Wow you look fantastic!! Congrats to you!!!

Maybe just start slow with 15 minutes and work yourself up to 30 min or more dialy. You can do walking,hand weights or those toning bands. Start with some small changes that you can stick with long term. Good luck to you!

Welcome go MFP! I can relate along with many others on here. You can do this!! I would recommend logging on each day and also giving support to others and reading the success stories!! Very inspiring!! Good luck to you!! Your one step closer to your goal!

Welcome to MFP!! You can definitely do this because you have a lot of support on here!! Feel free to add me. Good luck to you!!

When I lost weight last week there was a message that said that I may need to re-evaluate my numbers. When I was on weight watchers my points amount changed as I lost the weight. Good luck on your weight loss!

I think it is still considered red but I too have heard that it is supposed to be "the other white meat". If you eat pork loin and grill it, it is still less than some red meats. I just try to eat mainly chicken and turkey. Good luck!

Get plenty of lean protein, veggies and fruit. Keep track of your calories and exercise! One thing to keep in mind is that it is recommended to lose 1 to 1/2lbs a week.

I am fairly new to MFP as well and I really like it. Glad to hear that your losing the weight the healthy way!! I too have given up on trying to find the "miracle diet" and am now relying on exercise and eating healthier. I don't know why I didn't figure it out sooner but the important thing is that we learned a lesson! I…

Wow, what a difference!! That is great!!

Definitely notice the difference! Nice job!

Great job! Congrats!

Welcome and good luck on your journey!

We all have days when we fall off. Just get back up and go forward. Also if I overeat I will exercise, even if its just 15 minutes and that makes me feel a little better. Good luck!

I like watching Big Brother as well. I hope that Jeff and Jordan win because they seem like he most honest. I think the guy w/the beard will go home. I dislike Rachel.......she is a snake! But, without a villian they wouldnt have a show. :smile:

I deal wth stress and anxiety and I think that eating is a comfort or atleast for me it is. I am in the process of learning how to turn to exercise when I am upset. I agree with the other member about exercising and how it makes a person feel really good. You might also try to find something that you enjoy to do like give…

If your going to exercise while the kids are asleep you can get some hand weights, boxing movies, jumping jacks, lunges. You can also get those toning cords and do exercises with them. Both hand weights and toning bands are fairly inexpensive. If you don't have the extra money you can use canned goods or really anything…

Thanks for all the info!!! I appreciate it!

Thank you for your help and advice!! And CONGRATS on your 69lb weight loss!! That is excellent!!

You shouldn't be embarassed! Your looking great!! Congrats to you!

I really like it to get a lot of protein in for the day. I have tried several flavors and I think they are really good. I mix it with skim milk and it is pretty creamy.

I drink mostly water but occasionally i have a diet coke. I too have been reading that the artificial sweetners are bad for you since your body doesn't know how to process them because they are not really sugar. I still drink them on occasion but I do believe that they do cause cravings.If you like iced tea you can put…

We all struggle with the same issues. Weekends are the worst for me because all week I have a routine and do not have a lot of spare time. Weekends allow us more free time....to think and crave foods! All of us will fall off at times but we have to get back up and move forward. I don't go out as often as I used to but if I…

Sounds like a good plan to me. I think experts suggest that people lose 1 to 1 1/2lbs a week. Good luck to you!

You have accomplished a lot so far! You look great.............keep up the good work!

You can really tell that you have lost a lot of weight from those pics! What an inspiration you are! Especially today..I needed that today! Good luck to you!
