This is kind of a funny one but I saw it somewhere "I run so I can eat!"

Saw a picture of myself...cried about it...was in the gym the next week! Oh also the dr told me i'm technically "obese" by the BMI chart and high blood pressure. I don't want that for myself!!

Nice thanks for the opinions. I didn't eat anything really that bad today so maybe I will enjoy something. I'm currently starving and need to eat! haha

I just registered last night. My UN is mderr. I'm looking for friends so feel free to add me :)

I'm Here and have a super busy schedule! Feel free to add me for support!!

I read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I'm sure everyone knows what it is about. I'm now currently reading the hunger games..love it!

I give up ALL sweets :)

Great Suggestions--Just to be clear I am looking for cookware (pans, machines. etc.) Keep the suggestions coming! :)

I personally love to bake but i am trying to cook any home more--simple dishes. I just need the basics and wondering if you have good suggestions that everyone should have in their kitchen :)

Anyone? Please! I am going soon :)

I just joined! My username is mderr90 if anyone wants to be my friend on there too :)

The sunday paper out here drops off some deals every sunday! that's how I get them. I would love to know of some other great grocery deals!!

Honestly? They last about a week....everyone realizes that it's too hard and they give up way too fast. We are awesome because we stick to it and keep going throughout the year and holidays! I also noticed that a lot of people go more Monday-Wednesday and it's alot slower Thursday-Sundays.

That's so great!!!! Thank you!! I found a store right by me!! Going tonight :)

Thanks Everyone! I don't have access to a fleet feet right now...are there any running store suggestions that you can give me to go get analyzed???

Is it weird to say being happy? I noticed that when I'm happier, I lose a lot more weight then when i'm stressed or upset. I try to keep myself happy and that's the best weight loss tip that I use :)

Barrington!

Hi! Just joined--I'm from Barrington--Northwest suburb! Feel free to add me :)

I'm from chicago--i freakin love portillos..but i've stayed away lately! Yum! I believe there's nutrition info on MFP...i've entered it before :)

I just started bootcamp last week and I love it. I admit it's definitely hard at first but it's totally worth it!

Agreed..but a lot of the races i'm in, most of the $$ goes to a charity so it makes me feel better :)

Hey that's awesome! I have 2 friends who go there :)

I go to DePaul University and I love it here! I'm from the suburbs of Chicago, but there's nothing like living the city life. I live in a really healthy and active neighborhood too so it keeps me motivated :)

I'm 21 and a college student! Anyone feel free to add me!! :)

I think curvy is beautiful :) I think most of the men out there would agree! I know my boyfriend loves it and he told me if I got too skinny he would hate it! I embrace being muscular :)

Carbs are actually good when they are eaten the right way. Just make sure they are whole grain and complex carbs. Your body needs them to survive! If you over indulge you do gain weight (I can say from experience) but I'm also a runner so I eat a lot especially before races. As everyone said above me, it's all about…
