Hello all!! My name is Anna. I am 34 yr old, married and mother of a four year old son. I work full time and is a caregiver to my mother that is battling stage 4 lung cancer. The first six months of all of this I was having a hard time with keeping on track. Last week, I started to get my mojo back. Lost the 5-7 pounds I…

First I am very jealous. I really need to move to a state that has more sunny days and warmer weather. Haven't decided what my munchkin and I are doing. Probably something outside. I love to take him swimming. Or to the park.

Going to try my hardest. Stop making that excuse that it is HOT outside. lol

Challenges are fun. I need a challenge. I need a swift kick in the behind. :smile:

Congrats on the new baby. Enjoy it now. They do grow very fast. My husband did the same thing when our son was born. We both work full time and the only day we all are together is Sunday and Monday when I get off work. As soon as I would get home, my husband would just let me feed him and bathe him and put him to bed.…

I can relate to you on this subject. I started in October 2013 at 240 and is bouncing from 213-209. I can't get passed that. Personally, I have had a lot of emotional stress happen since December of 2013. My mind are on other things or just not there at all. I have a soon to be 4 yr old son. He has so much energy that I…

Thank you all for your kind words and advice. Mamacoates- I guess I was thinking that the 1200 calories was the max calories I could eat in a day. I really need a lesson how all this works. So basically, I should be eating a minimum 1200 calories? Logging house cleaning. I thought I was supposed to log everything. I try to…

I am right there with you. Cookies are my weakness. Been feeling unmotivated and unsupported lately. We can be friends and motivate and support eachother. I am usually on here everyday so no worries that I wouldn't be there.

I am in desparate need of support and motivation right now. Help!!!

Thanks, now I want bacon!:laugh:

Just don't beat yourself up. That will make it worse. I have that issue sometimes. I have to learn that the next decision has to be a better one. Yesterday was yesterday, a day in the past. Keep your end goal in front of you and you will be fine. Best believe you are not the only person that has had this before. Good…

Is there a plain greek yogurt out there that isn't very tart tasting? I have a recipe for a mixed fruit sherbert that calls for plain greek yogurt and I tried Oikos and the yogurt taste over powered the entire thing. Thanks:smile:

Hi there, We can be buddies. I started MFP almost two months ago and love it. Send a friend request. Good luck, you can do this.

BMR?

Sound wonderful. What city do you live in?

I am in the same boat. Before starting this, I had only lost about 6lbs and only one person noticed at work. Granted I see these people almost everyday, but sometimes it would be nice to hear "hey you look great" or the genertic "have you lost weight"? Every woman loves to hear that even if they are not even trying. I hope…
