Thanks Ladies!! Back at ya :)

Cool!

You can do it Patricia! We are here now and will be once that beautiful baby is born :)

You have to start somewhere!!!! Way to go :happy:

I have the Nike+ and LOVE IT! Would never walk or run again without it! I invested in a pair of the shoes as well from the Livestrong line and have NOT been disappointed!

Buy the ranch dry packets and make the dressing recipe on the back with fat free mayo and skim milk!

Try to eat as many of them as you can.....it works best this way. You have earned them and your caloric intake number is already set with a deficit.

Check your daily activity level - maybe you put the equivalent of running a marathon everyday ;) Mine is sedentary as I sit at a desk ALL day!

I smash any flavor of reduced fat pringles....you can get pretty creative with what's available!!!

Depending on when you started this new routine, will be the key. You are putting your body in shock and probalby drastically changing your lifestyle. You may have spent ten or twenty years living a certain way and have now done a 180! When you put your body and metabolism through such a drastic change - you will see weight…

So just shy of one cup :wink:

Picture this - the majority of babies take around NINE months to grow from nothing to 7 or 8 lbs. Imagine how much you can lose in NINE months?!?! Way more than 7 or 8 lbs!!! I was losing weight last year and someone I worked with was pregnant. Even though I was on a journey as well, her time seemed to FLY to me. I feel…

I asked becuase I run three- four miles easliy outside in 30-40 min BUT I can't stand the treadmill. Even with TV, Music, anything! I find it much harder to run inside/treadmill...but that all depends on the weather in Michigan, where I am from. Might give a little bounce to your step if you tried outsided- seeing how you…

Are you running indoors or outdoors?

Welcome:flowerforyou:

I was on this weight loss journey alone 1/1/09-12/31/09 and for the first day of 2010 I started using fitness pal...it is WONDERFUL!!!! Has pumped everything I already did up about ten notches!!! :happy: Good Luck!

Hey Isabelle - I keep a jar of those red/white peppermint hard candies around. After dinner if I grab one of those to suck on...it "most of the time" curbs my after dinner sweet craving. I swear each one of my teeth are "sweet teeth". hahah!

You can do it! Welcome :smile:

Thanks...I am confused, becuase you have to earn SOME fat/sugar/sodium back right? ( Along with those exercise calories)...or am I way off? :tongue:

Kerry...we can do this!!!! Stick to it! The eating thing has been tough for me too :) I have MFP up all day at my work computer and all day at home, so the SECOND I put something in my mouth I run to type it in. Constantly seeing the numbers add up is great motivation. I find waiting until the end of the day to enter it in…

Going shopping to buy new clothes and finding out that you need the next size smaller!

Terry this system is great! I started "watching" what I eat and exercising January 1st, 2009. As of last Monday ( a week ago today) I started using MFP. From 1/1/09 I have lost around 30 lbs and def hit my plateau for the past 6 or 8 weeks. HELLO Holidays ;) When I weighed in today I had lost THREE lbs from my first weigh…
