I work the childwatch in our YMCA while parents work out. Thats a great idea. 10 minutes the first couple times so he gets the idea that its fun and mom comes right back. Then slowly add time to it. I know its a pain for you but it wont take long. Keep coming frequently until he does adjust. We often see kids get used to…

that sounds very good! I will try that soon. Thanks for the idea!

welcome to the group. I love dodgeball and I "coach" a weekly game at our YMCA. Its a blast and we're usually in the thick of it playing along.

Hi and welcome! I just joined about 2 weeks ago (wow already?) and am enjoying all the support. Feel free to add me if you want more support. It has helped me to have people hold me accountable and celebrate my milestones however small they may be..

I'm in Philly region so we eat alot of pizza (and cheesesteaks but thats a whole nother thread). I get a slice of plain pizza (our crusts are typically pretty thin) and have a large salad with it. I will not give up my pizza. In fact I have it once a week (my kids would riot otherwise).

Hi and welcome! I'm finding this site to be immensely helpful. Dont be afraid to friend people. They keep me going. Feel free to add me if you want some extra support.

Welcome! In the very short time I"ve been here I have come to love it.

welcome! I am 38 and I know I have to get it together soon. I have days where I'm very motivated and then others (like the last few) where I cant get it right. Feel free to add me and we can help each other out.

that is amazing the difference! Wtg and be proud!

I'm in Philly region now but originally from Portsmouth Va.

Hi and welcome! I've only been here a week but I've come to depend on my friends on here.

Hi and welcome! I'm new just joined about a week ago. Congratulations on the little one.

You are stronger than the mcflurry! Maybe instead of stopping for that eat a healthy lunch out but stop by the store on the way home and buy a single serving of weight watchers or skinny cow ice cream. You know youre eating the right portion size but youre not depriving yourself.

I'm a 38 year old mom of three crazy boys (19,8, and 5). I'm still real new on my journey and the more support the better! Feel free to add me if you'd like.

I am now a baby carrot addict. I literally eat a bag of those every two days. My skin is probably going to have an orange glow soon but its working for me.

I dont have the answers for you but I wanted to congratulate you on your success this far! I wonder if your body has become used to the workouts that youre doing and therefor the muscles arent being taxed in a new way? Not sure how you could change it up in your home but thats the only thing I could think of.

A friend with beer? Yep I'm hooked. Welcome!

congratulations on your success so far! Very inspiring. I'm new too (joined over the weekend). I'm finding its so easy to track food/exercise on here. Also love the support network.

I'm new so havent had any success this time (but I'm thinking positive). Good luck on your journey!

welcome! I'm still exploring things myself.

welcome! I'm new too but have already found a sense of community unlike any other.

welcome and congratulations on your success so far!

welcome! I agree about changing up your exercise. I try to do something different at least 2 of my 4 workouts a week.

I'm sending you a request. The more support the better I say!

was wondering the same thing! Thanks for asking!

welcome to the MFP. I'm new too (joined this past weekend). I am mom to three boys and find its hard not to eat the "kid foods" that they like to eat. I pick at the foods I make them never thinking its much but those bites of mac and cheese and nuggets add up. They've been on vacation this past week so I've been able to…

Welcome! I'm pretty new as well but I love the sense of community here. Feel free to add me if you want to help each other.

Thursdays are a tough day for me to fit in exercise but I will somehow! Today taking the daycare kids to the pool but that means just sitting in the baby pool not actually moving. Then after they leave I work a shift at the Y until 8:15. I'll do at least 30 mins tonight but then I'll be up til midnight (cant sleep after…

Hi and welcome! I'm new too but have already found a home here. I am looking for fitness friends (or any weight loss friends) as well. I'm trying to get motivated and so far so good. Six days in a row so far. I work at a YMCA so its easy for me (supposedly if I can just get myself moving).

that is great! I'm glad youre seeing results. It helps to keep me going when I know its working.
