Was blessed with a new Treadmill, now ifit???
So, a friend of ours sold us a NordicTrac C2000 treadmill for $100 today!!!!!!!! I am more excited than I can put into words. This was totally out of the blue when I mentioned I'd love to have a treadmill eventually! So, I am so not prepared, lol. It has ifit capabilities, but I don't know anything about ifit. Anyone have…

Goal Clothes (THE dress)
Has anyone had good experience with finding an item of clothing you LOVE and purchasing it in the size you are working towards as motivation? I found the perfect dress to pick hubby up from the airport in when he comes home on r&r in July. I'm SO tempted to buy it in the size I hope to be by then but have read mixed…

Goal weight dilemma...
I should mention that this might contain TMI for some people, lots of breast reduction issues ahead. I'm 5'2", smaller framed and currently 158.5 lb. When I started MFP, I somehow picked 112 lb as my goal weight. I don't really know how I came up with that number, I just know I'd be skinny at 112, lol. I'm having breast…

Chocolate without guilt
I love chocolate, almost as much as I love Buzz Lightyear, but that's another post. My poor, sweet husband, lol! Anyway, I LOVE Easter chocolate....snickers eggs, hollow bunnies filled with peanut butter and honey, cadbury eggs....they have been taunting me in the grocery store :( And I'll admit to caving more than I…

Eating Clean and STUCK!
Help! I started South Beach Diet, because I was a total carb addict, January 9. I never intended to make it my long term plan, more like carb rehab. I lost 12 lb pretty quickly and easily. Then in February, hubby found out he was headed to Afghanistan and we both threw healthy eating to the side and enjoyed his last few…

Increasing water causing kidney pain???
Ok, I've been doing wonderfully at eating clean. I don't drink coffee, ever. I do drink diet coke but I have severely cut back and am down to about 20 oz (or less) per day. I've also been drinking about 60-80 oz of water daily. We have Culligan at work and at home we have city water. Since I've upped my water, I've been…

Vibram Five Fingers
I went to see my trusted family doctor today because our youngest has bilateral ear infections and a UR infection... While we were there, he noticed I've lost weight and we got to talking about working out. He's the world's coolest doctor, well traveled and totally down to earth, his truck is older than my car and he's way…

Breast Reduction??
This has been a long term goal of mine and I have some questions for those of you who may have some experience here. I know I am going to need a reduction no matter how much weight I lose. I've lost 10lb in about 3.5 weeks, and I feel great about my diet but exercise is hard to find time for and hard to keep doing, partly…

What comes after stress???
Hi all, I'm not totally new to MFP but I haven't been really using the site either so my involvement is new :) I'm 33, married, 4 kids, work full time, the standard stuff...for the most part. I've been overweight for about 5 years but I've gained 27 lb since June of this year. I now need to lose about 30-40 lb. I want to…
