  • Oh man I totally feel your pain. I suffered with infertility for years, I have taken fertility drugs and been to the best Drs. I too have always been overweight and never had a regular cycle. I was lucky enough to finally have a baby 8 yrs ago and count those blessings everyday. Since I started My Fitness Pal (truly…

  • I would strongly suggest some counseling for yourself and then you an your husband. This happens in many marriages when one person has any major change in their life. This is not a healthy mindset for either of you, especially wih 2 young kids at home. Stick with MFP and seek some counseling and you CAN DO THIS!!!

    in What was your wake up call? Comment by smsummers August 2010
  • I try to stay anywhere from 100-200 calories under my goal each day. If I was you I would treat myself to something that you feel like you have been deprived of since starting this program. I love MFP because although you do not want to get into the habit of eating bad stuff, every once in awhile you can save up your…
