Wonderful job! Happy 1 year!

I go even if Im sore, working out actually usually helps and makes the soreness go away faster. But maybe ill just do a little less time at the gym if I am really sore like 40 minutes insttead of an hour or something

I feel your pain, my husband seemed motivated about losing weight for about 5 seconds... he is eating what I cook but he also eats snack and junk at work so there is really no stopping it. My hope is that as I lose more and start looking better, maybe he will decide to work on himself but I have tryed asking and it just…

just stick with it and you will see results. keep counting, keep exercising and don't give up. It is hard especially at first to stop eating like you used to but it does get easier. It may only be 1-2lbs a week but the scale will keep going down with time. you can do it!

Imsure she just wants to do it because you are, my 3 year old has been trying to do the videos with me too, he pretty much just jumps around though... but Im sure she just wants to be involved, maybe if you have a wii you could play one of the dance games together or something so she could feel like she is working out with…

Nope I worry if I did I would be cheating myself

Snickers is a super cute name

I did not pass a class and was feeling like a failure. I have to eait until the fall before the class is reoffered and just felt I needed to succeed at something, so I am dedicating myself to this. i feel like I have been successful at much lately and I am hoping if I can do this that I will be able to succeed in some of…

I weigh everyday, but I only track about once a week or so. I know a lot of people dont like to weigh daily but for me it motivates me to get to the gym and eat healthy

Measure!!! I never have in teh past but this time around I am. I was very upset with only losing a few pounds the last few weeks but I lost 2 in off my waist and 4 off my hips! Measuring will make you feel better! I went from no work outs to pretty intense 6 days a week, the losing is slower this time then in the past when…

I force myself to work out the same even during that time (6days a week for 40-60 minutes at the gym and 6 days a week zumba in the afternoon 20-40minutes), because I worry if I stop I wont start back up. Working out does also seem to reduce the discomfort of being on my period. I never want to go but about 15 minutes in I…

I did no carb for 3 days when I started to get serious about weight loss again, it was great i loss a few pounds but really it got my energy up and got me motivated, now Im back to low calorie. It is great for a jump start but it is something that at least for me would be very difficult to keep up long term.

I have an open diary! I will add you =) I log everything I eat and all my exercise daily, I am 26 and 212lbs looking to eventually get to around 150

just tell them what you are trying to do, they will still try, but if they know why they will not be as offended.

This may sounds strange but this is my third time around and I think im finally getting it.... I was thinking about how hard it was to stay away from all the high calorie foods the last couple times I did this and how angry I got when everyone around me was eating pizza ect.. on saturday night. But then I was thinking I…

Oh don't be so hard on the kid! Good for you! Doing it young is the way to go and now that you know what it takes I am confident you will be able to get it off and keep it off. It does get harder with age (especially for us ladies) but we should all be proud of you for your sucess, great job!

I have never had a problem with this site, but I have been wondering way so many ppl are on this site but using other sites calculations

I tend to eat most my calories for the day between 6 and 10pm

In the past I have always eaten exactly the calories mfp has told me to (the last few days Ive been low bc im not feeling well...) and I have usually lost more than MFP tells me I will lose but then after a few weeks Ill have a week that I lose nothing than the next week I may lose 4lbs. everyone's body is different. And…

That is the worse feeling ever. I sometimes use a belly band, it keeps everything all tucked in

The polar FT7 is awesome

I have acute tshirt my husband bought be ove ra year ago, he was excited it give it to me and I couldnt even make it sqeeze on... I was so embaressed. I will wear it one day soon though!

My kids... lol because I still make them foods they love that I cant eat, like pasta. It is very tempting !

Tonight I used left over port chops and chiken with red yellow and orange bell pappers and onions to make fajitas! super yummy!

Im in the same boat, sometimes if I need somemore and just cant eat Ill drink a glass of milk.

I use aunt mllies lo cal potato bread, only 35 calories a slice! with chicken lunch meat: 50 cal, banana peppers, and a piece of Kraft 2% milk pepper jack cheese:45 calories for a good sanwhich with only 165 calories!

feel your pain... with the stationary bike I usually check my email and stuff and listen to music. The elliptical and listen to music and watch the TV at the gym. But its still boring... Zumba is the only cardio I have found that doesnt seem to take forever bc it is actually fun

It is awesome that you guys are doing it together, I have been trying so hard to get my husband to join me =(

You girls are all awesome!!! Im down to 212 and 5'8 and cannot wait to look like you ladies!

Hi! Married 3 years together 10!
