Almost 20lbs w/pics
Without going into a huge life story that would take forever to read through, I'm just going to give the jist of things. =P Once upon a time, I was nice and average with my weight fluctuating around 160 lbs. After 9 years and 3 kids later, I ballooned to well over 200. I've attempted many times to "lose weight" but never…

So this is what it's like to feel good.
Hey all, so my loss so far has not been super significant. I'm still trying to break through that 10 lb barrier BUT.... For the first time this weekend, I really SAW change in my body. I've always been very aware of my body and how my clothes fit on me. If I was going out somewhere, chances are I've changed my clothes at…

Anyone Doing Turbo Fire?
Hi! I had gotten Turbo Fire almost 2 years ago and did it strong for about 6 weeks. Then I lost my work out buddy and kind of just dwindled out myself. Last Tuesday, I decided to get my butt in gear and am starting my path to weight-loss again doing the Turbo Fire. It's hard to determine true calories lost since I don't…

Does anyone else get annoyed?...
...For those that are just starting out on the road to weight loss, I just started the path again about a week ago and when telling friends and co-workers that I'm starting to work out and such, they will make a comment like, "ya you look like you've been losing weight" trying to be nice, but I find myself annoyed at these…

Is it cheating?
So I'm not the biggest fan of plain 'ol water. I have a hard time drinking this "flavorless" liquid when it does taste funny to me. It brought me to the horrid realization that my brain has become so conditioned to drinking sweet things that it sends the taste signals of water as something icky. If I do drink water, the…

I Fell Off The Map...
I became an MFP usuer around the middle of March. I used it religiously...for about 2 or 3 weeks. I got a job at a gas station and used it as my excuse to not keep track of what I eat. I eventually started eating at work, and of course, the worst possible things. Taquitos from the roller grill, slurpy type drinks, donuts,…

Anyone else enjoying this snack?
Going grocery shopping the other day, I came across the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Ritz crackers. Not even looking at the NF, I just said hey, I'll give it a shot. When I tried it for the first time after dinner the other night, I was surprised at how good they ended up tasting. I then got really scared. Usually stuff you…

6 Degrees...
Not sure if there is a thread out there like this, but it kind of goes with drop a word, keep a word except it's naming a movie and an actor/actress then saying another movie that has previous said actor/actress but naming another. Kind of like the 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon game, but it doesn't have to stop with him. = P…

It's decided...
I've have finally picked a date to quit smoking, July 15th. Just need to do it cold turkey and get it over with. I've been smoking for a good 10 yrs (since I was 16) and not only for the sake of my health and my kids, I decided it would greatly help me complete the lifestyle change I need to make a better me. I know it…

Working = Exercising?
I work in a gas station and there's a good part of my day that consists of stocking the cooler/cigarettes which involves a lot of sqatting and arm movements, and walking around the store doing various things. I know that some consider being on your feet as a form of very mild exercise. Would it be worth trying to put that…

The Evil Snack...
Needed an outlet to deter my urge. Hope I don't make the rest of you hungry! I hear you in there, From the bottom of my purse. The temptation is almost too much to bare, Snacking late, my worst curse. I would love to consume you whole, Could probably do it in 2 minutes flat. I don't need a bowl. Just pull the wrapper back.…

Fear Of Losing...(more for ladies)
Ok, so this is more of a question for the ladies. I fear losing too much breast size! LOL! I know I might lose some of it with the weight loss, but I don't want to go way down to where they are like sand filled socks. They already kind of sag from having 3 kids. Has anyone had any similar fears or actual loss of boobage?…

First Workout...
...in a really long time. It kicked my butt!! I hopped on the treadmill for what I thought was going to be 30 min, but after 15 it was really hard for me to continue. It definitely made me realize that I need to start a little less head strong. I can get to 30 min. if I let my body remember what it is to even work out in…

Another New Comer
Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce myself. I'll stick with my name as Asyluma for now. But I'm a mother of 2 boys and 1 girl, ages 5 yrs, 2yrs, and 18 mo. My last 2 are only 14 months apart so I didn't give myself adequate time to lose the weight gain from #2. I was always sort of husky my entire life but really…
