I love real butter!

Anyone can add me. I love to help and be helped!

I have tried counting calories and trying to justify eating unhealthy as long as it fits. I was very successful last year until I got sick and just backed off. I had the lingering flu for over a month and I could only keep down crackers and sprite. And once better I never went back. Now I am back and I am going to make it…

I found the best diet Tea. It is so good. It is Gold Peak diet iced tea. I find it in the tea and juice sections at the store. It tastes just as good as regular ice tea. I love it. It is pricy but it gives me the sweat taste I am looking for.

I am totally with you. If I eat like crap all my friends are like. Well done staying under your calorie goal. Well yeah if I ate 1200 calories in twinkies. No really I don't like twinkies. I like junk and pop though so I need you all to come kick my *kitten* as I will do the same.

I didn't have friends on here when I first started but now I try to keep my friends list around 80. I only keep people that are serious about weight loss and are using this site for just that. If I have friends on my list that haven't logged in for 30 days I delete them (unless its family or a close friend I know…

Please don't feel bad. I can't tell you how many times I have done this over and over again since I have been on MFP. I lost almost 20lbs and was excited, got sick and never got back into the swing of things. I have been at a steady weight and now have lost 4lbs and that is after coming back from vacation. You can do this.…

I would like to lose 20 but with my tract record that will be adding 20. I have gained 20lbs this year. Next years goal is to lose 50lbs. I am going to do this.

I am in. I am doing my first 1/2 marathon this month. I know I can do this. I just always quite running/walking all the time. I would love to get over 50 miles this month. I have a 25k in May to train for so this would keep me on tract.

I am in. I need to be held accountable. I gained 5lbs last month after I lost 6. CW: 174.2 GW: 160 Weigh in Dates: 09/30: 174.2 10/7 10/14 10/21 10/27 End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use) Total weight lost: I always weigh in on Mondays so I can try to keep on tract for the weekends. (Doesn't seem to always work…

Love it all. I need so many new songs. I have been reading to put songs you like to jam to into your ipod and only listen to them when you work out. That way it MAKES you want to work out.

Thanks everyone. You have giving a lot of different advice. It helps so much to see that others have been where I am and how they have pushed through. I try to run with my hubby. Infact we have 1/2 marathon to do together in October. I hate running by myself because I can so talk myself into a break to walk so I want to…

I am training for 1/2 marathon in October and a 25k in May. Feel free to add me.

I look at MFP as a lifestyle. Once I lose my weight I plan on being on here afterwards to encourage and keep myself in check. I have started and restarted so many times and I have gained 20lbs in the last year. I have 3 teenage kids and a husband. It seems that with sports, school activities and work I never find time for…

I have a desk job and 3 teenage kids, 3 dogs a cat and a huband. PURE zoo at my house. I can't exercise everyday and it get hard to watch what I eat at times, but I have been making it a point to try to get up earlier and earlier everyday. Some days I can get up to get a 3-4 mile run in some days I get up just to have…

Feel free to add me. I log in every day and I tend to keep and up beat and positive attitude on here. I am here~

Feel free to add me. I am on every day.

That is my advice as well. You need to reseach your calorie intake. Sometimes if you take in too low of calories you will not lose any weight because your body starves itself. You can find so many weight loss caculators on the internet to help you. They have me at 1200 a day but there is no way I can eat low of calories. I…

I have been exactly where you are. I have lost count on how many times I have done a DO-OVER. But the same is with me. I have been asked last month to be the maid of honor in my best friends wedding next September and I have gained 35lbs since my wedding 2 years ago. I want to be hot in her wedding and I want my husband to…

I have been there too. But I have been on here for over 275 days. Feel free to add me. I go through my friends list and try to hit on everyone walls at least once a week. I might not get to comment as much on activities as I would like to everyday (3 teenages, 1 husband, 3 dogs and a cat, and working 2 part-time jobs with…

I turned 40 in Januray and the last 3 years I have gained 40lbs. I have asked my dr and he says it is age and slow metabolism. I refuse to believe that. I keep trying and I can't lose but I am not going to give up. I will not be this heavy at age 41. :cry:

Is anyone else keeping their diet/exercise a secret? [/quote] I would like to but he can see everything I do. He is on my friends list here. He tries to wake me up and work out in the morning and I would love to workout with him but he is mean when we workout together and then by the time I get home and have to deal with…

I am here as well. If you need support you can add me as a friend. I have been trying to do this and have failed many of times. I just don't know why I can't seem to do this. I quite smoking cold turkey Feb 1 2000. Don't you think that I could do this? Maybe I have to remind myself of that. You can't have too many friends…

I am in: SW: 167 CW:163 GW: 149 Weigh in Dates: 5/1 163 5/8 5/15 5/22 5/28 This month I am going to get up to 10 miles a day rollerblading more than 2 days a week and I am going to try to get up to 6-8 miles a day for running. 4-5 times a week. I have two 1/2 marathons I want to do, one in Sept and one in Oct. My ultimate…

Anyone can add me. I need sassy friends. Ones that look at my diary and then yells at me for eating that cupcake. LOL. I love to motivate people as I like the motivation. It does help when I can see someone kicking butt and yet I am sitting my fat a@# on the couch feeling sorry for myself.

Yes WTG made me lose 20lbs. It is just something about the W. :laugh: :laugh:

You can add me. I love having friends. I have been very supportive at times but my kids have slowed me down, but I am back and I want the support and want to give tons a support back.

I try to eat 5-6 times a day. I have a desk job so in order for me not to snack on crappy foods, I make small mini meals. It keeps my hunger down. Plus I have very low calorie foods in my desk if I feel the need to eat more. If I do then I HAVE to workout to make up for it. I never eat all my workout calories either. It is…

I am totally in. Anyone can add me. Just let me know what I need to do. I would like to lose 10lbs. I have a Mexico trip I need to get ready for in June.
