Well, 4 was a good number for me...but I just got granted custody of my sister's 5 kids, so I'm going with 9!! Crazy household but I'm loving it. 6 boys, 3 girls which includes a set of triplets!!! We're busy around here that's for sure!

Oh YEAH!!!

I'm in if there is still room!

Great infomation! When I do my harder work out in the morning I have a protein drink and add my oats into it. Fills me up for the long swim session I do and gives my body the added energy it needs to keep going!

I agree - I get up at 4am to swim. I have my protein shake with oats at about 4:15 and get to the pool at 5:00. I swim for about an hour and get ready for work. Shedding the weight and seeing those results make that early morning rise all the better. It helps when you like the workout you do. I couldn't do it if I had to…

WOW!!! I'd love to see your food and exercise diary! I'm off to friend you!! That's AWESOME!

I was thinking of getting the DVD. If I can get it today I'll start with you tomorrow!

I weigh everything! I have to. The nutrition counselor was very specific in how much food I was supposed to eat. I weigh everything in grams and yes, the portions are SMALL!!!

Sigh, I need a twin... Age: 45 5'3.5" SW 280 CW 259 GW 140-150

I like this! I'm in - I've got lots of time to be in the gym this week - I'll try the elliptical again - it kicked my butt last time, but I'll try it again! WHY NOT?!?!?

Feel free to add me - I'm around too!

I will do a cheat meal that is high in protein and carbs and low in fat. Plus I add in a reasonable dessert. Mmmmm...saving mine for Monday evening!

I've been using Walden Farms Ranch and Honey Mustard. 0 calories, 0 fat, 0 carbs...tastes like diet dressing, but I'll put up with that to save everything else

Good morning all! I unintentionally took most of the weekend off since I had access to MFP only through my phone and that can be annoying when posting on the boards. I'm ready for the week to continue on though!!! I'm doing some kind of exercise daily for the month of May - well starting today, yesterday was a bust for a…

My favorite exercise of the moment is swimming. Not that I'll be doing it any time this weekend! UGH....going away and won't have a chance to do much. But come Sunday evening I'll be at the pool and I'm committed to make May Fitness month for me. Some kind of loggable fitness every day for May!!! Have a great day friends!

@Sarah that WAS hyterical!!! I on the other hand had only good things to look at at my pool yesterday!!! WOW the muscles on this one dude....sigh! So, Thursday motivation....sorry right now I need - SO if you have some to spare I would appreciate it. I'm not giving up - not even close to that, but I'm frustrated and my…

I won't do the shred because...well I won't do it. But I was going to commit to going to the Y every day in May so I'll commit to the 30 day part. I'm warning you though I need accountability and sometimes I lie!!! Lol!!

@Mrs...I'm all for being held accountable. It's been a crazy week of no work and hanging out with kids. Routine comes back tomorrow....awwww...who's kidding who, I can come up with a million excuses. Until I make myself a priority nothing will change! @rebecky - that scale is messed up and if they really want to do a…

So, today is whining Wednesday...not sure that I really have anything to whine over - well maybe my husband but I'm tired of whining over my husband!!! LOL I can let out some frustrations and a bit of a confession - I'm frustrated that I can't get on board with exercising and I'm eating FAR too little. I really can't bring…

You ROCK!!! congrats!!

I am SO trying this and I LOVE your profile picture - you are beautiful!

Good Tuesday morning friends! I figured I'd start my day with you all instead of fitting you in. I've added a bunch of you as friends, but if I missed you PLEASE friend me! So, Tuesday recipie/food...well, a friend of mine and I have been trying to find cool ways to use cauliflower - it's actually become a bit of an…

HI!!!! I'm not ignoring you I promise! Kids are on spring break and I'm off of work so I'll be on less then usual. So I'm just checking in - I weigh in on Fridays - I was ummm...269ish I think! LOL I'll remember later. I'm not exercising like I should UGH need to get into it - I'll be at the pool tomorrow though, gonna hit…

Good morons friends! I'll spend some time hanging out with y'all a bit later but I wanted to share a cool NSV. I sing. I've been singing for years and years. Lately with my church's worship team and in the car/shower! Well in the last couple of years I've struggled with correct breathing and would have a hard time…

Well, my plans fell through for the weekend and I'm thinking about going back to the gym for some running on the treadmill - maybe some practice in the pool?? Maybe I should just watch the 100 tv shows I have piled up on my DVR waiting for a night just like this....what to do???

Hey everyone!! My real name is Sue and I'm so glad to be here! I'm 45, married for the 2nd time with 5 kids, 1 is a step son, but he's mine in every sense of the word! I was hanging around 250 for the longest time and within 3-4 months added 30 pounds to that. When I saw 280 on the scale I panicked and found this place. I…

I had the same issue when I first started. I'm sleeping muuuuuch better now!! LOL

Years and years ago I was in a bar - this incredibly cute guy walked up and said "so can you tell I shaved my moustache off today?" I was hooked for 2 years!!!

Sorry, don't mean to laugh but hahaha....that's totally ME! I just keep plugging away and thank Jesus I'm in my living room!! :laugh:

I agree - make your food diary public so we can see it - then we can help you.
