good luck with your exams!!

Well, I am 41 so I have passed high school - done 10 years in the military (yup weight problem there too) - had 2 children and here I am. I finished my Masters in Education/Leadership in Nov of 2012 and I not only want to lose the weight for myself but set a healthy example for my children and my future students. I have…

Take it a minute at a time if you have to - one bad choice does not have to ruin your day. You can start over right now - and remember to do this for yourself not anyone else.

My eating habits - well where should I start...I used to be in love with fast food but now it makes me sick literally (but I still eat it once in a while because I apparently like to punish myself). I binge now and again not because I am hungry but because the demon in my head tells me to stand by the garbage can and shove…

I have a 10 and 8 year old and my favorite moments are when I am with them. I have quickly realized how fast the days fly by and how they are growing so fast. Everyday with them for me counts. We have such a good time and laugh a lot. We are anxiously waiting and counting down the days for school to end so we can go to the…

Alright folks - tomorrow is the last day of the month so weigh in and lets see how everyone has done! No matter what remember I am proud of you!!

If you like to Zumba there are some great videos on line YouTube offers - my Zumba instructor is up there!

Hi - I'm Sandi - I need more support than the average bear. I have family and friends who are huge supporters but are in their own sense 'skinny' as compared to me at 5'11" and 290lb. While I have been told I carry my weight well (all in my butt) I want to be healthier for the long run not just the diet run. I get down on…

ok - request sent!
-
I know typically nothing is ever free - but not just the site but the wonderful inspirational people who will support you - that's included in the 'free' too!
-
I am a former WW too and find MFP to be almost exactly the same but free and much easier to use. You still have to weigh and measure but not have to recalculate everything into 'points'. That was what I could not do. Plus I find the MFP members to be more inspirational daily than the fake smiles from the meetings where I…

I think admitting having a problem with food is hard. The pounds just don't show up overnight. However, knowing is part of the battle to change. I know you posses the strength to get through the goodies you bake for your family and friends. I will be praying for positive results for your procedure on Thursday.
-
I feel your pain and is how I got to be 309 - while I have only come down to 291 I am thankful I don't do this anymore although the temptation is still there. I did the same thing with order for 3 people at McD's stop at DD and eat most of it before I got home, or if it was lunch time and everyone was at work/home I would…

I have about 95lbs to reach my goal and I am need of a lot of motivation - I am on daily logging my food journal and try to respond and motivate daily. I don't just want a ton of friends like FB - but serious motivators who will tell me where they think I did something wrong/offer advise and motivate me (with respect). I…
-
Alright everyone - the month is coming to an end - I know we have all done a fantastic job and looking forward to reading the results. If you didn't get to the 5lbs please do not feel stressed or angry because it is just a number and you may have changed a bad eating habit or fit into something you have by crazy to wear…

I am finding my weight has gone up and down the same 2lbs ... and feel like the last 3 weeks have been a wash. I am wondering if I need to eat more to loose weight instead of eating less. Especially the days I workout twice making my daily burn over 1200.
-
some people just do not tolerate vitamins - I had a hard time finding one that did not make my son throw-up or get a belly ache from. I truly believe not all vitamins are made the same and are for everyone.
-
Sending a request - motivation from others really helps in the weight loss genre lol....I cannot have a lot of sugar either. If I eat sugar (candy or whatever) even staying within my calories my weight loss slows down. Anyone can add me - I motivate and check in on you when you haven't logged in.
-
Has your friend tried taking 1/2 the tablet in the am and 1/2 in the pm or taking with food?
-
So - how did everyone do? I accomplished the goals with a bit of a struggle but hey it's a new week. I am heading off to do a quick errand and then to walk - since my ankle is still not in running order my C25K is on hold...grrrr.....I hate injuries! Look for Week 4!
-
You can add me - I will send you a note if you pop up with a 'have not logged in for 3 days' too. You can do it!
-
Where do you live?
-
Great way to stay positive. My running is currently on hold right now until my ankle heals. I choose to stay with Zumba because I enjoy it so I wear a brace and do not do a lot of jumping (nothing a little 800mg of motrin won't cure). Keep up the great work!!
-
I have tried the Centrum but for some reason the vitamins gave me a headache. Do you split your vitamin and take half in the am and half at night? I heard this helps - actually on Dr. Oz (I used to watch all the time) he said this is what you should do to maximize the vitamin - I take all mine at once only because I would…
-
Good for you to run outside. I go to Planet Fitness and enjoy the scenery - maybe you can find a pal who has a memeberhsip and tag along (if you lived here I would take you). I literally have a half mile trail right across the street (like I am looking at through my living room window right now). The problem is I don't…

OK - so it is Monday and if you did not read my post this weekend then you do not know that I went completely crazy on Saturday. I was insane with the GS cookies and eating Captain D's. Well yesterday I did very well and will be on the road back to normalcy again today. Heading into a new week. Her is to a better week!

so how about those flappy arms we think aren't that bad - ugh I have been lying to myself!! today during dinner the kids and I were laughing about craziness and my son said something about how the bottom of my arm being lumpy when I raised my arm - gee thanks I was almost feeling good about coming from 309 to 291 (what was…

Hi Fixenheimer I can agree I would like to loose 100 lbs without pain and suffering while stuffing 'bon-bons' in my face all day. Unfortunately that way of thinking helped me gain this wonderful extra person I am currently carrying around. Starting exercise is hard at any age and at 41 (for me) it was really hard. I cannot…

We are heading into the weekend and I am sure many of us are busy. Here is a great tip - carry a water bottle to help avoid buying a soda and put a snack in our car/purse in case you need a little bite. Good luck and I cannot wait to hear the success stories on Monday!

what is 'itworks"?
