  • Hi, I haven’t gardened in probably six or seven years but I’m working from home and ready to try my hand at it again. I have three 4’x8’ raised beds that I used to use for square foot gardening. In the past, I was successful starting snap peas by Valentines Day, with turnips to follow by March. My summer veggies included…

  • Hi, I’m late to the party but this thread resonates with me. I’m 41. I’ve lost 27 pounds with close to a hundred left to go. My mom is quickly losing her mobility. It became noticeable in September. She has uncontrolled diabetes (won’t change her diet), COPD, and neuropathy. I am a runner but I fell into a sedentary…

  • Hi, I'm back at this after bouncing up and down over the fall and early winter. I'm finally seeing weight loss again, and so relieved. I would love to be buddies.

  • Chocolate Covered Katie is a great resource. I love her chocolate banana "soft serve," This is what I turn to when I'm craving ice cream or chocolate. But, also, if you are craving chips or something, would it be possible to buy a single serving size and build that into your calories for the day? Sure, it wouldn't be great…

  • August 27 is my 30th birthday so I'm absolutely in! I'm 221 now, so if I were to lose 15 by then, I would be within waving distance of onederland. See you Monday!

  • Actually, I take that back. Apparently stevia can also cause side effects such as bloating, nausea, dizziness, muscle pain, and numbness. http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-682-STEVIA.aspx?activeIngredientId=682&activeIngredientName=STEVIA Splenda:…
    in STEVIA VS. SPLENDA Comment by Mrs_Hull April 2012
  • I would say stevia because it is natural, right? Splenda can cause all sorts of nasty health problems. We don't allow it anywhere near our house. With that said, I have not tried stevia. I am a tried and true fan of using plain old sugar or honey.

  • I'll join! I'm a SAHM to my 10 year old son and my 2 year old daughter. I have about 100 pounds to lose and I'm up to challenging myself to lose 15 or 20 in the next two months. I'll join the circus on team red!

  • Once I lose my first five pounds, I'm going to get my brows done. I let them go during my busy spring and now they badly need to be reshaped.

  • That's not right. Ignore this goober. =) My net is 1440. The 2000 I got from what I'm supposed to eat if I count the exercise.
    in eating all your calories? Comment by Mrs_Hull July 2011
  • Thanks for posting this. I wonder the same thing, too. It seems like I am eating more than I was before I was trying to lose weight, yet my weight was stationary then. I have noticed a slight difference in the scale this week, but I won't count my official weigh in until tomorrow. My net calorie goal is just under 2000,…
    in eating all your calories? Comment by Mrs_Hull July 2011
  • I am 28, also, and have about 100 pounds to lose at 5'5". I joined on Saturday, so I'm in day 6. I have also done weight watchers(which I liked, but is too costly) and sparkpeople. I prefer MFP to sparkpeople because SP figures your calories on how much exercise you would like to do, rather than what you have actually…

  • I've had the same question. I noticed recently that PayLess has the rocker-sole shoes for around $20 now, so it wouldn't be a HUGE waste to try them. I'm thinking about getting a pair for myself. FYI: My in-laws and my mother wear them and haven't displayed any noticeable difference, though.

  • I'm in my first week, too. It does look like you're doing well. I guess I didn't fully realize that we want to hit the calorie goal. That makes me feel a little better about my deviant brownie and cheeto snacks.
