Great question, being so close to the situation I can see why you would have these questions. If you read what I have previously posted you will see that this indeed did begin as my own personal goal and way of dealing with the feelings I had from this event. I lived in Boston for a while and it is a place that will always…

I personally will only be logging miles walked or ran and only those done on the treadmill I will not include any daily roaming. This really started as my personal challenge to really push myself, connect to the situation and show my support. That being said if you feel your unable to complete these by walking/running feel…

I love seeing all of the updates on here, they really motivate me! I am currently at 5 miles and after reading these I am actually excited about tomorrows run. For me music makes a huge difference while I am exercising, I have started making a play list for my Boston miles (greatly influenced by red sox), I am looking for…

So glad you are joining. It is great that you where able to do a 5k to show your support! It hit me really close so I figured this was perfect, now that Ive committed I feel there is no choice other thank to reach my goal which will also help me with weight loss and getting in better shape. A win for all :) I would love to…

I don't really struggle with depression and such but weight loss and controlling my eating has been a long going battle for me now. Just about a month ago I was doing really well using this site and now I have pretty much just gained it all back. I decided that today I was going to start over and get things back on track…

You're welcome to add me, I have been on the look out for some new friends on here as well. Ive been off and on for some time now but the last 3 weeks have gone really well for me. I hope to keep on track and I know that the support from others on here has really helped keep me on track.

Oh No by Andrew Bird

Say that I haven't weighed this much since high school! I spent years fighting with those numbers on the scale failing every time and just this morning I hit a weight I haven't seen in 7 or 8 years easy, I'm no where near my goal yet but it feels good to have finally passed that number.

Single and embracing it! Its nice to have the time to put some focus on myself and make the changes that I have been saying I was going to for years. Doesn't bother me at all to be alone on valentines day, I work with kids so we always celebrate during the day with treats and tons of pink and red lol it may not be romantic…

Spinach Strawberries Watermelon Flax seeds I normally fill it about half way with spinach and half with fruit then add a table spoon or two of flax seeds. Throw in a bit of water so it will mix nicely and I normally add some chunks of ice near the end just to make it nice and cold (though I'm sure you could just use frozen…

I have one and like it but as far as making the weight melt off make sure you are still tracking everything that goes into it and keeping under your calories healthy things like almonds and flax seeds are great for you but add to the calories quickly. Health wise I cant speak for the value of these but two of my favorite…

I think its completely unacceptable, really clothing is not that hard to put on! Nothing simpler than jeans and a t-shirt only takes two minutes to get dressed and little to no thought. Unless your house has caught on fire and you ran out in your pajamas and are at the store to buy some new clothes to wear then there is no…

If you do a search online you will come up with soo many different ones, but if you want to feel your thighs I have just started adding in the invisible chair exercise. It is simple and something I'm sure you have seen before but you just put your back against a wall and bend your knees like you where sitting in a chair…

WhenTheKidsGoToSleep Shaycarl and his wife host if, Shay himself has lost over 100 pounds now, he is a rather inspiring man. It is normally quite entertaining and they often have guests on from youtube. They put out two half an hour long shows per week, definitely check them out!

I try for once a week but sometimes I will do a random check between that. I also started on the first doing my measurements and intend to on the first of every month.

I plan on logging close to what I eat, everything might not be exact. I hope to stay close to my goal calories but I am not going to over stress it, I am sure I will go over a bit. I have stayed under for my first two Christmas parties so I figure even if I go over a bit on Christmas it's self I still have done well.

me too! so many parents just give the kid what they want to keep them quiet, though he probably should have left the store and came back in to try again after, props for him to not give in even when I'm sure the screaming child put him under the judgmental eye of everyone around. Maybe the tantrum was now handled…

I am currently 257, no where near my goal weight. This is my second time trying through using mfp but last time back in September I didn't use any of the social features and simply just tracked what I ate. This time I am on the hunt for a few people who will help keep me on track and be as excited about the silly little…

I work with young kids and in the classroom the boys sometimes play with the dolls, but I notice these are normally the same boys that favor stuffed animals as well. If dad really has an issue with it you could always try having a "baby bear" caring for the animal would provide the same care taking and nurturing…
