Anyone a fan of haunted houses for Halloween? There are two pretty scary ones here in Ohio; the original Mansfield Reformatory has a haunted prison experience…

I haven't written for a few weeks but am really inspired by how great everyone is doing in the past week. I have really given in to a lot since I got a cold a couple days ago. WillLift4Tats, you are awesome at inspiring everyone! I love the workout you have with your pup where you run to the river, swim, then jog back. I…

Can't seem to get my ticker to display my mileage. Any help would be appreciated. Ran: 2 miles - 10-2-14 1.25 miles - 10-5-14

Hello. I just found this and think it's an awesome idea. I'm still fairly new to running and brand new to this site. I like a couple other people's idea of 31 miles in 31 days. I joined the group and plan to follow along. Thanks!

None of you ladies have to feel that you are the only ones not losing while breastfeeding. I have also been struggling with this for eight months now. Actually, the longer I nurse, the more weight I seem to gain. I contribute this to a few things; my age (I'm 44), my weight (191 lbs.), and my unhealthy eating habits…

Thank you so much for all the kind words. It was so nice to hear your perspective. Everyone in my family is thin so I always feel like the oddball; fat and out of shape. It is so nice to hear someone say that I am doing good because I am logging what I'm eating (despite what it is) and that I keep trying. I agree with you;…

Help WillLift4Tats, I sent such a positive message yesterday and it almost sounded as if I can control my snacking but last night I was up until 1:30am with the baby and ended up eating at least 600 extra calories (maybe a little more) after midnight. If I would have stayed in bed, I would have been under my calories and…

Thanks for thinking of me. I stay up late for several reasons. Stress is a big one. I have a teenage daughter, an infant son and really no time for myself. Everyone else goes to bed early and I'm still up doing dishes, doing homework or taking care of baby, dogs, housework, etc. When I finally relax, I usually sit down…

Hello, I just found your topic and hope you don't mind if I reply. I am also petite and breastfeeding. I'm 5' 3", 191 lbs. I didn't gain that much at all with my son (who was born in January). I think my first doctor visit I weighed @194 lbs. I actually lost weight for a little while from being so sick but ended up @200…

Yes, definitely will pray for him. (From NE Ohio)

Hi WillLift4Tats, Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm really glad I found this group. I'm the only person that I know of personally that has the problem that I do. No one in my family can relate. I will certainly work on exercising my willpower muscle. I am completely baffled by it, however. For instance, right now, if I…

Hello, Congratulations on the twins! I can relate after having my son in January but I've got a few things going on that I think are preventing me from losing right now. (Breastfeeding, for one.) Do you log everything you eat? I have only been doing this a short time and can see exactly where my downfalls are (eating too…

Hello everyone, This is my first post to this group. I just found this topic and I think it's an awesome idea to remind everyone that they should be proud of themselves. I, on the other hand, do not feel very proud because I have no willpower, but here it goes. I'm proud that I'm still training for a 5K. I'm proud that I'm…

Hi. That's how I feel but I'm not sure the best thing to do for the pain. I have been icing mine. Good luck. When is your 5K?

Hello, I'm new to MFP, running, and this group but I think it's fabulous!! I have a question. I read the description of runner's knee and wonder if this is what I have. I ran/walked a 5K Saturday and the insides of my knees are really sore (on the inside of my knee caps). I started to feel it the last mile or so and really…

Hello, I'm not sure how close of a match I am but I'm 44, 5' 3", @190 lbs. but my goal weight is 170 (at first, then re-evaluate). I would like to lose more but want to make it easier by only trying to lose small amount at first. I had a son in January but can't blame my gain on him, I was overweight before that. I want to…

I would love to join you. I have 50+ pounds to lose. This is getting harder and harder the older I get. I would love to finally do this the healthy way.

Hello, I'm 44 years old and new to MFP. I really love everything it keeps track of. Now, I just need to cooperate and eat right. That's my biggest problem. I'm 50+ lbs. overweight. I had a baby in January with my new loving husband and became a grandmother in March. I haven't always tried eating healthy but now I realize…

Hello. I'm new and would love to support you. I'm also looking for support.

Of course, I hate looking in the mirror, I hate the way my clothes fit and I hate the way I feel. I hate having a baby and not being in most of the pictures with him because of the way I look.
