Hi!
It’s been a REALLY long time since I’ve been in the forums. Anyway I’m Valerie. 38yr old female from NWIndiana. I have been on MFP for about 4 years- on and off. I’ve lost 75lbs, and I have a goal of 20lbs more. I work long 10-12 hr days, plus have a household and family to maintain- so I really only get to the gym 3 days…

41 lbs lost so far with pictures
Top left was me at my heaviest ( non pregnant weight ) of 240lbs. That was late summer 2012. Top right was me last week at work. Bottom left was me roughly 2 months ago ( I didn't dare take a photo of bare skin at 240... no way. ) Bottom right was me this morning after my work out at 199lbs. Work in progress, but I'm doing…

For everyone starting this...
Are you planning on doing it 30 days continuous, or just 30 days total? Do you do any other exercising besides this?

Reacher/Settler
Was watching HIMYM and it was the reacher/settler episode. Do you believe that's the dynamic in most relationships? Are you the reacher or the settler? Honestly I think I am the reacher, and my husband is the settler. Probably stems from my lower self esteem, and his over abundance. If I asked him, he would just laugh and…

Tarte
They have so many new try me size gift sets for Tarte products. Today I spent about $50 at Sephora, but I ended up with 3 different sets, plus 5 bonus items( beauty insider points ), and samples and whatnot. I'm so excited. I got the primer trio last time, and fell in love. What Tarte products have you tried that you liked?

Saving Money/ Cutting Costs
What do you do to save money or cut costs? I've always been horrible at that. If I wanted something, I'd just get it. I took a lesser paying job recently ( but I secured better benefits and less stress ) so I need to learn. I pretty much just stopped buying anything extra unless I have cash in hand to do so. I've decided…

Where is the make up junkie thread?
I can't find it. Can someone be helpful and bump it? I looked in my topics and don't see it.

Kinda serious question... faces
I was looking through a lot of fitness photos online and I've come to the realization that most of the women in them have old looking faces. Like their bodies are amazing, but their faces look so much older than they really are. Why? Is that something fitness related or just genetics or a combination of both? Maybe from…

Pre Planning
Do you pre plan your menu for the next day so you can stay on track? I find if I do this I don't deviate, but if I don't then I tend to go over.

Herbalife
Who uses it? Can you tell me more about it? I've just started. I have a great friend/consultant, but I'm looking for more success stories I guess.

Handling people who are jealous/sabotaging
How do you do it? Do you just ignore it? Does it work as a motivator for you to continue to do better? Does it hinder/hurt your progress?

Looking Up Past Flames On The Internet...
Would it bother you if your signifigant other was looking up old high school/college girlfriends/boyfriends on Facebook? My friend was venting to me last night and I'm honestly not sure how I'd feel. Ive looked up people from my past but there was no intent there to friend them. It was more like yeah dodged a bullet there.…

How do you block people?
On here? There are alot of people I'd rather just not see their nonsense. I know you can do it when they send you private messages, but there has to be a way to do it in general, no?

Burning Calories
How many calories do you specifically usually burn a day through exercise? I know it will be different for everyone. I'm just curious what the norm seems to be. I seem to burn about 300-400 calories a day doing roughly 30-60 minutes of light to moderate exercise.

Scale
How often are you supposed to weigh in? I haven't yet other than my intital profile set up. I don't even own my own scale. I just didn't/don't want to be obessed with numbers. I know what I am doing is working since I went down a pant size, and I can hook my bra on the tightest setting.
