Hi all! Thanks for joining me! So I don't think I'm looking to do a weekly weigh in or anything like that, but more just a general support of what we want to work on weekly and then discuss any struggles or tips! On the 14th I think we should post a mini goal for how much we want to lose by Valentines Day, and then what…

Obviously what people really need varies person to person. I was having a tough time with 1200/day so I readjusted how much I wanted to lose from 2 lb a week to 1.5 lb a week and my calorie allowance went up. 1.5 a week is still a great loss! I was feeling hungry all the time, like you, so I'd cheat to feel fuller and not…

Thanks! I think one thing I really want to work on this week is recording everything--everyday--in my food journal. How about you?

MFP is definitely a great way to realize exactly what you're putting into your body. Welcome!!

Oatmeal bread? With super chunk peanut butter. yum

@ishallnotwant i have i cant believe its not butter spray so i figured i would use that to make whatever stick. But thanks to everyone for the suggestions!

Dear "Friend" I'm sorry you think I owe you because you drive me to the bar. You're the one who wanted to go out last night. Next time, go to the bar by your friggen self.

I'm 5'6" and at my heaviest I was about 190. I lost some weight and then gained it back, so I'm at the low 180s right now. I'd love to get back to 135, like I was in high school

i climbed a volcano in El Salvador. I also have the worst guilt complex of anyone I've ever met.

i saw this in a hg email the other day and deleted it by accident! thanks for sharing!

bedsider.org is a good way to compare different kinds of bc

i want to get a belly button ring, too i really want one but i'm too embaressed to get one now

the shea cashmere line from bath and body works. all of it.

it sucks. it really really does. i was with my ex-boyfriend for four years when he dumped me... in an email. i always hated when people told me "well at least you didnt get married" because to me the break up was just as devestating as a divorce would have been. but i don't regret being with him for those four years. i…

i've loved working at a pre-k in an integrated classroom with kids with special needs, including kids on the autism spectrum. It can be really hard sometimes to engage them and keep them on track, but being able to see the progress they made was one of the most rewarding things i've ever experienced.

Online dating has left me with a few gems. I was living in Charlotte, NC at the time and a guy wanted to come pick me up at my apartment, drive me to his place in SC where we would get drunk in the hot tub and then I could stay the night in one of his guest rooms. Needless to say, I declined. He refused to meet me in…

i always hate it when someone gets on a machine next to me and reeks of cigarettes. I know it's an addiction and there choice and blah blah blah but it makes me feel sick and i always end up cutting my workout short to get away from them.

as soon i read the topic name i knew this was all going to hell hahah

I have a boston accent at times. :) My dad's from southie and my mom's from revere so it usually comes out when i'm more relaxed (read: drinking or tired) or when I'm around family. When I lived in NC people were always so upset that I didn't speak with a Boston accent when they found out I was from MA.

As nice as I'm sure the lovey-dovey parts are, I think you need to tell him to knock it off. It's not fair to you if he's just playing around -- especially as you've discussed before how it makes you confused. He needs to be consistent with you one way or another.

Hey all- weighed in at 186.8 this morning, so up a bit but it's fine. So my burn goal for the next week is 1870!

Tea doesn't have any calories if you don't add anything to it, so people will count it towards their water intake. Be careful, though, because caffeine can dehydrate you.

my ex-boyfriends cousin's last name was hyphenated. Eaton-Koch.

if you have to ask, the answer is probably yes.

When I was living in London I was wicked craving mac and cheese and when my (now) ex and I got into a fight he went to a food store that had some american imports and bought me three boxes of macaroni and cheese. he knew me so well.

I managed to walk the four miles back after my interview but my legs are killing me so I'm waiting til tomorrow to catch up on C25K.

the swan boats, faniuel hall, and quincy market.

So I have three interviews today (thank GAWD) at one company that isn't too far away from my apartment. I'm thinking about bringing a change of clothes and walking back (it's a bit more than an hour) and then I have W1D2 of C25K tonight :) I'm loving everyone's updates and you're all doing great. I'm still trying to get…

MFP was about 150-200 cal lower than AT, and the treadmill at the gym doesn't have a cal counter (or a timer?) so i dont know what that was. I really need a HRM.
