Ha! I love it! So much for Barbie's "perfect" body :laugh:

I can't tell you how many times I've made no progress on the scale or I feel limited because I'm craving bad food, etc. and want to throw in the towel. But everytime I get discouraged, I think about you guys. I can't just quit because all of you are relying on me to be here, to lead by example, and to keep the challenge…

Lose 4 pounds (which puts me at 140). And it will officially move my BMI from "overweight" to "healthy".

I had a gentleman email me out of the blue one day and paid me a compliment. I think it was something along the lines of being very attractive, keep up the good work. I was totally flattered and told him so! I don't think there's anything wrong with saying you look great, especially if they have a before/current pic on…

You're so awesome! I love watching your day in and day out...you're such an inspiration to me!

I don't add men into my friends, but I wanted to extend my well wishes to you! If you had the strength to quit smoking, you can lose weight too :smile: Good luck in your journey!

I haven't spent much time thinking about it really. Thanksgiving will probably suck, and I probably won't be able to log what I eat nor will I log any exercise. I usually do Thanksgiving dinner with the in-laws AND my family on that Thursday, then my mom cooks a big dinner that Friday. (Luckily, I'll get stuck working…

Essentially everything since I joined MFP has been new to me. I set mini goals, stuck with a "diet" for more than 48 hours, rewarding myself for every 15 pounds I lose, being aware of what I eat and when I move, etc. Growing up, there was never a focus on healthy lifestyle, so as a young adult I haven't been healthy…

YES!!!!! Everyone, rest easy tonight. We are going to have a Sexy in Six Round 3. It will run from Monday, November 14th until Friday, December 23rd. That means that Round 3 is gonna be our last chance to get sexy in time for Christmas!

when i saw the title, i instantly thought "eat them, duh" :laugh: but i guess that's how i ended up on mfp to begin with they would be awesome for a casserole. stuff it full of veggies and a little whole wheat pasta action--yum! or melt some over steamed broccoli.

I've been a stay at home mom to my 2 year old for a year (her 1st year, i worked on the weekends and stayed with her during the week.) I get that the gym isn't always manageable between money and the whole baby thing. Get some workout dvds or maybe check out some online videos. You CAN lose weight just by reducing your…

Friday QOTD: yogurt, steamed veggies, 100 cal packs of cookies and pretzels, soup, popcorn

Jenna is a pretty awesome lady and I'm glad to have her in my friends. You won't find anyone sweeter! :flowerforyou:

I love this! It's so true, we all need to reflect and discover that motivation again :smile: Well, I've told my story a few times, so sorry to anyone stuck hearing it again :laugh: I was just over the line of obese when I got home from vacation and did my first Komen 5K in June. Both of these events involved taking…

Anyone who wants to add the Black Team logo from my signature, the IMG code is: Be sure you change the capital IMG to lowercase img on both ends or it won't appear as a picture :smile:

I have trid soooo many times. I went on a Slimfast shake in the morning diet, I have done the No Soda Diet, the Celery diet....I quit them all within days (if not hours....who wants to eat celery all day?) This is my SECOND time using MFP. The first time, I used it as the app on my phone, just to track. It only lasted 2…

I have an app on my Android called Restaurant Nutrition. It's got the nutrition information for whole menus of every chain restaurant you can imagine! If I'm going out to eat (which happens often when I'm with my parents) I can consult it beforehand, or even while I'm flipping through the menu at the restaurant! If I'm…

Celeb Chef: Gordon Ramsay Celeb Trainer: Bob Harper Why? Because they're both hot!

I'm not a Zumba for Wii fan... but a lot of people really love it. I was always partial to Wii Fit (I just bought a cheaper knock off version called Exerbeat which isn't bad either.) Good luck!

I know! I had to double check my math (well, I have to do that 3 or 4 times anyway because I'm terrible at math :laugh:) because they lost so much weight! I was impressed and a little jealous :wink: Black team is gonna get it this week! Let's do it girls!

i don't wanna be "that person" but my weight on there is wrong...i was 146.4, not 147.4 but i love the chart and appreciate all your hard work!

The weight isn't dropping as fast as I'd like it to, but next week I *should* hit my -30 mark! And I'm about 6 pounds from my "healthy" window, so that's exciting. I need to start working out more and I'm hoping this new job (that I start on Monday!) will help in a combination of moving around more and maybe allowing me…

I love to read and am usually reading something on my Kindle. I love all their free books, and most of them have been pretty good! I am a big daytime tv junkie. I admittedly watch Anderson Cooper and Dr. Phil every day. I'm also a big sucker for People's Court and Judge Judy. Then after dinner, I love to watch Jeopardy and…

Awwww thank you! you're too sweet! I wouldn't say there's one that inspired me to lose weight, but there's one song that ifind really motivating and inspiring: "Life is Beautiful" by Sixx AM. "Alive just open your eyes just open you eyes and see that life is beutiful do you swear on your life that no one will cry at my…

I didn't start losing weight because of a direct inspiration. Although when I think of it, some people may have inspired me that I never realized it. -My mother lost 100+ pounds and looked great, then regained it and then some. She has health problems that she ignores. -A former friend of mine started losing weight and I…

Impromptu Wednesday QOTD: Is there a person in your life who has inspired you to lose weight? Either someone who has lost weight themself, or someone who has developed weight related health issues?

I don't really plan cheat days. I let life hand them to me as I need them :laugh: If I'm going out to the bar or a party with friends, I may allow myself to go a little over. Just going out to dinner isn't enough for me to blow my calories. Some days I just have zero motivation and need a kick in the butt so I take a day…

MONDAY QOTD: What exercise combinations work best for you/do you see the best results with?? With my motivation these days, ANY exercise is a win! I like to do kickboxing and I like (so far!) my Exerbeat, which lets you do party games like swim, toss pizzas, box, dance, and lots of other things. (You can feel your heart…
