SugarHi

I eat my MFP alloted amount of 1200 calories.

I flux water weight up to 12 pounds in a day... I'd check over what you ate and try to adjust your sodium intake if you can, also make sure you're dining tons of water. It's okay though... our bodies are just doing what they need to :)

:flowerforyou: Hey Ladies, I'm also a Mainer... Portland area as well. Small world huh? It sounds like you've formed a habit of allowing yourself to let the food monster out. Make a plan, prep you’re after workout snack or meal and then focus on just sticking with that. What time of day do you exercise? Our bodies release…

Lemon slices Plain popcorn carrot sticks chocolate grapes nuts I am sure there are others, but these are the ones that get me totally excited for snack time!

Welcome to MFP and well wishes to you on your journey. Weight loss is achieveable but you really need to be doing this for you and not becuase your friends are crazy gym fanatics. My daughter wears a size 9 in juniors as well, which honestly is not that large. Put your mindset on being happy and change a few things around,…

Very interesting. I had to do a wikipedia search after reading your post. Thank you for the added knowledge!

Thanks Dmags! :laugh:

Only a few states allow Gay marriage. BUT in ALL states gay couples by law are allowed to adopt children. Go figure!

Just imagine all the mental turmoil this has created for the two ladies and their families. It's difficult to think about and rationalize the wrong teachings in this outcome. I do hope both families press charges.

YEAH! I love the energy you have!!! :flowerforyou:

This is such a wonderful accomplishment! You're doing such a great job! Keep walking!! :flowerforyou:

TO ME: water is just plain pure water, everything else has checmicals of some sort added in. :flowerforyou:

Well the mornings over, so start fresh right now! I had to teach myself that there are no excuses for over indlugence... You'll get there too! You are doing a fabulous job by the way... this is just a little hiccup!

NOT ME!!!! I look super hot in halter top style tops! :wink:

I work out at home, as I have equipment there and I parent 3 young children. I do exercise outside as much as possible. Lot's of people find it more motivating to be at the gym with others. To each their own I guess!

HAHA! This is really a big accomplishment. Great job! :flowerforyou:

Welcome to MFP and well wishes to you on your journey. You're making life style changes, these changes do take time, and patience and dilligence, and dedication, and motivation and so on. Keep on track and you will see success, each week you will probably see something different from the scale... that's okay! :flowerforyou:

Welcome to MFP and well wishes on your journey. I do agree, it's so nice to be around people who all want to achieve something similar! :flowerforyou:

I think it's awesome for larger people to be at the gym, we're all there for the same reason. But, remember you're making life style changes - they take time. They take patience from within ourselves as well. It's important to focus on the important sides of our journeys, our main goal is optimal health. How we do that is…

Welcome to MFP and well wishes to you on your journey. This is a life style change, and it looks as though you've already made them and need to continue to stick with it. Sometimes we kind of go out into limbo land for a bit and then come back. Be patient, remain consisten, motivated and dedicated. You are worth every step…
