  • Thank you all so much for your advice & support. I am in need of a new scale. I'm going to be getting one of those BF%, Water, Weight scales. So that if I gain a pound I can see if it's in Lean Muscle, water, or fat weight. I think that will help me. Also going to grab a measuring tape for measurements to help keep me…
  • Thank you Jessgoodbred8! I definitely need to get a measuring tape. I was just so discouraged to go down half a pound when I've been so on track.
  • I wouldn't do more than one shake a day unless you don't have enough calories & have no more exercising ability to get more calories. A Slim fast in the morning goes a long way imo. When I was still skinny back before kids I weighed 145lbs. I was in highschool and kept forgetting to eat breakfast because I got up too late.…
  • Three things. 1. When you go from not working out, to working out. Your body starts building core muscles & muscles in general. Muscle weighs a lot more than fat. That is why you are noticing your clothes fitting better, but not seeing the scale go down most likely. 2. Portions, Portions, Portions. Use actual measuring…
  • I'm not single. But my personality is the same way as yours. This being said, THERE IS HOPE! I love staying at home & cooking etc. etc. Scyfy! LOTR! Video Games! I found a very buff, handsome, video game playing, LOTR loving Nerd just for me! Him and I play video games together at home & work out in the mornings together!…

  • :noway: Oh my bad. Thought this was the motivation & support thread. I must have posted in the wrong forums then? LoL. If you don't have support to give, or something motivating to say when people need the motivation then maybe you shouldn't post at all. Yes? :laugh: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou: Anywho, to the rest of you,…
  • 30th Time. Ouch. Have you asked him about it? Are you sure it's him? How old are your kids? (Pain Meds are common drug to trade in schools now adays. If you kids are under Junior High then I'd say no worry with the kids. But 6th Grade up I'd look into them as well.). What is his excuse for them being gone? You should have…
  • I have been up and down with weight a few times, and I hear ya about losing the boobs and the fear of them going down below a C. Proportion. Get a bra that fits really nice. Now that you're a C you can go into Victoria secret and get one of those va-va-voom push up bras that you would have never fit into before. Explore…
  • Thank you all so, so, so much for your replies! The support and motivation is so amazing here with MFP! Music, I LOVE dancing! Maybe I'll just start my day off dancing during my morning routine. Perhaps that will get me moving and awake enough to do something. And I totally understand that ..."job" feeling exercise can…
  • Spongebob Movie Kids just watched this yesterday. LoL
  • This. Don't argue in the heat of the moment. But DON'T let them walk all over you! I took that for most of my life. Now, I often lash out in anger because of the regression of it all. So, take a moment to think about what she said. Was it that bad? Is this the first time? Then if it still turns your tummy, go to the person…
  • Thank you all very much. This has made me feel much better. I have been working out everyday. Giving myself usually those extra 200 Calories anyway setting me up to 1500. I was just a little upset that I wasn't within my 100 Calorie either way thing I was trying to keep up. =P But, you have all insured me that I am doing…
  • Thank you. I probably am stressing out about it too much. I just want this so bad. I've been overweight too long from having kids and just want my body back. =/

  • I started Stress/Emotional binge eating when I was pregnant. Comfort food. What helps me is getting rid of all snacks in the house that I like. After time I was able to add snacks back in with the Self control to say no! I drink Lots and Lots of water. It's hard, very very hard habit to break I know! But, when I get a…
  • I'm a stress eater! And I binge when there is an over abondance of food in the house. My suggestions: 1: Keep Snacks out of the house. [If you are like me and have family that wants snacks, I have a husband and two kids. Then until you learn Self Control only buy them snacks you don't like to eat! Ex: I hate Cool Ranch…

  • You can add me for support. I will do my best to motivate you when I log in! Hopefully you can do the same for me!
  • I can't walk outside due to weather so, I ran up and down the stairs! It burned more calories than my walk yesterday!
  • Online Support really helps and makes a difference. I think having it on your phone and getting reminders that someone has messaged you helps too! LoL, people telling you "Hey did you count your calories today!?" If you need some support, you can add me. I try to keep the motivation rolling, because I need the motivation…
  • These post replies were a big help for me tonight. Thank you Juliemouse for asking this question!
