Hello! I just joined as well and thank you everyone for the invite. I have been on MFP for several months now. I am slowly making the transition to becoming a healthier person. I have my good weeks and bad but I'm still going forward not backwards.

I'm out on this one but sounds like something I would love to try at some point. This time of year is too tight financially to make a commitment.

I have always been addicted to soda. Not the diet stuff Mt. Dew was my poison. Been drinking soda since I was a young kid and was so addicted I would wake up during the night and drink my dew. I could not stand water and would only drink it on the rare occasion in the summer heat when I would drink several sodas and could…

I like to use an egg and some crackers. Mix it up into patties and put it in the oven. My grandma always did this but fried them. I figure oven is a little healthier. Some also like a little salt on them but I will eat them without. I bet some onion or even minced onion would also be good in them.

Most say fruit is best for a snack but I also like to get the 100 calorie snacks. My most favorite but most expensive is fiber one brownies. I think a pack of 12 is almost $5. at walmart and they are 90 calories. Others I like in the $2.5 range are chips ahoy thin crisp, oreo thin crisp, Keebler chips deluxe cookies, and…

I had the same problem and after a week my knees were really killing me. I started doing the boxing in place of that for awhile. This week I went back to trying the jumping jacks and have not had as much problems. Hope that helps! Go ladies!!!!

I think this is similar to the cardio I love the most. I set the treadmill at 3.0 (I' m new at this) and walk 2 minutes then jog 2 minutes. I do this for 30 min and I love the workout I get!

same here and I am drinking about double if your counting 8oz glass. I hope at some point my bladder adjust cause I feel like a pregnant lady going pee all the time. :)

Mine is just over 1800 right now. For the most part I get as close to it without going over as I can. I also do not eat back exercise calories. I'm trying to work out at least 5 days a week.

:sad: disappointed

I used medical tape

I have 3 Great Danes. Hurricane, Molly (my foster failure), and my current foster Colt. I was taking them and adding the exercise but lately I haven't been logging it.

This!!!!! I was having issues until I found this one. The hardest part of this has been the jumping jacks for me but I do notice day 2 was easier than day 1 so I'm sure it will get better. Once this gets easy for me there is a Jillian Michael 30 day shred 2 and so on!

I can't wait! It is my favorite holiday. I do all the cooking including the pies. Everyone comes over and we all have a great time enjoying each others company! The only difference this year is I will be measuring and logging what I eat. I plan to eat all the things I like just in moderation. I will make this my so called…

You look absolutely amazing!Yes you deserve a party!

This is what I was going to say!

I don't want to loose mine. I know that I will loose some as I loose my weight. Most of us do but not all! Now what I would like to loose about them is the sag :)

lol even a free one!

greatdanebabies: I have 2, love them, and foster a 3rd. My 4 leg kids!

A lot of times I will have both up but I spend more time on MFP. I usually open MFP first and FB when I get around to it!

Thank you for the inspiration! This is what I needed. I have been doing some of the research and just upped my calories to 1800 tonight. I have been worried about doing that and gaining but from what I have read I think it will work. After your story, some inspiring words and info from someone else I'm sure it will work!

I have the top half of my back covered in ink. The outside is crying eyes with wings and a cross under them. This is on each shoulder. One side representing my adopted mom the other my adopted grandpa with first & middle names, DOB, and DOD. In the middle of the two is a banner that has my 2 kids first and middle names. My…

What she said. Jillian Michaels said something like this on one of her videos I was doing earlier.

I'll take a jack and coke please!

I have been feeling out of control. I'm not over eating yet but I am so close to giving up to a healthy way. I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. I have been exercising 6 days a week and since my first week nothing. Ya I'll grant you I'm only on week 3 but it feels like week 100. I also have been researching and spending…

Thanks I'm gonna try that next week!!! Sounds so good!

I am always over on protein. I love my meat but then everything else seems to have protein in it as well.

First off you look great! Second yes my grandmother was and well still is very mean like that. Growing up she would always say to others (of course I was in hearing range and could hear every word) she is too fat. Then in my 20's for the first time ever I got thin down to 125 pounds and she would tell people I looked sick…
