Congrats on making the choice to change your life and get healthy and taking the first steps to getting started! Good luck to you!

Congrats on quitting smoking!!! That is a huge accomplishment in its self. So far I have lost 10 lbs in the last couple of months. I have been a member of this site for a little while and was doing awesome when I first started but then I had a few health problems that were preventing me from exercising so I fell off the…

I voted for you! Good luck and I hope you win!

Thanks for the post they sound really yummy!

My first day with my pedometer and I had 8497 steps!!! I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings since I'm going to be at the ball park most of the day watching my daughter play. I'm loving this pedometer already!! Jen

Dasha, That is a BIG deal! You should be very proud of yourself. I still have to convince myself to get up and exercise. I did find a thread on here a few days ago about walking with a pedometer so today I went and bought one. I'm finding that the little thing makes me accountable for myself sitting around. I've only been…

Hi everyone, I would like to join this group and start logging my step with everyone. I found this topic a few days ago and have been reading the post. This has inspired me to go get a pedometer and get to walking. I spend a lot of my day walking through my house doing chores (with 5 kids it adds up quickly :laugh: ) and…

I would love to hear also! I've had 3 c-sections and would love to be able to get my abs back!!

Bump!!

I know what you mean. I usually drank a 44oz of Mt. Dew a day and about 2 weeks ago when I found MFP I limited myself to 1 can and now I really don't like the taste of it. It's almost like it's to sweet for me. I have also discovered after drinking Mt. Dew that I seem to crash a couple hours after drinking it. Something…

Here is one of my favorite sites. Most of the recipes are from Cooking Light and they have the nutritional values at the bottom of the recipe. I have made several dishes and so far my family has loved all of them. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipes

I'm with ya! My whole family is on the big side and I refuse to live like this because "it runs in the genes." Well those genes stop with me. I plan on showing everyone that it doesn't have to run in the genes and that we can slim down and be healthier. I'm making new genes to hand down to my children! My weight problem is…

Jessica My numbers haven't moved either this week. It was a little disappointing since I've been working hard. I did lose 3 lbs in the first week so I'm going to keep up the hard work and hope that next week the numbers will start going down again. Good luck to you and keep up the hard work!!

Bumping to add to my recipes!!! Sounds great I'm ready to try it.

Wow!! Congrats you look great. I know how you feel about making things for the kids and then resisting. I use to be really bad about snacking while I was cooking dinner and then eating dinner with the family. I've made myself record everything that I put in my mouth so that has really helped with me not snacking anymore.…

:drinker: I use to drink A LOT of Mt. Dew daily. Then last week when I started this I decided to cut back the amount that I was drinking and limit it to only 1 can a day. I'm doing great with it and my stomach doesn't look nearly as bloated as it was. I plan to completely give it up in about a month or sooner. Not only did…

I'm in. I'm pretty much on track with everyone. I started working out and working on my diet last week Monday and I've lost 3lbs in the last week. I think it had more to do with me limiting the amount of pop that I was drinking and just simply eating better, but I am working hard.

Lizzy9, There was an exercise in a magazine that will help tone your arms and trust me it works!! I have only been doing it for a week, but after the first day I could feel it working. I still have not been able to get to the third set. After the first two sets my arms are burning so bad that I finish there. Like I said I…
