#*@!$#$!@#%@ HAPPY SEPTEMBER EVERYONE - LET'S KICK SOME CALORIE *kitten*!!!! *#@!@#@

Giving you an awesome high - five for going on!!! You'll get there!!!!:drinker:

*^!*!^* tHrOwInG CoNfEtTi*^*!* Way to go!!!!! :happy:

i'm on board!! started back to work so need motivation to keep going with what i started! friending you!!! :happy:

divider trays are a good idea. i think i'm going to try buying some of your suggestions in bulk and take them in to school. i'll use my cubby in the teacher room as a fake pantry and the fridge --- maybe i can pretend i'm still at home and do it that way. i didn't mention that i have 5 kids of my own - so nights are…

:bump: is a way to save a thread to read later - it shows up on your home page that you visited here and gives you a link back. people :bump: as a way of saving if they don't want to make a comment. bumping also puts the topic back at the top of the list - so if you bump an old thread it sorta gets renewed.

loooooooooooooooove this answer- thanks for the perspective check --- i can see how easily you can get crazy about food/calories/exercise --- and i DO NOT have time for that also!!!! now off to the squats cause DAAAAANG they hurt the butt!!! :wink:

thanks all -- i've been this active for forever it seemed - but it's also been equally as long since i've been able to lose any weight. since i joined 10 days ago i've lost 5 pounds -- only thing i've changed is paying better attention to the food part! just wanted to keep an accurate record/goal/calories as possible and…

so if i take my dog for a walk every day then i shouldn't really count that because it's just part of my "normal" - but if i go for a walk w/o dog which would be longer/more aerobic/faster then i could?

I put the activity level at the next to top one -- because that made it seem like i'm running marathons every day (which i'm not --- ever!) Maybe I need to change it to the highest one? I get up at 5:45 and don't stop moving until 10:00 pm --- every single day of the week. I'm super active but it's not always in an aerobic…

He' a GROWN UP and your a GROWN UP - it's all good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah - No whining and get your *kitten* in gear!!!! :smile:

as awful as it may sound - but to basically have people wonder how the hell my husband married ME!! and i'm really tired of thinking about my appearance all the time and worrying - it will be awesome to walk out the door knowing i look amazing and not worrying about anything. and lastly, people used to always tell me how…

haha - that's awesome!!

KNOCK IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm the mom of 5 and a teacher --- I can totally tell you what to do and give you stink eye!!! :huh: plus - i need to lose 30 pounds so feel free to dish it right back to me!!!!! :laugh:

omg - i just walked into my kitchen 4 times to get something to eat due to menstrual cravings..... want to eat it all!!!! i even went to the gym just to have the extra calories so i could but the guilt is stopping me --- plus i realize that i don't really want it for a "valid" reason ... i'd just inhale it then go back for…

i just realized something by reading all of these - my goal is a SIZE and everyone else has is a number on the scale! I am currently a size 10/12 and I want to be a size 8 - have no idea what the number is for that for me. I was 132 when I got married and at 145 I could wear a size 8 -- so maybe somewhere around there ...…

This is not sweat - it's liquid awesome! I'm not losing weight - I'm getting rid of it because I don't want it back

why are you not looking at the road?!?

The other day one spin instructor recommended that I get certified to the gym owner -- blew my mind! I AM NOT built like an instructor - but realized in that moment that I am as strong as one! Was awesome to realize that someone I admire thought I could do it too!

WALK AWAY!!!! Stress sucks, and girlfriend, I am totally w/ you right now ... finances, husband, work .... all crashing in around me right now but somehow I have turned that in to my motivation. The rest is happening around me/to me but I AND YOU can control how we look and feel!!! I use being pissed off at the gym -…

when im in that boat i do 2 things: 1. go back to recording my food and increase water 2 . find a new class or exercise to do that makes me focus/think, and find new friends at the gym sounds like you're on the right track - awareness is a huge part of the battle vs. sticking your head in the sand. good luck!!!!!

add in some oils, handful of nuts, avocado, nut butters .... healthy items that are slightly higher in fats/calories. i was having the same basic problem because i really don't care to eat anything but veggies, beans and fruits. one day i was 800 calories below due to a heavy exercise day! i've lost 4 pounds in one week by…

THIS IS THE BEST PROOF EVER THAT SKINNY DOES NOT = HEALTHY AND THE SCALE ISN'T THE END ALL BE ALL OF FITNESS -- YOU LOOK AWESOME!!

Indeed they are!!!!

When I get bored I go to the internet -- find music playlists, video workout on youtube, go to magazine sites (like self.com) that have workouts posted .... so that I get to do something new which ends up being a challenge and my brain has to actual focus rather than spacing out watching a tv show ( which i think makes the…

MFP has the HOTTEST people ~ just ask us!!! lol!!!!! 10's for everyone!!! :love:

8 - you look sad!!! smile!!
