10 down
I've decided mini-goals is the best way for me to go, so I'm doing 20 pounds each goal. (Trust me I have a ways to go). I just got over the half-way mark of my first goal, and seeing that ticker move the way it has is definitely an inspiration to me. First time I tried this, I had a lot bigger goal, and whenever I lost…

Just thinking....
My son had surgery Thursday. Last time I got exercise was Wednesday night, I walked about two miles. Since then nothing. I've managed to stay Right at or slightly over (I mean like 10 cals over) my calories. My son is still recovering (circumcision on a 6 year old). I'm finding it hard to get exercise because he's been up…

I never thought...
In a million years, I never ever thought I would lose 15 pounds. Some of you may remember me talking about taking Phentermine, well, I quite taking it, and now I'm down 15 beautiful pounds. Without the help of a drug. ALL BY MYSELF. I've been making wise choices (okay except that one time...Carl's Jr...grr, not blaming…

Exercise
I need to exercise more. That's all I really have to say. What machine-less, DVD-less, Video-less exercises do all of you do? Just curious. ALC

Carl's JR. NO-NO-NO
Yup. I went there. My family and I went to Carl's Jr. I hadn't eaten anything, so I was kinda hungry and in the mood for "mexican". So, what did I order. I ordered a Bean and Cheese Burrito Combo. Which came with a Bean and Cheese Burrito, Tortilla chips, rice, and refried beans. I luckily didn't eat all of it, but still I…

Dear CodyKitty...Please Read
What you said: "oi vey... I'm not sure how many times people expect me to apologize for coming off as what was perceived as "harsh" but this is the last time ... I'm sorry" And My response: Now it's my turn to apologize, I meant to say in my last reply that you're previous apologies were greatly appreciated. So for my lack…

I can't help but wonder...
Is it the pills or is it me? I recently sought help at a place called Calorie Counters. My sister had been going there, and according to her, she's lost 7 lbs in 3-4 months... that didn't seem a lot to me, but then she explained she hadn't been sticking to the diet prescribed by the doctor at Calorie Counters. However she…

Just sharing
I've decided, instead of trying to lose 110 pounds, I would make smaller goals. Of course the idea came from other MFP users (thanks btw). Currently I've lost ten, and have 25 to go. I decided that 25 pounds at a time would do the trick. That way as my ticker moves I can see plain as day that I am indeed making…

Just get up and go....
...That's what everyone says to do. Once you start, you'll have energy. YET, I still can't. Or, rather, I won't. Not really sure. Every morning I wake up, and while lying there, I'm okay. I get up and begin the usual waking of the older kids, and getting them ready and off to school. By the time they're showered (ages 4…

Depression
Hey everyone. :cry: Today's not starting off to good. But only because YESTERDAY ended horribly. My son had a game, and I knew we'd end up eating out that night, so I tried to behave myself. I had a light breakfast, small snack, soup for lunch, and then I began to feel tired, so I took a nap (My Friday was sooo busy I…

What to eat?
I'm sure this is a question that's already been answered and has a link, but I can't find it. So I'm going to ask it. :grumble: Can I eat anything, as long as I stay within/under my alloted calories? Today we had BBQ, I had boneless skinless chicken breast, corn on the cob, a small serving of rippled potatoe chips, a…

I was so excited I was yellin' and dancin around... my husband looked at me like I was crazy, and my baby girl (almost 1) was screaming and clapping along...she had a BIG smile on her face... she's…

Excercise on a budget
Okay, my main excercises are walking, and this Tae Bo video (Which doesn't really do much for me because I have NO balance). I don't have a treadmill or any other type of excercise equipment, nor does my house have stairs. There are a lot of days where I can't get out to walk because of rain, or Tornado Watches, stuff like…

Quick Question
The more I ask, the more I learn, so bare with me here people! I'm so sorry if my questions get annoying :wink: My question is this...how bad is it when you go over your protein? I kinda lost track of that today and went WAY over, but stayed well under my coloric intake. If it's a bad thing, is there anything that can be…

I got a good one!
Okay, Here's a toughy. I'm extreamly over-weight but I can in fact jog...it doesn't wear me out like you might think it would. My problem, is that when I begin to jog/run my ankle does weird things, the only way I can describe it is that I'll be running for about 10 seconds, and all of the sudden I'm no longer running on…

Is this right?
Okay, today I had a slim fast for b-fast and lunch. and half a tuna sandwich as a snack. My husband took us all out to dinner, mexican of course! Well, once I finally got everthing entered into my food diary, I was over my alloted calories by about 100 calories, then I entered all my excercise for the day, and I was out of…

Well, poo
I've definately hit a snag today! :sad: I had a serioulsy bad case of the munchies. I tried everything I could think of to supress it. By the grace of God I was able to stay below my calories, thanks largely to the fact that I cleaned for about 6 hours ( I thought I couldn't but after having seen another member on MFP do…

Chocolate :)

At least one candy bar a day...something chocolatey of course...I don't really like them, but I do crave them, why, I don't know.…

stumped.
Hey everyone, I'm a little stumped at the moment. I had a Taco Salad from Taco Bell this afternoon, I looked it up, and couldn't find what I was looking for. I know they're now called "Fiesta Taco Salad", but my issue is that I ate it, but not the shell. Does anyone know how many calories are in the shell? I tried finding…

I think I'm broken!
Well, today was an odd sort of day. I posted a bloger earlier this morning, telling you all how excited I was that I'd lost weight, then another one that wasn't so happy because I was feeling hungry, but didn't think I should eat. I got great advice from everyone and for that thank you. I followed the advice given, which…

I can't stop this feeling
I've lost five pound so far with the help of this site :happy: ! I was so excited about 45 minutes ago, but now, I'm starting to feel hungry :grumble: . I've heard that a lot of times, when someone feels hungry they're really thirsty. So I tried downing some water, but still I want to eat :mad: . I've already eaten this…

Hello World!
Wow. I'm so happy today! :happy: I started this back on the 28th of March. I decided to first see what kind of calories I was consuming before beginning my lifestyle change. Man...I couldn't believe it. I more than doubled what my husband was eating, and not losing hardly anything. Needless to say, I'm a bit disgusted and…

Jumping
Hey. Well, today hurt. Yes, it hurt. I decided to jump on our giant trampoline for 15 minutes, but two minutes into it, I landed on my left ankle...yeah...my ankle. Get this though, my ankle's not hurt. However, my knee is absolutely killing me. It's sensitive to the touch! I've heard a lot of people say "walk it off". So…

It starts!
Well, here's the deal! I decided to keep track and work my butt off to lose weight! However, before I began I decided to keep track of what I would normally eat. So for the first week or so I did what I normally do, including excercise, and eating what I normally eat, just to see and know! Well, today was my final day, and…
