Lightbulb Moment
I started my journey to better health and a smaller pants size in March of 2011. I joined MFP in June, one of the best decisions I ever made. When I first started losing weight I had very limited knowledge about how to do so properly. The longer I've been on MFP, the more friends I've made and the more time I've spent in…

Dating Websites....Your thoughts please.
So I'm a single mom (2 kids) and I think I'm ready to finally hit the dating scene outside my favorite bar :laugh: . Not looking for anything serious at this time but I want to get out and meet new people. Any thoughts and recommendations are appreciated on what websites you've used, heard about, will never use again,…

Lack of Food Knowledge -rant/story
I have learned so much about food and what's good for you, what seems good to you and really isn't, and then what's terrible for you. Like most people I've had to wade thru so much misinformation trying to find the truth. A lack of information seems to be a rampant problem with people I run into or even amongst my friends…

Dried Fruit
Okay so I just got a dehydrator last week and dried apples over the weekend. They are all gone already :cry: So in addition to drying more apples this weekend I thought maybe I would dry some other fruits. I'm planning on banana and oranges, maybe some strawberries. Has anybody ever had dried blueberries? Is that even…

Clothing Shopping
Most of us have run into issue going shopping for clothes. Mainly that we don't/didn't like to because of our size and lack of options, but lately I've encountered new problems I never considered. 1) I have trouble seeing my real reflection in the mirror, I still see myself as fat. I'm working on it but catching my head up…

Wait, were you talking to me?
So this last weekend I was at a friends house for dinner and due to the massive number of people we ate in shifts. Kids first, then the adults, it also meant some of us adults had to sit on the bench between the table and wall (it's a pretty tight fit). So while trying to figure out who was going to sit where somebody says…

What have you gained?
So I saw a topic about what have you lost (comparing lbs lost to say kids or bags of potatoes) and it got me thinking. Many of us have lost a lot and they are all celebrated victories, well deserved at that. But it got me thinking about what I have gained and that makes me a lot more giddy. I have gained: The ability to…

Interesting Side Effect
I'm on Day 7 of the 30DS and I've already noticed the toning in my arms, rear end, thighs and tummy. So this morning I went to pull on my skinny jeans (I know, I know...but I like them!) and it wasn't hard to pull them over my thighs, my butt, or even button them. Know where they were tight? My calves!!! :laugh: Seriously,…

Funny NSV
So I've been scouring the internet (mainly my favorite stores) for sales and clearance clothing. Mainly for clothes to fit me now, but keeping my eye out for cute stuff for when I reach my goal. So I found a nice pair of skinny jeans (yes, I recognize that not everybody like them but I do and that's what matters) so I…

NSV
So I see all these amazing posts about people reaching an NSV but never bothered put anything up myself. After struggling with the scale lately it's been really tough to be positive which made finding a NSV even harder but the light bulb finally went on for me last night... I bought a pair of girl boxer shorts (the pj…

Jillian Micheals Workout
I've been seeing Jillian Micheal's name pop up a lot for people using her workout routine. I am looking to shake up my workout and was hoping for some feedback on this Shred program from real people who've used it.
