Bump - to be able to print when I get home! I love tacos!!!

Hi! I've been divorced for 7 years now and am a single mom to an amazing 10-year-old girl. It is hard, but so worth it! Sending you a friend request!

You don't look obese to me, either. I try to think of BMI as a motivational tool. If you are just using the calculator on the site, it only considers height and weight, not muscle mass, fat percentage, etc. So your actual BMI could be completely different if you had more testing done (not suggesting it, I don't get the…

I find that everyone is different. I've tried both ways, and what ended up working best for me is when I eat back 1/2 of my exercise calories! Good luck to you!

Bumping to watch the video once I get home!

Welcome from chilly WNY! I'm actually doing WW side-by-side with MFP and so far I am having success. For me, I find WW easier for helping me plan my day's meals (I try to plan a week ahead of time), but I love MFP for tracking macros, etc. If you want accountability for your weigh-ins, feel free to add me as a friend! I…

Sounds like we have similar stats! I'm 5'4, currently at 194.6, goal weight of 135-140 (depending on how I feel & how my clothes fit when I get close). Sending you a friend request!

Bump! I love my bananas!!!

Thank you! And for the record, I did google this before posting my question here. There are just so many options I figured I'd come here to ask the "experts" which site was reputable! Thanks again!!! :)

Hello! I understand how you feel! I'm a single mom as well, my DD is now 10, but her dad & I divorced when she was 3. You just have to find the time. Playing games and chasing after your son at the playground now that the weather is getting nicer will help a lot! When DD was that young, I found I had to make time to…

Lol! You crack me up! :laugh:

Single mom to 1 - feel free to add me! :)

I LOVE this idea! :)

Forgive yourself and keep moving forward.

Bump! Excellent post!

-5 with a windchill of -24 here in Buffalo. Oh, did I mention we're getting a blizzard????? Not fun!

I do except for when I'm doing yoga. Otherwise my feet, ankles, & back hurt too much the next day!

Oh - forgot to add that I do love wine! :drinker:

I do McD's twice a month and am still successful with my WLJ!

I'm from Buffalo, NY, too! And I love that we get to enjoy the 4 seasons!

Hi! Feel free to add me! I'm a single-mom (divorced) to a busy, busy, 9 yo girl. She is just finishing up her cheerleading season, so I'm looking forward to the pace slowing down for a bit! I also work full-time, and sometimes have to bring work home.

Bump - sounds yummy!!

When you log, do you only use the computer? Or do you also have the app on your smartphone? If you use the app, there is a feature to remind you to log if you haven't logged by a certain time of day. I use it on the weekends and it has helped keep me accountable.

I agree. I take my daughter out once a month to McDonald's and once a month to Subway. She likes to have soda with her meals (I don't keep it in the house, so it is a nice little treat for her). Some of our local Subway restaurants will not let you order a soda with the Kids-Fit Meals, yet she can order chocolate milk. DD…

I have a "higher calorie day" once a week. Nothing crazy, but it helps me to not feel deprived. Plus, if I do have a special event where I really want to indulge (and those days are few and far between), it helps ease my guilt and helps me to get back on track the next day.

Welcome! I'm a single-mom to a 9 year old girl in the WNY area. Feel free to add me!

Are you sure? Do you take your measurements? My belly has always been my worst area. When I started losing inches, my lower belly was getting smaller but actually looked worse, because my waist and upper stomach area lost more inches first! Hang in there!

Thanks for posting this!

TV - most recently the episode of Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition when the client tells Chris that the day he picked her and took her for her first workout, she had a plan to commit suicide that day. She thanks him for literally saving her life. I bawled like a baby!

Bumping for later - just got called into a meeting!
