Finding my way back...looking for more friends
I'm no stranger to MFP, but I've been mostly absent for the better part of a year. Looking to get back on track and add some more support. The support of people here is what really helped me succeed last time!

We're Losing It-Biggest Loser Challenge (closed group)
Hey everyone! I decided to start a thread so everyone can introduce themselves and get to know each other and who you are competing against. You can also "friend" each other if you want. How about to start...your name, age and a couple of facts about yourself, fun or otherwise! I'll be posting info here and on my status…

Tears of Joy/30 Day Shred & MFP
I am not one to cry very often, but I have to tell you, as I type this, the tears are rolling. I am so overwhelmed by the events of the last couple of days, I don't know where to begin. The best place is probably to send out a HUGE thank you to everyone here who supports me every day...I honestly do not think I could do…

Personal trainer?
For those of you who have personal trainers or are personal trainers...would you mind sharing with me about how much it costs per session and how long your sessions are? I'm curious to know what the going rate is for this. Thanks!

Patience is not my best quality!
Arrrghh...this week my patience(or lack of it) has really been testing me! Why is it that I feel like I need to do this so fast? I know it's not the healthiest way to do it, but I stay on track so much better if I see those scales moving faster. Usually, I can talk myself down from this mentality, but I think because I…

Small Victories!
Okay, so I've lost 12lbs over the past three weeks, which should make me feel really good, right? Well, the only place I could REALLY tell was in my face...really, I lost 12lbs in my face?? Not really my idea of results I NEEDED to see. So, today I decided I needed to find some other way to show myself my progress. I put…

Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels...Really??
I have heard this phrase so many times over the years. Between attempts at Weight Watchers, my own diets, and other people's encouragement, I've probably heard it or thought about it a hundred times. Well, here's the problem...it's been so long since I was "skinny" that I don't even remember what that feels like, so it was…

Queen of the Couch
Yes, that could have been my title before getting on this site! I spent more time in front of my computer or television since being laid off from my job in November than is healthy. I joined this site just over a week ago and I must say, I have exercised anywhere from 20-60 minutes for 7 straight days!! I'm amazed how…

Starting Over at 37..
Hey everyone! Today is the first day of the rest of....my NEW life. After losing my job a couple of months ago and becoming a stay-at-home mom until I found a job, I decided it was time to make some major changes. The first thing I decided I HAVE to do is get this extra weight off...I'm so sick of it. The up and down, the…

Mom of 3 looking for support
Hey everyone! I am currently a stay-at-home mom with 3 kids, ages 5, 4, and 1. Up until a couple of months ago, I worked full time and felt like I never had time to take care of myself, so I can relate to the struggles of the super-busy mom and the stay-at-home mom. Since the place I worked went out of business and I have…

Give me strength today!
Today we are celebrating Christmas(yes, in January) with my husband's family. We do this every year and every year I struggle through this day. I am usually trying hard to get back on the healthy path after the holidays and two weeks later, this day comes along and threatens my willpower. Ugh...there is always a bunch of…
