MFP has certainly been a learning experience for me. We went to order Chinese food the other night and I looked up ANY Chinese food that A) I liked and B) was low in calories and voila, there was NOTHING!!!! It's all so high in sodium and calories. So I had an eggroll *sigh*

OMG I just noticed that TODAY! There was a time when the whell would actually hit my belly, not anymore! It's the fact that I really need new underwear because mine are loose around the leg and saggy in the butt Love that I am losing my butt!

I look at my ticker and I think "run girl, run faster to that happy place!"

I agree with Sonja, thanks to MFP I can keep track of those bad meals and make up for it with excersize or oatmeal for dinner or something. My "bad days" are when I see how much weight I've lost (which is good) and how I have had to work at it and then look at how far I have to go. That can really get me down. I try to…

I have been putting all the leftovers from their plates down the garbage dsposal RIGHT AWAY..lest I be tempted.:wink:

I love all of your posts. It's the little things that add up. As I was reading them I realized I have not had soda since the end of December AND I DON'T MISS IT! Huge calories there. My big little thing tonight was that i did not eat anything "extra"...finishing off the kid's plates, finishing off what was in the pan. So…

Hello fellow life changers and Twilight lovers. I have been on MFP for 2 1/2 months and I LOVE IT!!! I have lost 33 pounds. I love how it holds me accountable for ALL the food I eat. My goal is to lose 70 lbs by my birthday which is June 14th. Eclipse is my birthday present as well as the weight loss. I know this is a…

The console (Wii System) is $199 and that comes with one set of nunchucks and a remote. The Wii Fit Plus can come as a bundle with the balance board. They have it at Target for $99. I have thoroughly enjoyed my Wii Fit +. My kids and I use it to do Body Tests which keep track of your weight ( mine is off by about a pound)…

We have different stresses and they afeect us in different ways. It's the ongoing stress that age us. The unhappy marriage, goofy kids, financial worries that age us and make us choose unwisely in terms of eating. The short term stresses like dinner for 100 or graduation are actually good for us. It puts our focus…

I understand where you are coming from! I have been a mom and wife for the past 14 years and there are days that I just want to be Carole and be only responsible for myself. That is one of the reasons I have decided to take control of my eating. I was just kinda floating along and not taking care of myself. Now that has…

def the free step. I do it for 20 minutes. Now I do it with the risers and I am sweating. Kids think it's funny. mom's sweating!!!!

I have lost almost 30 pounds in the past 2 months and am very proud of myself, but I have another 100 to lose. I also have the wii fit + and use it Alllllmost every day. My issue lately has been dwelling on the 100 pounds I have to lose and getting a bit overwhelmed. I need to take it one day at a time but sometimes I…

I LOVE breakfast and find if I have a good one, I am not very hungry until after lunch. I don't load up on dinner, just have a lean cuisine or something. My daily calorie intake is supposed to be 1,700. I have 500 in the morning, between 500 and 600 for lunch and then a snack and then the rest for dinner.

i have tried to just not have any. I understand the all or nothing mentality, I have NO self control! Went to a banquet the other weekend and sure enuf as soon as they put that chocolate mousse in front of me, I inhaled it. And it was awful! It was dry and gross, but I ate it anyway. The hard thing is that we have some…

My husband was good enough to give me the raiser for my balance board for Valentine's Day. Now I think he is trying to kill me. I did free step yesterday with it and IT HURTS!!!! But at least I am getting a serious workout!

Yikes ! I just looked and my sodium is set at 2,500 mgs. Guess even that is too high. Gonna have to change that too.

Thank you so much for all of your input. I have been going out of my way to not eat out and to eat non-boxed foods. I am sloooowly weaning myself off whole eggs with eggbeaters. So far so good, but still... I am drinking my water and will no doubt cut out the pretzels from now on. I wish mfp let you keep track of all of…

I would like to join your group, too. I have recommended Wii fit + to all of my friends esp ones w/kids. My kids can spend HOURS on my wii fit. It's such good excersize for them and it also makes them aware of their food intake and excersize levels. they are young, (10,8,6) but with obesity running so deep in both of our…

LOVE my Wii fit + I use it everyday for at least 30 minutes. I usually burn off between 250 and 300 calories and it has made a huge difference in my body tone (which was toneless before). I have lost 23 pounds and have 130 more to go and wii fit + is my only excersize (except chasing children, cleaning,etc). I have bone…

I, too have only been doing this for a little while, but since I am all in I decided to follow their recommendations for calorie amount. I have found since making that decision that I have been having a hard time eating all the calories allowed without eating stuff I really "shouldn't". I have a 300+ calorie breakfast, a…

Loving my Wii Fit Plus. The kids even do it with me. It actually makes them aware of body issues and they encourage me to workout when I might not feel like it. I try to work out everyday for 45 minutes with the step and then watch tv with the free step. Man I can feel those yoga moves,too...ouch!

Congratulations on your weight loss. You must feel fantastic! I have 150 lbs to lose and I am just getting started. I feel lighter but have a ways to go. You are my hero!!!

That is EXACTLY how I use Alli and I have never had a problem. I don't take three each day, only one or two and I usually have low fat meals the rest of the day. No gross stuff here.
