  • My experience with most guys I know is that they would rather have fitt and butt ugly than fat and beautiful. But I do not agree and neither does my husband! I know alot of beautiful big women and they get passed over so many times just because they are big! I can't count how many times I have been told that I would be…
  • Amazing jog. Your story is such an inspiration to me! Sometimes I just want to give up and feel like I just have too much to lose, but then I see people with the same story as me and it is really inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing your story! I had a total of 110 lbs to lose and and I still have 75lbs to go and it seems…
  • I love the frozen lean cuisine pizzas, especially the spinach and mushroom! It is my more healthy way of eating my fav food: PIZZA!
  • I do all my working out by myself and I like it that way. I do workout videos, which I love, and I use my treadmill, lift weights all in my own home! It would be more fun with a friend but I am doing this to get healthy not for fun. Also, I can't afford a personal trainer either and I wouldn't worry about him. He was just…
  • I had surgery on my big toe nail last Monday and I have not exercised either. I am too scared to make it hurt worse than it already does. I am not going to risk it until there is no more pain. Hope your toe feels better soon!
  • I agree with you. I personally get frustrated here on MFP and in my day to day life with questions like "What's the trick to losing weight"? or "What's your secret"? There is no trick and there is no secret. Losing weight the HEALTHY way is hard work but it can be done. It takes time and effort and I wish I had the will to…
  • I was finding myself super hungry before lunch. Then I would eat my lunch too early and then by the time dinner came around I was starving and would over eat at night. What I decided to do was to find more filling foods for breakfast and lunch and some filling snacks throughout the day and then I would not be starving when…
  • I can see a difference, especially in your stomach...keep up the good work!
  • It really depends on what your starting weight is. I was overweight when I got pregnant and my doctor only wanted me to gain 10-15lbs durning my pregnancy and I only gained 11lbs and my daughter weighed 7lbs 9oz. I also had gestational diabetes so I was eating very healthy through out my pregnancy and my baby was healthy.
  • I work for a plant that manufactures and warehouses pickles. It is hard to say if my job helps or hinders me. I spend some of my time at my desk, but I also keep inventory of all packaging materials and ingredients so I walk (and sweat) a lot. I also have a huge warehouse that I can walk around when weather is not…
  • I am 5'9" 1/2 and I hated being tall growing up. I felt like a giant compared to everyone else! Plus being overweight did not help that feeling. When I would tell people how much I weighed (which was not often) they couldn't believe it because when you are tall you can carry a little more weight than someone short. I would…
  • Come to think of it I have been super cranky lately myself. I though that it was just me though. But, I have had a hard time trying to kick it too! If you figure it out I could surely use an answer myself!
  • I went to a baby shower for a girl that I did not know. It was my Aunt's daughter in law. I gave a cute gift and ate some good food and I won a nice candle playing one of those crazy baby shower games! But, if you are the type that would totally feel uncomfortable, I would not go and put your self through that. Just give a…
  • I had the same problem with my hrm last night. It stopped working in the middle of my workout and it is so frustrating because it distracts me from my workout and I get aggrivated because it is saying I am burning way less than what I know I am!
  • I am so happy for you Amber!!! Keep up the hard work!

  • I had one a few years back and I had to have some pre-cancerous cells removed and I have not had another one since then. I am not trying to scare you because I was super scared when it happened to me, but when I started telling people about it I was told by a lot of other girls that they had to have the same thing done and…
  • What an inspiration you look amazing!
  • What is it for?
  • I am at work, but only cuz I need some extra money, this is not an every Saturday deal:)
  • I love pizza...it is my downfall and these look amazing...totally trying them!
  • You just have to try something and see what works for you. I find that in regards to exercise I need to enjoy what I am doing. I find work out videos fun and entertaining while getting a workout! I LOVE kickboxing and did not know it until I tried it! I have a treadmill and always wanted one and now I do not use it much…
  • I don't take one once a week but, when I do have one it is usually to go out for dinner and eat what I want for that one meal.
  • I totally agree here. My daughter eats candy very rarely and soda is almost never. But, on holidays when candy is around or given I let her have it in moderation. She is 4 and she needs my guidance to show her what and how much is acceptable. I am overweight, have been my whole life, but candy didn't do it to me, eating to…
  • very informative, thanks:)
  • I have about 95lbs left to lose and it seems like such a long journey but not with a good support group. Add me if you like.
  • Have a small piece or just have ice cream. I had to go to a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese with my daughter and so not to offend the family I ate an ice cream cup and I felt better because I ate something and also because it was way less calories and fat. If you choose to have the cake do an extra workout. That's just…
  • I read an article a while back and I have been told by my doctor that if you do not get enough sleep you can become overweight or gain weight. When you are tired and don't get enough sleep your brain sends signals to the part that controls appetite and makes you feel like your hungry even if you are not. If that makes…
