Me too! I would love more friends - I have a lot to lose!!!

Thank you all SO MUCH! Great info! I am excited to get started! :smile:

You gorgeous!!! Thank you for posting!!! I am about where you started, and your same height....but add about 20 years... So glad you have done this while you are young! You are my inspiration!!!

No, Actually, I have never lifted the laundry basket the way I lifted it when I hurt my back. There were 2 baskets next to each other, in a small hallway, along with my son's football workouts bag. I was trying to quickly put the basket up on top of the closed washer...then put the other one on the dryer...and close the…

Thanks Brian! I learned my lesson!

Steve, that's my first line of defense...not going to get all worried and upset until Monday. It felt a tad better this morning than it did last night. Hoping it will feel a bit better tomorrow, too. Thanks!

Thanks! According to everything I am reading, either is fine. Not much definitive research on either when it comes to lower back injuries... Definitely worth researching!

I do the weightlifting M,W, F....and on M/F I also do the spin class. T/TH I do the elliptical. It is a lot, but it makes me feel great (well, until now...)

Thank you so much for all of the advice! To relieve your mind about the Oxy....my brother is a urologist and my sister-in-law is a pediatrician - my dad spoke with them before he brought me the meds. They both said it would be fine until Monday - he only brought me 6. I am waiting until tomorrow to see how I feel. I can…

Hi, I've been on the generic Welbutrin...Buproprin XL...for over a year now. When I first took it, I felt the same way. Crazy amount of energy...cleaned everything in my house, even the fridge...and had no appetite at all. I literally had to make myself take a bite or two of something at least once a day. However, it wore…

Me! A little more than 100, actually! Please feel free to add me....anyone!

I loved Weight Watchers. I lost 76 pounds over about 6-7 months. I lost every week, usually close to 2 pounds...sometimes more, sometimes less. I am amazed at how many people are bashing it - it's not that expensive. I do agree you pretty much do the same thing here, but I think it is the group effect that really helps! I…

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this information!! I had no idea! One of the things I really was hoping to measure is my weightlifting class. It is a little aerobic....but I am sure not enough. Crummy! I still think it would be good to kind of find an in-between of what MFP says about calories burned, what the machine…

OH...and has anyone worn one while swimming??? Do they really work in the water? Thanks!

Thanks!!!! SO, what more do you get for the pricier models? I do a weight lifting class, starting a spinning class next week, sometimes do Zumba, and do the elliptical.

YAY! I'm glad this is helping you, too!

I've only done this for a small amount of time, but it obviously works. =) When people say they are not losing (not everyone, mind you, but many), it is often because of "little cheats". Things like serving yourself a larger portion than you log - look at how much a serving of pasta is....actually measure it with a…

I almost never comment on these boards, but I just had to for you! What am amazing person you are! Already well over 100 pounds down! WOW! Please know that you are SUCH an inspiration to people like me! I so identified with the being embarrassed to go to the gym or to the pool! I have been putting off swimming laps at our…

I LOVED WW and have no problems with it....but it's not free, like MFP. MFP also gives you a great little community...all the time! Plus, I like that I can really look at the nutritional value of everything I eat. I notice things I would never have noticed on WW...like there are days when I eat WAY too many fat grams, and…

I am the exact same shape. Several years ago, when I was in really great shape, I could wear a small to medium on the top, and a size 16 on the bottom. However, I was on my way to really reducing the bottom when I started spin class. It about killed me, but all of my friends were telling me how much smaller my legs were…

There are several free apps out there that work just like WW - with the points. There are apps that use both the old and the "new" points system. You get to choose. But, either way, you have to use your weight, height, and how active you are in your daily life to calculate your points. As you lose weight, the number of…

You are SO PRETTY! Way to go!!!!

How terrible! I can imagine how much that hurt! But how wonderful that you did not turn to food for comfort! That is HUGE! So glad you could give yourself an amazing Christmas gift like that! I hope he learns to give you more love and respect.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this!!!! I am 44 and a little over where you started. I, too, had always been relatively healthy, but at this age, the extra weight is taking it's toll. You help me to know this can be done. By the way, you look AMAZING! I love seeing before and after pics, and it always amazes…

That is a HUGE difference!!! And you look so much happier and younger!!!

WONDERFUL!!!! So inspiring!!!! So happy for you! Keep up the good work!
