Yes! Pam ROCKS. Oh, and I'd like to add Jessica to this list of awesome female vamps...

YES. PLEASE. :flowerforyou:

Feel free to add me - I am on here all the time. I love to cheer on my MFP friends! :drinker:

Hi there! I am a SAHM mom of 3 children so I completely understand how you feel. It is SO easy to get discouraged when your day just doesn't go as planned! Between hectic mornings getting the kids to school, hectic afternoons chasing my 2-yr-old around, and crazy afternoons when the older 2 get home, some days it is all I…

^^^^ Me too! Red hair, brown eyes. Weird combo, right! I've only met one other redhead with brown eyes. I, however, totally have the personality - firey, with a pretty short fuse. :explode: Pretty shy until you get to know me! :blushing:

I'm also trying to lose around 30-35 lbs. I'm on MFP all the time as well - feel free to add me, and good luck!!

Thank you! Thank you! What a great site! Unfortunately, I just found out that the margaritas that I LOVE from our favorite Mexican place are on the D list!! :sad: Luckily I like to do Tequila shots - with salt and lime - so maybe I will stick to that... I don't drink too often but when I do, I definitely take advantage of…

I am also hooked on MFP. (Sounds like a drug or something, right?? There should be a support group for recovering MFPers :wink: ) Facebook is old news. People get made fun of for posting workout tips/workout updates on FB... who needs that?? I'd much rather be *here* !!

I agree with the rest of the comments - walk until you can safely exercise. Think of it this way. If you try doing too much right now, you could heal incorrectly and then be laid up even longer. Take it easy for now. I know how difficult it is to wait but it will be better all around in the long run. I would also just try…

I used to use way more than 2 tbsp of hazelnut creamer in my coffee (I like a little coffee with my creamer :wink: ) but now I am watching my sugar intake. Just this week I switched to half and half. Turns out the coffee tastes way better with less sugar! If you still want a sweet tasting coffee, why not try flavored…

I am very quiet also and have just recently started to add "friends" on here. It does help quite a bit to have that support system in place, even if it is from perfect strangers! Sending a request to you here momentarily! :smile:

Hey there. I am also watching my sugar and carbs - just started watching carbs much more closely today. I am not going crazy with it, just eating a little less than I normally would! I have been watching my sugar intake for a while now and just recently switched out a lot of things in my diet. I used to dump buckets of…

Yes! That's it, exactly - slow and steady is the plan! I've lost weight before, fairly rapidly, and every time, I gain it back. This time, I am trying to slowly change things and I think the weight will STAY OFF!! Thank you for the support!!

Great job!! I can't wait to break free from the 180's!!!

Still hovering right at 182. :grumble: Very slow progress here. Planning to try even harder next week!! I know it's my food choices for sure.

Congrats on making the choice to do C25k! It's a great program. I am in week 8 and absolutely love it. I have found that if I stretch before and after my run, I don't have much soreness at all. I have not had problems with my calves - mine was my shins. I found some good stretches to do to help with soreness through a…

Add me too if you'd like! :flowerforyou: I am a 33 year old SAHM of 3 very energetic kids - 7, 5, and 2. They keep me very busy. Hubby works full time, loooong hours, but I still manage to squeeze in my workouts! I am a new runner, in wk 8 of Couch to 5k, and I LOVE it! I have also done Insanity and Turbo Fire but still…

I have many reasons why I started this weight loss journey. For one, I am sick of being overweight. I was a skinny stick in high school - never weighed above 105 or so. I do not want to be that thin - just thinner than what I am now!! And another thing, I hate seeing myself in pictures. My friend took some pictures at her…

Sounds goooooood! Thanks for sharing :happy:

I'm with you - short term, just want to lose the damn weight each week. Long term, about 32 lbs. I wanna hit 150!!! And then, of course, re-evaluate when I hit that mark. Most important, though, I want to be healthy! Cuz healthy is HOT. :smokin:

Challenge accepted :wink: But I should warn you. I run FAST when someone is after me.... (mostly cuz I'm a chicken and seen waaay too many horror movies)

Me! Me! :flowerforyou: I am 5'7 and my goal is right @ 150. Started at 187. Weight as of 10/20=182.4. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

This made me Laugh out Loud. I could totally live on cheese....... Long live the cheese!

Hi all! I'm Rachael. 3 Random facts: 1) I secretly LOVE to sweat buckets while I work out. 2) My guilty pleasure is watching reality tv. 3) I could eat pizza every night of the week for dinner. Looking forward to "meeting" everyone else... :drinker:

In my opinion, the best way to lose weight is to watch what you eat! Gradually add in whole grains, fruits and veggies. I say gradually because if you try to overhaul your diet and immediately eat healthy, it will backfire. Been there, done that!! The first time I lost weight, I cut out EVERYTHING! No sweets, no pizza,…

*fist pump* YESSSSSSS!! :bigsmile:

LOVE this group - you guys are awesome! Pick me, pick me! I wanna join! ;P Seriously though, I could use some good motivators. I have a few MFP friends and they are great... but I need some honest, funny people to help me through this journey. Second time around for me too - lost weight @ 6months ago, gained it back.…

Definitely try out C25K! I am in my 7th week and I LOVE it. I have never been a runner and C25K takes it very slow - alternating between jogging and walking at first - and then working up until there is no walking, only jogging/running and you can run a 5k. It's all at your own pace, too. It's a wonderful program!! And it…

Lots of supportive people here on MFP. Sent an "add friend" request :happy: so add me if you'd like!

The one thing that has worked for me is to just get my workout out of the way first thing! I have 3 kids and let me tell you, they take all of my energy! After a long day with them, if I have put my workout off until later on when they are in bed, I just don't do it. I'm way too tired and lazy. But if I get up early in the…
