Our daughters are watching our body image...
I have spent my whole adult life trying to not become my biological mother. She is 5'4" and weighs 350lbs. I have seen pics of my half sister on facebook and she has to be tipping the scale at 450+. I have always had a negative body image, I do not have a relationship with my biological family and I have always been scared…

engagement ring NSV
Before y'all get too excited I have been married almost 12 years. However 7 yrs ago, my wedding ring and engagement ring became too small. I bought a cheap Avon replacement, I figured since I was pregnant I would be able to put it back on after little lady was born. I have not fit into it since. Last year I bought a new…

have you had shoulder surgery?? Tell me about it please =]]
I have a partially torn rotator cuff. I injured it in Dec of '09, and it still hurts like crazy. I did 6 weeks of physical therapy, and then I did cortisone injections 3 times (this is part of my weight gain). When I first hurt my shoulder, I could not lift a cup of coffee without being in horrible pain. I can now lift my…

an NSV I have never seen posted before......
This may sound silly since I am the first person I have seen say this, but I will say it anyway. My towel fits all the way around me!! It used to fit around me like a tight dress with a slit up the thigh. I just now noticed there is no longer that slit, no gap in coverage, in fact there is an over lap. Silly as it may be…

eating out?? Were all screwed :)
According to this yahoo news article many restaurants are under reporting their calorie content. Some may be off as much as 100 calories. I do not eat out often, but when I do I try to plan ahead if they have an online nutritional value menu. Thought I would share this with all my MFP friends.…

WTF happened to me??
Today I had a nervous breakdown. My hubby's birthday was this past week and we had a party this past Saturday. I worked hard in my yard to get ready for the party, burned lots of calories. I was too hot to eat most days and even though I did not fill out my food diary everyday I know I was under my calorie allowance.…

Normal people.......
I know the reason I have been stuck at 30lbs lost for a month. I finally got a HRM. MFP calculates the calories you burn based on normal people. I am not normal people. I have low blood pressure. I have been turned away when trying to donate blood because "the bottom number needs to be over 50". So I began using my heart…

No longer a size 18!! ***** And no plans of returning*****
After being stuck at 30 pounds lost for about a month I was beginning to get frustrated. However, today for my daughter's kindergarten graduation I am wearing a size 10 skirt. I tried it on 3 weeks ago and could not zip it, and today I can!! So even though I have not lost weight I am still getting smaller :bigsmile: . When…

I would call this an NSV, would you???
Today the local news came out and did a story on "vampire electronics" Which means these electronics use energy while just plugged in, on stand by, or turned on and not being used. They brought out a gadget that tells you how much energy each thing uses while plugged in. It gives a reading for a weeks, month, or years…

I could easily fall off the wagon today.
Today my beautiful baby boy is a young man, a 13 yr old young man. It is bittersweet though...... Last summer he decided to live with his father. His father lives in Dallas and had really not been a big part in his life. I understand the draw to be with his dad. I did not grow up with my parents and I longed to be with…

Finals next week!
To all my college friends...... Good luck on your finals. We start ours next week. I am beginning to feel the old me creep back in. I was an emotional eater. Whether it was stress, sadness, anger, or happiness I ate. I have done so well not sabotaging myself like that. However, finals are upon us and all I want to do is…

I have new pics of me. This is the first time in a while I did not have to stick my neck out to try to hide my double chin. I have new pics on my profile. My first pic is the one with me and my hubby. I was 210 in that pic. I was at 204 when I started MFP. This is me 27 pounds later.

3 more pounds!!!!
This will be a small victory, but a great one. 3 more pounds and I will be in the overweight classification instead of obese. I had never thought of myself as obese until this past Jan. Now I am in the place where all my clothes are too small or WAY TOO BIG. I know I am not the only one on this journey, but sometimes it…

Allergy meds???
This may be too much info for you, and for that I apologize. The trees started blooming where I live about 3 weeks ago. Tree pollen makes me horribly sick. I started taking Zyrtec and began to feel much better. Except for one thing. Zyrtec has a side effect of constipation. So for the last 3 weeks I have had a BM maybe…

Spring break set back....
Yesterday I bought a new seat for my bike. The small itty bitty booty seat it came with was not enough for my massive badonkadonk. I found a seat at walmart that was twice the size of the one it came with was. I was so excited it is finally warm enough to ride. WELL..... Today I let the bubble butt boy (he takes after his…

Hi, I'm new.
My name is Vanessa, and I am new to MFP. I had a facebook friend who lost 60+ pounds using this site, and I thought I can do that too! I want to lose 60 pounds. I would love to have it all off by this summer. Well at least 40 off by the summer. I think this is a great forum the way it helps you count calories you eat as…
