:flowerforyou: Thanks for the great post!

I wouldn't doubt it if you did burn that many! Just to be safe though I wouldn't eat it all back just in case! Good luck with the move!

Here here!!!!:drinker:

Chocolate is a terrible thing to waist ummm I mean waste! I bet they were all on a diet!

:flowerforyou: Yep, happened to me a couple of weekends ago. My husband and I decided to have a "fry day". We deep fried just about everything we had in the house, potatoes, onions, fish, cheese, twinkies, you name it if it was in the house we fried it! We ate as we were frying, but really not that much in the scheme of…

Congratulations!!!!! That is just awesome! I am so glad you have hope again and not only has your body lightened up but it sounds like your spirit has too and that is just amazing!!!! You deserve to give yourself a great big pat on the back and an extra squeeze of lemon in your water!!!! :wink: You are an inspiration to…

No you are not failing! You just have to keep going and the weight will come off! I have been stuck at 26 pounds for what seems like forever now, but I know that there is something that I am not doing right and once I figure that out the pounds will start to come off again! We just have to keep trying and eat healthy,…

WoooHooo!!! Way to go! We are all so proud of your sucess, keep up the good work!!! Hugs!:flowerforyou:

Thanks! bump

Welcome and congratulations on the new addition to your family! I think it's awesome that you want to get healthy for your kids, you have a lot of fun ahead of you and you want to be able to enjoy it! You have found a great site to help with your journey. I wish there had been someplace like this for me when I was your…

I think it's because it's hard to eat "good" and get that many calories. If you are not eating bread (like I am), a sandwich is out, so the calorie count goes way down without it. We eat alot, but not calorie dense food, so it's hard to be able to eat enough to reach our calorie goal because we are full. At least that's…

Bump!

Can't wait to watch it either! Wish he would come to my town, we'd make sure he was welcomed!:flowerforyou: The way they treated him last week made me mad too!

Thanks! Bump

Welcome! This is a great site, you will love it even more as time goes on! I applaud you for getting your daughter involved before she gets too far into an unhealthy lifestyle. Calling her meals "healthy" and not "diet" is also very good parenting on your part, so many young girls have such a bad self image these days with…

I am certainly no expert, but I would think whenever you feel comfortable enough after you eat would be ok. I love to take a walk after a big family dinner while everyone else sleeps, but that's just me! Now I don't mean power walking after a big meal, just a stroll LOL!!! Any exercise any time you can get it has got to be…

Me too! I HATE scrubbing pans with baked on crud on them and reynolds wrap saves me from having to do that!

Being involved here is the best motivation you can have. I too have struggled all my life with weight, all the time alone (even with family around, it was a solitary journey). When I first joined MFP I only intended to use the tools, not really get involved with any postings or other people, but then I started reading some…

I LOVE it!!! Wish I could think that fast on my feet! What a perfect comeback!

Yum! Sounds good! Thanks for the tip!

I saute a few mushroom pieces in a skillet while I chop up some spinach and measure 3/4 cup of egg whites. I add the spinach and the egg whites to the mushrooms and scramble. When done I top with at sprinkle of sea salt and some 2% Mexican blend grated cheese. Really filling and around 156 cal, low carb and low fat. Keeps…

Welcome! You have found the BEST place for motivation and support, there are so many great people here, you can't help but feel surrounded by good wishes and support. Good luck on your journey and again WELCOME!!! Hugs:flowerforyou:

Welcome! Hopefully we are all getting there! It can be a slow process sometimes, but at least if we are eating healthy we know the weight will stay off! Good luck on your journey, you have found a great place for motivation and support! Hugs:flowerforyou:

Welcome back! Glad your feeling better and ready to stay healthy!! You can do it, I KNOW you can!!! Hugs:flowerforyou:

WOOOOHOOOO!!! You going out to get some new clothes today?!? You should, you deserve it!!!:flowerforyou:

Good luck with your new start! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Hugs:flowerforyou:

Congratulations!!! We all started with that first day! You CAN and you WILL find the time to be healthy, the alternative is to terrible to even think about. Stick with it, keep at it, start again when you fall down, you will succeed. We are all here for you! Hugs:flowerforyou:

Been there too. I did log it, watched my ticker go the wrong way and had a really bad day! But, I drank 20 gallons of water :drinker: and the next week the weight was back off. It's a curse we women have, water just loves us and wants to hang around and watch us cry when we get on the scales. Don't give up, be pissy (it's…

I don't know if you will gain the weight back or not, I just wanted you to know that I wish you well. Once your surgery and recovery is over come back to MFP and stay on track to be healthy for the rest of your life! Hugs :flowerforyou:

Welcome! You have found a great place for support and encouragement! I too have lost weight before (I think I've lost my body weight 2 or 3 times, I should be invisible!!!:laugh:) But I've never made a lifestyle change before and that is what I am doing this time. No going back!!! We can do this and make it last this time!…
