Have you ever been knocked up? Share, please!
Please answer the following questions for my sanity's sake. :laugh: 1. What were your first symptoms of pregnancy (I'm okay with tmi)? 2. How far along were you when you tested positive on a home pregnancy test? Thank you! I'm losing my mind right now and I need some affirmation (or not).

Sometimes it takes a while for it to really sink in.
I came across the most horrible and disgusting photo of myself today. The photo is horrible enough on its own... and then I realized it was taken last October -- AFTER I started losing weight September 8th last year. I had already lost *at least* EIGHTEEN POUNDS when this photo was taken. I say "at least" because I don't…

Proform Treadmills -- 345s or j4?
I've been lurking on Craigslist for a few weeks for a treadmill under $200. I have 2 options now: Proform j4 and Proform 345s. My boyfriend and I had decided to make an offer on the j4 last night ($180) and the seller accepted the offer. It's about 40 miles away so we'd go pick it up. The ad contained pictures & the…

I bought a dress! For the first time.... ever!
I bought the black and blue dress. I've never bought a dress for myself before. EVER. It's a size twelve. :happy: Those jeans in the first 2 pictures are size 22! I'm just a little excited. :blushing: Edit: LOL, sorry about the ridiculous faces I'm making in pretty much all the pictures. :laugh:

So, holy crap, it fits
3.5 years ago I found the most amazing skirt in a thrift store. It's a size 14, which was 2 sizes too small for me then (and 4 sizes too small for me when I found MFP last September). I thought "Some day, maybe I'll finally lose enough weight to wear it." I promptly packed it away in a box for "some day" & proceeded to…

Before & halfway comparison
I got a little excited about this. Okay -- so I'm in workout clothes & gross but we can all get over that, right? :tongue: 1st picture is from May 2008. This wasn't even my highest weight but I certainly can't find any pictures of myself from my highest weight (probably about 10 pounds more. Let's just say neither cameras…

Did your healthy lifestyle change your TOM cycle? (sorry if
I've been on MFP for 5 months as of yesterday. Eating healthy foods, exercising moderately (I bike about 50 miles a week and run about 8 at this point, so nothing excessive). Okay, so this may be way TMI, but I've always had a pretty short menstrual cycle. 20-22 days between the 1st day of TOM and the 1st day of my next…

"Party" food suggestions?
My friends and I have started getting together every week and we're going to start bringing food with us to our little gatherings. I just want some easy party food ideas that are HEALTHY but that are also delicious. It's safe to say I'm the only one who gives a flying f*** what goes into my mouth so I want to bring stuff…

Potassium chloride
I just wondered what the general feeling is here on using potassium chloride as a substitute for sodium chloride (table salt) for those of us who do not have medical conditions that make us overly sensitive to potassium. Edit: I don't mean a substitute for all sodium chloride, of course, because I recognize sodium chloride…

Willpower -- what?
So I'm sitting at my desk at work at 2.45pm on Friday afternoon. TOM is here so of course I just got a chocolate craving. The man in the office next to me keeps a huge jar full of chocolate, so I think to myself "Well, I'll just go get one piece of dark chocolate with almonds." I had my mind made up, this is what I was…

Constantly going over sugar recommendation
I'm not able to keep my sugar intake under the 29 grams MFP recommends. I love eating fruits and veggies as snacks, or to have a cup of light milk, but I constantly go over those 29 grams of sugar because of those choices. Yesterday I went over it by 9 grams, but the day before I went over by 62! Friday by 30, Thursday by…

My first workout success!
I just finished a 60 minute workout on my stationary bicycle! I'm so excited! Now, I know that may not seem so great to al the fit folks, but I'm coming from a very sedentary lifestyle at about 266# here. The longest I've ever done before is 40 minutes and I thought I was going to die. I usually give up after 20. Tonight,…

New!
Hi everyone! I'm Julie and I'm 5 pounds into a 110 pound (:noway: ) weight loss goal. I plan to become a regular on this site and in the discussion forums. My general (lifelong) problem with exercising and eating well has always been with becoming bored with a lack of motivation so I'm glad I'll have this site to help me…
