I am in too!

I understand how you feel, one day at a time is the best way. My grandson is my inspiration along with my faith. You can do it!!!!

....Wow, you look AMAZING GIRL! I am inspired to keep doing what I am doing!!!!

I love coffee also, but I had to cut down to 2 cups a week from 3 cups a day every day! I didn't do it over night, it took some time. There are times when I don't drink any coffee or have any soda's but you must understand it took time. Just start with cutting 1 cup out a day and subsitituting with something like a juice…

Welcome...it's great you are going to love it!

Good luck and go get'em!!!

Congrat's on the achievements! Praying your baby continues to get better and better!!!

It gets hard I am not going lie to you. But just like any other thing in life you want to accomplish it takes work. I log on and post my exercise, but I am slowly working on my food. It's a slow process sometimes and you do have to take it one day at a time. Start by reading the post, and getting advice and motivation. You…

Welcome to the MFP family!

I want to blame my husband for me not eating right, but it's not his fault but mine all by myself. Because he chooses to load up on soda's and fast food that's him. I tell him the stuff is not good for him, but that's as far as it goes in one ear and out the other. I decided to think about myself, I decided to think about…

Worked in plants for the last 10 years. Due to back surgery I am now I am a full-time student at a local comm. college studying Office Management, hopefully will get my Bachelor's in Business Adm. by the time I turn 50. So loving my 2nd chance at life!!!

"Thank you for your service!"

C25K seems like the way to go, I tried it one time. I was so tired, I said nope! But you know I actually like the challenge it put forth. I am gonna try it again starting tomorrow morning, and I'm not giving in this time!!!

Just coming off the couch a month ago so, I try for 200 mins. a week at the center, and 100 at home cleaning or whatever! But you are the fitness truth, hope to get there with you guys one day!

Hello Karen, welcome! I don't mind being your friend, you can add me if you want. Good luck and once again welcome.....:flowerforyou:

Thanks for the knowledge! I thought losing alot of weight the first month was the way to go, but now I know it's okay if I don't. Thanks very much for the advice, it is well appreciated with me!

I literally roll out the bed and get dressed and go to the community center and work out. When I go, there is usually a lot of elderly people working out, that alone keeps me going. I look at them and say if they can do it every morning 4 days a week what's my excuse. Now when the young folks (50 and under) come in I am…

:laugh: I was "fixing" to say that word until you said "older"....I can't stand the word myself, along with "shawty, boo, baby daddy, baby moma, drama, and hater" guess I don't fit in anywhere!!!!

I do a colon cleanser every month, and it works wonders for me...my stomach goes down too!

I cut back on chips the first of last month, I had 6 pringles yesterday...I didn't really like the taste of it either. How ironic, when I would eat a big bag of chips in one sitting!!

I'm in...I have 50lbs in all, have lost about 10 of it! But I am hopeful!...If anyone desires a motivational friend, I'm here!!! Good luck friends let's go get'em!!!

I weigh once a week, and measure also! I don't want to be discourage by not seeing the numbers change!

It can be awful but it is a good thing, your body is getting rid of all those bad things and replacing it with good things!!!

Hi and welcome to MFP, this is a great site. I love it here, they help me through the rough day; which have been the last 2 days.

Hi, I know how you feel about the lifestyle change! I made mine 2wks ago, I've started eating right, drinking more water, exercising, and not stressing stuff! I am known for not sticking with my projects but this involves my life, so it's a must do. I want to get back to a healthy weight of 170 but I'm pushing for 180,…

That's amazing, Congratulations on the lose. But don't feel so down, you have accomplish so much, go out and enjoy yourself, buy yourself an outfit, get your nails and toes, and hair done. You deserve it MsLady, keep your head up and keep going strong. You have to see the change in yourself first before you can appreciate…

Good job, keep it up and you won't be overweight long either....YEA, FOR YOU!:flowerforyou:

Hi, I am sorry you don't feel well. Don't press when you are sick, it will probably make you feel worse. But take your time with this, you are not in a race with anyone on here, we care to much to do that. Just watch what you eat, log in your food, exercise and drink water and just watch those little ole' pounds come off!

...the same for me, I try to keep that sodium down, like everyone says don't worry so about that. Keep going!
