I am an ex-smoker myself. woofmang.com helped me. Don't know if it's allowed to mention another support group so sorry if this isn't allowed. I just know how tough it is and the support really helps.

That's awesome! Glad you're here!

Little victories add up to big victories!

Go Bears!!!!!

One more thing....is the deficit the net on your food diary?

Stiring thanks so much! I am actually glad that you were long winded. That was the best explanation I've heard thus far and I actually "got it". It has always been a little mathematical for me and language arts is much more my forte! :laugh: I do have 50-60 pounds at least...when I get there I'll know if I need more. The…

I hear ya! You can do this!

Welcome Everyone! So glad to have you!

Good morning everyone! I have a question. Last night I just zero'd out my calories because I was going out to dinner and didn't know what the calorie count was at the restaurant. I ordered grilled vege fajitas...no meat...no cheese so I don't think it was a high calorie meal but you never know how it was prepared. Anyway,…

Congrats to all who lost weight....especially Ladykatie....7.6 pounds?!?!?!? THAT'S SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laura I read your profile and you have such positive energy that I know you're going to do fantastic!!! I just joined this week too...so glad you're here!

I'm in!

Totally agree about the fuel thing. That is why we never have "junk" in the house and HFCS isn't in our house either. Like I said we eat pretty healthfully, and we treat ourselves from time to time. We just need to watch those amounts. I have three active kids but I can see that sadly my 8 yr. old could follow in my…

Cardigirl...thanks for the article. I will definitely read it. I have learned my lesson about under eating. About 2 years ago I lost about 30 pounds. The pic of my profile was at that time....I still had 30 to go. The only reason I use that pic is because I'd had computer issues and when I joined, it was the only one on my…

Weighing in Monday....saying a prayer! :laugh:

I haven't heard of antibiotics affecting a work out. If you feel OK...by all means exercise.

Well...three more days 'till my first weigh-in...I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Shelli - I am so sorry for all of the tragedy you're experienced. The fact that you're back here and ready to go is truly an inspiration for all of us.

Believe it or not i would kill for all the snow everyone is getting. I suppose that's sounds crazy since Chicago had so much of it for the last two years, but I figure if it snows, then maybe that's another opportunity for exercise. Going to Florida at the end of March and need all of the help I can get! :glasses: I also…

Thanks so much for the great welcome. Have tried to read every single post in this thread but am at work and running out of time :laugh: I will say though that you are all very motivating and I'm glad I found this spot here on MFP. I am going to weigh myself for the first time on Monday and am very nervous. I can exercise…

The Chobani brand is great...almost tastes like dessert. Also, it usually doesn't have high fructose corn syrup or artificial sugar in it.

I take a long hot bath. Usually I'm so relaxed afterward that I'm not hungry.

Good for you! I'm an ex-smoker too and I know how tough it can be. I gained when I quit too! This is a great place to be so welcome!

Chicago!

Thanks for the support. Yes I need to make those promises to myself. My number one priority has to be my health! I will do this the right way this time.

That is so awesome...how inspiring!

I think having people to help you along is the key. I quit smoking too and after many failed attempts, I used an online support group and never looked back. I'm hoping this site can do the same for my weight as well. Welcome aboard!

I really hope that this season is a group of serious losers rather than game players. I get how important money is, I could always us more myself...but losing all of my weight for me is worth more than any amount of money could buy.

This is great! So glad I found this!

Welcome! Best of luck!

Count me in!
