Beautiful!

Stop trying to loose weight and just focus on being healthy. Don't weigh yourself every day, just once a week. Your body hit a set point and needs time to settle in. It thinks there is a famine in the land and is trying to hold on to that fat to protect you. just relax and keep exercising and eating HEALTHY.

OH, yes! We should all take sex advice from 14 year olds.... ummm how dumb is that?

Honestly, I think it means he does not respect you. Do you really want a relationship BASED on sex or would you like a great friendship with your spouse where sex is the icing on the cake?

See this is what I am battling against... DON'T "diet." When we hear the word "diet" we think of a temporary solution to over eating. We need to think GOOD HEALTH, which is a lifestyle, not a diet. Fad diets do NOT make good lifestyle choices.

I lost 35lbs on Atkins a few years ago. Last year I got lax and started putting them back almost 20 of them in fact. I tried to do the low carb again but could not get motivated for it. I found MFP and just eating healthier and getting good exercise I have lost that 20 plus and I am looking to go where Atkins did not take…

Too funny. I just posted it on my fridge, thanks for sharing.

This is a great place to learn healthy habits.

woo hoo

Awesome!

I could not agree more. A simple, but elegant wedding is MUCH more meaningful than a coronation. Its about love, people and laughter... not about spending into oblivion. Loosing the weight? Its possible... but get help like Medi-Fast they have good results for fast and safe weight loss. Personally I believe in slow for the…

Ditto

spend some time with him first, then do your work out OR get up earlier in the morning and do it...

What keeps me motivated is thinking about my health. I want to LIVE not just be alive. I want to have fun, go on adventures and not be worn out after an hour of mild activity. Good Health is what motivates me.... AND having people tell me I look good is kinda nice too...

What a GREAT accomplishment!! Congratulations.

Double Agree....

I agree.

So true.. The one that really bugs me is the "Servings Per Container". An obviously single serving container can be labled as 2 or 3+ servings! So if you are not alert, you will be eating twice the calories you think you are. The WORST offender is Pam Cooking Spray... Tell me ... ANYONE ... how in the heck do you pull off…

Always keep at least ONE pair of big pants around. Then when you feel that way put them on and watch them drop to the floor.... after laughing you will feel better about yourself. Congratulations on such GREAT success you have had!

Smart. I believe that total deprivation leads to failure. EAT that chocolate cake... but just a bite or two...

Remember its NOT your fault... its the economy. You are not alone. Prayer and exercise... great advice! After that, find people you know or maybe connected to, that are hiring managers and ask them to give you a mock interview and then be brutal with you in telling you what you need to do better. Good LUCK!

DITTO! Scales are evil. I could not agree more! The famous gymnast, Mary Lou Rettin says she does not even allow scales in her home! Its all about good health. The scale is just ONE measurement of that. Stamina, strength, energy. These are the measurements of good health before weight.

Don't be frustrated... the scale is NOT what is important. Good health is most important followed by inches. You are doing GREAT!

WOW.... Congratulations! What a great accomplishment. What were your secretS of success?

Hi Jen, I am not in the same situation as you, but a lot of folks here have been there. Click on "Community" then "Find Members" and look for folks that have made your journey. I would caution you against trying to loose weight "fast". You really need to change your mind set to becoming HEALTHY, when you do, the weight…

Congrats!

Stop bragging... geesh... lol Congratulations on your success!

My wife has the same thing. We purchased bikes and have been having a great time riding together almost every day .... After the baby, you can get a baby trailer (with a seat belt and roll bar PLEASE) and still do it!

Go for it! AND we wish you GREAT success!

Talk to you personal doctor first before talking to the folks that are going to make money off you doing it. Research all the pros and cons. Give MFP a good chance first. Slow weight loss and learning a healthy lifestyle is the best way to go unless you have medical problems that prevent it. Good luck to you!!
