I log EVERYTHING!! in fact it doesn't go in my mouth until it's in my app (especially if I'm eating out) It is SO VERY IMPORTANT to log everything, and I would avoid using the quick calorie adds! It all comes down to commitment! DO or do not there is NO try!!

the one with the cowboy hat!!

maybe if you added a shake into your day you could manage 1200 cats

236.5 - Crew Aprile

I'm from Houston...well just south of it any ways :laugh: I too :heart: MAYO!!

1) I love to cook & LOVE :heart: LOVE to eat!! Going out to eat was always a reward or treat, I tend to enjoy things with BUTTER 2) the older I got the less active I became 3) when my mother passed I went into a deep depression & put on the majority of the weight I have now Just decided after almost 10 years I was tired of…

AWESOME JOB!!

Just logging and seeing what you eat, makes me think about if I really want something I eat breakfast everyday now!! Something I never did before, I've also added a morning & afternoon snack to my day. Cut out the soda (except for a treat now & then) Started buying almond milk instead of whole milk I bring my lunch to work…

^^^ MOST HONEST THING I'VE READ ON A THREAD!!! ^^^ :flowerforyou:

^^^THIS is why N8 is amazing!!! :laugh: But in all seriousness...don't be too hard on yourself if you do go over, like others said eat a smaller amount & do a workout to help you indulge in the extras

Not trying to come across rude, but really 3 days!! You didn’t get to be 100 pounds over weight in 3 days did you?? Please don’t get me wrong I am a very positive up beat person with all my MFP friends, but you really need to be realistic in what you expect! First of all why would you even weigh in at 3 days, at the very…

THANK YOU TO THE OP!! but ^^^THIS is what I needed to hear today!! I just joined a gym last week (it was my 30 pound non-food reward...yes a few pounds early because they had a sign up special & my husband said just do it!) any ways going in I feel so intimidated and awkward so THANK YOU!! When I go today I'm going in like…

something about those BIG COUNTRY BOYS!!! :love:

That is awsome that you got her father's blessing!! I sure hope my sons do that...my oldest is active military too, not so sure about him meeting girls from all over, this momma wants her "baby" to end up in Texas.

I was at a dance hall standing by the dance floor when the random male came up to me & said, “You see that big guy with the goatee over there shooting pool?” I looked over & saw this big good looking man in a cowboy hat & some tight wranglers. I said yes and the guy said, “Oh he said he’s taking you home tonight” :noway: I…

It’s funny you posted this, because just yesterday I was at the mall with my 16 year old daughter (who BTW is very fit & athletic, she plays basketballs & also runs track & cross country) and as I looked at other families I was just overwhelmed to see entire families completely out of shape & some extremely over weight. It…

^^^this is amazing advice!!! :drinker: But I planned to say log EVERTHING you eat EVERYDAY (the good, bad & ugly)

Oddly enough I grew up on Miracle Whip & thought it was the best thing ever....then I married my husband & one day he made me a burger with Mayo and at first I was like :noway: then I was :indifferent: but by the time I finished the buger I was :love: so mayo is all we buy now, however I don't eat it too often since I…

I second this ^^^

my name - Pamela I have 3 children all of them have been very involved in sports & extra-curricular activities, the town they have grown up in "Gators" are the mascot. Since all my kids were Gators I became - Gator Mom And it was too long to list: cheer, track, cross country, AF ROTC, basketball, baseball, football MOM!!…

Can we be friends? :flowerforyou:

:laugh: well I hope it wasn't the "creeper" rule she broke!!

^^^this for me too!^^^

THANKS OP I was wondering the same thing!! I am doing the Neon Splash Dash this weekend & it will be my first ever 5K! I'm sure I'll walk more than run but that is one reason I picked this as my first one because the atmosphere seems like it will be more relaxed!!

for me it kinda happens in spurts....one week I'll think I should have lost & don't a couple weeks later I'm sure I've gained and I haven't! You have the right attitude keeping hanging in there!! :smile:

Me too, it's strange I don't mind them stewed, cooked, or in salsa but RAW...NO WAY!! as well as mushrooms...who eats fungus??? :noway: and asparagross!!! (yes even as an adult I still call it this :laugh: )

I put mine on a bed of lettuce or baby spinach and top it with fat free ranch or better yet fat free zesty Italian dressing.

not just mine....tomorrow is my daughters sweet 16 so I ordered her favorite cake (2 layers) and specialty cookies for her as well as we are going to eat mexican food for dinner, needless to say I am certain I will be over :grumble: But my baby girl only turns 16 once!!!

So my MIL didn't do this to me BUT she did it to her other son's wife....at christmas she gave her a women's facial hair trimmer!!! Seriously!!! :laugh: (yes she needed it....but still!!!) Thank goodness she just gave me candles!!

My husband has a Harley and although it took me a long time to get on the back I :heart: it now!! That's one reason I wanted to lose weight is so I would be more comfortable on the back of the bike! In fact we took a ride to Galveston this weekend with a few other biker friends...it was GREAT!!
