YES!!!

bump so i can read suggestions later

I'm reading The Thirteenth Tale, which is very entertaining. If you want more serious/heavy material, then I loved the memoirs Girl in a Green Sweater, Blue Nights, and Reading Lolita in Tehran. Jodi Picolt's stuff is always good to read. The Passage was supernatural/sci fi and really good, and I can't wait for the sequel…

Me me me!!! CW 196.4 GW 187

Another stalker but I'm trying to reform!! I think accountability is key in sticking with our lifestyle changes. I'll send you a friend invite. :flowerforyou:

Me too, and I'll add you! :) So much easier with friends on MFP.

That ish was hilarious!!!

I need all the support I can get! I'll add you...feel free to add me, too. :flowerforyou:

Having said this I would slap my grandmother in the face for a can of squirt cheese... [/quote] Buhahahahahahahahaha

^This^ All the men I know (and this is SOMETIMES a cultural difference) love a "thick" woman...Beyonce, J Lo, Kim Kardashian, etc. Round booty, thighs, etc. Boobs are optional. :wink: Also, "thick" girls can still be super athletic...they just have natural curves and will never have n'*kitten* at all/pancake butt. :tongue:

Oh my, I REALLY need help with this! When my littles are asleep and the TV is on, I just want some munchies to snack on. :embarassed: 6 pm is also too early for me, so I'll aim for no food after 8. Good tips for me so far have been to brush my teeth right after dinner!! Chug a bunch of water. Have tea (I like vanilla chai…

I'm on W10D3 of my Couch to 10K app by Heavy Duty apps. In the beginning, I just set up my phone on the treadmill and listened to music so I could get all my prompts from the app. Now that I'm running for a total of 50 minutes, I watch TV or movies on Netflix on my iPhone to keep me going. I watch my time on the treadmill…

^^^^^^ No negative self talk!! ^^^^^^ I can definitely see a difference and you're motivating me! :-) Keep it up.

I'm doing the program right now! I've tried and quit several times, but am sticking with it this time. You don't need anything other than what comes with your package (resistance band and DVDs), so I love that! Since I've been doing a Couch to 10K program, I only did the Start it Up video for about a week, and now I'm…

Do you have swelling? Is it only better during runs and right after? My first suggestion (given to me by a sports trainer) is to stretch like crazy every single day after your workouts. Look up some good stretching exercises for the ITB. If you take a week off from running and it gets better, then running is probably…

Wow!! Amazing motivation. Sent you a FR.

Quaker instant oatmeal (weight control) is my FAVORITE breakfast and it really does fill me up. I usually have a big dinner with protein, carbs, and veggies. Popcorn is also a great snack that will fill you up. Drinking a LOT of water and hot tea helps me a lot, too. And I work out to earn more calories. The beginning is…

I'd love to join!! I gained back all the weight I'd lost and I really want to get back on the right track. :-) CW 200....GW 160 (I'm 5'7")

Sounds perfect!! I'm back on the mpf bandwagon, after having fallen off. Current weight is 200 and 4 week goal weight is 190.

I'm in!!! I need to lose 40+ lbs and goals are great for me, too. :-)

bump for me

I'm actually doing a spiritual fast starting at 12 am Saturday for 3 days with some friends. I'll be doing the fruit diet with a TON of water just to detox and cleanse my body...with the added bonus of losing some weight during that time.

I'm going to send you a friend request. I just turned 31 and am a newly single mom of a 2 yr old and a 5 yr old. Whew!!

I'm sending you a friend request, too. :) You can do it!

I had the EXACT same issue today and yesterday!!! Had fast food, binged, ate too much, and didn't exercise yesterday. I feel bloated and gross. I wanted to hide my diary but kept it public. Tomorrow is a new day and I also LOVE seeing how little I would lose (or even gain) if I eat crappy every day. no more!!

Hello and welcome! I'm sending you a friend request. My tips are to plan your meals and snacks out so you're not starving and vulnerable to fast food!! Start working out and drink lots of water. Watch your sodium and you CAN do it!! Good luck. :)

Welcome!! This is a great site and super supportive. :) You can do it. I'm sending you a friend request.

Hi and welcome! The people here on MFP are so supportive and fantastic! :) I'm in Denver, Colorado in the States but I will definitely make it to Australia someday. You can add me as a friend if you like.

I've also struggled with clinical depression for YEARS!! I will admit, seeing the number on the scale go down and feeling proud of myself after a workout has been great. I've found myself wanting to exercise more, eat better (and less!!), and stop sleeping all the damn time. I know that if we all stay on path, eventually…

You just need to make sure you're eating enough calories for yourself and for nursing. I know that if you don't eat enough calories and are nursing, your body will be negatively impacted by that. I agree with the previous post by rfaice...I try to stick to 1200 calories a day and work out, but if I'm hungry I will eat more…
