PS SEVEN kids!? You have me beat at five! Go girl!

Welcome! I think you'll love it! I started a few weeks ago and I've made it a part of my daily routine......love it! I'll add you!

SW 237 CW 234 Three pounds this last week!!!!!!!!! So excited!

It's a week late......but, this flu is gone and I am out walking! Daily goal is 30 minutes to start. Today I did it with a 30 pounds kid on my shoulders! Lost three pounds total this week! MFP doesn't count it because I gained two pounds the first week of working out though. I'm happy I lost them again! lol

You look amazing! How much weight did you lose?

Short answer....protien and fiber! I don't know if it'll work for you, but here is an example of what keeps me full on a typical day :) Example for breakie: Toast with peanut butter or oatmeal Egg Grapefruit Water Snack: rice cakes and apple and water Lunch: Huge salad, lots of greens and veggis and some chicken breast…

WoW! That can be such a tough decision. Sounds like it was really unhealthy for you to have her in your life. Funny how so many of us, once we start to get physically healthy and kick the old habits.........start making more emotionally healthy choices as well! Best wishes to you on your journey......and as the member…

I'm loving MFP...the more friends the better! We are totally here to encourage each other! Sending a request! How are you feeing right now? In the sense with what are you struggling with currently?

great post!

The calorie goal is probabley high (sounds really high) because of the amount of weight you have to lose, you are male and I'm guessing a bit tall? If you go onto my friends list, I have a friend named REman. Look at his food diary. Add him as a friend and talk to him. He just reached his goal and has a great diet that…

What is your calorie goal?

Why are you only eating 4 times a day? Six small meals is recommended. More whole grains and water will help :) Maybe theres a few snacks you love that are a healthy filling choices :) What is your calorie goal?

I've been on MFP for one week and have gained two pounds! I have been doing strength training and am not too discouraged as the last time I lost weight, I gained five pounds in the first few weeks. A challenge sounds great! If I keep gaining weight, I may just start posting measurements in desperation! SW 237 March 31st GW…

What an insane difference in a short time! WAY TO GO! How did you do it!?

Thanks for posting this. I've got response, but out of time tonight!

Thanks so much for sharing! It's so great to see others diets and it's encouraging too! Way to go, as well! For breakie I eat whole grain toast with a banana and peanut butter! Keeps me full!

Incredible! Great job! What did you do?!!!

I'm in! My first challenge....excited! I will think of a good goal for me, for the first!

When I started working out (last time), I gained five pounds in the first three weeks, So discouraging! But I kept pushing and went on to lose 60pds in five months! I gained alot of muscle the first few weels which increased my weight, but then it burned more fat in the long run. My suggestions, more fruit and vegis, more…

Found it! If you go to enter an exercise, search under CARDIO, for strength training and it works it out! The other stuff I put under Calinethics :)

I'm working on the best way to enter it right now!!!! lol

Ugh, I feel terrible logging if I've gone over, but I do :) It's a bit of a slap on the face and keeps me honest and accountable.

What a difference in 30 days!!!!!!! How many inches, do u know? What's your routine?

You are not rambling! I just started thisweel and am finding there is some really supportive people on here. A great community! I tried lots of diffeent things too, in effort to lose weight quickly. I finally clued in, I lost 60 pounds in 5 months before, I can do it again! I just ate things I loved, that were healthy. I…

Hmmmm, what about trying (don't know how to spell it) Medimucel? Or a bit of prune juice? Taking a good amount of Vitamin C will do it too! lol Plus it's good for you!

Welcome! I just joined and started dieting as well :) I'm 29, Mom of 5, 235pds, with a goal of 150.

I just joined this week and would like to make some friends as well :) I'm going to add you. Kinda cool, we are in simular situations. I'm 29 years old and 235pds. So what are you doing for working out and diet?

Totally encouraging! Thanks for sharing, you look awesome! What a big difference with just 30 pounds. Hope u r uber proud!
