Wow! Keep in mind its easier for you to lose weight than it is for your exboyfriend to grow a heart. Glad you got rid of him. You deserve much much much better. Wishing you best of luck.

I'm in my 30s and have 2 little kids. My husband works a different shift than I do, I don't have family near by, and, like you, life pretty far from a gym that offers child care. I know how difficult it is to fit in time to workout. I've found that the best time for me is during my lunch hour at work. I hit the gym at my…

I had all 4 of mine out 5 years ago. I took me about 3 days to be functional again, but a good 6 weeks to fully recover, however, my situation was a little worse than normal - my teeth were fused with my jaw bone and had to be sawed away. I lived on yogurts, oatmeal, and soups. After that I never wanted to see oatmeal…

Potato Chips! I've managed to substitute the regular kind with the baked version, but its not the same. I miss them :sad:

To each his own. Don't get all judgemental. And, please don't assume that I feed my kid junk - I don't feed him burgers, tater tots, pizza bites, hot dogs, etc. However, if the only way I can get him to eat meat or veggies is by mixing it in with pasta then that is what I do. I am highly against the whole, only eat what I…

If you have a kid that is willing to eat everything, then you are very lucky, and I'm jealous of you. I've tried the whole, "when he gets hungry enough, he'll eat" route and it just doesn't work for everyone. Not that I support feeding your kids junk, but "diet" food just isn't going to cut it for a 3 year old.

Completely agree that I stay fuller longer if I eat something with protein like egg or egg white for breakfast. Also, I have small snacks (fruit or granola bar) between breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Helps me get through the day.

I love the flavored seltzer water - like the black cherry or raspberry flavored Vintage Seltzer. They are zero calories, sugars, carbs, etc.... If you try different brands, just check the label because some brands add sugar or sweetener. Here is a link to the nutritional info, which shows that its full of a whole lot of…

Wii Sport Resort is fun. Some of those activities really get you moving.

Hi, I'm 33 with 2 kids as well (3 year old son, Charlie, and almost 1 year old daughter, Bella). Its not easy doing this with kids. I have about 30 lbs to loose. Welcome to MFP its a great place to get motivation and encouragement. I just joined last week and love it. I'll send you a friend request. :-) Good Luck on your…

Good luck on your journey. This is a great place. Everyone has been so supportive. I know its not easy to stick to a plan when you have a litte one taking up all your time. I myself have 2 kids (3 years old and 11 months). Feel free to friend me. :-)

This place really keeps you motivated. Feel free to add me :-)

Hi, welcome. This is a great place to get motivated. I've been on here for only 5 days, but am addicted to it. Feel free to add me as a friend :-)

Welome! I've been on here for 5 days and love it. It really helps keep you on track. The other members that have become my friends have really helped motivate me. I don't want to be the only one not posting a workout or not meeting my goals, so sharing my goals with others really pushes me. Hope it does the same for you.…

Its a great site. I love it. Really good for motivation. Best of luck to you.

Hi, welcome. I'm pretty new too. This is my first week on here. Feel free to add me as a friend. We can help motivate each other. :smile:

Hi, welome. This site is great. Add me if you would like :smile:

Hi, and welcome. I just started yesterday too. I'm loving this site. It and everyone on it is so helpful. We can do this. :-)

Thanks so much, everyone. I just got a couple of the Jillian Michaels DVDs. But I'll check out some of the other ones that you recommended. I know that PX90 must be amazing because I lost 20 lbs in 8 weeks several years back using the original version Power 90, but I just don't have the amount of time that you need to do…

Hi, welcome. Congrats on your engagement.

Hi, your story sounds so familiar. My husband is a bottomless pit when it comes to eating and he won't gain an ounce of weight. Its so frustrating because I can look at food and gain weight. Good Luck. See you on here.

Hi, welcome. Best of luck.

Thanks Everyone! this is great

Good luck.

Hi, welcome. I'm sure you'll meet your goal. Weddings are great motivators. I wish I could look today like I did at my wedding :happy:
