Happens to me for sure! Don't do what I have done recently though....I just avoided the scale and pretended nothing was happening :( Just being aware and making an effort to try is better than hiding in fear trust me.

I have a Boxer named Maggie :) She'll be 4 on Feb 13th (when you have kids you actually have to celebrate your dog's birthday!)

Everyone is different :) People will sit on their soapboxes and tell you your approach is "wrong" or not "sustainable" but in my experience, what works for one doesn't always work for everyone else. I support your decision if it's working for you! :)

LOL Bad is subjective IMO. Just like "better". We're all different!

I haven't had McDonalds in at leat 5 years....hubby and I made a "pact" (he lasted almost a year!) and I haven't given in yet. Sometimes we get the kids Happy Meals (it's a treat!) and I'm not even tempted in line ordering :)

I don't really care about what people think of me period. I'm aware we're all different and I'm aware people sometimes say things for attention. A lot of my friends say I'm lucky I'm this way - I happen to believe it's a choice :)

I try not to overcomplicate/overthink things :) If someone compliments me I say Thank You and take it! It just feels too darn good not to :)

If hubby can't watch the kids for my workout class, I take them with me! I think it's good to show them how we're being healthy :)

I have been on MFP for 3+ years now and look how many thread posts I have :) It's the way forums on Internet web sites work - MFP is not unique.

I got a really cute tattoo of a turtle on my lower back. Then a few years later I found out that getting on there is called a "tramp stamp". DOH!

I've been on the pill since I was 15 years old (minus a few years off to have kids) and I've never had any issues losing weight. That said, this past fall I started a new pill - Seasonale. A friend told me about it and I had to try it - it's a same dose pill that you take for three months straight, so you only get your…

Brilliant!!!!! I think I've been doing this to some extent...I've been losing weight and I haven't given up the drinking - that's for sure! :D

I don't have time to do it everyday so I'm just doing them when I can and adding up the days I do it before I get to the next level.

This.

Mine is open and I've never had a negative reaction to what I eat *shrug* I don't go on the boards that much though (I find them negative and frustrating)

If you want a boring eating plan and tons of gas - go for it.

I've been around for over three years but am always open to new friends! Feel free to add me!

Great thread - I can relate to so many of the responses BUT, I've been at this for three years (and years before that). I am no longer frustrated with how long this takes, I now know that eating right and exercising is a life long committment - the weight loss is BONUS. I know I'm going to get to a number (or look/feeling)…

I have a twin!!! I'm also June 23rd :)

Pictures and lack of energy - it's hard keeping up with two small kids when you are lacking energy! I also have to be in pictures...hate looking at them and seeing myself not looking the way I see myself in my mind.

I'm in the same Canadian Province although my kids are in a school board that's not affected (French). Essentially, the government approached all the school boards and asked them to make concessions within their Union contracts to save money. 2/3 school boards negotiated the terms and signed and one didn't (the big one,…

I completed Day 5 this morning and am looking forward to Day 6 tomorrow! I have two small girls that I have to get up and ready for school every day, then all the after school "stuff" we have to do as Moms...I needed something quick and effective that I could get done before they wake up in the AM. I'm up at 6am to do it…

I've recently asked for Kinect game recommendations! This thread is great! Thanks!

This is totally awesome! Look at the difference! I most love how your smile hasn't changed one bit, in all 5. Love love love :)

My family and I bought a paddle boat! So much fun - and exercise to boot!

"I'm Sexy and I know It!" :D

This is a great comparison pic! FANTASTIC job!!!!!!

This thread is torture!!!!!!!!! :D

Hahahaha! I love the last part :)

My running shoes. Having to get back in my car and go home because of my stupidity was unforgetable :) I also am in big trouble when I forget my sweat towel - I'm sweaty :)
