Yup--same here! My hubby told me recently that he is proud of me because this is the longest I've ever stuck with it in our 16-year relationship: I have see-sawed up & down for years! That little comment made me feel GREAT! It wasn't until being active on MFP for about a month that I really "got it." It's great having…

Just wanted to point out that some medications can also contribute to bad breath issues: allergy meds, anti-spasmodics & some antidepressants (just to name a few) can all cause dry mouth and/or bad breath. I try to combat it by drinking lots of water & keeping sugar free gum & breath mints on hand at home & at work. Good…

Welcome Lacey! I'm 5'8" and also have an ending goal weight of 150. I also have had thyroid surgery & have low thyroid w/ supplemental meds. Since April 1st I have lost 38 lbs so far (my ticker shows 36 since I didn't know about MFP for the first few weeks of my journey). MFP is an AWESOME site that keeps me motivated &…

Welcome Mya! I also have hypothyroidism & take meds to stabilize the hormones. This can be done with a lot of work & patience. Just hang in there & keep on keeping on! This is a GREAT site with lots of moral support & advice that has kept me going longer than usual before I give up & gain it all back. I'm not gonna do that…

WELCOME! :flowerforyou: This has been the most wonderfully supportive & informational site to me! I've lost 30 lbs since April 1st & couldn't have done it without all the support here. I have a long term goal to lose 100 lbs myself! Feel free to add me as a friend if you like & best wishes on this journey! Would love to be…

WOW! Thanks! I make a similar concoction for lunch sometimes minus the egg & adding baby bella mushrooms. I also use grapeseed oil. Never tried it with the Pace Picante sauce either. Hmmm...grocery store here I come! LOL! And LOVE the Harley--used to ride with my dad (he's now passed away) when I was a teen & LOVED it!…

Thanks! This sounds GREAT! I'm gonna have to give it a try one evening when not rushed (a non-workday perhaps)! Sorry about the scared little pup though! :ohwell: Thanks for sharing your recipe with us! :flowerforyou:

Welcome to MFP! I also have a goal to lose 100 pounds! I started at 250 & want to be 150 (or less). I currently weigh 222. I am a working, married mom of one & would love to have you as a friend on this journey. Feel free to add me if you like! You can do this! MFP has been such a wonderful tool & source of support for me…

Welcome! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! MFP is a wonderfully positive site which has helped me lose almost 30 pounds so far (since April). I just now am getting into size 16's & 18's so I know where you are. Feel free to add me if you like--would love another friend on this journey! I used to hide food in my desk & stress eat A LOT!…

WELCOME! I've been on MFP since mid-April when a friend suggested it to me (started myself on diet & exercise routine on April 1st) & it has kept me going with wonderful support & advice. I am a mom of one also! Feel free to add me as a friend if you like--would love to be your friend during our journey of fitness! Best…

This happened to me at first too. First of all, it takes time for your body to adjust to new changes & you may have gained a pound of muscle, which is a good thing & will rev your metabolism. Secondly, I changed my profile to include sugar counts (in your settings tab) after seeing no results for the first couple of weeks…

Happy Birthday, pretty girl! May your birthday wish come true! :flowerforyou:

Hello & welcome! :flowerforyou: This site has been so encouraging for me. I'm a married mom of one who recently found another job (start Monday! YAY!) after 4 1/2 months being unemployed after 19+ years of working full-time! I used my extra time to focus on me & make myself a priority while looking for employment. The…

I also enjoy the Atkins Peanut Butter Fudge Crisp Bar. It's not really dark chocolate, but has the peanut butter-chocolate combo that is to die for & is high in both protein & fiber while being low in sugar. I seem to struggle with trying to keep my sugar levels low enough here on MFP, especially if I eat any fruit that…

Hi & Welcome! This site has been invaluable to me with both supposrt & advice! I have lost weight in the past only to give up & put it all back on. This site has made all the difference! It encourages me to keep going & I know that when I slip-up or have a bad day I can start over & my friends here will understand &…

Thanks all!:love: Just checked the prices on-line. YIKES!:tongue: Too much for me! Maybe I'll buy a cheapie Danskin 5 lb one at WalMart afterall! :ohwell:

Great job! I also have a skinny jacket I'm hoping to fit into soon! YAY for you! Congratulations! :flowerforyou:

I use a Digestive Advantage product called Intense Bowel Support, but they have several formulas including Sustenex. I buy it at WalMart for around $8 for a one month supply. I have noticed an incredible improvement in my IBS symptoms & I have also not gotten sick nearly as much as I used to while taking it, including…

I don't use Twitter, but sent you a friend request here on MFP. Would love to have another friend on this journey! :)

Hi and Welcome! I am a married mom of one & have found the support & advice shared on this site to be PRICELESS to me. It helps me to be accountable for what I eat & inspires me to exercise more too! Plus it's kinda fun! Glad to be with you on this journey & feel free to friend me if you'd like! :flowerforyou:

I LOVE the Biggest Loser Yoga DVD! It's NOT easy--gives you a great workout & stretching all in one. I always feel great after I finish it. Best wishes! :flowerforyou:

I'm in! We all wanna shake that booty, right? :wink: So that's 20 squats an hour for the next 10 hours. Getting going right now! :happy:

My 23 year-old sister used it & ended up having 2 strokes. When tested, her estrogen levels were 3 times the normal limit. Please be careful using the NuvaRing.

On Biggest Loser they also exercise for eight or more hours per day! They do not have to worry about jobs, kids & all the other responsibilities of every day life while they are on the ranch. Oh, and they have access to their own personal trainer(s) constantly! In "real" life, we do not have that much time to devote to…

Think I did this reply & quote thing wrong--please excuse me as I'm going through the withdrawal right now. Quit taking Paxil & doc tried switching me to Effexor which just made me sick, sick, sick. Now quit both & the withdrawal symptoms are absolutely horrible! Dramamine helps a bit with the dizziness, but now I'm just…

We all struggle with motivation--Lord knows I sure do! And you're not weird to need some help along the way--this journey is not easy by any means! I sent you a friend request! :) Oh and Welcome to the group! :happy:

Welcome! I totally understand how you feel as do so many other wonderful people on this site! MFP has helped me SO MUCH with understanding not only how much to eat, but what my body needs as far as protein vs fat vs sugar, etc. I was introduced to this site just last month by a friend from highschool who contacted me on…

Well hello & welcome! This site is awesome with all of its tools & positive feedback/support. Best wishes on your journey with us & feel free ti friend me if you'd like! :flowerforyou:

Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga DVD is low impact, but VERY powerful! I always work up a sweat doing it & although it's not so much of a cardio workout, it balances it out working on building muscle & building endurance. Make sure you get a cheap yoga mat to do it on though as it is challenging and your feet will slide…
