This site is great for keeping you accountable and helping to motivate you/pick you up when you need it. I've only been here about a month, and wish I'd found it so much sooner! I'm on every day, and love to help and be helped. Sending a friend request now. :smile:

Hi, I'm Donna. I've been on here for a few weeks and have been logging faithfully every day and plan to continue to do so. I love to meet new people who are in the same boat as me and know I'll need some motivation at some point. Therefore, I'm trying to find friends who not only need motivating, but can motivate when…

I've been on here a few weeks and have learned a ton already! Add me if you'd like another friend/motivator. :)

Congrats!

You can add me as well. I've lost 10 lbs so far and am just shooting for as many as I can lose! I'd like to get to 165 at some point, but I'd be thrilled if I could go down a bit further than that! I love motivating and getting motivated, so anyone is welcome to add me. I'm still a bit new, so don't have a lot of friends…

Have you tried kinesio tape? It helps keep parts stabilized without constricting them. I use it for my knee during dance classes and it's been great!

Yep, I'm one of those too. I went from couch potato 3 months ago to working out hard 5 times a week. I even drive to different clubs most days in order to get all my workouts in doing the classes I like. It's a bit of wear and tear on the car, but it's worth it. I used to sleep until 10am every morning, now i'm up before 9…

I've only been on here a few weeks and only started working toward my goal a couple months ago. It's slow progress, and there are definitely ups and downs, but I'd love to have a friend or two to join me. :) Please feel free to add me.

Just because you order something big and yummy at Carl's doesn't mean you have to eat it all. You spend the same amount whether you eat it all or not, so save half for later or the next day. You can also order without fries (just the sandwich) and that's a step in the right direction. I've only been on MFP for about 2…

I suffer from a lack of iron absorption, so I need to take Vitamin C with my elemental iron pills. The doctor seemed to think it would both aid in absorption as well as in avoiding the constipation issues. So far, after about 18 months of taking these together, I've yet to experience any trouble with that particularly…

I have one tattoo on my shoulder blade that I got for my friend who passed away from breast cancer. I'd like to get another once I get to where I want to be on this weight loss journey, but I may be too much of a wuss to do it. I figured the tattoo I got was something I'd never regret, so I went for it. That's the only way…

Another couple good web sites. Not all the recipes are healthy, but there are a lot of recipes on each that are. http://www.keyingredient.com/ http://www.myrecipemagic.com/home/recipes I've tried a number of recipes from both sites and have been pleased with all of t hem so far.

The class is called Pachanga Latin Workout. It's kind of a cross between Zumba and kickboxing. Tons of cardio, some Latin dance moves, and core strengthening all in one. It's a blast and right now, it's only available in the Denver area. I sweat my butt off (literally and figuratively) and have a ball, even though I felt…

Just throwing this thought out there; you can take it for what it's worth. :) It might be that she's embarrassed. She knows there are things in her life that need to change, just as you knew that. The difference is, you made the changes and bettered your life. She hasn't done that. Perhaps she's a bit ashamed that someone…

I'm new here and just happened across this post, so I thought I'd reply. I'm a 40DDD and had a heck of a time trying to find a bra that not only fit, but didn't look hideous in the process of keeping the girls under control. lol I ran across a few at Lane Bryant, and have't looked back since. They're attractive bras, and…
