Hi! My husband and I are TTC our second child, our daughter will be 3 next month and we sadly miscarried in April. I was doing pretty well with the help of MFP before my (surprise!) first pregnancy, gained 40 while pregnant, then 80(!) over the last few years. :( I'm now working on my health again, have lost 24lbs in the…

Great job! :flowerforyou:

Man, I need to do this for a quick, healthy, and filling breakfast since I work at the crack of dawn 5 days a week. Thank you for posting! :happy:

Great job on your success so far. Keep up the good work! :smile:

Great job on your success! :drinker: Damn TOM... I'm seriously considering skipping my weigh-in tomorrow because of the total junk cravings I've had the last few days. I don't even want to look at a scale right now.:noway: :grumble: lol.

Yes! That's a good one to move to.

I find that techno and rap gets me moving more than what I usually listen to (metal, reggae, oldies...). The tempo makes me want to MOVE. Lady Gaga also does the trick. That's the only reason I have some of the music I have on my iPod! :)

I'm very much looking forward to summer! I'm much more active and eat less in the summer. I walk everywhere and go hiking, camping, and swimming. Plus, I don't have much of an appetite when I'm hot. :happy:

Sounds delicious! I'm about to go shopping so I can make this and the mahimahi tonight. Thanks for the recipes :smile:

Dang, I'm 5'0 and I don't even look good at 98lbs! I personally prefer a healthy, lean (and, on me, curvier) look to a stick figure look. Which is why I'm aiming for more like 115-120. My aunt is about 5'9 and MAYBE 130lbs, skeletal skinny and has no muscle mass and SHE thinks she's fat!!! I feel sad for her. :frown:

Another oil with beneficial properties comparable to olive oil is avocado oil, which has a very high smoke point. I'm going to have to try out grapeseed oil though. Thanks for the tip! :happy:

That is so sweet! Way to go, being a good daddy. :smile: Thanks for the encouraging words, I know you made a MY day a little brighter. :happy:

Thank you!

Very nice! :laugh:

Welcome! You've taken a step in the right direction by joining MFP. I find the site very helpful and the motivation and support from the other users is awesome. :)

Hmm, I'll have to look into that, sounds like the kind of book I would read. :laugh:

Hello. :flowerforyou: Well, you've come to the right place! MFP is the best tool I've come across in helping me lose weight. I've been using the site for 20 days and while I've only lost 5lbs, (still building my willpower and kicking myself in the butt to exercise more :blushing: ) but I FEEL better and healthier just from…

I do weekly weigh-ins on Mondays and monthly measuring on the 1st. I just can't wait to see what (if anything) I've lost!

Lookin' good! Wow. :happy:

Hmm, interesting replies all around. I especially liked the post that said they notice it in their smile. :smile: I have only lost 5lbs, but I feel like my face looks thinner. I mostly want it to show difference in my tummy! Argh! That's my main problem area, then my legs, then my arms in that order. I don't think my butt…

Thank you for saying what I think every day! :happy: That's one of my major pet peeves.

5' nothin' :)

Similar situation with me. I'm 5'0 and 215. People would never think that I weight that much though, because I have a large frame and, while I do look chunky, I don't think I look obese.

Welcome! :smile:

Thanks to everyone for all of the advice. I think I got a little better prospective on things. I think I will take Sunday off from my normal exercise routine; since I clean house on Sundays (not light cleaning, either, I have a pretty big house to clean), I will probably burn some calories anyway. :)

Awesome! My feet are up to almost a 7 because of the amount of weight I've put on in the last 2 years or so; so maybe when I lose a good amount of weight, I'll go back down to my usual size 6? I've been a 6 since I was 12 years old and had to go up a whole size when I gained a lot of weight. I'll be happy to wear those old…

I think you look fantastic! Great job on the weight loss. You probably just need to maintain and tone, that's what I would do anyway. But the decision is all yours. Have a great day! :smile:
