Here I am again
So about 3 years ago I lost 83lbs by using mfp and exercising, and here I am having gained almost all of that back. I don't even understand how I let that happen, I don't know why I didn't nip this *kitten* in the bud 40lbs ago, 20lbs ago, etc, but I just kept on ignoring it. My daughter is 15months old and I've been going…

Oldie but goodie
Old member, but needing a fresh start. I'm hoping that by reintroducing myself to the boards it will help me get in the mindset to get this done and hold myself accountable. Last year I went from 260+ to 183, we moved to a new station, add a 1 month visit to all the family during the move and add in the fact that gyms are…

Like most people with a lot to lose, a lot of days I still feel like I'm as huge as I always was, even though I'm wearing smaller clothes..it's just hard to see the difference you know?

Run for your lives!
I just wanted to share this race for anyone who may be interested as well. I hadn't heard of it until a couple of weeks ago, and as soon as I did I immediately decided to do it so that's what I'm training for right now. http://runforyourlives.com/ My husband and I are doing it in December, which is my personal deadline for…

About 40lbs down!
So I've lost about 40lbs, but with still about 40-60ish to go sometimes its hard for me to really see the fruits of my labor. Today was my son's kinder graduation and just out of curiosity I decided to compare last year's pre-k graduation pics and while it may be slight, I can definitely see a difference and it was a much…

Portion size calculator?
Does anyone know if there's a website where I can put in all of my ingredients, set how many people it serves, and it'll tell me what the weight/amount of each serving is?

I decided to start up a whole new profile since I hadn't been on my old one in about 10 months. I managed to…
