Thank you, yes, you are right about Manic Monday, lol. Thought I would ask some fun trivia knowledge. I love Monday, Monday, it brings back so many memories. My momma used to sing it, lol, but I think you want the original singers, lol, that would be the Mamas & Papas, I think. Trying not to look it up. lol. Thank you, I…

Evie :) Sweetie, I am so excited for you. I am happy that you are going to get to talk to a nutritionist, my hubby has suggested that I talk to one too!!! So talk to me and let me know how it goes. I guess you are going in already, so good luck!!! I am sorry I have been out lately, been having some issues here, but seems…

Marty I hope that you are able to get some help with the pain and that it is not too serious. Great job on keeping it going, even if it is less, or is just eating plan. Better to stick to part, then to stop it all. But I don't want you to get hurt worse by pushing it too hard. I hope that everyone else is doing well. We…

I am glad you are back. I am back as well, but had different reasons. I hope you had fun, and am happy that you are setting your sights forward instead of letting the guilt get the best of you. So great job!! Keep up the good work, and you will be able to loose it again in no time. :) Welcome Back! V.

Hi Ice: Nice to hear from you, and I am glad that all is well with you. Thank you so much for the prayers they are greatly appreciated. I hope that your patient and family are doing well. It is okay if you do not always get on MFP, It is important however, that you stay on target. We are here to help in any way we can, and…

OH!! Thank you, but I had it out already. I had to wait bc I had no insurance, and then had to wait till I had my son, and thenwait another 4 weeks. But I am much better, I just know what it is like to wait and just want answers. To just have the pain go away! Hope you get your answers soon!!

Good Luck Evie, I am going to be keeping you in my thoughts today. As I still do not have the time difference down completely. I should get one of those world clocks. lol. I really hope that you are able to get the information that you need. I know what it is like to have to wait, I had to wait for my gallbladder, and I…

Yes, enjoy walking around afterward. Makes me feel a little better about eating out. Yes, those dressings can get you. But, plain Romaine lettuce has no value, so it is great fluffy, but it does not give your body anything. Spinach, cabbage, kale are so much better, and those are not usually in the salads that you are…

Thank you so much M for the tip. Making sure that we take care of our feet is very important, it makes it harder to loose the weight when we no longer can walk. Good Luck this week!

Great topic, We stopped ordering appetizers when we go out. Instead we stick to main menu, or entrée items. I also stick to water with lemon, the lemon water is not only good for you, but it also takes away the boringness of plain water. I also do not order desert. I feel like I can make my own, and they taste better…

OMG!!! Marty, that is so awesome. I am so proud of you. You are working so hard on it, you will be where you want to be in no time. Keep it up, I see great things for you in the future

Hey Evie: No, I have not done measurements, I feel like I should. I just am afraid I guess. You are sooo right, the numbers will come! As long as we all stick to it, and do not give up. That is so key for all of us. Hope that you have had a wonderful day. Ice: That is great that you were able to have a good workout. Do not…

Omg! That is so great Evie, I am so proud of you! Your doing awesome. I loved Zumba, but am not as coordinated as I thought so I was never able to do that much, so that is awesome. Something good that happened, Besides my hubby getting into the doctor and getting some help. I was able to burn some calories running after…

Hey Evie, sorry, and thank you, I did not mean to totally spill my frustration out on here. We all have frustration in our days. Today I took him to urgent care and they gave him a shot to help with the inflammation, and gave him some antibiotics to help with any infection. I also have an appointment set up with a Vascular…

Thank you Evie, I just wish sometimes that I could see bigger numbers on the scales. You know. I would love to take the kids out on a bike with that trailer to pull them behind. But I need to loose weight for that. LOL. Hope you are having a great day. Ice: I hope that you are having a great day, and were able to keep on…

Hey Everyone! Thank you so much Evie, and Marty. That means a lot. Yeah it has been super busy. Like right now, my daughter has decided that clothes are too bothersome, and my son is content for the time being. Not sure how long that will last though. So I will make this quick. I have enjoyed so much getting to know…

Hey Marty, I totally understand your frustration. It sure gets annoying even when I am about in town and hear some skinny little teenager whine because she feels so "fat" and she might be 20 pounds over her BMI (WHICH I PERSONALLY HATE). I get so frustrated because at least she can find clothes at the store, she doesn't…

Hi Kspenglermoor, Welcome, Of course there is always more room for more, we never turn anyone away. Even if you only had a few pounds to shed, because this is about a lifestyle change and not just about losing weight. But I do totally agree that there are different struggles for people that have a 100 or more pounds versus…

Hey Everyone, Thank you for responding. It is interesting to see what people like. My husband LOVES the 80's and so since being married have had an 80's education. lol. I love the oldies, but Country is my absolute favorite to listen to on a regular basis. Like M. I love to listen to music with a beat if I am working out,…

Thank you Ice, I appreciate you answering the questions. It allows us to get to know you a little better. I am so proud of what you have been able to do so far. I am looking forward to start losing weight, I seem to be lagging after losing only 5 pounds. But, I see what everyone else is doing, and so I went for a walk. :)…

Evie: Thanks hun!! I appreciate all the support you have given to me. I hope that I am able to help you too.. and I am always here for you. :) I am sorry that you didn't get the support that you needed before; hopefully that is changing. :) I always feel gross and nasty, I am a work in progress. There will always be better…

Hey everyone, Including Evie, M, Anita (Bok!) :) Sorry I have been MIA for the last few days, we were super busy. Saturday was a family day, and then that afternoon I was not feeling good, but we (hubby, kids) walked around the mall, which allows me to window shop, and allows me to get some workout in without even knowing…

M: Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out for everyone. I appreciate you taking time out to make sure that people are being safe. :) As much as I would LOVE to ride a bike, because I loved it as a kid, I am scared of breaking the tires. Last time I got on a real bike (not a stationary) I deflated the tires…

Welcome, I am glad that you joined. We are positive and encourage each other. Do you mind me asking you a few questions, and feel free to answer or not, whatever you are comfortable with. 1) What made you decide now to lose the weight? 2) If you tried to lose weight before and did not succeed, what makes this time…

M: I am always ashamed of being so big. My husband and his family accept me more then my family ever did. But I sometimes look in the mirror and can hear my dad telling me how disgusting I was, and I should just do everyone a favor and take my disgusting body where no one would ever have to look at me. I hate the mirror,…

Yeah I could not do all of it, but I did do most of it, I got maybe one or two reps in before I was like no way. But what I like is that she goes slow, I am not coordinated at all and so it helps to have someone slow it down and give me a chance to understand it. Also, I LOVE YOGA, I have not tried Jillian Michaels yet, I…

Thank you so much Marty, I appreciate that. I never used heart rate monitors much because I could barely walk and already be at my limit, so I just decided not to use them. But I have heard that if you use them properly, unlike me, that it really does help your body burn off fat, and not muscle. So I agree it is definitely…

Evie, its okay. It happened and is over. I used to over eat when I was stressed out, or eat the wrong thing. Now, I just do not eat, I have to go get a bowl of cereal, or yogurt, and tell myself my body needs it, even if my mind does not. I think we get in this notion that if overeating is bad, then not eating is good,…

Oh Evie, that makes perfect sense, and I applaud you for seeing the damage it can cause and saying that you will not allow that to be you. And there are days that I just want to quit because I feel like a failure. I feel like if I can not even keep a simple goal like working out for that day, then how am I going to reach…

Yes, I love the phone app, I just wish there was more that I could do on my phone app that I seem to only get on the computer. Hope everyone is having a good evening. :)
