I wouldn't call it a success story, it's just part one of my journey...
I really need a pick me up and I am hoping this will help me focus better on my goals and not on the short term stalls I've been experiencing recently. I'm Audrey, I'm 33 years old and I started working on weight loss on 06/10/2014. I was trying to wait till my anniversary to do a post (and I may still do one then if I…

Weight Loss and Scar Tissue
Backstory (shortened hopefully). About 10 years ago (and 100 pounds ago) I had some major health issues which resulted in an extensive surgery into my intestines (I was cut wide open) and removal of some bits of my intestines. I have a scar that runs up and down my midsection that is roughly 12-16 inches long and about an…

Do you have any great hidden veggie recipes?
A bit of background... In my family there were two veggies, and that was it. One was corn (smothered in butter) and the other were peas (covered in cheese) (which thankfully I was not a fan of the peas/cheese). Not the healthiest of choices. I'm an adult now, with kids of my own. My husband loves veggies and me and my…

For those with a lot to lose...
When did you SEE a difference in the mirror? How many pounds had you lost? For me, I see it on the scale, I feel it in my energy level, but I can't see it in the mirror and it's starting to creep into my head that I never will...

Question...
I'm fairly new to MFP (okay, not really new to it, but within my first couple of months of actually tracking and using it steadily). I just started going to the gym for the first time in my life basically (I went about 3 times in the year I had a YMCA membership 10 years ago-this past month has been the most consistent…

Help please?
I've recently joined and have been going to my work's gym for most of my exercise. Daycare changes for this week (and thankfully for this week alone) have left me unable to go to the gym this week. So as an alternative I found some fitness videos on Amazon Prime to do in my living room. The only problem is I have NO clue…
