Thanks for posting this, pizza is a huge downfall for me and I have written this down and am definitely going to make for lunch soon. sounds great!!

i see this advertised all over town especially on chiropractors buildings. i have not used it but am curious to see what others say will be following this post for sure. my question is does it work?

great post thanks so much i am struggling to get back on track and i will keep this mind today. have a wonderful day and congrats on your success!

Got to be my friend Mollie from Chicago!!! She never gives up on me ever and i love her for that even though i have never met her in person she has been one of the biggest inspirations to me not only on weight loss but other things i told her also. We both live in the same state about 5 hours apart, hopefully one day i…

I followed MFP and 42 lbs ( i believe it was 42) stopped logging on gained it all back except 9 lbs, came back to MFP lost 48 lbs, once again stopped logging on and now i feel the weight creeping back and I am struggling also to get back on track it is so…

I am in Illinois but the heat here is also unbearable. wow, it so hot and humid but i love to swim and am going to get out to the pool today, I don't why i haven't even wanted to do that lately. As far as indoor exercise Leslie Sansone has some great dvds out. Also once in awhile i will find one online and try out…

thats a huge success!!!! congrats and happy birthday

i don't know about the running but i did notice that swimming at a leisurely pace shows more calories burned then a moderate or vigorous pace. was really wondering about this myself. maybe Mike can check into the counts, i am going to send him a message.

thanks for the info, i am grateful today that i thought it was to expensive at our local market and opted for a good ole head of fresh lettuce and other veggies.

i like to use mrs dash spicey really enhances the flavor of veggies!

maybe try googling chinese food nutrition values. i love google, i google everything :) as for me i cannot go to a buffet cause even though i have good intentions once i get there, i want to eat too much and i do so i avoid them at all costs.

yes this site works as part of a total program, helped me immensely to lose the weight i have lost so far, even going thru the struggles, i know if i log on here everyday and track my food and exercise, and rely on my friends for help and support, i can reach my goal one day.

welcome to both of u. this is a wonderful site, the ppl and support area awesome. I am also from Illinois. so i hope we can all support each other and reach our goals one day at a time.

this post was right on time Molly!!!!! Thanks so much for the encouraging words again. have a great weekend!!!!

I also am thinking first things first, get the weight off then cross the excess bridge when i get there. I don't know for sure but i have heard if you do toning exercises while losing the excess skin is not as big of a problem. I am doing the toning that is recommended and will see whats up when i get to my goal weight. I…

If you are working sobriety, go non alcohol!!!!! I am coming up on 4 years in October, one day at a time and no drugs at all including alcohol, nothing is worth giving that up over. have a great time and hang in there, sober is great!!!

i find that if i exercise first thing in the morning my day is set on the right track. Maybe get up an hour before the baby and get i at least 30 min of exercise. As for something to drink, i believe water is essential for health for everyone, Crystal light has a variety of great tasting drinks out now maybe one of those…

denny's is dangerous for me i love it but when in doubt i always go with a garden type salad and bring my own lo cal dressing. well unless i just plain out fall off the wagon which i have been known to do. i don't recommend that though. enjoy your dinner out!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

no you don't sound stupid, that is a good question and hopefully someone knows. I would like to know this myself. have a great day

My Dr. is ultra supportive of my weight loss. Last time i saw her, she pulled up a chair and said ok, how are you doing this. When i told her and told her what i was eating and exercises she was thrilled. She had a staff member look up MFP, and she is now recommending it to other patients. I was so convinced i needed WLS,…

i do count houswork, cause i found it in the database LOL, i dance with the vaccuum and broom. stretch more than necessary while doing some tasks. Just whatever come to me any movement is good in my book. You are not crazy well maybe cause they say i am :) but it is working so i am gonna keep on doing it.

Welcome this site is the best. I looked at and tried a couple others just to see but i landed right back here. I lost weight using this site, then got complacent and gained it all but 9 lbs back. I logged back in about 3 months ago with a new determination. So far I am down about 48lbs and pray i can continue to my goal. I…

I don't care for sweet cereals either. The special K cereals really surprised me, i haven't found i don't like. Even the one with chocolate chunks is good especially for that chocolate craving LOL!!!! i definitely recommend them all, and i have tried them all. I really like the strawberry and chocolate alot.:flowerforyou:

wonderful!!!!

i log everything the good, the bad and the ugly. I learned from my prior experience of yo yo dieting that not logging does me more harm. I tend to get off track and stay off however if i log and look at what i have eaten on bad days i get back on track alot faster. wishing you much success.

i agree 100% i also gave up on worrying about the sugar intake, some sugars are good, like those in fresh fruits however when i saw i was "over" on sugars it freaked me out, Knowing i was always over, i decided not to worry about it and so far so good. :flowerforyou:

I agree 100% with this. If he has only shown affection in times of sorrow or when an argument made him feel it necessary, and you crave more, chances are you will not get it here. I recently ended a relationship that was similar always about him, I didn't see any of it until it was over and my friends had been trying to…

Hello St Louis, I am just east of you in Illinois, right over the bridge practically. Anyway i also lost weight using this site last year, i lost 42lbs, got complacent and gained it all back but 9 lbs, Since logging back in to the site about 3 months ago, i am down by 48lbs. I also know it can be done and this time i have…

you can google, a heart rate calculator thats what i did don't know how accurate but seemed to be about right from other things i saw.
