Seeking motivators: AKA *kitten* kickers.
Hey y'all! I'm back (for the millionth time), but this time, it's for good! It was a real kick in the face to stand on the scale and see that I was only four pounds away from weighing as much as I did when I delivered my daughter- 17 months ago! Thus, here I am....again. I'm off to a pretty good start (11.2lbs down!), but…

I'm back...after an almost 2 year hiatus.
Hard to believe that the last time that I was using (on a daily basis) MFP, I had just found out that I was pregnant. My daughter is now almost one and I'm ready to make my grand (re)entrance. I lost 30 pounds using MFP before I got pregnant. I gained 44 pounds with my pregnancy, lost 25 of it and now I'm only 13 pounds…

Looking for friends for motivation.
Hey y'all! I've been on MFP for almost a year (I think) and I've had 3 different groups of friends. The only problem is that the people that I've added, haven't commented on a thing that I've posted! The post stuff, I comment on it. I post stuff, I get nothing. Not very supportive, eh? So, I am not looking for new friends…

Lose the weight, keep the curves.
One thing I [still] LOVE about my body is that I have an hourglass shape. Maybe not the smoothest hourglass, but an hourglass nonetheless. What exercises would be good for me to lose the weight, but keep the curves and even accentuate and tone the curves? Thanks guys!

Huge NSV! (at least for me)
This morning, I awoke to find that I had slept on my shoulder very, very wrong last night. It hurts so freaking bad! On top of this, I am super tired and completely unmotivated to do anything today. So, my plan was to just drive to McDonald's for lunch and I had every intention of over indulging there too; large fries, big…

Trying to get back on track!
I had great success with myfitnesspal when I first started, losing 20lbs. I've been off track for the last 3-4 months (gaining back 7lbs) and I haven't been running at all. I am terribly disappointed in myself but so ready to get back with it! I got engaged on the 7th (of August) and even though our wedding isn't going to…

Netflix
For those of you who are wanting to try work out DVD's, look on Netflix [if you have it]. I got my Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred on Netflix.

Tough time eating.
Is anyone else finding it harder and harder to consume all of their calories as they get further and further into their journey? I'm only on day 9 and it's hard for me to eat 5 times a day! Don't get me wrong, I do it but it's getting harder and harder to eat so much!

Taking days off.
Quick question y'all; Should I be taking break from my workouts? I currently work out vigorously Monday through Friday and on Saturday I try to get in a 30 minute walk/jog. Every time I take a day off from exercising [typically Sundays], I feel guilty! Does it matter if I take a day off or can I work out 7 days a week? [if…

That was then, this is now!
I used to think that stress was the only way that I could lose weight. When my brother died in 2006, I lost 30+ pounds. I didn't eat for a solid 2 weeks, nor did I sleep. As time moved on, I gained back the 30 pounds plus some. In 2010, while I was going through my divorce I lost 20+ pounds. Again, I wasn't eating. In the…
