Ugh! People are killing me by writing "tamarrow" ! It's tomorrow people...really it is - I swear! Look it up! Use auto correct - something -anything!! LOL!! :laugh: I am so happy I am not the only one out there bothered by this stuff...

I do slimfast after I exercise in the morning and I make my own shake. I do it cause 1. It cools me down and 2. It's CHOCOLATE! LOL! It gives me my chocolate fix I need for the day : ) It makes me happy so I drink it. I hear people tell me how terrible it is etc but I love it and it's keeping me from bingeing on chocolate…

No one said anything to me either until I asked why not? The response...well your clothes are so baggy no one can tell. Well duh! They're baggy cause I lost weight, lol! :tongue:

You watched Dr. Oz didn't you? Everyone is always looking up stuff after his shows! It's just amusing to see how wide of an audience he affects with his tips :happy: I thought about trying one cause - ofcourse, I watched Dr. Oz too! LOL!! :laugh:

Yes, I agree. Any friends who have tried it did indeed lose weight quickly - but put it back on plus soon after. If you want to lose weight it has to be a lifestyle change - not a quick fix. It may work initially but it doesn't stay that way so you end up wasting your time and money. Good luck to you :flowerforyou:

Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue!! We're Not Gonna Take It! - Twisted Sister Authority Song - John Cougar Mellencamp (or whatever he calls himself these days) Tubthumping - Chumbawumba I like it loud and fast, lol! :laugh:

I try to eat enough of them back so that I don't get the "you're eating too few calories" message when I finish up my day :wink:

Why the pity party? You're only human - as are the rest of us. Some days/weeks are extremely hard...but you know what? You CAN do it! Don't waste time feeling bad - get up and get back to it so you feel better! Exercise releases feel good hormones - so go make your mouth and your heart smile! :heart:

Everyone has a different view on this. It's really up to you and what you think you need to log it as. I myself do not log anything unless it is an exercise I set out to do intentionally - otherwise I just count it as normal daily activity. I figure the worst that can happen is it gives me a little unintentional wiggle…

I think it's unrealistic and also kinda mean of your hubby to say that. Why are you being so super strict? Do you plan on being like that for the rest of your life? If not then you're pushing too hard and may set yourself up for failure. Slow and steady - and realistic - win the race. Plus, the more weight you have lost…

Now if only he'd fix his hair he'd look great! LOL! :laugh:

I do what I call a "free" day on Sunday. I don't exercise and eat whatever I want in moderation. It helps me because if I am having a rough day during the week I just tell myself - you can make it till Sunday! The further I go the better I do at behaving on that free day too. I have noticed I don't crave the bad stuff as…

Not being disrespectful or mean, but I am getting sick of people trying to make me feel bad for the choices I make and the things I eat. Yes, alot of the things I have eaten aren't very good for me and I know it. But it's my choice to shove it in my mouth. I have been working very hard to lose weight and be healthy - I…

You know, some people may have something bad to say but not me. I have come to realize if I deprive myself of things I love that eventually I will lose it and binge. I am on this journey to make myself healthier and to feel better about myself. This will be a life long journey and if I don't learn how to manage what I am…

I adore my Zumba! I do it 3-4 times a week atleast!! Makes me smile! :bigsmile:

Great job! I often look things up before I eat them now - some things are just way crazy in calories, fat or sodium...and I never realized it before! :noway:

Great job! Keep up the good work!! :flowerforyou:

Just don't stop! You're doing an awesome job!! You've lost 10 pounds now aim for 20!! Every 10 pounds can be a mini goal to reach...every time you make it you will fell great about yourself and you'll notice the changes happening to your body. YOU CAN DO IT! Hang in there!! If you need a cheerleader and a friend feel free…

I'd have to say Jacob because I bet he loves to be rubbed and pet....Edward is a dead, cold dude - ewww....LOL! :laugh:

You can add me! I'm getting closer every day to my 2nd mini goal which is 50 pounds lost....Any encouragement is greatly appreciated and given back as well! : ) You're doing a great job!! :flowerforyou:

With the baggy panties and baggy pants are coming wedgies from them being so sloppy - when I stand up my butt crack sucks the loose material in...LOL!

I CAN SEE MY TOES WHEN I'M STANDING UP STRAIGHT!! :blushing:

Thanks everyone! I so needed all of your encouraging words!!! :flowerforyou:

I use all the negative comments when I am feeling like I can't go on....when I'm in the middle of a hard workout and I think "I can't do this anymore - I have to stop"...I remember all the mean things everyone has ever said to me and it gives me the extra oomph to keep going! :wink:

Workout on the elliptical in the mornings and a dvd workout in the afternoon - watch what I eat, drink lots of water and stay motivated!! Checking in on MFP and my friends helps me out tremendously!! : )

I am still trying to lose baby weight. I have a 9 month old and 4 other kids as well...I have been preggo a total of 9 times. I just added a little on each time until now I feel like a beached whale! I'm gonna do this though if it kills me!!

I just take a pain pill (prescribed by my Dr cause I have endometriosis and PCOS) and double up on the leakage protection and power through it. If I am super tired and in pain I may just do a shorter workout that day. I still get a workout in but don't kill myself to do it :wink:

I'm trying for 150...

I have alot of baby weight to lose...I have had 9 pregnancies and I have 5 children...10, 8, 5, 4 and 9 months...you can add me!

Not me...had a hell of a hangover this morning :drinker: LOL!
