Glad I haven't seen these threads.. that is just rude. :( How would they like it if someone said that about them?

You are so right! It is a two way street and online communication can be really hard to read. I think sometimes your own mood and situation play a big part in how to read others comments. Just something to keep in mind.

Isn't that the truth!?! I am not against people offering advice or suggestions.. but make it constructive and not condescending. I always try to see the silver lining in things, so I stay away from the negatives. But I completely agree with all that you have said above! My mom and I are great at agreeing to disagree and…

Hey! We are really close. 5'9" SW: 167 CW: 159 GW: 140-145

Awwww, crushes are fun! I don't have any yet, but I haven't been that active either. But I agree, I love all the positive peeps on this site! And I am not above having a girl crush either, LOL :) I don't think it's weird!

This topic is funny! I guess I didn't even realize this stuff goes on behind the scenes.. didn't really think about it. But it does seem like there are a LOT of suggestive profile pics appearing everywhere. I guess I didn't even realize there was a dating section??? Now I am going to have to go check that out! Add me to…

That is GREAT advice! You can't just give up. Just think that every decision you make with eating or exercising can be making you fatter or thinner. You decide each time which to chose. Its all up to you! Don't beat yourself up about past decisions, just try to make as many good decisions as you can. It will get easier…

You can enter a recipe on here as well to see how many calories per serving. Under Food --> Recipes --> Add New Recipe I got about 52 calories each on there. Probably depends on which ingrediants you choose. I used bleached white flour. I am just curious if this recipe REALLY makes that many servings...

You guys are right! and again, I am glad this thread was started! I think I could be a size 6 if I was in great shape. I got pretty close last time, and I was not even bikini worthy, so I think it is doable for me. I DEFINITELY have big hips/butt, which is ok with me. I like having curves :) It is where I carry all of my…

Ohhhh! I am so glad you started this thread! It is hard to find other women in this height range and it gets discouraging to read others wanted to be 120 pounds... sigh. LOL. Anyway, I am 5'9.5" In my picture I weigh about 155. My goal is 145 or around there somewhere. I was 147 over the summer and not terribly thin. Still…

best of luck! Its a great program!

Welcome! And great inspirations you have :) We have had 3 t-bucket roadsters pass through our family, awesome cars!

Glad to hear you are feeling better, take it easy as you come back in full bore! Good luck! :) Happy Healthy November to you too!

Here is one I might try.... Halloween chocolate spider web cookies - 102 calories each :) http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000000549860 Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup vegetable shortening 2/3…

Wow!!!! I am so happy for you!! You look so happy now :) congratulations, you are a major inspiration!

I love love love pizza....... And I found some whole wheat crusts at Walmart.. I can't remember the brand name. But they were fairly thin and tasted great. Turkey pepporoni should help cut some fat down.. put just a little cheese on it. We love chicken bbq pizza.. so we just use plain grilled chicken, chopped red onion,…

Welcome! And I wish you the best of luck. I agree with Nikki - follow myfitnesspal's recommendations because you will need to be eating more calories if you are working out that much. . . otherwise your body wont' want to let go of the fat stores. Enjoy MFP :flowerforyou:

Welcome!! Looks like you have the right attitude! You've taken responsibility but you also made the important decision to change and get healthy. Congrats!!

For salty, I grab like 6 Reduced Fat Triscuits - they are whole grain :) Also, raw almonds, walnuts, etc. String Cheese, 2 pieces of jennie O's turkey bacon Sweet - always tons of fruit kinds, Luna Bars, Clif Kids Z Bars (my absolute fav!), Also, Mountain High plain yoghurt with frozen berries and vanilla protein powder…

Welcome!!!

I think you are safe if most of it is coming from natural sugar. The sugar requirement on MFP seems really low to me so I removed it from my diary :) I eat primarily natural sugars so I am not so concerned. I went through the same questions as you did and had a really hard time finding any good information on how much…

congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad you found the site and everyone was here to help support and motivate you :flowerforyou:

Try to eat lean meats (chicken, fish, etc) to up your protein and pair it with veggies, fruit, and SMALL servings of carbs if you want them (whole grain pasta, rice, bread). If you start eating 5 meals or so a day, they don't have to be so big and you never get overly hungry. You should be eating every few hours something.…

I think you should include them if it is outside your "normal" daily level of activity. Cleaning can be some SERIOUS work!

Can you send me your recipe??? I would love to try this!

Honestly, the best thing to do is just workout again. Once you get past the first 10 minutes you will be warmed up and your muscles will loosen. I have always found the best way to combat soreness is to keep working out! I know it sounds crazy.. but you just have to push through. Also, after you workout.. make sure you…

Wow, well even 23 pounds made a huge difference. You have done an amazing job :) You don't look like you need to lose any more weight honestly, you look great!

Wow!! Awesome! I love TurboFire, but haven't tried to do the whole program. I did the Insanity program and it was amazing the results I had in 60 days. You can think about doing a hybrid with TurboFire - adding in another program and switching between. Congrats on getting there!

HOLY MACKERAL!!! What HUGE difference 10 pounds makes on you! How tall are you?? You look amazing and I am so happy for your success!! Way to go girl - rock that bikini hottie :) Nice job!
