  • The holiday was a nice break but yeah, now I am trying to regain my "balance". I love being around extended family but feel drained for a couple of days afterward. I haven't introduced myself, my name is Alesha and I am about 2 1/2 weeks into mfp. I am getting oriented and really enjoy this website.

  • LOL, well... the moment I read "mofobiscuit"... I laughed out loud. I still can't even say the words without smiling, haha!! And "crotch fat"... yeah you are a woman after my own heart!! Too funny- because I have to laugh at the things that can secretly drive me crazy- it takes their powers away- don'tcha know. And I have…

  • Pretty funny, my MFP friend! I love reading posts from people with a great sense of humor. Life is way too short not to spread the sarcasm, wittiness, and craziness around. BTW, I have made some great little pizzas at home with a pita, some marinara, and cheese stuck in the broiler. My kids love them and they are super…

  • I dunno... maybe if she were more of an apple shape with thinner legs, then the 30 pound weight loss would look a lot different on her than on me (I am pear shaped with heavy thighs/butt) so even if I lost 30 pounds, I wouldn't drop sizes too much (maybe from a 16 to a 12/14). Oh and she's still smoking so who knows if she…

  • I understand not being happy with your weight. I understand thinking that you will be HAPPIER with a healthy weight. But a number on a scale is not going to change everything if you are in a bad place mentally/spiritually etc. A loaf of whole wheat bread, some lean lunch meat and mustard is going to be cheap, last a while…

  • I was JUST thinking that when I saw this thread! The special K pastry krisps are awesome! It's like the best part of a poptart because they are so thin and crispy. I stock up on all the flavors for snacks for our whole family.

  • I swear, I have read through everyone's posts and it is so inspiring to hear of the changes each person has made. Simply stating your own story has its own power.

  • I've only been on here for five days and initially didn't know I was supposed to eat my exercise calories. I was eating 1200 calories which is my target goal and working out 40 minutes daily. I entered 30 minutes of daily exercise as a goal, so I thought it would be entered into my consumption needs. Anyways, I am…

  • Oscar Mayer turkey sausage- it's reduced fat and I have used it a lot in jambalaya... tasted pretty good!

  • @ LB YES!!!!! I love reading posts from others that could have been put up there by me! You are not alone, so many of us feel this way and so many of us are trying to do something about it here!

  • Hello! My name is Alesha. I am a comfort eater big-time and my go-to foods are fast food, junk food, chips, sweets, chocolate, etc... Whenever I feel tired, overwhelmed, stressed, or lazy (that's a big chunk of the time) I don't want to think about cooking something healthy or cook, period. I hate that eating out feels so…

  • I alternate pushing and pulling too, but I also drop my arms to the sides and don't hold onto anything for a challenge. It targets your core and balance not to rely on the handles.

  • I totally sympathize! It is so dang frustrating to have a bad day and Boom! there goes the calorie count, which spirals into even worse feelings... ugh!! I have days where I can do awesome, then by dinner time or after dinner it will all come undone. :frown:

  • I am also sick of thinking about the food, exercise, and obsessing over it more than actually doing something about it!! I am 32 and I want to look and feel amazing in my 30s! I have two daughters. I lost all the weight with my first one when she was about 2 and then had my second baby. My baby is 7 now and somehow I never…
