As a parent and a teacher I TOTALLY agree with you if your child is 7 and up. Unfortunately being a teacher has shed light on why some schools do what they do. We have had many parents turn around and sue the district for "endangering their child". The school system has turned into a place for law suites now and it is sad…

Just know you are NOT alone! I am struggling with the same eating issue but will continue on this journey. It took me 9 years to gain all this weight and I recognize it will take me a while to loss it. Good Luck!

It's really hard to tell you if you have heartburn or gall stones. I just had my gall bladder removed 3 weeks ago today. I didn't have heartburn at all. I had intense pain on my right side under my boob and upper abdomen. I know after eating really well and low fat for weeks and then cheat I would wake up with pain,…

I bought a pair of men's tight running shorts at REI. They are made with a spandex of some sort and have pockets along the legs and at your lower back. They are nice and tight ( but don't look like bike shorts) to keep my belly in tight when I run and they don't ride up my thighs! I had both problems, belly and thighs but…

It is a great site! Enjoy your families new found life and have fun!

I have had a Body Bugg for 3 years now and really like it. The armband does not keep track of your calories, you have to log your food just like you do on MFP. The armband calculates the calories you burn all day as long as you wear the band. I personally did not like the website for tracking food so I used MFP to track my…

BUDGET CUTS!!!!! I just want to do my job and teach kids!

It is hard and yes you're angry at yourself for gaining the weight BUT you have to find it in yourself to accept where you're at and move forward. Life is all about ups and downs, things we can't control, and things we can control. Your health is something you can control so get excited and take control. Move forward with…

My BodyBugg! I love that thing!

That is what the website and the packaging states. It is pretty accurate. My husband did extensive research on it before we spent a pretty penny on it and it was noted as being pretty accurate, the most accurate thing around. I love mine and will not stop wearing it. I've also had some ex-trainers now PE teachers recommend…

I'm not an expert but I am using the BodyBugg and MFP also. The first week I was getting so frustrated. I have learned that the BodyBugg measures your total calorie burn throughout the day including workouts. MFP estimates what your calorie burn SHOULD be based on your height, weight, etc. and the exercise you log. I now…

My husband and I have done this since December 13th and it has saved us so much money!!! It isn't really too hard, just requires more planning on my part. It is well worth it and I don't crave it anymore.

I actually went to see my doctor yesterday and this question came up. My doctor advised me to add 500 calories to my 1800 calorie diet and to drink LOTS of water. My daughter is 3 months old and I haven't had a problem with my milk production.

The joys of being a teacher!!! Thanks for posting.

I was feeling the same way this morning!!!! I weighed in last Friday at 306 and I got on the scale yesterday and it said 307!!! I have been under my calories all week and worked out everyday so how could this be! I had to regain focus and remember that it isn't the number on the scale but the fact that I am feeling better,…

Thank you for he post! It was just the thing I needed to read since I return to work tomorrow after 11 weeks off. I'm nervous about losing my work out time but will make it a part of schedule!

I just found this one on New Years Day!!! The moment of enlightenment is when a person's dreams of possibilities become images of probabilities." – Vic Braden

I made chicken noodle soup the other day and I used the recipe builder. You enter all ingredients and servings and it tells you how many calories per serving.

I'm clapping for you right now! You look great and have such a great attitude!

The lies I told myself have gotten me to 300+!!! Not to mention my laziness! My lies: *I'm big boned *I've always been a big girl *I get enough exercise walking across the college campus *I'm too busy with school or work *A fast food burger, 1/2 the fries and a small coke is healthy for me when I'm on the run, as long as…

I really enjoy yoga! I have found that it makes your body and mind feel good. Also, I bought a DVD Crunch Gym's Prenatal Yoga. Which I did while I was pregnant and felt really good during and after the workout. The least you can do is try it for a few classes and see how it fits you! Good luck!

Thank you for sharing!!!! It's such an inspiration to tead this and see you ticker!!!! THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

Thanks for the info!!! I've been dying to try Zumba!!!!

I have been using the death of my twins as an excuse for 7 years now. I have gone up and up in weight and have been 290-315 for about 4 years now. I have had 3 babies since I lost my Boys but I am ready now to lose the weight. I wish you luck as you start on your journey and wish you luck in dealing with the lose of your…

My New Years Resolution is to LOSE WEIGHT!!! I just had my 6th baby and I need to lose 146 pounds. That's a lot of weight but I have no choice but to lose it. So my resolution is as follows: 1. Start eating right and tracking 2. Start working out for at least 30 mins 5 days a week 3. Continue working on my mental and…

Hi! I am a mother of 6 (4 angels here on earth and 2 in heaven). I am starting my lifestyle change today because I need to get healthy. I am ready to change for a longer life, for my beautiful children, for my loving husband and because I'm tired of feeling fat, ugly, and tired. I am better than this and it's time my…
