Hello! I'm Erica. I'm 28. Last year lost almost 50 lbs and got my energy/life back through diet and simple exercise. Took the winter "off" and trying to get back into the swing of things. I entered winter at about 147lbs and I'm at about 152lbs now, so trying to shed those 5 lbs I put back on, plus another 12. Goal weight…

Like others said it helps me be real with myself. As long as I am honest with my logging. I used MFP pretty much every day last year from May to October and lost almost 50lbs. I thought I had gotten the hang of my food consumption and stopped logging. I did well for awhile, but recently the weight has started to come back…

Creative writing, drama, book club.

This. and that it's just effing obnoxious.

i like food and i like to eat a lot of it. and generally speaking i'm lazy. basically it.

I'm with everyone. Move on, get back on the wagon the rest of the day and make sure you get a work out in -- if nothing else, it will help ease the guilt ;)

<--- Also a terrible human being and I would continue going until I got caught, and even then I would play dumb. However, if they then charged me for anything, I wouldn't argue, I would just pay it. then again, I also hate gyms and refuse to pay to go to one anyway, so I'm biased :)

I spent the majority of my 20's feeling lethargic, but mostly in denial of how big I had gotten. at 27 1/2 I decided enough was enough, and now at 28 1/2 I feel better than I have my entire life, not just my 20's. I also feel like I'm making up for those 7 years I lost feeling terrible. It's never too late -- good luck…

CONGRATS!!!! I'm in the process of trying to actually locate those boxes for myself... I probably hid them away so I would never find them!!!

this. :) but I would say Margaritas. everytime. I hate beer though so I'm bias.

i take my 2 1/2 year old on jog/walk in the stroller every day.. we end it by feeding the ducks at the park so he gets to run around and has something to look forward to as well... then when he goes to bed i'll do any weight training i want to do for the day.

Welcome, we love cheer moms! Hoping one day I can move from cheerleader & coach to Cheer Mom. :) This section is pretty dead though sadly.

THIS.

I LOVE this.. it's so good..it's a staple in my house.. totally worth the entra calories! YUM.. i want some tonight now, thanks :)

My motivation is almost 100% vanity at this point. I hadn't been told I "needed" to lose weight for any health reason, but I'm not an idiot and know that I wasn't happy and I felt lazy all the time. I still got plenty of attention 30+ lbs ago, but now the added attention & compliments help to fuel me when I want to slack.…

I'm open, feel free to add away people!

I felt thinner when my pants started falling off of me and my thighs no longer filled them out either. For the first time ever in my life I feel fairly comfortable wearing a 2 piece bathing suit & I'm getting constant "wow! you look amazing... or you're so skinny!" compliments. Though when I look in the mirror, I too,…

I find myself being very critical of other people's eating habits as well...and much more aware of just how overweight (and quite frankly, obese) MANY people are. I was at Disney World last week and I was floored at the sheer size of so many of the families there. I never thought too much about it before. I think it's more…

HA. I love the truth in this! I would be lying if I didn't say part of my motivation is to make anyone I've ever been with kick themselves just a little. :) ...and boost my husband's ego a little :)

Hey Ladies! I LOVE this group idea and hope we can make it more active!! My short story..My name is Erica... I'm 27, married & mother of a 2 year old son. I started cheering in pop warner at age 7... cheered all through pop warner, middle school, high school, all 4 years of college, and once I graduated college landed a…

Welcome!! I'm "new - again" :) Hoping this time is the one that sticks! I too am looking to lose about 30-40 lbs total
