@tnsummer – It depends on what type of guy he is. Both Stephs give great advice. Have you tried just asking him why he has lost his motivation and/or if there is anything you can do to help him with it? Sometimes a good conversation is all that is needed. Hope he gets back at it soon! @steph_135 – What kind of workouts are…

Hello Everyone! I just wanted to do a quick check-in. There's a lot of great stuff on here! Hello to new people. Hello to people returning after an absence. Congrats on the milestones. Congrats on getting out of your rut(s) and getting back to the gym and healthy eating. Congrats on working out the "whys"; very hard and…

@tiff – Welcome! Wow - that is a great loss! Way to go! @ron – I understand. I was discussing the local gym with a couple of people and one of them summed it up perfectly – “You need to be in shape to work out at that gym.” I found it too intimidating, so I have found a different gym where people don’t care about what I…

@Losin4Me83 - Welcome. :) @Stephaniezoundi - How's the transition going? @mjharman - Welcome. So glad you got some help and are now achieving success! As for the 5Ks, as long as you do your best, that's all that matters! Strive to be your personal best, not someone else's. @megblackburn - Welcome. Weight can fluctuate fo…

@ron – Thanks for the advice. I will use that strategy next time I have to dine out. I will likely have to eat something small beforehand though. For me, fasting = overeat! I just get too hungry. :( Great news that your boss noticed! That must have felt awesome! @steph – How are you doing? @jolande – Glad the eye is…

@AMKLIP – Mais, non! I used to be a Leafs fan, but for my own personal safety I was converted to a Sens fan. Haha! @xxjolandexx – How did you fair with your 3 course meal? @uhohkerri – Hmmm... I know on local tv stations here they have morning workouts, yoga, and whatnot. Not sure if you have something similar. Perhaps you…

@trjrh06 – So glad to hear that you BP is going down! :) @GorillaNJ – That's awesome! In my books, as long as you are moving, you're doing great! You are a rock star! @GrammyWhammy – Sounds delicious! I LOVE tea. I have been ordering from Teavana. I check their website often and order the ones on sale. There's also David's…

@AMKLIP – Leafs?! Pfft!! lol Welcome! If you have a YMCA/YWCA in your area or a community centre, check them out. Or check online for community boards. There's likely a walking club, yoga class, learn-to-dance, etc. going on. I find I stick to things that are easily accessible and it's always a bonus to make friends in…

BohemianCoast - Wow! This is amazing! You are my hero! Congratulations! Tina - That is scary! Please do keep monitoring and see a doctor if necessary! Glad you are okay though. Everyone who partied - Glad you had a great St. Patrick's Day! Tuesday Goals - To get up to 10 minutes on the elliptical. Walk EVERY day. Have a…

Hello everyone! Welcome to the newbies! Haha! Funny to say that as I am one myself. I too have terribly cold hands and feet! In fact sometimes my feet are actually blue. They have been worse since starting this. I am seeing my doctor tomorrow, so I will make sure it's nothing to worry about. I do know of a condition called…

I'll have to make this a quick one... lots to do today! Saturday Successes: - I started using MFP with regularity - I connected with some really great and supportive people - I made healthier food choices ALL week. Yay! - I finally got off my butt and started walking! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Oh my goodness! So many posts. Hopefully I'll get better at responding to more people over time. Please forgive the newbie! Friday Fitness - I am going to go for a walk in the snowstorm today and I plan on walking at least once on Saturday and Sunday. I know it's not much, but I'm just starting out. :) I wish everyone a…

Hello everyone. I am just finishing up week 2. As planned, tomorrow I will officially start working out. YIKES! It has been a long time, but I am looking forward to it! Wish me luck! I wish everyone a wonderful weekend! Keep up the great work everyone!! I agree with @PotScrubber. I had some time to read through your older…

Hello! I am new to MFP and have over 100 pounds to lose. I have finally figured out that I cannot do it on my own. I am STOKED to have already found some awesome new friends (more are always welcome) and these great threads with such encouraging people. I will do my best to provide support and encouragement as well! @Steph…

Thursday Truth - I have been ashamed of my weight for far longer than I can remember. in my family, weight was not something we discussed; being overweight simply wasn't acceptable. It has taken me a LONG time to finally realize that it is okay to talk about and to ask for support. I am just worried that I won't be able to…

Hello! I was directed here from another thread. I am new to MFP and still learning the ropes. I just wanted to say that I have already read some great things and look forward to many more. As for my Wednesday Wish - to be on a beach anywhere warm. :) If anyone would like to add me as a friend, please feel free to do so.…

I too need to lose more than 100 lbs. Thank you for starting this thread and bringing us all together. Everyone has been very supportive already! For anyone I may have missed adding as a friend, my apologies. Please feel free to add me anytime. The more support the better!
