I am moving in the wrong direction weight wise this week. But...I started the morning off with a 3 mile run so I am back in the game mentally now. Hopefully the scale will move down a little more. I have my "official" weigh in tomorrow so I am hoping to at least be back to where I was last week.

Friday weigh in - 131.8! Prbbably would have done better if Easter hadn't killed my diet! McButtski - great weight loss!

Great topic! mixedfeelings - your pictures and food look amazing! So colorful! I have been a vegetarian for 11 years. My husband does compettion BBQ....so.....there were always 2 meals cooked in our house. After we had kiddos, it became a beast to cook so many different things. What I ahve started doing is using having the…

I have no advice to give but wanted to add my sorrow at the loss of my abs also. :smile: I start to complain about the stretched out skin from where my kiddos lived for 9 months but then every time I look at it and start to get upset, I remember their smiling little faces and it is all worth it. I have been doing some…

Well....Easter did me in. I went from 132.6 last Wednesday to 134.4 by Sunday. Today, I weighed in at 132.6 so I am back to where I was a week ago....LOL...well....it's not a gain! I hope Friday has a loss. Really looking to loose 10 lbs this month so I am ready for my Fl trip!

For tuna, I don't like Mayo so I make it with wing sauce. I found it on the Starkist website and modified a little 1 can chunk light tuna in water 2 Tbsp Wing sauce (I use Ott's) 1 stalk minced celery 1 pita pocket or 1 tortilla ½ cup Shredded lettuce 1-2 Tbsp. Blue Cheese Dressing(Optional) Directions Place tuna in a…

I am a little late on the reply so I hope you are all healed and back in the gym.....I have knee problems from too many years of soccer. I keep getting bursitis (I am only 35 but feel like 100 every time I tell someone this...lol). When it is inflamed , my doctor told me to take ibuprofen to help reduce the swelling. I…

This is exactly what I need! I do much better when others are holding me accountable! :happy: I am 5'4" and as of this morning weighed in at 131.8. I would love to lose 10lbs by the end of April! I am going on vacation mid May and really want the weight gone early so that I can buy some new clothes! I am good for Friday…

Try shaking things up a bit. Sometimes uping your calories for a few days and then bringing them back down will shake up your metabolism and help you when you plateau. I like to do that every once in a while. When working out too, it's a good idea to try different exercises to create muscle confusion so that your body does…

I love Quail Ridge Park in Wentzville, MO. They have hiking trails, a paved path, a dog park and frisbee golf. Another good dirt path is Bangert Island down by St. Charles Main street. An awesome, wooded path with a great view of the river. Just have to be careful when it rains beause it gets super muddy!

Your topic sounds as if I could have written it! I am 5'4" and am bouncing around 135 and 136 right now. My goal is to be down to 122. My goal was to hit that by May 18th when we go on vacation, but I am not sure I am going to hit that. 122 would put me back to where I was last summer before I had to re-loose the weight.…

Would love to join you ladies! I am 5'4" and as of Friday morning 135.8lbs. I am looking to be 124 by May 11th for my family vacation to Fl. That only gives me 67 days. I have been working on this since Jan 29th and have only lost 2 lbs! I could really use some motivation!

You can go on their website and customize their items. It's really nice. You can customize the meal in order to fit into your calorie needs. I usually get the Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad. I take off the Grated Nacho Cheese, the dressing, the chicken brease and ancho marinade and the fried jalapeno rings. I add a boca…

Height: 5'4" HW: 200 (when I was pregnant) 172 when I started my new lifestyle CW: 136 GW: 122

Hi....feel free to add me...I am 5'4" and went from 172 to 135.8 as of this morning. :smile: I was down to 122 but lost my motivation and went up to 146. I am trying to stay active on here to keep my motivation going! I've lost 10lbs in 7 weeks and I know a lot of it has to do with being held accountable by my MFP friends!…

LOL.... I was one of those people frantically running around trying to leave before noon! I hate the snow! :happy:

I was looking at it. It sounds like fun, but I am coaching my son's soccer team and we have a coaches meeting and then I am having a parent's meeting for our club team. If you go, I hope you enjoy yourself. It looks like a nice event!

Leg presses do not bother me as long as I keep the weight around 50lbs, but my doctor told me to stay away from leg extensions.

I had my ACL replaced and cartiledge sutured in my left knee and get bursitis in my right knee for over compensating for the weakness in my left knee. I thought if I tried putting equal pressure on both sides I could get by with it. I hired a personal trainer at the gym and he had me doing squats and lunges. He said my…

I have been lifting since April, but that was once or twice a week and not really following any plan. I became more focused in early January and am looking to get some definition. Strength would be an added bonus.

I started using some plans that I found on bodybuilding.com. You just put in that you are a woman, your age, and that you are a beginner, and it will show you some plans to follow - it also lets you choose home or gym type equipment. It also gives you detailed descriptions of how to complete the exercise properly. I know…

Ice Hockey! Fun! Hope you had a great time.

That is fantastic! What an inspiration! You should be so proud of yourself and proud that you are able to share your journey to help others! Thank you for the motivation. I am struggling with the maintenance stage. It's wonderful to see not just the amazing success of losing 120+lbs but maintaining it for 5 years. You have…

Thought I would add my info....:happy: I live in O'fallon, MO (LOVE it out here!). I graduated from Incarnate Word Academy in 1996. I work off of 370 where there are several parks to get to on my lunch hour for a nice afternoon work out!
