Thank you all for your help! Some of these sound delicious! Can't wait to try them!

Tiffany, my heart goes out to you and your family. I have to admire your courage and strength to be there for your children when they need you the most. My husband's brother passed away in August of 2013 and left behind his wife and their 2 boys who were 7 and 11 years old at the time. Unfortunately my sister in law made…

I am so sorry about your loss. I couldn't even imagine life without my kids. I am also proud of you for your success! Just goes to show that life is full of ups and downs. We can get through them all if we try hard enough. Thank you for sharing your story. May God lovingly bless.

You look like a new person, that is amazing!!!

Probably because my sister in law never did anything about it. She will be fixed after this litter... I am taking her myself!!

I've had cats off and on my whole life. When my husband's brother passed away last August, his wife and children moved in with us, along with their cat, who had five kittens back in February. I kept one and we let my daughter keep one. We were able to give one away and we still have the other two. Now the mother is…

When I first started MFP, it told me that my daily calories were 1200. I did that for a while and lost quite a bit, then I just stopped losing. I had read other posts in the forums about TDEE and decided to give it a try. So far it's working really well for me. I've only had to adjust it twice. Sometimes you just have to…

Flavored creamer and sweet n low! There is no way I could give up my flavored creamers! I have at least 2-3 in my fridge all the time.

My NSV's are that I would like to be able to do a real pushup, to get in a size 10 (I'm a 14 now) and I would like to work on my arm and back strength. I have a lot of back problems due to my sciatica and sometimes it makes it difficult to exercise or even just get out of bed.

30 minutes of dancing- done!

I would like to join if there is room!

These all sound so yummy!!

I would love to join!

You look amazing!! Many congrats on your weight loss and your babies!!!

Count me in! August Starting Weigh : 175 lbs August Goal Weight : 170 lbs Personal challenge: To eat more fruits and veggies and exercise at least 5 times a week.

That is fantabulous!! Keep up the great work!!

You look amazing! Thanks for sharing your story!

Diet pills are not the best thing. I tried several different ones about 16 years ago, after I had my oldest son. Yes, they worked at first, I was losing weight and felt great. Then after about a month, I could feel my heart racing all the time, I was so hyper that I practically ran everywhere I went. At the time I was…

I feel so lost without my news feed. I wish they would hurry and fix it!!

Thank you for sharing your story with us. I did read it all, some of it I even read twice. Praying for you and your family.

Welcome back! I had to restart twice in order to realize that I was ready to change my lifestyle. As of yesterday I am at 180 days. Feel free to add me, it helps a lot when you have friends to help you along.

Count me in please!!!

Amazing job! She looks so much younger!

I do like Twinkies, but Swiss Rolls ROCK!! :tongue: :happy:

I deleted a lot of friends the other day, but when I got to your name I couldn't delete you. Something told me you were going to be back and you were going to need all the help and support you could get. I will help you in any way I can. You can do this!!!

I'm sorry you're having to deal with all of this. I agree with the others, no one should have to deal with any kind of abuse. If he can't love you for who you are, then he doesn't deserve you. I hope things get better for you.

Like you I started at 1200 calories and was losing about 2lbs a week. Suddenly I wasn't losing or gaining. This went on for months. I thought about doing TDEE but wasn't sure about eating so many calories. I finally tried it and so far I love it! I did gain a few lbs when I first started but soon lost it. There are some…

North Texas here...this sight is amazing isn't it?!?! Congrats on your success so far!!

Feel free to add me. I have an open diary and I'm chatty for the most part...with my friends anyway!

When I first joined MFP, I was set to lose about 2 lbs a week, 1200 calories a day. Some days I ate my exercise calories, some days I didn't. For a while I was losing weight pretty steadily, and then just stopped. Didn't gain anything, didn't lose anything. It was very frustrating. I went back several times and reset my…
