I feel your frustration. I have a similar job and lifestyle and I know how hard it is to get to the gym so I have 2 suggestions for you. 1) Try going BEFORE work. Gyms are less crowded and you could use the quiet time to start your day AND you will be more energized thru the day. 2) If that's just too early for you try…

I have 3 so far with at least two more I want. My first one was a Triquetra which some people see as a Celtic symbol and some see as a Wiccan symbol. To me it's a Wiccan symbol and also the symbol on the front of the Book of Shadows from the TV show Charmed. My second one is a Heart-A-Gram which represents that place wher…

I have plenty of "fluff" to share so feel free to add me as a friend. :-) :flowerforyou:

If you're not really hungry then just leave it be. If you want a little something then just have a small snack for 100 calories and feel good about how you did today

Sounds tme like you are finally in a good place in your life! Be happy with who you are and enjoy your life. Life is too short NOT to enjoy it!!! I hope to someday be in that same good place you finally are. :-)

You don't have to "work-out" or go to the gym. The little things you do at home count as exercise too. You just have to be creative. Put the little ones in a stroller and walk around the block a few times and count that as your exercise under the category of Walking at a slow pace. If your baby is small enough for you to…

WOW!!! So happy for you. I have just started my journey to health and weiht loss and hope that a year from now I can say that I am 100 pounds lighter. Thanks for posting the pics and sharing your thoughts. It really is an inspiration for those of us just getting started. :flowerforyou:

I love a challenge!! CW 280 Xmas 260 :bigsmile:

That's generally when I do mine too. I find that if I don't do it first thing in the morning I'm more likely to not exercise at all. By the time I get home at night and deal with kids, homework, dinner, bath time, bed time and then my own school work I'm just too wiped. Besides like you said, it energizes me for the day…

I feel your pain! I work a full-time job, go to school part-time and am raising my grandchildren who are 6 and 10. I have a great husband who is a tremendous help to me... BUT... I have found that the support and encouragement I get from other people here who are facing the same weight struggles as me keeps me going no…

I've just always used A&D ointment on any of mine and I've had no problems with scabbing or anything.

Take a close look at WHAT you're eating. Are you eating enough protein? I've found thru trial and error in many struggles with the scale that if I don't eat some sort of protein with every meal, then I'm really.. really hungry in between meals. Don't know if that will work for you but it has helped me. Hang in there and…

Would love to add you as a friend. I am 48 and a mother and grandmother looking to get back into shape to be able to enjoy my life! My ultimate goal would be to reach 150 pounds but I would be happy even at 160. So I have about 130 pounds total to reach my goal. So far I'm loving all the support I've found on MFP!!

Welcome!! I will send you a friend request.

21 pounds since June is fantastic!!! Slow and steady is the way to win this race. We are all here to help one another but if ever you just need someone to reach out to feel free to reach out right here. I am on here every day without fail and I know how hard this is. I too have tried every darn diet plan out there and have…

I agree... nicely defined is very sexy. Overly big like some of these body builders just is too much and isn't sexy anymore.

Strong muscular chest!! Just makes me wanna start there and let my fingers do the walking. ::Wink-Wink:: ::Nudge-Nudge::

I am 48 and am actually post-menopausal (uterine cancer and complete hysterectomy at age 40) so I know how hard it is to try and lose weight at this stage in our lives. I am on a journey to lose 130 pounds and am looking for all the help and support I can get, and am willing to lend a helping hand or supportive ear…

What is insanity workout? I just started a 6 week kickboxing class and am looking for something that will help keep me going when it's over.

Sounds like you have the right idea! It will be so important to be health when you get pregnant and by starting good habits now, you should be able to acrry those good habits thru your pregnancy as well. Feel free to add me if you like. I have a long journey myself and am always looking for support and motivation too. Good…
