Hello, I would love to join your challenge! What are the "rules"? Thanks!

me too! so instead of fighting it, I work out at night. Around 8-9, shower, then I am out like a light! :-)

WOW! too funny, I did the exact same thing with brownies tonight!!! I ate 2 too!! :laugh: I called myself burning it by getting on the treadmill for 70 mins!! :bigsmile: But what a great change in lifestyle, huh? I would have never thought to burn the calories before!!! Good job!!:drinker:

Hi! I am currently 149, between size 10 and 8, 36-34-37. I've checked out some websites that put the healthy range somewhere between 135-165. I think we have to take into consideration how we are built and how we feel too. For me, 135 is too small...I've been there before and I think I looked anoxeric (sp?) and my head…

Wow! Thanks for sharing! Makes me think about all the before and after pictures taken for certain advertisement!

YES!!!! HAHA!!

I join an awesome group here called the Fab Fours to keep me accountable and inspired. Here's a ink, check us out!! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/98284-join-us-fab-fours-4-week-challenge-group-new

Unfortunately, it is the same as any other weight lose! Eat less, move more :laugh: :laugh: :flowerforyou: Just remember that your body takes about one year to get back to normal after having a baby so don't stress too much if you don't see progress right away. I have 3 kids and my weight situation was different after (and…

haha, ok, I see it, duh! :flowerforyou: :blushing:

Ok, perhaps I'm having a old-ER person moment, but what does this mean??:laugh: :bigsmile:

I've been pretty fortunate since I've been on this site since August 09 and have never seen any of the things you guys are saying. (I better examine myself and make sure it isn't me!!) :laugh: Every thread I've been on has a great bunch of people, so I just wanted to encourage someone that we aren't all bad!! :bigsmile:…

Like most people have replied, whenever you can fit it in! :laugh: I hate working out in the morning! I am not a morning person so to wake up to do anything "extra" is not happening! I tried for the longest time to work out in the morning because everyone says it's the "best" time but I failed miserably!! So I finally just…

That's awesome!! And way to go Dad for stepping up!!

I usually have mine plain too but when I need a little something, I use honey. 1 teaspoon is about 22 calories but i use less than sugar and it is less processed than sugar. I don't like artifical sweetener at all! I figure if I can't have it when I'm pregnant then it's not good for me when I'm not! I don't even drink diet…

Ask if they have brown rice instead of white, a lot of chinese restaurants have it available. Get anything with stir fried veggies but ask for the sauce on the side, that way you can control how much salt...oops, sauce you get! :flowerforyou: To make it real healthy, ask for steamed tofu with the veggies instead of chicken…

Hi Kerry, come on over to the fab four group! it's a great group for mini goals, we break them up into 4 week challenges! hope to see you there! Just click on this link or copy and paste to your browser to find it or search for fab four! good luck!…

HI! I just wanted to say I know how you feel! I just lost 19 lbs and it took a person who wasn't around the office for months to notice first! 20 lbs is kinda hard to notice when you see the person every single day. It's the person who haven't see you in a while that notices! My hubby didn't notice at first either (since…

"Thank you" with a BIG GRIN on my face which usually prompt them to ask questions then I Iet them have it!! You would think i was a paid spokesperson for MFP!! Congrats!!

ok, WANNABEACULLEN, I've read a few of your posts on here and I can tell you are from the "D" too! I think I laughed at ALL your posts since I know EXACTLY what you are talking about!!!

My mom took metformin and was sick for almost 3 weeks. Her doctor took her off of it and put her back on glyburide and just increased the mg. That seem to do the trick. Hope you feel better soon!

16 days without coffee!!! That's huge!! :noway: :drinker:

I've lost my motivation since I can't work out much either. My shoulder is coming along after surgery but it's incredible how limited I am! I've been working on my abs but that's really about it. Even walking on the treadmill is hard, since the swinging of the arm motion hurts my shoulder! Not to mention the amount of time…

I have to confess that I'm losing a little focus here. I thought coming back to work would help since it keeps me on a schedule but it's been more challenging! It's not helping that I'm losing nearly 4 hrs a week on physical therapy so working out has been hard. My calorie intake is fine until I leave work and even with…

-treadmill while watching TV -wii fit with the kids -we just bought a BioForce (like the Bowflex) so I'm excited about that. -and I love Taebo when the kids let me!

YES! I can't believe it's already the middle of the month!! Where is the time going???:laugh:

One pound to go??? WOO-HOO!!! Good for you!!! Keep it up!!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

HI jlbay! Good to see you posting again! Eat the cookie and go burn the calories! haha! When I see how much I have to burn after treating myself, I think twice the next time! Keep on doing the right thing and I echo Barbie, don't give up!!

Good job!!! Keep up the good work!

thanks Susan!
