You did amazing on the elliptical machine. I swear, I can barely do 2 mins before my legs and arms feel like they are about to fall off.

LOL

Sounds good. I like the way you substituted some of the ingredients. Seems a healthier this way. I'll fix it the altered way next time.

I cooked it the other night and it was so yummy. I even ate it as leftovers the following night.

I just looked at my food diary and it made me think of something funny. Do you ever have those days when you just eat yourself right down to your last numbers? Like today for instance, my food diary says my remaining numbers are: Calories 48 Carbs 37 Fat 0 Chol 102 Sugar 6 Sodium 547 Anyway, I still want to eat something.…

Hi everyone. I'm just in a zone right now. I feel pretty darn good lately. It is like the quiet before the storm. Umm, me feeling so positive about life and just anything in general, for this long? hmmm. I'm not going to complain about it. I'm just going to enjoy it while it lasts. :laugh: BTW, you know light/vigorous…

Hi and welcome to MFP. You can do it! I get daily inspiration from MFP members. Just look around and you will see success stories of those who have lost 50 to 100 pounds and even more. They are so courageous and determined. Just imagine you will be one of those people in the future. Keep your head up and remember we can do…

Just posting my stats in this thread. I started this week at 230.4 down to 228.6. Sheesh, I finally figured out how to use the calculator. :laugh: My percentage is 0.78%. Hope all have a good night...chat with you all tomorrow. ~Jay

Never mind about the percentage. I didn't read the entire post. I started this week at 230.4 down to 228.6. Sheesh, I finally figured out how to use the calculator. My percentage is 0.78%.

How do I check my weight loss percentage? If this question has been answered previously forgive me for the redundancy.

Jenn, you look fabulous! I love before and after pictures. They give me inspiration and I am sure for you it keeps you motivated. Keep up the great work!

This week's check in: I started this week at 230.4. I am now 228.6. *DRUM ROLL* That is a 1.8 pound loss. Yippe!

Does NJ count? We are so close!

Hey there gals! Hope everyone is doing okay. Today was a good day. I ate well and I worked out. I hope to see the scale tip in my favor tomorrow as my ticker is dying to move in the right direction. My positive affirmation for each day this week has been: "Be free of guilt today". I am keeping this in the back of my mind…

Hi mom...well I see that finally all my talk about MFP caused you to join. Welcome to MFP! Everybody is so nice and I think you will like it here. ~Jay

Well, today wasn't such a bad day. I worked out for about 60 minutes. Low impact stuff so I didn't burn that many calories, but it was still the effort for me that counts. Does anyone know of a good colon cleanse product? I have used Sonne #9 or Health Plus' Colon Cleanse. They are 100% pure psyllium. I try to do a cleanse…

My goal this week is similar to jennbarrette. I wanna see the 220's this week. For the past three days, I have been teetering between 229.7 and 230.1...LOL I think I know why. Although I had been working out everyday single day, it is also my TOM and I ate out yesterday and today. I did manage to stay within my allotted…

The Wii Fit is a whole new concept. You can play games or set up a routines and goals you want to complete. With the Wii Fit Plus, it even tells you how many calories you are burning. You can find out more information at: http://www.wiifit.com/

Hi Awestfall, looking at your profile, I don't see fat or ugly. That smile of your dazzles baby. However, I do know about being depressed. I suffer with major depression. My struggle was no matter how I tried to fix myself up or no matter what positive things anyone had to say about me, all I saw was the negative. Trust…

I love love love my Wii Fit Plus! You will need the wii balance board. I think you can get it bundled with the wiifit plus disc.

It is ridiculous how much I sweat when I am working out. Sometimes my hair is dripping wet. LOL Anyway, I use a dry shampoo. I have natural thick, curly African-American hair, so working out and my hair getting wet is really challenging. Lately, I've been using the dry shampoo (can't think of the name of it) and something…

Hey dolls. I have to head out to work so I wanted to do a quick check in. I hope everyone is well. I am down 1.5 lbs from last week. Was 231.9 now 230.4. Hope to see the 220's sometime this week. I'm pushing. Will check in with more details later.

I used to have horrible sinus infections. I'd have to get on antibotics. They only thing that really offered me some temporary relief was Aleve Cold and Sinus. It would get especially bad around October and also in May. Since I stopped working at a particular place, they went away. I found out that it was the HVAC units in…

Thanks everyone for your advise. It's evening now and I fought the urge. LOL Mainly because there is no fried chicken or chocolate in the house. Today is my first day off in 12 days and I was too lazy to leave the house today. haha. Anyway, tomorrow I'm going to get me that little piece of chocolate I have been craving so…

Hi everybody. Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. Well, today is one of those days I have to be extremely careful with. It is almost that time of the month. And during this time, all my reasoning with food goes right out the window. I get a sense of pure greed to be honest and I have a lot of problems with…

I bought some last month. I only took it for about a week and forgot all about it. I didn't use it long enough to form an opinion. But, I'd like to know what others think of it too.

Amazing. You're an inspiration....:love:

You go girl. I love reading success stories. If gives me more motivation and encouragement. Thanks for sharing.

My sodium and sugar intake used to be excessively high when I first started tracking my meals on MFP. Anyway, I started dabbling here and there tweaking my food choices and eventually, I kinda got used to which foods I need to avoid. For instance if I eat a yogurt and a banana for breakfast, that's 34 grams of my daily 40…

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this idea. I'm going to look into it further.
