  • Praise to me and my husband we gave the downstairs a good cleaning today - start to finish. And yay it burns calories too.
  • Amen. I have gone on so many diets in the past but this is honestly the first time that I have asked the Lord for help and I pray for His help every single day (probably more like every meal and/or craving). What a difference it is making in my attitude too. And this site is amazing.
  • I think it can be healthy, it depends on what you are eating and how much your activity level has increased. I started 6/20/11 at 326 and this morning (8/13/11) I am down to 287. I completely changed how much, when and what I eat, faithfully count calories and walk/run four to six times a week. I feel so much more…
  • I really do like my job. I am working for a family owned Chevrolet dealership for 2 1/2 years as a controller/business accounting manager. I previously worked for another family owned Chevy dealer 23 years until they decided to call it quits. Stayed home for about two years in-between, and that I loved, I played taxi…
  • totally agree. I pack a lunch every day, I have an icepack in a thermal lunch bag and I use the microwave at work if something needs heated, plus I almost always pack fresh fruit or some veggies.
  • Water instead of soda even if it is diet. Grilled chicken vs breaded/crispy, a wrap instead of sandwich. Choose options like fruit or veggies as a side instead of fries/onion rings etc. Salads are a little more expensive and can still be high in calories but you can request light dressing & water instead of a soda or sweet…
  • You're right, it was worth the read. Thanks for the chuckle. My dogs try to get on the treadmill with me sometimes and my beagle absolutely KNOWS that when I put my sneakers on WE ARE GOING FOR A WALK!! Pets are a God given blessing :)
  • Just what I need to read this morning. Thank you. I started working out a little more consistently this week and my scale has not moved. I have 163 lbs total to lose & I have lost almost 30 in the first two months. I will never give up, but I get alot of my strength to perservere watching the scale go down (even if only…

  • You can friend me if you want. I am also an OCD about the scales, I have really been considering having my husband hide them from me and only let me weigh in once a week. Haven't gotten to courage to follow through with it though. I just started my second month of MFP and I love this site. I am faithful about logging in…
  • I say nay. For me it can lead to a downward spiral. Rather than a cheat day I allow a treat on rare occasions and still try to stay in the calorie guide lines.
  • I'm in! I weigh in on Tuesday morning. My last weigh in was 308. I have lost 15 so far using this site. Today was my 20th consecutive day posting. It's pretty amazing how much help the calorie counting has been for me and my daily food choices. My first goal is to be down 75 lbs by my son's soccer senior night which is…
  • Is it too late? I'll join if possible.
  • Just sent you a message and friend request. I have been posting faithfully and honestly for about two weeks and have lost 15 lbs to start. It's a new life style change for me, but it's working great so far, sometimes hard to get all the calories in that it says I should be eating though.
  • That's great!! My husband tries to be supportive but really doesn't need to lose any weight, he just needs to eat a healthier diet. It is all in your mindset -- if you want to lose and are willing to make it work -- you will both have success. Good luck.
