Thank you:) I am kind of embarrassed. I wasn't throwing that in for kudos so to speak, but to show that I was dedicated enough to want to teach:)

I agree that the people who work with the students directly definitely do not get paid what they should. I am currently in my last year of my degree to teach! I did most of that degree while I was working full time at a inner city school district as a special education paraprofessional while also raising my two children,…

I am in. Starting weight is 179:)

I wouldn't worry about him then. He is obviously shallow and a child still. I was a size 6 when I got pregnant with my son. After my son, I weighed 230. My hubby claims he didn't notice and I was still beautiful. That is a real man. Not this, I am leaving you because you're fat crap. It was probably for the best! Don't let…

I had first met my now husband when I was 12 and he was 14 through my cousin. My hubby was in a play and my cousin brought me with him to go see it. Fast forward 5 years, meet his brother and then "met" him again. We have been together 11 years, married for 5! Love of my life!!

My mother passed away in February from a couple of ailments, one being due to obesity. Fast forward to vacation, saw picks, and realized that I could have the same fate as her one day, leaving my kids without a mother. Signed up late July and have lost 22 pounds and have gotten below the 200 pound mark. Hoping to at least…

Chobani Pineapple is my favorite. Lately though, I do Chobani Vanilla with a cup of grapes and 1/2 cup of honey nut cheerios:) Sounds weird, but it is so good!!

This past week a friend came over for dinner and last I saw him was September 17 when we buried my mom. I weighed 189 that day. Well, at dinner he asked if I lost more. I said ya like 7 pounds and he asked me if I was sure because I looked like I lost a lot more than that:) I love that!!

First I have to say, you look amazing!! My starting weight July 28 2011 was 200lbs My heaviest weight was last summer 2010 at 230 lbs My current weight is 181 lbs My ultimate goal would be 135lbs but I will take 141lbs:)

I clean my house everyday, so I don't log that, but once every two weeks, I clean my Aunts house for 3 hours vigorously and wear my hrm. I burn 500 calories in those 3 hours, so I log those! However, standing??? Well then, I guess I will log my sitting;)

YAY! I love these! While only down 3 pounds or so in October, I am totally ready to kick butt in November!!

Thank you all for your replies. Usually I eat lots of fruits and veggies, but haven't made it to the store, that is Monday:) Exercise has not been my strong suit lately, so I step it up! I switched to 1 pound loss a week and hope to see if that helps. I will let everyone know! Thanks again guys! I totally appreciate it!!!

cheese doritos dipped in sour cream. Doesn't sound good, but once you start, you can't put the bag down!!

I used it and gained 10 pounds in 2 weeks. Then when I went to return it for a refund, they magically lost my shipment and refused to give me my money back. It is a scam. MFP works the best. Good old counting cals and exercise!!

no problem. I thought maybe it was my computer or I was losing my mind lol:)

I tried putting my weight in the spread sheet and the spread sheet comes up empty. Is anyone else having this problem? On a positive note, I lost 2 pounds, I drank all the water, and did 10 miles. However, only 150 push ups:/

I would say for the cranberry sauce, cooking it homemade and watching how much sugar you use should be ok. As for the turkey, eat the breast with out the skin. Adding chicken broth to the mashed potatoes instead of milk will add flavor, less fat, and make them fluffy. Either way, as long as you just watch portion size, you…

so excited and this time, I will get into the mini challenges. While I did them last month, I did not do a good job of posting my results:(

I did the same as well. I just wasn't losing weight. But I upped my calories and the weight is coming off! Good luck. I am sure you will do great.

Ha. Actually no I didn't get my money back. I shipped it back like they said and they swear they never received it. Of course not. I think it is a scam and that is how they make their money

I LOVE Greek Yogurt! Chobani is the best. My two favorites are the pineapple and the blueberry. Their strawberry is good as well! The texture and flavor of greek yogurt is totally different then regular yogurt because they strain it more. Enjoy!

I tried it and gained 10 pounds in 2 weeks:(

you are more then welcome to look at my diary. I think my daily intake is 1350. I do burn anywhere from 300 to 800 calories a day and eat some of them back. I love to cook, so I usually don't eat the same things over and over:)

I don't have to beg, it was just wording lol And that wasn't what the post was about, it was about recommending Zumba...

What caused me to spiral out of control....that is a long story. When I was younger, until I was between 8-10, I was relatively thin. At 8, I hit puberty, yes, 8 years old. Around 10 I started eating more and by the time I was 12, I wore a size 12. At 16, I joined my schools track team with my best friend and became…

YAY! I am on it and correct:) Can't wait. Only 5 pounds lost in August, hoping at least 8-10 in September:)

count me in. I love extra motivation:)

I think I will take you up on the offer of weighing in next Wednesday. I lost a pound but would love to make it two:)

The Chobani Pineapple is my favorite!

What's more suspicious is that you have neighbors that have nothing better to do than stare out their window and watch what other people do! OMG! lol
