  • This! I totally agree. I have at least one small piece of chocolate every single day. A day without chocolate is just unthinkable!!! :happy:
  • Got this tip from a friend whose son is a wrestler in school: The night before your final weigh-in, dump a bag of Epsom salts into a bath full of hot water. Make the water as HOT as you can stand it. Then soak in the tub of HOT salt-water for about half hour or forty-five minutes. You will sweat like crazy!! I did this the…
  • "The reason I dont' like the journey talk, is because this is not a journey. A journey by definition is a movement from one place to another. It has an endpoint. So, for all those who claim to be on a journey, you are claiming at some point you will stop. " We're all on a journey, dude. LIFE is a JOURNEY. We are constantly…
  • Shoot me the details - definitely interested in hearing more. Thanks!
  • Congratulations on your success!!! :flowerforyou:
  • Guilty ..... I keep this open all day so I can log whatever goes into my mouth!
  • Feel free to add me! :happy: 46 yr old mom in Missouri with only a few pounds to go .... but I'm planning to stay with MFP for maintenance and to offer support & encouragement to those who might want it!
  • Feel free to add me. I've been on since January .... I think tomorrow is my 100 days in a row logging in! :) I'm happy to offer support and encouragement .... we all need it sometimes!!
  • I have PF ... hate it!! On the advice of a co-worker who suffers from it as well, I now (1) take ibruprofen, (2) ice my foot for about 15 - 20 minutes after I workout, and (3) massage my foot before I go to bed at night. The mornings are much easier when I do this ..... on those days when I'm rushed and don't bother with…
  • Eat it, of course!! :) Or .... you could give it away. Take it to your work and set it in a community spot, like a break room, with a note for everyone to grab a hunk and enjoy. If you have a family reunion or pot-luck coming up, take it to share (provided it's not an outdoor thing in the heat and you'll all wind up with…
  • 46 in Missouri .... feel free to add me as a friend. :) I started with MFP in January, and have managed to lose a little over 28 lbs, with a bit over 6 lbs left toward my goal. I love the site! And I intend to continue to log in daily once I hit my goal and start working to MAINTAIN!!! I haven't yet requested a bunch of…
  • I started at 170.6 .... am aiming for somewhere between 130 and 135. Started on January 7th .... would like to hit goal by Memorial Day .... so far, am at 143.4 (27 lbs lost - around 10 to go) .... I CAN DO IT!!!! (and so can YOU!!!!!!)
  • I agree 100% with this: No music, no workouts will happen. Old music, boring workouts will happen. New music, great workouts will happen. :)
  • Rather than remain sitting at my desk all day, I have a stand for my computer made by ERGOTRON which allows me to either stand or sit to do my computer work. It's a stand (cart?) similar to those used in hospitals or medical offices which nurses can wheel from room to room when checking on patients. The treadmill desk…
  • Probably should check with your doctor to be sure .... but yes, it could be plantar faciitis. I have had it in my left foot for about the past year or so, and it can be pretty painful at times. The mornings are the worst! If your doctor confirms that you do have plantar faciitis, there are stretches you can do to help. And…
  • No. I am 99% honest with my food diary. But each weekday, I have either 3 or 4 M&Ms (for my afternoon chocolate fix) and/or one 8-calorie sugar free Werthers that do not get included in my food diary. Since I also don't count my 5 minutes on the "stepper" in the mornings while blow-drying my hair in my exercise diary, I am…
  • Welcome to MFP!! I've been on for 71 days now, and have lost 24 lbs!! (headed for another 11 - 16 lbs for my goal) Congrats on your decision to join MFP ..... and all the best to you on your weight loss journey!
  • Always up in a pony tail. No way I could leave it down.
  • I weigh every day, but only record once a week (on Mondays).
