I have 100 lbs to lose. I'm breaking it into smaller chunks so it doesn't seem as daunting. I want nothing more than to start my family but I know I can't start until I am at a more healthy weight, not just for myself but for the baby I will carry. Feel free to add me!

Walked a little over an hour today. Hooray!

Best of luck to you Ash! Hope this one is the winner!

Hey there! I'm also trying to lose weight so that my husband and I can start our family. Feel free to add me :)

Walked for 40 minutes today :smile: 2/3 for the week completed

Got my 30 minutes in today, not the way I had planned but it works I guess. I was on my way to pick up my husband from work and had planned on a walk with him after he was home, stopped at the gas station and my car decided it was time to die so I had to walk home. Stupid cars LOL

Bumping. I wish threads you comment on would show up in a 'my topics' like it used to.

I'm in! This is great, I have been doing baby steps to lose weight and get back into the swing of things vs. jumping all in and burning out after two weeks. Last week my goal was to quit coffee & soda, and this week was to go for a walk 3 times. :)

Oh I have a fitbit! It's been collecting dust (bad, I know!). I'll dust it off, charge it up and slap it on and come back to post my user ID :)

Hi, my name is Liz 1. I'm 30, married, no children as of yet although I hope to start my family soon, I live on the west side of Phoenix, AZ 2. I weigh 247.5 lbs =( I originally started MFP in 2009 and had a lot of success. Ended up injured and fell off the wagon and it has been a struggle ever since. 3. My final goal…

I'd like to join! =)

PS - I love your profile pic. Are you the bride? If so HIGH FIVE on an awesome picture and what probably was an epic wedding. Love it!

You mean besides running around in the rain like a crazy person? No? Just me then. Ahhh you must not be a desert dweller who longs for rain. Think indoors.... skating rink? Bowling? Throw on a workout video? Go old school and play hide and seek? I try to look forward to doing things on the weekend, like bowling playing…

Sell them on etsy! Win win!

Awesome! Congrats on reaching 1 year quit and a new healthy you!!

Thanks MesaFL! I'm going to have to check out that book now. =) End of the month isn't too far away, you can do it! I tried cold turkey in the past, it doesn't work for me... I must be weak or something because after a few hours I was shaking, crying over nothing and my lungs hurt so bad. :laugh: @GenoPrice - Grats! 2…

Lock up your food and try to be mindful of what your hands are doing!

Oh wow! Glad you are turning things around! You can do it! I've been smoking for 13 years (plus another 6 off and on). Tried to quit many times, and started back up after family emergencies. This time I'm determined to make it stick no matter what! I'm using the patch to quit. So far so good!

I would act surprised and say something like "Huh, wow... that would explain why my pants are falling off me!" "I guess thats what happens when you have lots of sex!" :laugh:

I hear ya! I originally joined in 2009 and did great, lost a good 25 lbs and then got smacked in the face with an injury. Needless to say I totally fell off the wagon and gained it all back plus some! I have tried to lose weight since and just ended up yo-yo'ing around in weight because I never could keep the motivation…

Feel free to add me! I'm just starting off.... and will be starting slowly as I am quitting smoking at the same time. But as soon as I have a handle on that I will be ramping up my weight loss efforts as I want to lose roughly 50 lbs by July/August and start trying to conceive a baby. ;)

Hi there! I am new(ish) and looking to lose 100-110 pounds! All of my clothes are too tight, even the size 20 jeans I got for Christmas are barely fitting... and I desperately want to start a family with my husband. Time for change! Feel free to add me!
