Congratulations on such a great accomplishment!!

I agree 100% with this!! Burn some calories having FUN!!

My pregnancy was as easy as it gets, if you don't count the diabetes. I was told that my sugar HAD to be 130 one hour after eating, so it was. Problem was, my insulin was active for at least three hours, so I would be crashing about two hours after eating, but not hungry for a snack to bring my sugar back up. Two trips to…

Are you having many lows? I know that I found with lots of exercise, that I was going overboard on my calories because I was constantly having to cover lows.

I have made a new year's resolution every year for the past eight years to "lose weight". No plan, no goal, no anything. This year, I saw a friend on New Year's Day who had lost 45 pounds through MFP and LIFESTYLE changes. Not a diet. She looked amazing. I had 8 months and 19 days from that day before I turned 40. I was 45…

I've been Type 1 for the past 38 years. I'll be 40 this year, with a 3 year old. I've been on a Medtronic Paradigm pump for the past 8 years and I would never go back. It gives me so much freedom to do what I went when I want and eat anything I want. As a result, I put on about 40 pounds. Now, I'm working to lose that…

Thanks for sharing!!

I saw a post on Pinterest where they peeled the cucumber and cut it in half lengthwise then used it as "bread" for a tuna sandwich. It's on my list of things to try.

I turn 40 in September. I joined MFP in January with the intention of losing 40 pounds by my birthday.....I've been really struggling these last few months. I have bounced back and forth between 12 - 14 pounds lost, but can't get past that. I'm currently looking at losing 25 pounds in 4 months. I would love some help…

Thank you so much for sharing!!

Have you tried the sandwich thins bread? I sometimes cheat with 1.5 servings of peanut butter but only one piece of bread or use bread with fewer calories.

When I was getting fit for my wedding 6 years ago, I walked up 13 floors of stairs in the morning, down at lunch, up after lunch and then down at the end of the day. I got to be in VERY good shape with this. It can pay off, but you need to do enough of it to add up (probably more than 5 minutes.) Don't be afraid to go up…

I am in. I have Zumba for the Wii. I've yet to play, but this is a good reason to start!!

I would love to join! Please send me an invite!

I was having lots of problems with weekends when I first started. I was doing great during the week but couldn't maintain the intake portion on the weekends. I stopped eating back all of my exercise calories during the week, that way I could go over some on the weekend and still be under for the week.

I am a 39 year mom of a three year old boy. I work full time outside the house, Monday through Friday. My husband is usually gone very early in the morning, so going to the gym in the morning is not an option unless I want to wake up my son and drag him to the gym at 5:30AM. No thanks!! I am too tired to go in the evening,…
