@ foxyforce no don't change it cause you are beautiful!

Hi! Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm Rachel and I did gain a lot of weight while I was pregnant. I ate for two instead of trying to stay at a healthy weight. That was over 5 years ago. I joined MFP in July 2012. I was sick of still blaming the weight on having a baby...5 years ago. It is not a valid excuse anymore!!…

Hi! I'm 5' 6" and my goal is to be around 175 or less. I have a very large body frame and I'm way too small at 160...;:bigsmile:

you are right about that! My father used to work at a pork processing plant....I know some of these things, but it still doesn't stop me from eating them...Even if some of these are gross

thanks for that information! I did not know this :frown:

Restybaby, you have said it! Straight and forward!! 8-) I thank you for the support and tips and encouragement you have given me while we have been friends. We need to support Good habits and boo the Bad ones. Great pic of killer! Beautiful cat! My 5 yr old daughter likes the pic too! She's an animal lover. She said thank…

GREAT POST!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

My honest reason for losing weight is to feel better. My arthritis doesn't like carrying around 60 extra lbs.... And I want to live longer..:bigsmile:

I was overweight in high school. I lost 85 pounds after high school and kept it off for 2 years. I became pregnant and gained some back. then I gained some more, And found out that I'm bipolar...Well my daughter is now 5 and I decided I couldn't "Blame" having a child for the extra weight. I am strong as an ox but fat too.…

I gained more like the "freshman 25!!" lol. I need to start planning my meals in advance also...I think I may try that!

I also am in college and know this "trick". I am making it work for me! I'm only 5'6" and the shortest person in my family...So I feel really short. Good luck with your Exam!

Hi! I'm Rachel and I'm 27. I also want to get healthy and lose weight. So far I've lost 8 lbs, 2 inches from my waist and 3" form my hips. I am on here everyday, but I only started July 12th. Feel free to add me :happy:

Never married but with my partner for 6 years! :tongue:

I'm 5' 6" and weigh between 225 to 230. I wear some 16s and 18s mostly. Shirts are from large (if they're made big) to a XXL.

Yes I do. My humor hasn't been too great lately, but yes, I get it too!! lol :ohwell:

Yup! I'm awake. Can't sleep and my day starts in a few hours (it's 3:20 am. here in Mississippi) so I just got my workout in. Hope to get another one in later today! :bigsmile:

I'm still kind of new, but my diary is open...don't look too far back. I only stopped drinking sodas 5 days ago! I am slowly learning to eat better and I have added exercise to my daily (almost) routine! feel free to add me.:happy:

Thanks everyone! you have all given me great ideas! :bigsmile:

Okay, thanks! :smile:

added!

I am not very fond of tofu..but I Love beans! Thanks!:smile: I have never had Quorn..Do you know if it is available in the US?

Thanks, I Love nuts, chicken, and fish (especially the fish I catch myself..Lol) I did not think about the nuts being high in protein, but you're right..I guess I need to stock up on a few for snacks during the day! Hmm..yogurt..making me want some!! 8-)

I may try protein shakes..I wasn't really thinking too well when I posted "without cals & carbs". I think you know what I meant..not loaded with cals and carbs. :blushing: Thanks!

I will try this also!!! Thank you !:happy:

Thanks for the advice! I will try it!! :bigsmile:

Yes, many people might not agree, but I do! I know it's true! I just have to set my mind to it. Thank you for your support, and I will be sending you a friend request also 8-)

SO True

Thanks once again to my new found friends! By the way, just to clarify....No one has said anything about my logs. Just looking at everyone else's seemed to make mine puny in comparison. All the P90X and things like that. Which I guess I should have thought about the fact that I'm just starting out. I do floor workouts at…

No seriously, Thank You!! :drinker: I Needed to know this, because I just recently joined and had not thought about that. :glasses:

You are welcome and I hope to keep inspiring..That made my day! Please read the posts about the daily routines though, because I did not know this. :happy:
