I don't like them but I only have one child. If I learned anything about being a parent, I learned never to never. That being said, I do not envy my mom who had 6 of us in a small time frame. I think it makes kids look like pets but whatever. To people who always bring up judging: You are a liar if you say you don't judge.

Thats my goal right now as well. I am four down so far!

I love the muffin tin. I can cook my favorite foods at smaller portions. I def am going to do the cheesecakes now! Look what you guys have done :P

Our society does has double standards when it comes to men and women. I think if you create the child, man or woman, they you should take responsibility for the child. No matter how the sex happened or with whom. Both individuals should support it or both should sign away their rights and give the child up for adoption.…

For me, I was thinking at first that this phrase was jerky. Like the picture of the one leg man which I commented on and then I thought about the phrase "Whats your excuse?". Why am I big? Who do I have to blame? And what am I doing about it? As someone who has been bullied and someone who is still big: I say, there are no…

I think this is awesome she was able to do what she did. I know that I have weight to lose and my journey is for me. People complain about other people no matter what they do. If she was fat, people would say something and if she was skinny people would say something. You cannot live your life worrying about other people.…

I think it is a flattering picture of me. I have others but I don't like how I look in them. i just can't wait until i take the after picture when I loose more noticeable weight.

I don't understand why people do this. There are athletes who run with no legs and wheelchair basketball players. People, there is always someone out there that may seem better in someway. I think instead of showing what you did as a prideful boast, I would rather see a picture of him as a personal trainer or something…

My relationship helps me because my husband always motivates me to be the best version of myself. We met in the military so he knows that I can workout and keep weight down if I want to do so. We motivate each other and work together on our shopping choices and talking about fitness routines. He also is aware I gained all…

Well I was big before I joined the military and lost 80 pounds and kept it off for 5 years. I then had my son which I gained it all back and then some. People tell me oh you can do it again. However, this time I have injuries from my service the worse being my arthritis in my knees. We ran so darn much my knees are just…

I have arthritis and bad knees to. I definitely know how you feel. What motivates me is that the weight can be partly to blame for the arthritis. So, in my mind I think that loosing could help me feel some type of relief. Lately, my knees have been especially hurting so I use some pain cream and try not to stand or sit for…

I cook a lot also so what I have done is entered in meals that I know I cook often. Also, sometimes I enter in the food while its on the stove cooking and I have some time available while I wait for the food to finish. On some days, I make things with less than four or five things in the whole meal. This can be time…

I rock a one piece and I am no where near my weight loss goals. I wear what i want and other people can suck it. And I don't mean that I have my stretch marks or big belly showing. I dress conservative and nice but if people want more then oh well. Girl, I want to just congratulate you on your weight loss. I would love…

I don't understand the snarkiness people use on here sometimes. If you don't put cleaning down, then don't. I think people should be able to count whatever calories they want to. Some people add they eat lettuce and some small calorie foods. I think you can log everything as a way to track what you do. You miss would know…

When I joined the Army over 7 years ago I lost over 80 pounds from the time I signed throughout basic combat training or boot camp. People back home talked behind my back and spread rumors I was on drugs, had cancer, or aids among the people who didn't know I went to the military. Through the next 5 years people said I…

Personally, I often struggle with whether, I have had a food addiction or just bad food habits. Growing up, I was always taught to finish my plates and we didn't always have food. Therefore, when we did have food I would eat as much as I could because I didn't know where my next meal would come from. Also, I just love the…

Stuff like this ticks me off because they would be the same individuals complaining if they saw you large and not doing anything. Like I always remind my sister people always yapping their gums. If you poor they talk, rich, tall, fat, skinny. I would take the free stuff and continue to do my thing. i would report them. I…

I am kind of sad. My little one is almost 2 and I am just start the weight lost journey all over again. I wish all you girls luck. Loosing this weight is not easy but we can do it.

Girl, if you look at my history it has been on again off again with me on here. This time I am serious about it too and the motivation on here helps. You can hit me up and we can do this journey together and cheer each other on. There is no reason to go at this alone. So many people struggle by themselves when they don't…

I really think its all in how you make them. Most people steam or boil the crap out of their veggies and all the nutrients are gone. For carrots you can make a light brown sugar glaze and for others you can add onion or garlic. Veggies can taste better if you know what to pair them up with. You might need just a tad bit of…

The Elliptical is best for me with my arthritis. I also love my bike :)

Welcome girl and I wish you all the luck. Congrats on your weight loss, this means you can do whatever you put your mind to. I am am hopeful for you as well since you seem to be so positive. Good luck on your journey!

I live in Georgia! Hit me up anytime!

I am working on my Bachelors in Business Administration (haven't figure out my concentration yet)... Still wondering if I want to keep going for my Masters....

I totally tried this and it was an epic fail. Not only is my juicer in the corner collecting dust, I still have the picture of my first glass. The juice fast is appealing with its results and it seems easy that you just have to drink. However, for me, as much as I love food there were too many temptations, hunger pains,…

I totally do not mind being called a lady. If you have been around the block, you can tell if someone is meaning to be offensive. Words like ma'am and lady to me give off the connotation of respect in my eyes. I worked long enough and hard enough to not have to prove how much of a "2013" woman I am.

I have seen this and a variation of this type of post too many times on here. I don't understand why it bothers people to hear complaining in the motivation and Support forum. I don't get it. O_o

If I listen to every person on MFP who list what's wrong with every food item , then I would never eat. Stay under your calorie limit, exercise, and stop stressing.
