I don't log anything that's part of my normal daily routine, but I do log the extra stuff. Right now I've been tearing apart room by room, patching nail holes, sanding, painting, rehanging all the pictures on the wall, moving furniture and cleaning out clutter. I've even emptied out closets to paint inside them! Boxes and…

Congrats! That's definitely cause for celebration! I, too, have a lot of weight to lose, but for short term goals I take it ten pounds at a time. It makes it less overwhelming.

LOVE this!

Whoa! Are you for real? I worked retail for YEARS and that gives me very little patience with salespeople that are not friendly. After all, the customer is the true one giving a salesperson a paycheck. No customers, no job. It's that easy. If someone can't get over their problems and give good customer service, they need…

I think he just spent so much time stuffed in his own locker back in High School that he is acting out. My 15 year old son read the article and said he's glad he only shops the clearance rack there. At least he realizes that those prices for a tee shirt made in China is just throwing money away.

I tend to work harder when I am by myself. I want to concentrate on what I'm doing, not hold a conversation.

Because I really, really need to get in shape. Because it makes me feel like I can conquer the world. Because it puts my day in perspective and I don't sweat the small stuff after a good workout.

Congratulations!!

You can add me, too! I want to lose a total of 92 pounds. My first goal was 20 pounds by May 1st and as of this morning I am .8 pounds away from that goal!

Count me in, too! I'm 44, my body isn't quite functioning like it once was.

I was just thinking today that my bras are not fitting so great anymore. Why did my boobs have to go first and not my butt?

I'm in DuBois right now (though you might not have ever heard of it, lol)

Feel free to add me. I'm happy most days, lol!

This isn't about certain people, though, but about the one you have chosen to spend your life with. More than a fair share of marriages fall apart because one spouse finds the attention elsewhere that was not given at home. I've been married for 15 wonderful years, but without respect, appreciation and desire on both of…

Don't freak out over a gain unless it sticks. I've had my scale show a gain only to go back down the next day. More than likely it's water weight and nothing to worry about. Watch sodium levels and drink lots of water.

My husband came home last weekend with a giant blueberry muffin for me. "It's low fat!" he exclaimed. He didn't realize that one muffin is 1/4 of my total daily calories. it wasn't sabotage though - he was being sweet, and what he thought was supportive.

I didn't read the blog post, but from the way it was explained I think the woman just comes across as being jealous. Posting before and after pictures is no more fat shaming than posting college graduation pictures is shaming those that chose not to go the college route. Anyone who takes it that way is projecting their own…

I'm 44 and just started MFP a few weeks ago. I could use the support - I've got a long way to go on this journey. You guys can feel free to add me.
