Great job!!!

I am actually going to use MFP to its full potential. I met a lot of goals last year but nothing really having to do with my physical body. I think it is time. I am going to get a bike and bike to work. I am going to eat a lot better. Grow a garden. This needs to be the year that I get healthy to start the family my…

Have you talked to your husband about this? Maybe he is the one who needs to say something.

I had to stop because of my knees...and winter. Then I started to take glucosamine daily. It helps tremendously. I have a 5K in May that I better start training for.

I do some fruit kabobs.

I am sort of in the same boat Kim. I want to have kids but my husband says unless we are healthier and able to care for kids without having to sit down and use an oxygen tank (which is a huge exaggeration, but I get the point) he doesn't want to. I found out last month that I am type II diabetes which can be controlled…

I agree, I have a little bit of an allergic reaction to sucralose and aspartame. I have to stick with a more natural sweetener.

Thank you everyone. I am hoping they go away too. I am tired of having to come home and just go to bed in the dark. I have recently been prescribed some other drugs, but knowing the side effects...I am not willing to chance it anymore. I am scheduling an appointment with naturopathic doctor to see if there is anything they…

Ya know I am one of those who say that I am going to workout at home...and then sleep in extra or have "other" things to do at home. I find that when I have someone to keep me on track and at the gym I am more likely to workout. I like to workout at the gym. I usually can show up the skinny people. Sometimes that makes me…

Hello my name is Nikki. I am 32 from Montana. I am newly married and can't wait to have children with the man I have been blessed with. Unfortunately, due to my weight and my family history this has been a problem. My doctor wants me to drop a significant amount of weight. I am excited to meet some people who are in my…

That sounds like a great challenge. Is it going to be complicated to keep track of? :glasses:

That's good info. Three times a week it is. Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your advice. Not only do we get to take the classes with the kiddos but we also get use of the entire sports complex, which is a plus because it is literally across the street where we live.

I agree. See your doctor. Mine would cause me to flow heavily...really heavily and longer. If they get really bad you could start bleeding at anytime. I went to work out one night and was not fine afterwords. Again, if you have these irregularities you should really schedule an appointment. It could also be your body…

I have been taking belly dance for about a year and half now, but since I got married I had to stop because life has gotten in the way. The beginning of the year I am heading back. I miss my shimmy sisters. :)

Getting out of financial debt or ahead is a must. I might look into the idea. :)

Good for you!!! You know what...I am right there with ya. Thanks for the inspiration. I am a big girl and I am gonna do the 30 day shred tonight. I went 10 days last time and I will complete the whole 30 this time. Take that Mr. Huff and Stuff.

They told you WHAT!?!?!?! That is insane. A child can gain wait a healthy way. Unreal.

It's tough but it can be done. This is exactly where I am. Welcome friend. :)

I feel you. I am totally that way too. Trying to remain calm and not tear into anything like a beast...but I feel that Beast coming.

I usually have non fat greek yogurt with some berries.

I don't drink diet pop. I tried this stuff called Zevia, but I am not cut out for pop anymore.

Amen sister! :happy:

Good for you! You earned that bikini! You rock!

Aweseome job. I look forward to seeing your final results too.

2.83 for today 3.83 for yesterday

First of all good job on the 15 pounds! As far as the excuses go, I use to do that too. However, I don't think anyone can say for sure. Only you can tell us if you are making excuses. Maybe a quick 15 minute walk around the block or do it first thing in the morning so you are not so sore from the legs at the end of the…

I know exactly how you feel. My thin friend has the same problem though because she is big busted, but what do you do. I think the duct tape out chaff but not 100% sure :wink: I have to go to places like Wal Mart and Target and search. I also double up my bras for extra support.

I was listening to Jillian Michael's podcast on this subject. She says there is no such thing as a plateau. What is happening is if they are actual pounds that need to be lost you need to look at your calorie deficit to see if it is feasible. If they are vanity pounds it is going to be harder because your body is where it…

I will join!
