Returning to MFP after a few years. Previously successful, but gained all my weight and then some back. Need to get back into healthier habits. This Lent I hope to let go and let God. Pray for the strength to stay on track spiritually and physically. Get back to regular cardio and strength training. Need to lose lbs for…

I've been in this boat for a while. I lost approx 25 lbs and I finally got pregnant, but miscarried over the summer. Dr. thought if I lost weight, my blood pressure would lower, but no such luck. The bp meds I was taking caused me to lose hair so now I'm just trying to lose more weight in hopes it'll finally help. Good…

Hi! My name is Susan and I'm a native of Portlandia. Would love to connect with other MFP locals out there. I definitely need support in the area of motivation. I've lost approx 30 lbs in the past year, but I've been at a plateau for the past 3 months or so. Feel free to friend me! :)

Happy Monday everyone!! Hope everyone is doing great!! Haven't had a chance to get caught up on everyone's updates, but hugs for those who need them and high fives for those who earned them. :) AFM ... I'm going to Vegas this weekend and I'm happy to say that I'm gonna be able to wear clothes I used to fit into!! :) The…

Everyone is so awesome! Thanks for all the encouragement and tips. I just get competitive with myself and beat myself up when I can't do something I really wanna do. I just have to keep in mind that I need to keep trying and that I have improved. It may not be as fast as I'd like, but it's not about speed. It's just about…

Hi all!! Sorry I haven't kept up lately. I hope everyone is doing well and moving that scale!! ASM ... I've broken through my plateau and lost 3 lbs!! I increased my water intake and that seemed to be the magic trick. I don't exactly get how that helps, but I'm drinking water like crazy and visiting the ladies room an…

You're telling my story! Except I dunno about what percentile I'm in. I'm half way to the goal that my doc recommended, but I'm trying for a little more. Wouldn't mind building my core so that when I do get preggers, I'll be able to push that baby out! :)

that's so awesome! you're doing a wonderful job!

I never had nightmares, but I did have "bad sleep" as I call it. Not really scary, but weird dreams that I would remember when I woke up--obvioudly never completed those REM sleep cycles. If you google nightmares and Clomid, there are a lot of people who seem to experience that, so I guess you aren't alone... but boo to…

I'd really like to adopt one day. DH and I have discussed it and we're going to adopt whether we have bio kids or not. Unfortunately, we can't do it right now as the funds are non existent. An adopted child may not be born of your body, but from your heart.
-
My husband is the same way. I don't really get it. Brown rice does taste different, but if you keep eating it you don't really notice the difference. At least that's how it is for me. I don't miss eating white rice all that much and that's major especially since I'm Asian. haha I'd rather eat brown rice than no rice at…

No change in weight this week. Bad week. Going through a custody dispute and I have to give testimony tomorrow. Feeling really stressed and I haven't made the time to get to the gym. :( Not to mention we're kinda broke lately so it's hard to buy "good" food. We haven't done fast food, but I've been eating the heck outta…
-
Sorry I didn't post my weigh in yesterday. No change. :( I gotta figure how to get going again. I'm glad weigh ins aren't today because I'm up a couple. *sigh* I gotta get back on track. But the thing is I wasn't even off, but I gotta do something different. Anyway...Hope everyone is doing well.
-
I love those kids, but they are teenagers so there are times when I wanna lock them in their rooms and throw away the keys. haha But for the most part, they make me smile. I had an HCG done a couple years ago and there are no blockages. Since I've lost some weight, my cycle has started to come every 30 or so days now. I've…

GUILTY!! I don't like hearing the tummy growling at me so I have to feed it. Last night I got out of bed at 1 am for a snack and I couldn't get to sleep until 3 am. *sigh* It needs to STOP!! I don't get home until 7:30/8 pm, so my cut off time should be 9. Oh man! That just made me sad! haha I need to try though.

Hi all!! So excited to have found this group. My name is Susan and I've been married to my DH for almost 4 years and we've been together for a total of 9. I'm 33 going on 34 this summer. I have 2 gorgeous teenage step children (I prefer to call them bonus kids, but no one seems to understand what I mean when I say that). I…

I used an elliptical yesterday cuz all the treadmills were taken. Not too bad. Still got my sweat on! ;)
-
Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a great week so far. I can't seem to break through the 160 mark and I soooo wanna see 150 something. I'll totally settle for 159.9!! So I've ramped up my workouts to 2 a day with Turbo Jam in the AM and elliptical/treadmill work in the evenings. I feel good, but I'm SORE SORE SORE. My…

Who would've known that my guilty pleasure of toast and jam before (sometimes IN bed) was actually doing me some good!! THANKS!! :)

Haven't posted in a while cuz I haven't been able to fit my TJ into the schedule. I used to do it when I got home at night, but it kept me up late and I couldn't fall asleep. And I'm not a morning person, but I finally got it into me to get up and do it before work. My left bicep is killing me for some reason and all I did…

I'm there with you on the mind getting bored part. I think that's my problem. I don't know how to occupy my mind while I'm running!! haha Every other minute of the day I'm thinking of this or that, but when I'm running my mind goes blank and I feel "bored". I think that's why I haven't progressed much in W4 cuz I'm bored…
-
I've never done this before. Hope it works!! *crossing fingers* Good luck everyone!! Thanks for putting this together. 0326011041 by hunnyluvsjorge, on Flickr

Did I squeak in before the deadline? I need some additional motivation lately and maybe this is it. My brother's birthday will be in about 12 weeks (which reminds me I need to think about a gift) and I'd like to be able to feel comfortable taking pictures with him. We don't have to have our feet in the picture, do we? I…

I attempted W3D2, but I was really low on energy and I couldn't pull through. :( I'll have to try again tomorrow. I think it has to do with my diet. For whatever reason, I haven't been eating like I should. I was so good about it and now I suppose my body is in starvation mode. For whatever reason, I just don't remember to…
-
Thanks for sharing! Hope that last 1.5 pounds just melts away soon! :)
-
I'll give it a go! I'm trying to lose around 15 lbs before my trip to Vegas in May so I might as well try to lose 30 by summer! It would be so great to buy a whole new summer wardrobe! :) ADD ME!!!!!!
-
Lookin good!! LOVE the dimples! :) Keep up the great work, beautiful! I agree with danamfinn. I know I'm making progress, but when I see people that haven't seen me in a while they think it's a drastic change. I'm like "It's only 15 lbs and I have so much more to go!" But it does give me some encouragement to keep going. I…
-
Good luck! I'll add you to my prayers. I know exactly how you're feeling. I had a really slow start and I even gained weight so I got discouraged and quit within 2 weeks, but I decided that I wasn't gonna give up and I tried again. I re-started on the 1st and I've lost a total of 6 pounds this month alone. I originally…
