As much as you probably don't wanna hear this, you really need to workout at least 30 mins a day, every day. :grumble: I know for myself that I didn't like that but now that I've made it my daily habit, it's no big deal. I've lost 22 lbs in just 6 weeks so I know I can do this. :happy: This has been the most awesome life…

I can relate. I'm a breast cancer survivor of a year and still having surgeries due to surgery that went wrong. :frown: Now, I still deal with our family and the loss of my income over the last year and a half due to my having cancer. My daughter is going to college in just 2 weeks. Our three boys in still in middle and…

I had to wear shoe inserts prescribed by my doctor and it took a few months before the pain was gone. :huh: My doctor put injections in the bottom of my feet and helped for about 4 weeks until the inserts kicked real good. :happy: I feel your pain. It's an awful thing. I didn't want to get up because it brought tears to my…

I updated mine and that's exactly what happened. I do think it needs to happen though if you intend on continuing to lose versus maintain your weight. I was sad to lose a 100 calories but it's made me work harder to burn an extra 100 a day. :wink:

Carissa, you came to right place. I've been on many of diets throughout my 39 years and I've always gained the weight back. I've never counted calories and Jilllian Michaels says that it's a lifetime change. She said you have to count calories for a lifetime or you won't maintain. You have to exercise your whole life in…

Hey girl! I've done several diets over my lifetime but this is my lifetime diet. It's not a diet, it's just a way of living. Jillian Michaels says that if you don't count calories a lifetime, you'll end up in trouble again. This is the best thing I've ever done and it's FREE!! What more could anyone ask for? I have it on…

I personally didn't like those DVDs but I've been told to track like the Tae Bo DVDs. That's a good workout and a good burn!!! Good luck!! :smile:

I had a cheat day while at the river last weekend and gained 1.4 lbs by doing so. I didn't even cheat all that much but it was what I ate that made it bad. That and I had too many sodas. I was so discouraged when I got home. Now, I lost that weight and one more pound in one week. Keep it up. Maybe, just have one cheat meal…

Hi Norma, when you complete your profile you will add the information about your exercise intentions and your goals. It's based on that mainly. When you add your exercise, it looks as if you have additional calories to eat. For myself, I don't eat the calories I burned because then I'm just maintaining. Now, if I was in…

Welcome Princess to MFP! :smile: I'm happy to see that you've made a life time change to be healthy. Being hypoglocemic myself, I know exactly what you are going through as I have to watch my sugar intake as well. :ohwell: I have a morning sugar level of about 80-90 every morning. :happy: I've never counted calories in my…

Hi Wendy! Welcome to MFP! I'm happy that you are making a life change and becoming healthy! :happy: It's hard to get on the band wagon, but push yourself until you have a routine and habit of working out. Jillian Michaels says you must work out daily if you want to stay well and healthy. Remember, It's your life change.…

The best part is that it's free!! I have received so much encouragement and support from here. Thank God for MFP!! God bless you!!…

I've always had a bowl of cereal before bedtime but my endocronologist and all other doctors say I shouldn't eat past 6 or 7. :ohwell: So, I arrange my calories throughout the day so that I can have a glass a milk and a package of 100 calorie snack before bedtime. It has cured me from eating so late. When you eat that…

Me too! I've made it my mission to encourage at least 3 people a day on this website. I have found tons of encouragement and support on this website and it's free! What more can you ask for? I've never felt better in all of my 39 years. I know it sounds crazy but I don't feel as if I'm dieting at all. I've finally made the…

I did that for our annual river trip this year and it worked out great!!! I took snacks that we could eat that I wouldn't feel threatened by and it took 5 calorie Kool-Aid powders to add to my water and didn't gain a pound. We're planning our anniversary trip to Chicago next month and it will be a wee more difficult but I…

They make a tape type thing that is specifically for that in the material department. It works really nice and doesn't gap open! I ended up with breast cancer so I got them reduced then. Thank God! Good luck on your weight loss journey!! :happy:

Isn't that funny how that happens?! I'm proud of you! Happy birthday Ashlee!!! :happy:

I'm so proud of you! I quit smoking 8 years ago and had stopped before. I have no idea why I started again then but did but when I stopped smoking 8 years ago, it was the hardest thing to do. I still crave occasionally but haven't acted on it all. You stay strong and pray about it. God will help you through. God bless you!…

That's awesome! I'm so proud of you that you said no. That would be hell's temptation for me. Just think of how good you will look in October!! Keep it up!! God bless you on your weight loss journey!

I've worked for them over a year and I've never known them to test on animals. Every thing that they sell or make is pure and chemical free. I never was much of an organic person but after being with this business for a year, I think totally different on things. What's the "do test" list that your talking about? I've never…
