missed a few days
OK...I haven't been on in a few days, but in all fairness, my hubby was in a horrible car accident last Monday right in front of my house and my 2 year old has been sick, so I have had a very trying week. I haven't really had time for anything except them. When I ate, I ate healthy. I weighed myself...didn't lose, didn't…

NSV ALERT

Acai Berry Supplements??
Any thoughts?? I need an extra helper. I am doing everything right, but I hit the plateau, and now I'm gaining weight :sad: so I am kinda at my wits end here. I am guessing that it's kinda like Alli (the OTC weightloss pill) but more natural. I am willing to go thru the numerous trips to the bathroom to speed this…

I joined this site so i could lost the unwanted weight and finally get in shape. I told myself I would do it at any cost. I quit smoking 10 days ago, and my diet has suffered from that. I had my "time of the month" last week, so I couldn't accurately weigh myself. Now that's over and my slip up is over, but I gained back…

My ultimate goal...
When I finally reach 150lbs (what I'm striving for) I will be rewarding myself with a brand new tattoo. I will be getting a dragonfly on my left shoulder blade. The reasoning behind that u may ask???

It's not a huge goal but at least I reached my first goal! I have had a pair of size 18 skinny jeans hanging in my closet for over 3 years now. I only wore them once...PRE pregnancy. They never fit again! When I started MFP almost 2 weeks ago, I couldn't get them up my thighs! OMGosh...that was embarrassing :0( So for the…
