Young child environmental educator!

Add me! I'm serious and it sounds like we have about the same weight loss goals! i've been on for 75 days and have lost 20 pounds with at least 50 to go!

Oh the funnies...

Love it!!

We are almost exactly the same size - and I've had weeks where I'm not losing but my clothes fit better. I've had success with the fitbit - and even with walking 10,000 steps a day, I don't burn more than 450.

This one million votes for this and loosing !

These are amazing words - thank you!

Body types are so different! 206 - Size 14-16 5'7"

Congrats!

This is a great topic! I have about 70 pounds to lose, and I've split it into 25% increments with mini goals along the way. I love my fit bit because it shows me how active I've actually been during the day and tells me when I need to do more. I've also set other ones - under 210, under 199, etc etc.... It gives me small…

THIS!

I am mother of three - one with special needs and also work full time out of the home. I walk at lunch, I squeeze gym time in between work and home ( seriously, I run in and run out). 30 minute DVD workouts ( Jillian Michaels is great) - I bought a trailer for my bike for my two year old on a yard sale site and pedal…

The biggest things that have worked for me: Plan, plan plan - Plan your meals - plan your going out meals If you can't plan, watch your portion sizes. Move more - even if its just walking or a 30 minute DVD workout - its more than what you were doing before. More veggies, less carbs. Allow yourself to have things you want…

Walk walk walk - its the best thing you can do!

I found that the P90X Peanut Butter bars have been the best for me. I'm not a Beachbody fanatic or anything but they taste the least like anything remotely good for you. :):smile:

Yay! There are shorts that I bought last year that I brought them home and they were too tight - I remember being soooo angry. This year, they are falling off of me and will need to buy new ones soon! Very very exciting - oh and yeah - I want to wear shorts!!

Sushi sold at gas stations!! What?!?!?

It tastes even better if toasted with a little coconut oil and curry powder before cooked. You can also use half water and half chicken broth to give it a deeper flavor. The first time I tried it I didn't realize that you had to cook it after you toasted it. >_< BLECH!!

Congrats! Yay you!!

I commend you for trying to medal in your first race - however, you should look at previous time for that specific race, understanding who will be entering. The 8K ( 5 miles) that I attended recently had people in your age category that ran that race right at 30 minutes (6 minute miles). I encourage you to think about…

Have you tried Argus? It's an app that has a pedometer built in ( I have a fit bit and the steps are almost identical). It also tracks food and includes a heart rate monitor. It's a pretty nifty app!

I don't like being hungry. It doesn't make me feel good. Just angry. And hungry. **HANGRRRRYYYY**

So what did you eat before you started MFP?

I would agree with the food scale - it makes a huge difference - mine lives on the counter now! Also, take measurements and look at the measurements along with your weight - that might give you validation if you are not getting it from the scale!

I prefer lovers gonna love :heart:

One of my favorites! Spinach Soup! http://voices.washingtonpost.com/mighty-appetite/2009/06/meatless_monday_spinach_soup.html

Have you done the calorie breakdown on it? It sounds amazing!

I was deleted - and I have no idea why :sad:

So what the heck is wrong with my settings that I can't see the photo?

Yup yup! Please add me - I'm definitely of that stream. I just like knowing what you're doing!
