I have a toddler! She'll be 3 in November. She's my one and only and I'm 41 (translated: I'm old and tired from running around after her). I'm 5'2" and would like to lose 45 lbs, in addition to what I've already lost. My weakness is also carbs (bread and butter please), but I've been pretty good about my food since joining…

I agree with PP. I'm an American.

I prefer being called black. But I also hate when people try to be politically correct. I rarely use the term African American.

I drink 1-2 cups/day. I do think a full pot is a bit excessive, but as long as you are drinking lots of water, I guess you're OK? :) I usually grind my beans before I make each pot, but I found some delicious Mexican coffee at Trader Joe's that's already ground. I forget the name, but it's sooo good black. I always add…

1200 calories minimum and add more veggies and more protein. If you're a vegetarian, try beans, cottage cheese, and tofu. Double your cereal portions, eat the full serving of peanut butter (2 tbs) and you could quickly meet the 1200 requirement. Good luck. Sounds like you know what to do; just up the calories mainly.

Yes. Keeps me accountable.

What everyone else said. PLUS: the people that see you everyday may not notice at first. I have 45 to lose and most people don't start commenting til about half of it is gone (Yes I have gained and lost the same 45 lbs before). Then there are the people that are comfortable knowing you as a fat person. They may even have a…

The kids eat what I eat and I don't make them special meals. I try to have good balanced meals and they are usually pretty good about eating their veggies. Usually we have a protein, a grain, and a veggie. I just try to up my personal portions of veggies and cut back on the grains and meat. I have a stepson who goes back…

Feel free to add me! I'm 41 (42 in Nov - which I can't believe). I'm married with a soon to be 3 year-old daughter. I want to say she keeps me young, but lately, she's mostly kept me exhausted! Why did I wait so long to have kids?!?!?!? :) I'm slowly getting back into exercise. I used to exercise a lot -- running, biking,…

Hi and welcome! I'm relatively new here too. Been on MFP 3 weeks. I have lost about 15 lbs since the new year, but need to lose 45 more. Which I can't believe. I am loving MFP!! It really keeps me motivated. It makes it so easy to log your food and stay on track. My cravings are gone too. I feel like I'm really going to do…

Hi everyone! My name is Kathy. I joined myfitnesspal last Monday after I finally resolved to lose this weight once and for all. I was always a little chubby growing up. I lost weight in my 20s but yo yo'd. I50 to 135 then gradually up to 190 then (weight watchers) down to 145 in my early 30s. Had a baby at age 39 and shot…
