Hi guys! I am still here at MFP, but so busy my message boards are suffering a bit. I start student teaching on Monday and I am feeling panic mode! LOL The most important thing is I am keeping up with my friends and logging and exercising. I made a 20 pound loss today and I am 9 pounds from being under 300!! Kara, I don't…

I am here. I just posted an update in the other thread. Hanging in there. ;)

Hi guys!! Sorry I haven't been around the forum. Still doing my MFP routine and friend support. I start student teaching on Monday, just got the call on Wed for my assignment and I have this huge nesting syndrome going on...wanting everything organized. I will be full time with a teacher and going to classes two nights a…

Wow Pat. What an amazing accomplishment! Congrats. I did a beach ride with my husband a couple of weeks ago. I feel bad that I hold his pace back, but I am glad he encourages me to exercise. We did about 7 miles and it kicked my *kitten*! LOL But I am enjoying riding more with a new seat that doesn't have the middle pointy…

Karen...You are too funny! I had a good day. We went to a kids birthday party and I wasn't too tempted. I had some street tacos to eat, better for me than the pizza. I gave in to about 15 mini jelly beans and a small taste of my husbands twinkie. I didn't eat the cake or the candy from the pinata or anything from the…

Hi Megan. My fertility success is in my ticker. ;) Blessed with 2 beautiful babies. I lost 133 pounds to have them at 267. If you are having regular cycles without birth control that is a great first step. When you are ready to try to conceive there are ways to track your cycles for ovulation. Getting your body healthy is…

I added my name on sheet #14 (next available) and the Hunter Green color. I don't know how to put the information on my sheet and also coincide it with the leader board. If anyone can help that would be great. I am going on vacation, but want to start inputting my stuff when I get back. ;) Thanks to whomever can help. Shari

Hi guys! I know I was just invited in and leaving on vacation tomorrow, but I will be back! Love your spirit and camaraderie here! Looking forward to getting to know you better. Happiness for me: My family. My kids are a gift and I never take them for granted, and my husband is my best friend. My first summer off, starting…

That would be awesome, and thanks for the tip on boards from my phone.

I just did my intro, invited by Karen. I just wanted to say what a cool chart and challenge. Can't wait to get in on the next one. ;)

Hello Ladies! Nice to meet you. Thanks to Karen for the invite. I will try to give a quick version of me and my journey. I am 42, married for 11 years to a great guy...and we have been blessed (with much effort) with two beautiful children that are 4 and 6. My highest weight was somewhere over 400 pounds. I could not get…

It is probably the birth control that kept both in check. I have lost weight, from 400 to 267 at one point, and I still have issues with facial hair. It is because we have more male hormones, hence the reason we also gain weight in our tummy area. If you could go back on birth control that would probably help, even if you…

I have tried a lot. For me it is just 'doing' something. I am on a 1500 calorie diet. I have a food addiction, so I just have to stay on plan. Period. Start something and adjust as necessary. Think of it as a life long eating plan. For me it is about my health (diabetes and pcos) Eat to live don't live to eat...that is my…

Just wanted to say welcome. Wondering if you are trying to lose weight to control your symptoms?? Good luck and you aren't alone in this. :)

I remember the feeling oh so well. I got married at 32 and we tried for 5 years. I had my first at 37 and my second at 39. I am truly blessed. I have PCOS and my husband has super low sperm counts. I had weight loss surgery as well and got from 400 to 267. I was on metformin. I did rounds of clomid/insemination too. I…

Welcome Ruky! Hmmm. I only ever had dark patches of skin during the time I was on one type of birth control. The name escapes me now. I had it for 2 years and as soon as I went off the bc it promptly went away. I have cysts, thinning hair, skin tags, belly fat, insulin resistance. My cycles after having kids though are now…

Actually no. Thank God! HYE heard the song, "have you ever" by Brandy?? lol
