  • I concur with Bubble; and lemme tell you SHE IS A GREAT FRIEND TO HAVE ON MFP. She always has positive things to say and comments on almost every status update with some great encouragement. Most people on MFP will do the same as well. Good luck with your journey sweetie and I will also add you to my friends!

  • My eating at my heaviest... Well, I would start the day just 15 minutes before leaving for work so no breakfast, although if we had cookies, brownies, sometimes even cake I'd grab a slice real quick and chow down while getting ready then rush out the door. Then (at my old job) I'd get candy bars, beef jerky, cookies, pies,…
  • On MFP your calorie goal is automatically lower to promote weight loss WITHOUT working out, so going over a few hundred guarentees you'll MAINTAIN your current weight. You won't gain weight but you won't LOSE weight either. I try to make sure I don't stray off my MFP calorie goal so I can steadily lose weight even on days…
  • Stouffer's Skillet Savory Chicken and Rice Meal. It was very filling. I had it with a plain ole' sweet potato half.
  • Thanks!! I will def. try a different milk. I've had Almond Milk in cereal and it tastes just the same to me, so maybe even using that would help the calories a little as well.
  • Am I the only one reading this thread with an Australian accent? LOL I'm all American. But I sure would like to visit Australian one day. c:
  • I've been camping plenty of times with appropriate gear (thought I've never gone as far as bringing a stove...), and had plenty of fun cooking the food we brought and relaxing under the stars, which is why I'm up for a little more of a camping challenge. I am familiar with the series, and it's some what of an inspiration.…
  • Thank you for your replies! I'm sorry I didn't make this clearer; my grandparents own about 10 acres of land, it's cut in half with a tree line, the front half has their home, and the back half has a large open area with a pond. If I did decide to try this I'd literally be steps away from their home. I'd never actually go…

  • I am going to do one free meal a month. Out to eat or take home, either way. Hot Deli Food and Concession Food count as out to eat. Even a BK Garden Salad or a McDonald's Parfait. Mmmm. And parties/holidays/ect. are free also. Say you go to thanks giving dinner; go all out! Don't make yourself depressed over everyone's…
  • I would stare at her hair in jealousy o 3o lol
  • Thank you to EVERYBODY for all your encouragement and support. I will definitely be looking up Leslie Sansones when I get home!! I purchased a 30 Day Shred DVD a while back ( Actually now that I think about it... it was a year ago ) And I never even took it out of the plastic because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to…
  • Thank you so much. I am lucky enough to have a community center that doesn't charge for using their indoor track and basketball court so I will start with doing some walking up there. I also joined the 50 miles in April challenge so I'll see if I can accomplish walking all 50! Thank you for your encouragement! I do have an…
  • My first challenge, I'm def. in!
  • I suppose that does make sense, calories are calories no matter what time of day! Thanks for your input. c:
  • Ohhh I see now you can log previous days as well! I work in an assisted living care facility. I'm not a nurse but a lot of people use this job in transition to CNA or LPN while still in school.
