i an a working mom too, and i have found that no matter what i have to dedicate at least an hour ever other day or so for prep time. i cut up veggies, make a hugh salad, make up a tuna and celery mixture and always make sure there are hard boiled eggs in the fridge..i also make sure that every couple of days i cook up…

hahahaha...the dark tootsie roll pit! don't worry you can climb out

congrats iam in awe of anybody who actually finishes that 30ds!!!

i love this new ideas...when in a hurry i just marinade chicken in italian dressing and bake..works with any oil salad dressing

don't know why your husband would say that, there is obviously an improvement, great job

i am 47

i am no longer boiling hot all summer long, just hated summer during my heavier days, the heat would actually make me feel sick and i would hide in the house in the air conditioning, now i am fine..love not feeling sick all summer..on the sad side i lost a couple friends. one was always smaller than me but gained weight…

47, lost 60 pounds, and struggling to keep it off!!

hmm i have had mine for 2/5 years, was told it was painful to be put in, but actually except for a pinch, no big deal. have not gained weight or noticed any change in acne.. gone are the cramps and all the rest of the unpleasantness...but truly i think it works differently for every woman, i have had a side effect, but…

its ok, people tend to be judgemental, while i was loosing weight i had the same comment made, and also a family member looked at me one day and yelled "just eat something" i was 160 pounds, and was trying really hard to follow a healthy diet, i was embarrassed and saddened. now i am trying to maintain, which is really…

i could have written your post, really trying to get motivated, but sometimes the most obvious is the answer, when i first lost my weight i did something i liked the wii fit!! it broke and now i keep trying to do other things i just don't like 30 ds, walking in the cold etc. time to look into getting my wii fit fixed lol.…

i yup add me too if you like

Guys i believe that most of us have been their, losing weight is soo hard and truly is a mind set. I lost 60 pounds two years ago and managed to keep it off, now i have gained 10 pounds back and am having such trouble trying to keep it off or even maintain, i am so worried that i am gonna gain it all back. I feel tired and…

two years ago new years day quite smoking and went on a 1200 calorie a day diet, i ate anything i wanted just tracked everything diligently, i lost 60 pounds and have kept it off soo far..i am new to mfp but really like the easy tracking and community here. i am still at 1200 calories a day but i am finding it harder to…

give it a way immediately or trash it..i had a friend who kept on insisting on dropping off her famous high calorie dessert every so often, even though i declined nicely many times...so instead of hurting feelings, i just thanked her very much, told her it was wonderful, and as soon as she left threw it away. i don't need…

i know exactly where you are at...that was me 28 years ago..I did have more family, but they were all basically abusive or didn't care. its so scary and hard and unfair to have to go out into the world and do it yourself. you already pay most of the bills, so you can afford to be on your own. You deserve better so know…

Well i am not gonna pretend to be an expert, but i will pass on what people tell me, up your water,,,drink more water. and truthfully do you not like veggies and fruits? you seem to be eating a lot of not so healthy calories, maybe get in more healthy foods....hope you find out whats holding you back, but i am like you not…

i think we all love food, thats why we need this website, but my problem is i am lazy, how do you work out enough to maintain 2000 calories a day? that is wonderful for you

i like the interaction too feel free to add me as well

i like the first one a bit better, you look great in both!

truly? i always heard 2 hours before bed, but why? i have been told that you should eat the majority of your calories early in the day, but i work till midnight and by the time i get off work i am starving again...
