When I gave up my diet pepsi I went for Green Tea.

Not sure how to post pictures, but we have a golden retriever and Australian shepherd! I love my Aussie, she was the first one, but since we brought our goldie home, I doubt I will ever own another breed again! I am trying to convince my hubby to let us get another goldie! :smile: but he is not having it, two dogs is…

Hi There! I hear ya! There is no rest for the momma!! I am a full time student, and have a 8 year old that is totally into all thing sports and 11 year old, well... she seems to be abducted by an alien recently... To all Mommas out there, feel free to add me! I try to be online daily, and I need to loose more than 100 lbs!…

I am so sorry! Try to concentrate on the positives in your life. Make sure that you do not have any high calorie foods, or wasted calorie foods in your house. Then get up and moving. I know that it is cold outside, but take your puppy for a walk or run. Go to a field and play fetch. Hugs and more hugs to anyone or to…

I think that stopping and evaluating where you are at is a first step. For me this helps re-motivate myself. I am kind of in the middle of doing that too. You have done an awesome job! Don't beat yourself up! You have had some changes, and then the holidays, it is understandable! I hear that you can find some cool videos…

That is awesome! What is ELLM ?

I love them! I have two, one on my ankle, that one was my first one. I did not put too much thought in it, it is just a flower anklet. My next one is a turtle with plumeria surrounding it. I love it!! It has a story to it. I have a few more lbs to loose and I am getting a third one either to add onto the anklet to add…

1. Do you have any, and if so, HOW many? 2. When did you get it/them? 3. What did you get? 4. Any regrets? I have 2. I got my first one about 10 years ago around my ankle. Then I got a turtle and Hawaiian flowers on my upper arm. Do I regret them? No, I love them! I am gearing up to get one on my inner wrist here in the…

This one question I am wondering myself. I have one on my upper arm and one on my ankle, and as a reward for my hard work my goal is a tattoo for every milestone I hit with my weight. I recently emailed a tattoo place and asked this very question. He said that my ankle tattoo should not really change. Not sure on my arm…

This is an excellent question! Last week I finally measured myself, but I don't quite have the guts to put the measurements on here. I measured around the largest part. Can't wait to start seeing inches lost here!!!! :happy:

For me, I had to build a specific time slot into my day and stick with it! I have tried different times of the day and somehow I have found fault with each one, except for one! I found excuses and there were times where I would just make excuses or talk myself out of going! So, when I finally made building a healthy…

I want to say thank you to everyone!!! I really appreciate all of your kind words and support! The best decision I ever made was 1. make the decision to start making healthier choices physically, and emotionally! The next choice was when I found out about MFP, that I actually signed up, and actually participating! You know…

Thank you, I don't have choc. in the house, because I am an impulse eater, but I just crave it so much when I get upset I guess. The reason why I say I can' t get to the gym is because I have been sick since Sunday, my daughter is sick too, and when I took her to the dr, we were told we were highly contagious. Besides that…

I guess I am really bad at stress eating as well... I am going back to school to get my AA, so I spend alot of time reading and studying and in the beginning it seems like I would eat my way through something without realizing I would eat it.. In times of emotional stress I would turn to food for comfort. So for me…

For me it is the elliptical. I was told by my orthopedic knee surgeon to use the elliptical. That for me, it would be easier on me knee injury, with proper form.. I love it! I have now gotten to the point that I increase the level every two minutes to level 15. However, now that I have given the green light from the my…

Sorry this was in response to Jeansummers post... I guess among my tears I did not hit quote. =)

Wow. this brought me to tears! I recently lost my dad, and I so miss the things I did with him! Great memories that you are building! I really admire that!

Wow! Awesome job! You are incredible! What a great example you are setting for your child! Keep it up!

I have two. Do they hurt.. well it really depends on your personal pain tolerance and where you get it. My arm one didn't it all, but my ankle one was a bit painful but when he got to the back of the ankle I was shaking with pain. Luckily it didn't last long. I am in the process of figuring out what the next one is going…

I had been telling myself to get serious at the gym for a year or so... was going to an all girl gym that had some circuit and then some classes. I was doing ok, but mainly maintaining. Then my dad, who had diabetes, and heart disease died suddenly. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to him! He was only 61 years old! The…

Thank you! So, I had wanted to reward myself every 25 - 50 lbs with a new tattoo, or add ons to what I already have. Maybe I better wait until I get to my goal weight? Next summer we are going to Maui. That is where I got my second tattoo, maybe that will be my goal instead.

I hear ya! I think I have only met my calorie goal only a couple of times! I am a student with my classes during the middle of the day, so with my work outs in the morning, and school between 1130 and 130 then kids after school, it seems like I miss lunch. I take little things to eat in class. So I often have like 800…

Awesome!! Great Job! Thank you for posting!

Wow!! exciting! Very inspiring! I am just beginning, 100+ lbs. Currently I am down 15 since Labor Day. So thank you for sharing!!! Very motivating.
