I have only lost 8 pounds, but I have had two people tell me they can see a difference already. I don't see it. At all. BUT I was also told I will be the last person to see it. I know that doesn't help a lot, but I bet if you ran into someone who hasn't seen you since you started, they would definitely notice the changes!

Lines here... but I also am wearing boy shorts almost exclusively now, but the new problem is as I lose weight they are starting to roll when I put on my pants over them. I guess that just means time to shop for new panties!

Aww man, now I am craving grapes and I don't have any left! :)

I have found with my daughter (who is 10) that whenever she is not doing something organized, she starts to gain weight. She did baseball for three years, and by the last year, that was about the only reason she stayed in it. She was upset because "it's all boys" and she didn't like being one of only two girls who played.…

Since you have the Wii, and a little one, I would suggest some of the dancing games. I personally love Just Dance (1 and 2!), and my kids think they are just fun for them to play. They barely realize it is an entire workout too! Now granted your 2 year old won't be playing a dance game, but you can dance with your little…

Along with this, you probably need to get together with others who are in your challenge group and make sure they are not still following the bad advice from the "trainer!" I have seen you on a few other posts, and you seem to have your head together. It's great to know others like you on MFP! Congratulations on your…

Yup that's me. My daughter played three years of baseball, and I wasn't even able to go out and toss her a ball to practice at home. She just finished her first season of basketball at school, and there is a banquet tomorrow that includes a mini game of the kids against the parents, and I SO want to play. I am a little…

Only because there is NOTHING I can do with a Bachelor's in Psychology! I either have to keep going for a Master's or higher, or I have to find something else to do... I found a small niche for myself, but then got laid off when the company decided they didn't need my department. I can work in direct care type jobs but…

I have Wii Fit Plus, Zumba, and Just Dance 2. My favorite is the Just Dance2 because I like the songs on it. The only negative to it is the wait between songs, although I have not tried the random setting mostly because there are some songs I don't know. However, I also love that I can go online and buy more songs for it!…

bump, I hope to hear some good answers to these questions too!

I have considered trying out for the show myself, so I can relate to your dilemma. Right now, I am unemployed and not taking any classes so I have thought hard about going to apply myself. But I don't think I have the right "personality" for that type of show. I am not competitive, and if the trainers got in my face like…

Trying this one tonight, with the onions instead of the red pepper. You know it sounds good when I read a recipe from MFP that my husband says he will try!

I have been seeing this question A LOT recently so I think it is time for a BUMP! :laugh:

I think the real question is, are they making a difference? If they are, then they are a step in the right direction. If the families who are being targeted by these billboards are ignoring them or worse, reacting to them by increasing their fast food runs (an example only), then they should not be up. My other question is…

I got the BLLCW because it has the previous contestants, particularly Allen Smith. I know him personally, although not well (Our daughters went to the same school, and we attend the same church). It is very motivating to see him in that because it was when he was about halfway through, and it was obviously still WORK for…

I have been telling people that since I was a kid. I lived in the country and we had well water until I was 14, which has apparently made me sensitive to the different "flavors" of water. Even from one city to the next there are different flavors. I like the taste of Dasani, but the rest that I have tried give me…

An awesome small microbrewery in Las Cruces, NM, is High Desert Brewery. I am not the beer drinker in our family (I loved their homemade root beer!) so I cannot recommend which beer to get, but they are very good at making recommendations based on what you usually like. I miss NM!

Zumba is the best thing that has happened on my weight loss journey so far! I have a LOT of weight to lose so I was very hesitant about starting ANYTHING, but it was one of those lucky things. I am in a weight loss contest that provides us with access to a gym and trainers for the duration. One of the trainers also teaches…

Ok here is my take on soda in general. I quit sodas cold turkey when I was pregnant with my daughter, and had no problems. Once she was born, I decided that I could have clear sodas (Sprite for example) when I was eating out but I wasn't going to buy them for at home. All that faded the day I went to McDonald's and they…

I can (sort of) speak for the other side on this because I spent such a long time there myself. I *knew* I needed to lose weight, but it was such a big undertaking that I just told myself, as long as I am otherwise healthy, I don't NEED to lose weight. When in conversation with friends who were watching their diet or going…

I missed this one last week but I would love to be a part of it going forward! I have only managed to do my WiiFit on Sundays since I got it, although it is just a matter of walking out to the garage to turn it on... We have a loose floorboard in the living room so working out has to be done in our semi-converted garage,…

I was wondering about this same stuff too! Since joining MFP I have been able to adjust my cals, carbs, and fats, and I was going over on protein regularly and I was actually worrying a little. I think I will manually adjust mine as soon as I figure out how! Thanks for posting the question and for all the responses!

I like the Skinny Cow ice cream bars too, for a couple of reasons. The sweet ice cream is amazingly good, but then I keep the stick and chew on it for a while to eliminate wanting to eat anything else. I think it meets the same thing as chewing a piece of gum for me, only since I have a bad habit of swallowing my gum, it…

Got another one. -When for some reason you get an error when trying to access the site and you start hyperventilating thinking, BUT I NEED TO CHECK MY MFP!!! Heaven forbid they ever have to take the site down for maintenance!!!

I tried two different videos and didn't like either one so I had given up already! LOL! I think I may go back and check the Crunch ones after all.

I bought my husband a new grill last week that has both gas and charcoal, and we added the smoker to the side. He smoked a lean brisket yesterday and then put it back out there again today. It was so tender we barely had to chew it. I had it as a sandwich for lunch and as a burrito for dinner, of course on thin whole grain…

Must. Click. Yes. But these pics are so funny I want to keep looking! Please, mommy, just 5 more minutes? LMBO!!!

I am laughing so hard I just woke up my husband. LOL! I hadn't had a lot of changes in my bowels but after reading through, I am guessing that is because 1) I still eat carbs to the max allowed by MFP and 2) I eat a ton of yogurt (that was my first dietary change, because it was easy to do). I so needed the laugh today!…

Now I think I just had it made in NM... no major teams to call it home so everyone liked somebody different. LOL! Although there is a large Cowboys fan base there, they still weren't the "home" team either... However I could just imagine the rivalry at your house if ever the two teams play... :huh: :laugh:

Ahh, the cure for missing Indiana in NM was to go visit Ruidoso. It was much like Brown County. So a couple times a year, we would go there for a long weekend and it fixed all my problems. Although it was fun to see fireflies (lightning bugs) again, especially for my kids! Our first winter back, my daughter (who had never…
