As far as doing what it was supposed to do for me I'd have to RAVE about it! :-)

Thank you all for the advice and encouragement: #1 I did not know I had "settings" on the diary. So I set it to "friends only." So if you want to see my food diary please friend me. #2 Confession- I've been very bad about logging my diary accurately. So if you look at it before today, then don't expect anything pretty! I…

Thank you for all the replies. Some great suggestions, too.

Hahahah! That's great!

Snuggles. And a conversation.

The best part about seeing your body transform is watching your face... no matter what weight you are, your face is appealing! So happy for you and your success! YOU LOOK GREAT!

What's on tap for me today? TAP! That's right! Thursday is tap dancing class day and I can hardly wait! I'll be checking in with MFP all day, gleaning support for cheery people like you, get kids off to school, clean the house, practice some tap moves before going to class (I don't like to embarrass myself in front of the…

ACK! I didn't know we could add "breastfeeding infant" on our exercise/food log! AAAAAACK! Go me! I get an extra snack tonight! LOL!

Hello! I have a nine-month-old (he's the youngest of six children, ages 8 and under, no twins) and I'm still breastfeeding full time, too. I was concerned about that when I joined this site, but I figure if I go over my caloric intake only a little bit that it's okay, as long as I'm eating healthy and my milk supply is…

HEY! She DOES kinda look like LeeLee Sobieski! I love that actress. She rocks.

Thank you for the inspiration! After three days of being naughty with eating way over my goal I'm needing some encouragement to get back on track. You look wonderful! And I love your picture- "real women have curves" :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the suggestions. They're great! I have a hard time on Monday nights because I have to collect all six of my children, and my MIL, drive to a meeting, and feed them, and meet my husband... and I'm just GRRRRRR by the time I get to my meeting! BUT, there's a track between where I drop my family off and where I go…

I feel the same way today. I came to the message boards to see if there was anything already written on emotional eating. But it's too late for me, I already went 200cal over my daily goal. Not so bad considering my daily goal is about 500cal less than what a breastfeeding mother should be on, so I have wiggle room. But I…

You look healthy! Keep up the great work, and thanks for today's inspiration!

You looked 30yrs old. Now you look 18! Amazing what 20lbs can do! Good job!!!

Unfortunately, yes. (read my first (only) blog entry) You are SO NOT ALONE! The more open I am about my struggles with depression, the more women come out of their isolation and say, "Me too!" The worst of it is that I'm born with an upbeat, excited, happy personality. I don't even know who I am when I'm depressed because…
