Sweat like a pig to look like a fox...4 Years later
4 years ago in January I decided to start using MFP to track calories. I have lost about 45 lbs and countless inches! I feel good about myself for the first time in my life. I don't dread buying clothes. I enjoy exercise and taking care of me for once. This is my picture from 4 years ago and then today. Last March 4th to…

Body shape
I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on body shape and type of exercise to do. I have been researching it. I am VERY apple shaped, which drives me nutso. If it weren't for my belly, I would be about 3 sizes smaller. Any thoughts??

NSV..made my day ;)
So my scale has not moved in 6 wks, but I had a few NSV's today that made me feel GREAT. I went to Maurices because I had a 20% off coupon and I have hardly ANY clothes that fit me correctly now that I've lost weight. First, the lady helping me was trying to find me jeans and she said I had SKINNY LEGS! Sheesh, that alone…

Scale
Sooo..how often do you change the batteries in your scale??? Mine has been fine, and last night for giggles I decided to step on (mostly because I had eaten a good amount of food/sodium last night) and it said I had gained almost 9 lbs. Seriously?! That is not right and I'm aware of that haha. My dr's office matched my…

What do you think?
I am a stay at home mom and run a daycare. When I first started MFP, I had my settings set to sedentary. I lost for awhile and then stalled. So, I changed my settings to lightly active and was losing up until about 4 weeks ago, and now I'm stuck again. The scale and the measuring tape have stayed the same, although my…

Breakfast?
I need some healthy and quick breakfast ideas. I have 4 kids and run a daycare so I can't really make something all the time. Right now I just eat dry cereal normally and I'm bored of that, plus I want to try to input some fruit or something. If you have any ideas I would be super thankful!!!!!:love:

Frustration
Hi! I have been using MFP since Jan 10. I lost 10 lbs right away in the first month. Since then I have only lost 2 more. I know I am losing inches but I am getting frustrated not seeing the numbers on the scale. I saw another post about "zig zagging" your calories so I looked into that. I did a calculator for that and it…
