Bump!

I'm in!!! SW April 1: 255 GW May 1: 245 I've lost 20 and seem to be at a plateau...hoping the scale starts moving again soon!!

That's an incredible change!! Awesome job...keep it up, girl!!

Not off the top of my head but check out skinnytaste.com! Amazing, yummy, lowfat recipes for everything from main dishes to dessert! :smile:

Bacardi / diet coke is 65 calories per drink...a lot better than beer or anything mixed with juice! :drinker:

Feel free to add me! I love the motivation MFP friends give me!!

Give it a try!! I started going once a week a couple months ago and I LOVE it!! Don't worry if you can't keep up or don't have rythym...just keep moving! It's a great workout! And remember...nobody is watching you...they all have their eyes on the instructor. Good luck! :smile:

I hear ya! MFP has been a great tool for me so far! Be honest and log everything! I only gained 21 pounds when I was pregnant with my son (although I was way too heavy to start) and I lost it all 8 weeks postpardum but I gained it all back...pretty sure it was just due to the lifestyle change and maybe some PPD. 2-1/2…

I think it's whatever you're comfortable with. When I started MFP I set my goal at 50 lbs. knowing that I need to lose more. As I have lost I upped it to 75 lbs. but I'm sure the closer I get to that I will up it again. For me it's discouraging looking at the big #'s...as soon as I see them I wonder how long it's going to…

I have alot of weight to lose also...feel free to add me! I love the motivation & support from my MFP pals! :happy:

I have a long way to go myself but my MFP friends are a great motivation...add me girl!! Now's a great time to start...good luck on your weight loss journey!

Add me! I'm Christian...and my husband is a Baptist preacher finishing up his schooling. With an amazing 2-1/2 year old. And I work...4 days a week...so not full-time but I could use some motivational support!!

Feel free to add me as well! I love the motivation I get from MFP friends!! Hope you're having a great weekend! :smile:

I had the same thing happen to me last month. I started watching what I was eating and exercising the end of January and my period was due February 11...I didn't get it until March 3. I guess the major changes I was making affected my cycle as well. I'm hoping it regulates itself after a few months though.

Thanks for all the input! I've decided not to log them and just consider it an "extra burn" for the day. Have a fabulous weekend everyone!!

Thanks! Sounds delicious! :happy:

You're doing awesome!! You can definately see the changes...and after just 4 weeks! I think that's pretty amazing! Keep up the good work, good luck on the second half of your journey!

I weigh in Friday mornings as well. I work so hard all week at keeping under my calorie goal and exercising every day so when it comes to Saturday and Sunday I still try stay under my goal but if I need to rest a day I pick either Saturday or Sunday to take it easy.

Feel free to add me as well! I love all the motivating/accountability that my MFP friends provide!! =)

Welcome! I'm from Iowa also! I love MFP...good luck to you!

I have PCOS and am trying to lose weight and get healthy o hopefully have baby #2. My son was a total surprise and a blessing... he's 2-1/2 now. Before I got pregnant with him I was told that it was unlikely that I could have children. Don't give up hope! Add me as a friend and we can motivate eachother!!

I would have sent it back...especially if the service was bad to begin with. I used to waitress and sometimes people just have "off" days but you should have at least gotten the meal that you ordered. What's done is done though...take it with a grain of salt and move on. Next time, stick up for yourself!

I'm in the same boat...I need to lose some weight so we can get pregnant with #2. I never thought I was able to conceive at all (I have polycystic ovarian syndrome) so baby #1 was a big surprise. Now having to deal with the weight and the PCOS is hard but I'm taking it a day at a time. Feel free to add me as a friend and…

It's great that you've lost 30!!! Keep up with it girl...I know how hard it is. I was down to my pre-pregnancy weight 8 wks after I had my baby and over a year gained another 20 lbs. Since joining MFP I'm have 2 pounds to go to get to my pre-pregnancy weight and my son is 2-1/2. Not to mention I still have a ton of weight…

I've been eating right and exercising for 6 weeks now and I still get the "I want to eat more" feeling sometimes. I have found that it's usually more of an emotional thing for me though...if I'm having a bad day, I want to eat...if I'm sad, I want to eat...not eat to feel satisfied but to make me feel "better." Make sure…

Sounds yummy! I'm gonna have to try it! Thanks! :)

I would be totally happy with a 12 or 14...I've always been a bigger girl and I'm good with that! :wink:

You're doing GREAT so far!! Good job, girl!
