I don't weigh my food, or even measure it. In the VERY beginning of when I joined, I did measure out whatever the box said a serving was because I was curious. And sometimes I counted out exactly 21 chips or whatever the bag said. I think I did that for a few weeks until I felt like I was getting pretty good at eye-balling…

Are you going to a gym on a regular basis? If so, see if they can set up with a free session with a trainer to show you how to use the equipment. Most gyms also offer personal training sessions that you can pay extra for if that initial free one is not enough. If going to the gym is not an option and you have never done…

MrsG31 : 112 Up a bit from initial weigh-in, blaming in on Easter weekend!

Honestly, those cheesy commercials that talk about how to quit are right. You have to want to do it, seriously. If you are a serious then set a quit date. Don't annouce it to the world. Some people will try to be helpful, but really they are just making you feel bad. When your quit date comes make sure you have sugar-free…

Not if they have been your friend since you were all young & stupid together....and they just never grew out of it!

I agree - unless this is one of this "I didn't know I was pregnant" situations, most families have already had showers, and stocked up on what they will need when they get home. And if it is their 1st, they probably over-packed and already have a ton of stuff that has to go back down to the car. If my friend had a vaginal…

Aloe Blacc - The Man GREAT jam for working out!

Hi, don't have any pics to post here from work...not to mention last time I tried I couldn't figure it out. I'm just under 5'1" and about 110lb....but not "fit" or athletic. My weight has been fluctuating from about 109-113, depending TOM, sodium intake, etc. My weight tends to gather in my mid-section, so even at 110lbs I…

Only if it comes with a side of Jeremy Wade.

Oh....man those yeast rolls at Ryan's.....soooo goooodddd. So glad they shut that place down where I live, lol!

Bahahahahaha!

Q: How do you get an elephant off of a roof? A: Take the “r” out of grass and the “f” out of way. There is no f in way! (say it fast!) My sister told my dad that joke when she was around 8 or 9 years old. My dad laughed so hard, his face turned red and he was crying~

I caught a nasty cold/flu-like illness shortly after I joined a gym. I was too fatigued after a normal day of working and taking care of my kids to work out. Plus I didn't want to go spread my germs arounf the gym. I ate fairly normal, if not less than normal because some days I just wasn't very hungry. Drank lots of…

That is how I feel.....very strange....

right? I wonder what happened?

I am just gonna put my other 2 cents out there.... IN MY OPINION most people who consider themselves "naturally thin" are not going to be MFP members. (I am not counting the ED people on here trying to figure out how to not go over 500 cal a day!) People typically join MFP because they realize they need some help and…

I was "naturally thin" growing up...heck, I'll say it, I was skinny. I ate whatever the heck I wanted. When I went on my first date with my now husband, my own father told him to take me someplace that served a lot for the cost because I ate like a horse! But I also..... -had been taking dance since I was 10 and was up to…

ummmm....the creator of this group has deactivated their account!?? What on earth just happened??

Last text received: "Have u talked J abt Easter?" from my mom...yup she uses "shorthand/text speak"

Week 1 Day1 Challenge completed! Did wall push-outs for first set, than did knee push-ups...hubby says I didn't go low enough, lol. Then my kids tried to plank with me, so holding that 20 seconds while laughing was an extra core work out!

If your friend is like me, and many of women out there, than she's been fed countless images of skinny women and their teeny, tiny diets of water, salads, green smoothies, and tons of exercise. (cough, cough - celebrities come to mind!) And she probably felt overweight before and then you start eating for two, so after the…

Yes, I have. I dislike getting a request from someone without a note - like what thread you saw me on, or letting me know we in a group together and can relate to my same struggles and situations. And when they haven't filled out anything in the profile and send no note.....I usually do not accept.

I did not find this group until I was already at work, but a group of ladies at work happen to be starting a weight loss challenge today and brought a scale in. I borrowed it to check what I was.....my scale at home says I weigh less than this one does, lol. (isn't that frustrating?! The doctor's always says I weigh more…

Hi all! My name is Gretchen, 32 yrs old, wife, and mom to 2. I have been an MFP member for over a year now. Have seen success, but then slacked off and still never got to where I really wanted to be. I have been struggling with getting to the gym, but then also being lazy and putting in the work at home like I know I can.…

On the weekends, we often eat lunch at home. -Chicken nuggets with bbq sauce for dipping, a fruit, and maybe a sliced cucumber (or chopped in smaller pieces if he is still having issues with large pieces of food like that) -Sandwiches - my kids are big fans of Peanut Butter & Apple Butter with a little bit of honey, but…

I usually just hop on the eliptical for 10 minutes and have't had any issues with injuries- so if you biking to the gym, I think you are probably doing pretty good!

When I was working out at home, I would get up a little earlier than normal and do a work-out DVD, usually only about 20-30 minutes. I tried to take the kids on walks whenever possible. And at night after they were in bed, I would take small hand weights and do bicep curls, squats, dead lifts, tricep extensions, sit ups,…

So glad you enjoyed it! We love it - I have a serious affection for feta cheese, so how could I not love it?

I would be too, you have every right to be. Giving you a virtual hug! ((hug))
