Feel free to add me (anyone)! I could use a few more encouraging and motivating friends :happy:

w We could split it... would we give good advice or bad?

Don't bother...weight comes right back once you start eating normally. There are no quick fixes. Now, if you're looking for some way to throw your money away...well, still don't do it, just send me the $40 or whatever it is now :tongue:

Tapatio...buy it by the jug, put it on EVERYTHING!

I wouldn't keep my phone in my bra...but not for this reason... my aunt used to tuck her phone in her bra if she didn't have pockets, one time the phone overheated and her bra caught on fire! She was ok, but yeah....phones don't belong in your bra.

These are what I use too... just throw them in the wash and they shrink back up!

If it's liquid, a cup is 8 fluid oz.... you probably should consider picking up a cheap set of measuring cups/spoons... ive seen them at biglots for a couple bucks. Liquid and dry ingredients get measured differently... Something like this would be for dry:…

Kiss (I tried to rotate...I'm challenged)

Hippy (sorry)

Abs

^^^THIS! I've started and stopped my journey so many times...I feel like at this point, if I made the big FB announcement, everyone would either blow it off or be waiting for me to fail again. Nope, this isn't for THEM, it's for ME! I have the support of my husband and a few choice friends/family members and that's all I…

Wow...I cant even wrap my head around this... weigh yourself first thing tomorrow morning (after you use the bathroom) that is your starting weight...then do that again every Wednesday...it's not so complicated

It's pretty much a guessing game anyway... On the treadmills at my gym, if you hit "manual" (why doesn't that look right?) It will ask you to enter your weight...I noticed when I do it that way it's closer to what mfp says

We don't normally do a big Easter dinner...my mom's coming for the weekend and my aunt and uncle might come by... We're gonna grill burger's, I got some of those thin buns and tomoatoes, onions and lettuce we talked about potato salad...I'm gonna look for a healthy-ish way to make it (I hate mayonnaise anyway) Maybe a…

Fruits and veggies must be evil foods then...best to steer clear! Only meat and bread for you!

Why not start with BW since it's free?

Feel free to add me if you'd like :) I haven't lost a lot (yet) but ive been reading a lot on here and basically what I've learner about sagging is 1) you cant spot reduce 2) a gradual loss (1-2 lbs/week) will help keep things "tight" 3) sometimes, depending on how big you are and how long you've been overweight, there's…

My wedding rings don't fit anymore :( I thought it was from being pregnant and "puffy" but I lost all the baby weight within 3 months and now we're approaching 11 months and they still don't fit! Also, I have a closet full of clothes that I'd love to wear again...I donated a whole bunch of stuff before we moved in Jan. but…

I tend to leave it at the store...not a fan of canned fish... :sick:

I don't know if Disney World has the same stuff... but at Disneyland most of the snack vendors offer some healthy choices like apples, oranges, trail mix, etc. I don't know about the restaurants (it's been a couple years) but I'm pretty sure a lot of them offer things like a side salad instead of fries... They allow…

If you're fixing a healthy dinner at night, box up a serving in some tupperware (or whatever) and take that for lunch instead of those frozen meals. I know they're better than other frozen meals but they tend to be small portions and have tons of sodium.

I was wondering about this too...haven't seen TOM since I started working out (of course its due to come this weekend, when I'll be on a trip to visit the in-laws...ugh) I'm really hoping that being more active will reduce my cramping... I never had bad cramps before having my baby, and it's been lasting a couple days…

I found that I was pretty close, but I'm still trying to cut back...70cals per cup of coffee is no good (I know it could be a lot worse *cough*starbucks)...I only usually drink one cup in the morning... I used to like it black...trying to re-aquire that taste.

Hang in there...you've lost a lot so far, maybe you've hit a plateau and need to switch things up a bit...

I'm with y'all on the bacon and cheese. I used to do turkey bacon (it tastes ok, not like the real thing) but it still has tons of sodium for only a few calories less...I get reduced sodium pork bacon, tastes like bacon should taste. And with cheese (and ice cream, sour cream, etc.) I'd rather have a smaller serving of a…

Thank you. My husband and I pay rent to her (enough to cover utilities, her house is payed for) and we buy our share of food. I do most of the cooking because I love to cook and I feel like gma has taken care of so many people over the years and it's time someone took care of her. Being a somewhat picky eater (not nearly…

I do love my grandma, she's provided a home for me on more than one occasion growing up, and this was always a safe place for me while my parents were going through divorce...I just never noticed all the little comments she makes, and if I had I probably wouldn't have done anything about it.

Thank you all...I know this is a long road that I'm on. I'm glad that I can come here for support. Tomorrow is a new day (and maybe ill actually track my food...I haven't really for.the past couple days... been eating ok, just not tracking) and hopefully this rain will stop so I can take the kid outside to play :smile:

I don't feel sorry...I just wish they didn't have to make a big deal... P.S.- I love to crochet also! I need to get back into it...busy hands can't shove food in this face. :)
