Great job refocusing

I think I get your whole point and view on the situation. Trying to translate it from gaming to MFP did confuse me at times, but I get the general idea of the theory. BTW...It is a great idea to do too!

One thing that gets me fired up everytime is his chewing with his mouth open. I see a cow just chewing on grass everytime I think about it. Gross! Best thing about him.....A day does not go by that he does not kiss me or tell me he loves me at least four times during that day. I call him my "I love you" *kitten*. LOL.....I…

Sending request and add me too. We all need support and encouragement!

I just got one too and MFP said I only burned 260 in calorie but my Polar HRM said I burned 420. I know it's more accurate, so that why I'm going with it! HRM are personalized where MFP is not.

Leaving EARLY Satuday morning and driving to FL for my week long vacation in Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale! I'm so excited I can bearly focus on anything! LOL

Here's my fair warning. My mother had the copper IUD and her body rejected it slowly, hence getting pregnant with my brother. She had the new one put in after my brother was born and her body rejected it also, hence I came along! After that she had enough of birth control and trying not to get pregnant and had her tubes…

It seems you are giving yourself mini goals, which is GOOD. I tend to focus on what I have done wrong too, but then my MFP friends remind me of what I have done right. It's a process! You can do it though. Kudos for giving up on the Coke...Very hard to give up, believe me.

Feel free to add me then, we can motivate each other! You will find a great support team here too!

WOW! That's all I can say! That's amazing!

I have also heard of using extra virgin olive oil, due to all the viatiams in it. My current body lotion has olive oil in it and my skin feels great. Also, drink more water since this keeps your skin hydre and less chances of getting stretch marks. The normal 8 glasses of water is not enough for some people. Try drink at…

Thank you everyone for the suggestion and responses!! Keep them coming!

Looking great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up and keep posting the success!

I was a cheerleader for four years and like other stated you have to know which position you are going to be. Flyer, Backspot, Base. I was a flyer and I had to maintain a very low body weight and had to be ready to be dropped for time to time. In college, I thought about doing cheerleading too. I contacted the coach and…

You can try vinger too. It's cheaper and won't hurt the dogs. Just mix 12 oz of water with 2 oz of vinger, and if you need smaller version just cut everything in half.

I have had teens I work with say the same thing?! My reply is "It's just the way I walk"....:laugh:

LOL...... Okay I will be dumb enough to join you in the trip! Adding!!!!!!!!

I have a different spin on this issue. When my feet would do this is was due to poor support in my shoes. I went out and bought walking shoes and made sure they support my arch and feet correctly. BUT try the banana too!

I just bought the polar TF4 on Amazon. A HRM will make sure you are exercising in the right zones and some can count your calorie burn. I think it will be helpful to me, to see what I am actually burning.

GREAT JOB FOR BEING CLEAN FOR 2 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!! Meth is a very hard drug to come off and stay off, so again GOOD JOB!!!!!! What I know about meth from working with at-risk youth and their parents is meth destroys your body from the inside out. Since you did use for so long, it may take your body sometime and TLC to get…

I have struggled my whole life with this and I don't think there is a best answer. You may have to try a couple of different things to see what will work for each situation. When I start feeling that way, I either call a support buddy or start cleaning around the house. If this does not work, then this is what I do next. I…

I agree with everyone else. I don't think you have harmed your daughter, but her body is not use to the dairy, sugar, and etc. Keep trying different things like soy milk, oat milk, goat milk, and etc. to see if she is having the same reactions. For me, the thought of giving up ice cream would be a blessing! LOL..... Always…

It's a great site and the support is amazing! Feel free to add me, if you like. We all need the support and encouragement in every stage of weight lost we are in.

The dress is waaaaaayyyyy to big! Great job and keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is great!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with the classes and therapy 100%!!!!!!!!!!! BUT talking about all side of this issue. What do we do when the parents still don't comply with the classes or therapy? Do we continue to let them harm the child?

At least you are trying to do the right thing! Your good habits will rub off on your daughter and she's still young. The sad issue is children now are growing up with eating issues from being overweight to children being extremely underweight. Teaching her now the right way will save her many years later. Good job!

Being a social worker I can see both side and have had a case of this too. The grandparents were order to start taking the child to a specialist due to his extreme weight and concerns for his asthma and other health issues. The grandparents refused and did not kept appointments which show neglect. Therefore, the county had…

About to finish up my Master in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Started working out only a few months ago, so workouts tend to interup my class work

Wow....You were close to a heat stoke it sounds like. I struggle to say No to my father too, but sometimes you have to do what is best for you. If you do run with him again in the evening, slow your pace down so he has to slow down. If you were not feeling well after, I can't imagine your father was feeling well either. If…
