  • Love it and needed it! Thank you!!
  • Thank you for your responses!!! They are great and a lot to consider! To answer some questions: My commute would be almost all interstate driving. Really only 40 miles down the road from where I work now. I just got a "newer" car and it has pretty good gas mileage. If I liked the job, then we would move to where I would…
  • This is my marriage too!! LOL!!
  • Love it!! Just may have to do a Harry Potter Marathon this weekend!!
  • It happens to a lot of us! I have had those bad days too and am a BIG emotional eater!!! Me and stress don't get along! But I am doing it this time! Slow by sure....very slow! lol! Feel free to add me! I can be a support system and a shoulder to cry on!! Hang in there! You CAN do this!!
  • Hi! I'm 30 something and want to lose about 25lbs! I have a bad knee and back but I started the C25K recently and am making pretty good progress and the pain is easing up! I love tennis and that is my goal to get back into the game! I'm hoping to start weights soon too! I don't believe in "Dieting" as much as a life style…
  • Sometimes I don't log because I don't want to see it...but like yesterday....I just simply have NO clue what I had and in what quantities! I have no clue how to look up grandma's mini peanut butter cookies, have no clue how many chips I had or how much home made taco dip I had (or how to figure out what it's worth). i just…
  • You don't want to start at high weights for the type of activity they are doing. I used to do a lot of weight lifiting in high school and have not done much since. I am doing 30 day shred but if I started any higher than 3-5lbs I would not to the activity properly and would probably hurt myself. Starting smaller for this…
  • You are not alone!! FR coming your way!!
  • I believe actions speak louder than words. My husband can say he loves me but he didn't desire me for many years! When we met I was a size 3 and he couldn't keep his hands off of me! Then I went all the way up to a 16 after our third child. Now I'm down to a size 10 but still have a ways to go. He actually thought he had…
  • I'm 5'1" and I would like to get to 120. I am currently at 147 but my highest was 178.8. But if I'm higher on the scale and toned I'm good with that as well! I just want to look good in a swim suit again! LOL!
  • I'm on here almost everday! I'm not from the UK, but I will be supportive!! We all need a good kick in the pants sometimes! Add me if you like! :-) Good Luck!!
  • I tried level 3 today....NO THANK YOU! lol! I'm not ready for that. I will need to go back to level two for a few more days! :-) I did up my weights and that has made it a lot harder too! Good Luck! It's a great program!!
  • Maybe...but part of the stress/problem is he works for a race track (marketing director) and he now works Saturdays (starting this week) from 8:30 a.m. to 1-2 a.m.! I have the kids EVERY Saturday by myself until October. So no matter what I do I have 3 kids with me...that don't necessarily get along all the time! :-) I am…
  • Love the quote!! Thank you!!
  • You just gave me kind words now I will give them back!! You can do this!!! No I take that back...WE can do this!!! I need someone to keep me accountable too!! It's hard and we fall off the wagon sometimes but we need to get back on. Just think of how much you want to run and play with your children!! Take one day at a time…
  • Thank you everyone! After I posted this I went and worked out and then did some Wii line dancing with my kids! That was fun and burned a lot of calories. I do want to lose 20lbs or more but if I look tone and weigh more than that I'm ok with that too. I have a membership to SNAP where I could do weights but I don't have…
  • Welcome!! I made the switch from WW to MFP and I Love it!! Good luck with your journey and wedding!! Feel free to add me if you would like an extra support!! :-)
  • Wow! Thank you for your replies!! It's nice to know that I am not alone in this siutation. So from what I can figure we have our weight gain to blame on college, pregnancies, and marrige! lol! Actually what it got me thinking was how we need to remind high school students to always take care of themselves and that life…
  • I'm a full time middle school band director and a full time mom of 3 kids under the age of 11! I pack a lunch every day but it's the dinner time that gets me. If I'm at school for a concert or something I usually end up eating out, but still try to make good choices. If everyone is home in the evening we usually (try) make…
  • I was a part of WW for years and lost 20lbs. I found that this site is a good replacement for it and is free! For me I think 1 point was about 50 calories and so when I figured out my calories on here it was pretty close to the points I got on WW. I have lost an additional 13lbs on MFP. I think this is easier as well. Good…
  • We lost our dog Molly (Beagle) in February after having her for 8 years! We just adopted a Borador (Border Collie/Black Lab mix) and his name is Jasper!! He is 8 months old a full of energy!!
  • Is there something in Diet pop that makes you crave it even more?? I am SO addicted to Dt. Dew! As I'm drinking my 3rd can for the day as I type this! lol! I am kind of stuck right now weight wise, tired a lot, and have high anxiety....I wonder if I can get off of it, if I can help those things. Hmmm....
  • Sounds good! All these numbers confuse me!!! UGH!! Let me know if you find anything on your end. Add me as a friend if you would like!
  • My kids eat the same things and my 11 year old is 71lbs and my 9 year old is 92lbs. My son has a very high metabolism and can eat whatever he wants (if I let him) and barely gains an ouch. My daughter eats more healthy foods than any of us and is overweight. My kids have a nice balance of outside/inside play and watching…
  • There are two kinds of Lechithin. Regular Lechithin comes from an egg protein and then there is soy lechithin from a plant. I only know this because my son is allergic to eggs and that was on the list to watch out for. Soy lechithin is becoming more popular these days in foods, but you can find Lechithin in a lot of…
  • 5'1"! My dad used to tell me that Dynamite comes in small packages!! I used that all the time now!! I would love any short friends so anyone please feel free to add me!! :-)
