I am going through the same thing with my neice. She was getting so out of control that we moved her in with us for three years to get her back on track and away from her bad influences. Well mom then becomes the best friend and now she had to be asked to leave because we cannot condone the choices she is being allowed to…

I used to do that all the time and kept bouncing between a couple pounds until I finally got real with myself and said that having a bad week does not mean I need to make it worse! Changing mindset towards the scale is key. This week was hard for me to because I worked out six days this week (doing P90X) and stayed the…

You look wonderful! Congrats on your progress and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :flowerforyou:

I am quiet & laid back and that people walk all over me (used to but not anymore) Because I am fat that all I do is sit on the couch with a bag of chips (I am one of the busiest business woman in my circle of friends) I used to get the look at the gym from the skinny girls and guys of pity like oh the poor soul she won't…

It would be hard to make a judgement call on it without know the entire situation but I would have to say that the courts did their due diligence to try and fix the situation before removing him. We don't know if she herself is morbidly obese as well so then you are dealing with a family issue of learned behaviors that…

I still allow myself peanut butter but what I do is measure out half of a serving and melt it in the microwave for about ten seconds and mix it until it is smooth. It spreads easily for me on bread, eat with a banana or to dip celery or apple slices in. This way you will not feel you have to give it up completely and still…

Thanks guys for the ideas! I will give them a try this week.

Too much sodium in your food maybe? Not drinking enough water? Not eating enough food to sustain your activity level? Gaining muscle? Could be many things but without seeing your food journal not sure if it is food related. Make sure you are logging everything that goes into your mouth. Little bites here and there add up…

I am tearing up with you! So proud of your hard work...it is definately working! Enjoy this moment and keep moving forward. Congrats!

I was watching nursery at church one Sunday and this little two year old came up to give me a hug he then patted my stomach and said "how come your stomach is so big...my mommy's is not like that".....yeah I wanted to die. Then once I was forced to get off of a roller coaster because they could not get the belt locked for…

You are awesome! Thanks for posting!

When I did it I did ten days level one and then moved up. As for the tummy I bought some compression pants (they look awful on :laugh: ) and wear them under my workout pants. They help a ton. I checked into spanx but I could not justify spending that much money on them knowing you will need to change sizes as you get…

Thanks for the great ideas!

YUCK! There is no way I would stay over there. I cannot stand a filthy home and I will not eat, sit or take my shoes off in a home that is not clean. Oh and don't get me started on the wet socks or wet toilet I would rip someones head off. :laugh: Stepping in water in socks really is a pet peeve...don't know why but it…

Add me if you would like support. You can do this!

Cereal=Depends on the kind but mine semi-soft with a bit of crunch still in it Banana=Peeled from stem PS. My husband peels from the other end only because it does not smash the tip of the banana...I mean really who cares...and also had to mention that this is the way monkeys do it because it is easier to peel. HAHA

Okay I am in...water no problem...but will need to work on the calories but I will do it!

Yummy...thanks for sharing!!

Weekends are so hard aren't they? Here is what I do. I changed my official weigh in day to Sunday mornings first thing so it keeps my food in check on Friday and Saturday. Sunday is my "free" day where I do not workout and I am not as strict with my calories as that is our family day so we tend to have dinner out. I make…

I have weighed myself during the week as well just to make sure I am on track and not retaining a bunch of water. I have one official weigh in as well and it is on Sunday mornings first thing, no clothes and before any food or drink. I like weighing in on Sundays so it keeps me in check on the weekends as those seem to be…

Thanks for sharing. I have never had Quinoa but have been wanting to try it.

My husband & I both have found that the Wii fit figures very low and alot of the reason is you really have a hard time getting the controller to register with the machine because your moving so much. I would suggest using what MFP has or cut it down a bit if that makes you feel better. Just remember that MFP is most likely…

You have no complaints from me. To be quite honest I was getting a little disturbed by the amount of sexual content and very heavy and sometimes inappropriate flirting. I am all for making friends and if someone finds a soul mate on here so be it but keep the conversations clean and private if they need to become…
