Accountability.....
Who's looking for a little more accountability?! Well, I know that I sure as hell am because girls..... I NEED it! I weigh in on Wednesdays. You didn't see an update in my feed because MFP is kind enough not to say "MeAfter30 gained all her weight back, she sucks!" LOL! So here's what I am thinking... a weekly weigh in for…

First step... get to know each other!
Hi everyone! It's me again, my name is Brenda and I am so glad that we all have found this group! A little about me; I am 31, a wife and mother of three little kids, I am a stay at home Mom, a cancer survivor, and much to my dismay..... I am overweight! I guess that is putting it kindly. I have at least 80 pounds to lose,…

Candy! Grrrr!
Who else is struggling with the candy being so readily available these days?!?! Can't wait for Halloween to be over!

Making this a lifestyle change...
I know that I need to make this a lifestyle change, I think we ALL know that! So we have to start changing our bad habits.... but damn habits are hard to break! Tonight I went to the Olive Garden and I knew I would be going there for a few days beforehand. I looked up healthy choices before going, I HAD good…

Looking for a smaller group to join?!
Is the BIG picture a little overwhelming?! If so then please join me in the group that I just created for people like me and you who need a little extra support along the way.

Today is going to be a struggle!
It's only 11:30 and I have already eaten lunch and I still feel hungry! Uhg! I hate eating an early lunch but that is just how it worked out with the kids today. I just know today is going to be a constant struggle to not eat! Uhg!!!

Opportunities for success?
So.... in making this a success I think it is key to find the opportunities that will change you. For example today I had to take my son to his half hour class. I usually just sit in the van and wait for him to be done, however today I decided to go for a walk instead! Yay! How about everyone else?!?!

Hello? (Echo....echo...echo....)

I really am looking forward to meeting a few people who are like me, who I can get to know, and they can get to know me, and we can support each…

Got Eggs?!
Was watching TV a little earlier and they said that a study showed people who ate eggs for breakfast lost 60% more weight than those that didn't. :noway: I have never been a fan of eggs, but I recently started having them for breakfast occasionally and I have noticed on the days that I have eggs for breakfast I seem to…

On Dr. Phil today
I think the clever title is something like Fat Attack, the clips show husbands calling their wives names, making pig noises and such! I have told my husband on a number of occasions that I sometimes wish he wouldn't be so okay with me being overweight. I mean, don't get me wrong, I know he would love it if I were skinny,…

Looking for support?
MFP should have an official want ad section. You know a place where you can post details about yourself in hopes of finding someone who is compatible with you to help support you along your journey, and vice versa. Well this is my "want ad" posting. I am a married mother of three who is overweight and sick of it. I have…

Tattoo?
Getting a tattoo and I am debating where to get it. I WANT to get in on my back on my shoulder blade. However I am thinking maybe I should get it on my ankle. (It's not a very big tat) What I am worried about is it stretching or distorting with weight loss. I know the ankle is a safe place to get it. Anyone know if the…

It's the last week of the challenge ladies!! Wow this month went by quickly. :noway: Well as some of you may know my knee has been acting up quite a bit and is making exercise, even just walking a challenge.

Mirena users?
I am scheduled to get the Mirena in a couple of weeks. My doctor assured me that it does not cause weight gain (or prevent weight loss for that matter). However doing some searches online I have read forum posts of women who have said their experience has been just the opposite. I'm confused now, and concerned about…

A newbie who can't lose!
Hello world, I am a newbie who can not lose. Litterally. :cry: I just finished chemo a few months ago and I am eager to lose the weight I gained during treatment as well as the weight I already had before all that! However, sadly, my metabolism is out of wack from all the drugs and it's looking like it may take some time…
