My goal is to kick my coke habit (liquid not powder!). I can drink coke all day. I don't want aspertame either and if I switch to diet I just drink more. I have gone a week without my crutch, had a couple as a CHOICE, feel better already, but must continue! :)

Hi there, Heather in Canada. Turning 40 this year and it was going to be the year. I wanted 1 lb per week gone, 50 by the end of the year. ... it's June and I've gained since January! CRAP! RESTART! :) I have renewed vigour: tracking diligently, pushing it on the elliptical. I will do this! Please feel free to friend me.…

Hi all, feel free to add me too (I have asked some of you! ). I have found whatever that "thing" is (again) that makes you want to track, and want to work out. I love this "thing"! Must keep it going! :)

Hi all! Similar to you, sbernardo123, I have been on "diets" since I was 8 years old when I joined weight watchers with my mom. Always the heavy kid, always obsessed with food, and I, too, would sneak food as a child. I managed to get down to a size 14 - 180 lbs right before University, felt great! Gained it back over the…

I hear ya! I am 40 in December. ... my goal is a pound a week; I'll be pre-baby weight and 52 pounds from where I am now! :) all the best!

Must quit the coke. Would love to join your challenge!

My husband loves me just as I am. He knows how miserable I am in this body, and then he feeds me to feel better. He is a kind wonderful man, but I use him to enable me. I don't buy junk, but he does and then I eat it. I know that I need to be strong no matter what anyone else is doing. I LET him sabatage me. .. must find…

my daughter is feeling completely neglected, so I'll only post my weight and apologize for missing last week. I was 235 last week and 232 this week. Definately moving in the right direction, yayayayayayayay!! Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday... I'm off to play with my little one :)

Hi all - weight is 238 lbs Not crazy happy about this week, but I can live with it. It was a week of disapointment (you know those weeks where you try EXTRA hard and things STILL don't work out?). But I let my weight loss/ eating habits slide this week to accomodate all the other things I was trying to accomplish. Back on…

Hi there! I'm a sweet tooth too! I work well with bribes, so something I'm going to try is logging my "treat" in the morning, then at the end of the day I earn it with calories, and if I go over in calories, I can always forgo the treat. Someone here in MFP land suggested it, I think it could work! good luck regardless!

hi new mommy! I'm mom to a 23 month old (I can't believe she's 2 in a couple weeks!) and a 4 month old. First and fore most, take care of yourself. You need to sleep and eat well, especially if you're nursing too. As other mom's have said, get excercise where you can, SLEEP whenever you can (body functions better on…

Hi all!! so hard to get on here these days (as it is my daughter is in bed and my son is nursing so i'm typing with one hand... Anvy - i don't know how you don't go postal with that kind of service. there's nothing more aggravating to me than poor service. I would have done the same as Kendal: had anoutburst and then go to…

Good day all! I've been looking at my calories/food choices and they're so bad when my husband is around! I can hear a little voice in my head (not the one that tells me to kill.... just kidding) telling me "he's in town, tell him to bring home McDonalds" or "yay! we get a treat!". I've GOT to be the same person with as…

Hi there, hoping you'll take another new member to your group? My weight is the highest it's ever been following the birth of my second child and I'd love to join such a wonderful group of folks (t'was reading over your old posts and you guys seem like such a tight knit group!). I lost 5 lbs last week (my first week at…

my X and I had a long distance relationship and the first thing he said when he saw me after a break was "wow, you've gained weight!". I didnt' see it then, but he wasn't right for me. I've since found the most wonderful man in my husband who has seen me through child birth, HORRIBLE hangovers, and weight gain to boot! :)…

hello new friend, love the cat pic! I have three felines myself :) you've made the first step in joining a site like this and seeking information, good for you!!! :)

I used to drive my husband nuts asking him how I compared to other women, it wasn't because I wanted him to tell me i was smaller (though I loved hearing it), but I seriously had no idea how I look. Sometimes he'd ask if I was serious - I'd see someone that I thought I looked like that apparenlty had about 100 lbs on me.…

Hi there, I'm in the same boat - nursing a 4 month old and wanting to get my body back in shape. I like your thinking regarding the baby - I try to put my son first, and ignore the wiggle, jiggle and overall blah that having a baby can do to a person. The range for extra calories (apparently) is 200-500 needed to make…
