  • Coming from a wife who has a husband who is smaller than her. Insecurity can be a dangerous thing. When your husband starts looking good (or looks good) you are always thinking about him not being interested in you anymore and possibly becoming unfaithful. My husband tells me everyday that he loves me no matter what size.…
  • I tried the online WW started in January and although I did lose weight during that time the online program didn't do anything that MFP didn't do (except its not free like this program). I have never been to the meetings so I cant say anything about those. I did find that logging on here is easier than on the WW program. I…
  • Just so you know this is my opinion and it is what works for me. Everyone is different and you need to find what works for you. It sounds to me like many of the other people on here you are a yo-yo dieter. I have also tried many fad diets, clean dieting, etc. They don't work for me. The more I told myself I couldn't have…
  • I work 3rd shift as a PCA and I am doing clinicals as a Surg Tech on 1st shift each 3 days a week. It can throw your eating schedule off. For me I have found that eating a meal instead of snacks help get me through. It may not be the most sensible meal (we have a Wendy's in the hospital that is open until 3 a.m. but I make…
  • Also you can get them at Best Buy if you have one near you instead of paying shipping on them. I haven't found anywhere else that sells them though.
  • I love mine. I have found the weight to be accurate and like the above post says it keeps me honest. It downloads on here automatically so I can't just ignore a weight gain.
  • You can add me if you would like. I am 38 with 7 kids at home. My kids are also one of my biggest reasons why I want to get in better shape. My son will be leaving in 15 days for boot camp (army) and I promised him I would run with him before he leaves. All my kids are active in sports (softball, gymnastics, baseball,…

  • I use the Fitbit Aria, it connects to MFP through WiFi and figures weight and body fat %. I got mine at Best Buy, but you can also buy it at fitbit.com for the same price (not sure about shipping though).
  • I have two quotes that I like to live by and that have helped me in many situations: -One of the most important keys to Success is having the discipline to do what you know you should do, even when you don't feel like doing it. Unknown -After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box. (This is an Italian…
  • I don't know if this idea will help or not but what if you cut it down for the summer to be weekly challenges instead of daily. At work we have a health program that has weekly goals...ex. walk 20 miles this week, no fast food this week, eat (pick a number) of vegetables this week, do 30 minutes of cardio 3 times this…
  • For me it is more of a fear....fear of what kind of person I will become, will I be like one of those girls that feels they need to flaunt their bodies, will I look down on others that are overweight, basically will I get stuck on myself. These are traits I have seen in so many girls and women that I don't want to become…
  • Last week I was 188.3 this week I weighed in at 185.8 for a loss of 2.5 lbs.
  • I joined because I enjoy the daily challenges. Since I don't have a gym membership and I work and go to school quite a bit it is nice to have something to mix up the workouts that I can cram into my already busy schedule. I also love the people on here and enjoy being a part of this group. 50 push up done!!
  • I stayed exactly the same at 188.3.
  • My bonus= I had to work a 12 hour shift today so my mothers day is just starting also. When I got home my 10 yr old daughter gave me a list of "Top 10 Reasons I Love My Mother" 1) She is very nice to me 2) She pays for the bills 3) She's around all the time 4) She takes care of me 5) She gives me things I need 6) She keeps…
  • Sorry but this challenge is not working for me today. I have the stomach virus that has made its way through my house now. Yesterday I was doing good getting 1/4 cup of chicken noodle soup in me for the entire day. I still don't have an appetite today and my daughter is also home with me because of the same thing. Everyone…
  • I spent the day helping patients at work. I also came home and went to my sons ballgame where I helped coach the team on as well. I also did 100 jumping jacks.
  • Weight last Monday was 189.8 today it is 188.3 for a loss of 1.5 lbs
  • I forgot to mention my goals and starting weight earlier. Last month I started out at 189.8 lbs and ended at the exact same spot. I am aiming to lose 1 lb a week right now so I would like to be at 185 by the end of the month. I am happy with slow progress because in the past I have done the quick loss diets and found that…
  • Hello, my name is Kim. I live in Ohio the wonderful Buckeye State. I work full time at the hospital on the burn unit. I also go to school full time working toward my Surgical Technology degree. I have 7 kids at home and 4 step kids who are grown and on their own. I enjoy going camping in the summer time, coaching fast…
  • 4/22 191.5 lbs 4/28 189.8 lbs for a loss of 1.7 lbs
  • I walked with my instructor today at lunch (not sure exactly how far but we went around the outside of the hospital). I also did 50 crunches. Trying to make up for not being able to get in my kicks yesterday.
  • No loss for me this week. 290.8 4/15, 291.4 4/22
  • 1993 Sister Act 2 and The Secret Garden came out the year I graduated. Man I feel old!!
  • This one will probably be impossible for me today. I have school/clinicals this morning from 6:30 am to 1:00pm and then go straight to work from 3:00pm to 11:30pm. I will however get in about 10-12 miles of walking today.
  • I gained 1.7 lbs this week. Sorry team, I guess I have some making up to do.
  • I joined because I thrive on challenges. All my life I have looked for ways to push myself. I remember in high school my mom going to my neurology appointment for my seizures and asking the doctor if she should hold me back from being in so many different sports. I was in softball, swim team, wrestling, volleyball,…
  • Today was my 12.5 hour day at work so I just got off and cooking is not on my list of things to do. So I think I will have a tuna fish sandwich with light mayo on wheat bread and some chicken noodle soup. Right now I am just thinking what is fast so that I can go to sleep. Kids and hubby already ate and of course it…
  • I hope I don't get whacked for cheering for another team, but Pamela you are doing great! You are a great inspiration!!
