my hubby is 6 ft and 175 and Skinny!!! they used to call him skinny skates... haha! so maybe your man just has no idea how to use a scale? LOL! idk... you know sometimes in my bathroom if I just move the scale over a half foot, I weigh 10 lbs less... Have him go to a doctor or to the gym and weigh in there and see what…

wouldnt make your goal to be to lose more weight you know? you look great! you're down to a healthy bmi and weight for your height... i think someone else mentioned this.. but it would be good to make your goals more about the strength training and toning :) keep an eye on the scale just to maintain, but if it's not going…

Oh amy i hope they can help you out soon.. so sorry about the frustration with the doc >_< how irritating to have to go thru that... but i guess they do tend to have ppl coming in wanting pain meds, so they have to watch who they give them to. sad we all have to suffer for a few ppl's mistake! Victoria, the trail run…

it just means they are bumping the thread to the top so others can see it more readily than having to search pages and pages of threads for it ;)

curious.. we're weighing in from friday to mondays right? do you all check in every day? how often do you think we should weigh in? sometimes i get frustrated checking the scale every day :)

Wow what a great a busy community!! haha! i will need to set aside some time later on to read thru and answer somethings,, right now i really gotta get a work out in.. i ate like crap today and just said "i don't care. i'll get back on it tomorrow." but i dont want to do that! too many days like that and you know what'll…

thanks! you're all prbly right... i have the habit of seeing that water glass on 8 and thinking im good for the day lol... and today was a hot day and i went out in the middle of the day with the sun beating down.. Stupid!! thanks for the tips... i'll remember them next time i want to up it a notch ;)

Aww! what a cute story! :)

I"m new too and also excited to be in an MFP community!! This is so awesome, and so helpful.. Mfp has been helping me so much to stay motivated. Anyways, my long term goal is also up in the air... i was 128 in high school.. but after 6 kids and now being 30, i just don't know if that should be my final goal, or what? so…

So sorry about that... been there done that, it's hard... i hope you find what you all need!! :)

So my goals for these 6 weeks would be to run a 5k in 30 minutes... right now i'm running it in about 40... to join some type of self improvement class, either online or irl, or just to start a book on self improvement (self worth) to get down to 200... that would be slightly over 2 lbs a week... to take each one of my…

Hi there! i'd love to join this challenge.. my C.W. is 214 my goal after the 6 weeks would be 200!!! How awesome it will be to finally reach that point... I am a momma of 6, have been overweight since after the 2nd... slightly mushy before the first two. lol i always thought i was chunky back then, but looking at pictures…

Awesome!!! Thank you! I should up the level of spiritual cleansing.. ive been really focused on the physical. :) Thank you!

i think a lot of people dont realize how easy it is... 8 oz is only a kid size cup!!! when they think 8 cups im sure they visualize the drinks you get at restaurants lol!!! fill up one of those 44 oz cups from a gas station and you're almost done for the day ;)

hmm, i was going to take my first progress pics after i hit 20..maybe i'll go ahead and just take a couple shots after 15.. just to see if there's anything noticeable! ;)

Yes I've watched Super why! haha! i have 6 kiddos and they love that one lol... Thanks for that! That's actually a pretty good idea! I do always tend to see the negative on things, and especially about myself.. it's a very bad habit! Exactly why my goals are to overall better myself: spiritually, physically, emotionally…

is there still time for this? i'd like to join a challenge :) My C.W was 214 last weekend... Goal by July 4th is 209 :)

bahahaha~! ur prof pic scared the bejeezus outta me... i only knew it was you by your orangatang quote :P
