I'm just glad someone else calls it a belly flap!

You are in the right place. GOOD LUCK!!!

I log it as swimming leasurely also and usually log my time as half.

I am so sorry this is the first impression you are getting! I have seen some very negative comments and I try to ignore them, although I have posted a very respectful response on occasion. I haven't been using the messgae boards for very long either, but I assure you, this is not the norm. 99% of the people on here are…

These stories are so sweet! I have so many wonderful memories of my dad and am blessed to be able to make new ones every day. I get my love of reading from my daddy. When I was little, he would lay in bed and read every night. I would crawl up in the bed and curl up next to him with my head on his chest. He would let me…

I reall needed this reminder today. Thanks!

WOW!!! That is AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm, great question. I think each milestone is equally as exciting. I notice new things all of the time. I never knew I had muscles on my chest connecting to my arms until the other day :) I don't think it's as much about the AMOUNT of change as it is about WHAT changes you notice.

I have lost 104 so far and have been doing some kind of strength training since day 1. I have what I call my "belly flap." Attractive, huh? I do lots of core excercises, drink lots of fluids, etc, etc, etc lol Just in case it DOES work lol I know I will continue to lose and tone, but think my belly flap is here to stay…

Let's do this!!! So excited!!

You are my hero lol

THis is has been on my to-do list for a long time. Thanks for the reminder, I gotta try it out!

I really do respect your opinion, and we all have a right to one. But I used to be the person you are talking about. I was almost 300 lbs, bipolar, PCOS, hypothyroid and chronic fatigue. Cleaning my house WAS a marathon. I did what I could do. And every little thing I did encouraged me to do a little more. Now I am 104 lbs…

I as diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16. I didn't suffer any issues for a few years but recently found out I have cysts again and am really struggling with some pain issues. Yes, I have acne issues as well. Funny thing is, I din't in high school. I have tried proactive and every OTC out there I think, nothing works. Also,…

YUMMY Can't wait to try it!

can't wait to try this one!! Thanks!

I am dealing with the same thing. I have a sinus infection and strep throat. i worked out last night and it made me feel worse. On antibiotics now and thinking I need to go ahead and bite the bullet tonight. I hate not working out but don't want to push my body too far!! How long is your water aerobics class? Do you have a…

My fav at the gym is the Captain's Chair, they don't have one at the gym I belong to now and I miss it so much!!! My fav at home would be my kettlebell

I have had two Mirena's for a total of about 8 years. I spotted for the two weeks when the first one was put in but then didn't have anymore periods. I have suffered from PCOS since my teens and have horrible periods, so I loved this. I am not one to remember to take a pill every day (my daughhter Breanna is a miraculous…

I get the "Which surgery did you have?" question a lot. I'm not knocking people who have had surgery at all. My doctor actually recommended that I do it. I just hadn't really tried to do it on my own yet and wanted to try that route first. And I hate it when people ask me how much I work out, and I tell them I aim for 6…

Welcome and good luck!

You sound like an amzing and strong person. It takes a lot of courage to share such a personal story and to realize when to ask for help. Good luck and thanks for opening up!

Still need people? Michelle/mheightchew 176 current 7 week goal -6lbs for an even 170 I want to join this to challenge myself and to get out of my comfort zone. I am looking forward to meeting new people and learning new things!

Beautiful job!!

Thank you so much!!! THis is one of the many reasons I love MFP so much. People on here are so understanding and supportive!

I am addicted too! I am also an emotional eater. Most people lose weight when they are sick. not me! I keep shoving food down my throat thinking it'll make me feel better. How silly is that? I'm sitting here right now with strep throat and a sinus infection (so I can't tast anything anyway) trying to figure out what I am…

I had this problem too and have found a few things that work for me. I check out area classes and take the one that scares me the most :) Zumba terrified me, but now I'm addicted. I also have about 25 or more workout DVD's so I never have an excuse. They are all different is some way so I can switch it up. Plus they are…

I watch it from the treadmill too! I love this, it is very motivational. It's nice to see people struggle with the same issues but overcome them as well. I wish they would show more of the "how-to's" as well. It would be nice to get some tips with the motivation!!

I would have to say Rasing Arizona. Sad thing is the only thing I remember about this movie is hating it lol Everyone I know hated Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but I LOVED it!

I'm in...
