New MFP friends and Fitbit trackers
My name is Carol, stay at home mother, 44yrs old with about 47 lbs to lose. I would love to have and also be a motivational friend getting back into the best shape of our lives. I walk most mornings and want to get back into yoga and weight lifting. My food weaknesses are anything salty and wine. I think I am finally tired…

Healthy Breakfast Sandwiches?
Anyone have a great recipe for breakfast sausage patties? I love sausage mcmuffins (without egg - I have an allergy) and want to lighten it up. I've tried a couple turkey/chicken recipes but they haven't turned out, mostly that the texture was awful. And processed cheese - how bad is it? I'm kind of confused by what cheese…

What's realistic to expect in 2.5 months?
I just found out I might be going down south in 2.5 months and while that is a nice get away, I just dread having to be in a bathing suit around my hubby and friends. I've got around 45 lbs of extra weight, mostly around my mid-section while being quite small boned otherwise. Even if I did everything right between now and…

What works for you?
I'm just curious what everyone's best dieting tip was. I know you can lose weight eating anything provided your calories are in check but I was curious to hear of effective dieting strategies that people found really successful. I know I need a lifestyle change that is sustainable and not just some "diet" to follow but I…

Knee pain and back hip pain
Anyone else having a problem with their knees? I'm not trying to complain my way out of doing the 30-day shred. I have a love/hate relationship with it but like what I'm seeing after 4 days of it BUT my knee was having major random hurting spasms earlier today. They stopped so I did my 4th day today and the same knee cap…

Need inspiration from stay at home mothers
What is your exercise routine with small children? I would love to hear how you incorporated regular exercise with your little ones. I find it a real struggle exercising with my very spirited daughter who either objects to my keeping her upstairs where I have more room to exercise or who is trying to jump on me while…

I have had it!!!
I apologize in advance for the length, bad spelling, etc because I am literally melting down with anger in a way that I have not allowed myself before because I am sick of all the negative comments I get from my family about my weight. I have wanted to vent before but talk myself out of it, don't want to appear whiney, you…

DVD recomendations
I seem to be struggling to find an exercise DVD I like for home. I am a stay at home mother so getting to the gym isn't easy and I live in a small town that doesn't really have many classes anyway. I used to be a big gym person, years of aerobics and am just not interested in the typical classes anymore so while I bought…

Looking for motivation and others to join in
I have the best of intentions but without something to keep me accountable, I seem to keep slipping back into bad habits and lie to myself that I will start the week fresh again next Monday. Since being a stay at home mother, I just keep putting off my health and happiness. I hate being 45lbs overweight when I was so fit…

Anybody need a buddy?
I feel like I'm not going to make the necessary changes in my life without help and really like the idea of having a small group of similar women to help motivate and support each other, kind of like our own virtual weight watchers meetings and a place to be accountable to. I am 41 years old, 5'4" and 170lbs. I am…

App for iPhone
Just wondering what the best app is to track distance and mph walking? Wasn't sure if there was anything that updated or linked that data to this site or which ones work best with certain heart monitors. Would love some feedback before I go downloading just any one. Thanks.

Over 40 with over 40 to lose (starting over again)
I'm not new here but starting new again and looking for some truly great people to help inspire each other that have similar goals. I am a stay at home mother and have a hard time with constantly snacking on things being home. When I worked full time, I managed my weight well but at home it is a different story. I love…

I realized I needed to do something to make myself more accountable and stumbled across this site while looking for the WW iphone app. Not sure how this compares to WW but the fact that it's free, I…
