IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT MFP . . .
IT WOULD BE: _______________________________?? ~ okay, so i know people will say "MFP is a FREE app, so quit bit%#ing!!" ~ i'm not dissing MFP ~ i love it ~ that's why i'm still here 180+ days later; AND ~ others will say "go to facebook!" and to them i would say "i'm already there, sweety, but they won't let me log my…

Doctor Visit Full of NSVs ~ :)
so, i went to see my doctor today. i was so nervous, because for every visit last year she printed me out information for gastric bypass surgery - suggesting that it was my only recourse to lose weight at this point in my life. i was taking two blood pressure meds, a heart med (for palpitations) and a daily preventative…

nsv! yay!
so, i can't really figure out how to post a pic, unfortunately, but my profile pic is a before (July 2011) and a now (taken today) that i took because i'm wearing the same shirt - with two very different looks! i wasn't going to do a pic like this until i reached at least 50 pounds, but i needed the motivation myself to…

is it wrong
that after walking / jogging 2 miles at the high school track, i removed my sneakers, put on some flip flops, hopped in my jeep and drove around for a mile or two with all the windows down to *chill out* before coming home?? haha i just keep telling myself that i'm lapping the old me!!

strange nsv or my imagination? LOL
i have lost 42 pounds and am sure i've lost inches too (can't for the life of me accurately measure, so i've given up on that) and am firmly on track. however, something strange has happened to me in the last week or so: my legs seem to have become shorter. it's the strangest thing! i had to move the seat forward in my…

Mistaken Identity or Quick on His Feet?
okay, so i've recently really started to get serious about adding regular exercise to my routine and i've felt pretty good about it. i have lost 40+ pounds in less than 100 days and this morning, as i was getting dressed to go walking, i was thinking my "belly bloat issues" are pretty much behind me and i was feeling…

yoga?
does anyone have any good suggestions for online yoga sessions to follow? my cable provider recently discontinued the "on demand" exercise channel (of course) and i am out of luck! i figured i'd ask the experts here, rather than spend my exercise time surfing the net! thanks! ;)

truly silly question
my truly silly question of the day is: i was stung between two toes last night just before bed by a very vengeful bumblebee who, apparently, wanted my bedroom for her own. the pain is, of course, gone - but the swelling is still fairly substantial - and the itching is nearly unbearable! argh!! i cannot take oral benadryl…

first, tiny, maybe even a wee bit silly nsv for me
okay, so i've lost just shy of 25 pounds and really haven't noticed any difference in my body at all ~ actually kind of a downer ~ but i tried on a pair of jeans this morning that are a size smaller than the ones i've been wearing - and easily buttoned and zipped them! so, not huge thing, but i have to say that i'm walking…

a GOOD low fat / fat free mayo on the market? i hate to admit it, but i LOVVVVVE hellman's mayo. i have shunned it and i miss it. lol. in the past i tried a reduced fat mayo and HATED it - it was bitter and left a nasty aftertaste. but that was a long time ago. has anyone found a TASTY mayo that almost makes you feel like…

Tips Wanted: Food Measuring and/or Weighing?
hi all! i've been logging in to mfp and exercising for 40 days and have, so far, lost 22 pounds. i have about 100 more to lose to reach my goal weight. my biggest "shocker" so far in this journey is my complete lack of reality when it came to portion and serving sizes of the foods i ate. at least until i think i've learned…
