My results: I wish I would have taken a before picture.. I looked hilarious with that bun on the top of my head.... :huh: I ended up…

Driver's License Victory Pic
I had to update my driver's license last October in order to change my last name to my married name.. We had almost been married a year so I figured it was past time :tongue: I was 6 months pregnant. I HATED my pic bc I felt like a looked like my face was carrying it's own little mini baby somewhere in there. :laugh: I…

Hey Oklahomans...
How about this weather!? In my neck of the woods, a cold front just came through, and it feels AMAZING outside! I got up to run this morning, threw on my usual running top and shorts, went outside.. and then had to go back in to get a long sleeved shirt! I hope all your other Oklahomans (and prolly Texans too!) are…

Fast Food is the Devil.
Get it through your head that FAST FOOD IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. It's not an easy lesson to learn, obviously. But fried chicken, bacon cheeseburgers, pizza, and curly fries are out to kill you. Seriously. They hold meetings once a month and discuss different ways to tempt us, pretend to be our best friend, and then turn around…

Driver's License Weight..
I noticed something awesome today! I got my driver's license when I was 16. I'm 23 now. Each time I've gotten a new one, I "forgot" to tell them my weight had gone up (you think they'd be able to notice just by looking at me, haha)! I pulled it out of my wallet today and realized that I am only TWO and a half pounds…

Where'd it GO!?
I had a baby in January. I was already heavier than I'd ever been when I got pregnant, and then I gained 40+ lbs. My husband, apparently, LOVED pregnant me. He was always squeezing my muffin top (Eww, I know) and whistling at me. Seriously? I felt enormous, unattractive, bloated... anything negative and I felt it. And my…

Advice for the Sicklies
Ok.. so I usually run daily. Normally for only 30 minutes, sometimes less, sometimes more, just depending on what my body is telling me. I've been sick the past few days. Stomach virus. YUCK. So my usual running routines have taken a backseat. I am feeling a thousand times better today and I really really really want to…

To You 1200 Calorie Doers..
I applaud you! I can't do it. Ok.. that's a bit of an exaggeration. I'm sure I could if I were truly committed but... I go through a week of eating around 1200 calories a day, and it's the hardest thing EVER! I truly believe that every body is different. Mine just isn't okay with a 1200 calorie diet, and I am perfectly…

The average woman...
would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think! :laugh: Sorry fellas.. Just thought that was too funny!!

Any breastfeeding moms out there??
I have a 6 month old who I'm still BFing. I did tons of research before I started dieting about how BFing moms should add 500 calories to their daily intake. I never did that... I've lost all my baby weight plus some. But, on the other hand, my milk supply has always been low, so maybe that's why! I'm just curious to see…

Healthy Eating = Robbing a Bank?
I've recently come to the conclusion that I really should just plant my own garden... if only I had the time!! My husband and I have two kids, a 5 year old daughter and a 5 month old son. His car broke down several months ago and has been driving his mother's single cab truck. I have been driving the same car since I was…

(Pics!) My Ups and Downs (and ups and downs!)
(I'm sorry if my pics don't come up at first or if I post the same picture 900 times.. This is my first time to post photos!) I have always been active.. my entire life. I'm 5'4" and have always had what my sister calls a good, curvy shape. When I graduated high school, I went to college and played a year of softball. When…

My "Almost-There" Dilemma
It's been a long journey, but now I am only a mere FOUR lbs away from my goal! YAY! My problem is.. I feel like I just want to quit at "good enough." Anyone have any advice on how to motivate yourself when you're so close to your goal, especially since it's the hardest to lose!?

New-ish
I'm not technically new to MFP, but I feel pretty new! I have hardly any friends on this because A) None of my "real" friends have MFP and B) I don't like being held accountable, so I didn't want anyone to see my profile! However, I don't do well without encouragement, so I'm calling out to all you MFP-ers for help! Add me…
