Self sabotage/Need motivation
Hey MFP peeps. I've been a member for several years and during my first year during my journey of quitting smoking (nearly 9 years now btw) I was super successful in my weight loss journey. I dropped 30 lbs with diet and excercise and was feeling ah-mazing! I maintained that weight for some time, but somehow over the years…

Feeling defeated
hey MFP friends, I have been using this site since 2008 when I took the leap to quit smoking and change my lifestyle by exercising and eating right. I managed to lose about 30lbs in my first year and felt AMAZING. I maintained that weight for quite a few years, but it seems that I've fallen back and have now slowly creeped…

Fell off the wagon HARD!!!
I need help getting back on the wagon!! Over the winter I seem to have fallen back into my old ways w/ late night cravings for junk food. It's definately comfort eating. I am a mother of two, have a fulltime day job and a part-time job evenings & weekends. Ever since I started the 2nd job to try to help pay off bills…

NEED NEW BREAKFAST IDEAS!!
I'm stuck on the same breakfast Mon-Fri and need some ideas please!! I start work at 7:30am and have 2 children to get ready and off to daycare/school. I usually bring a pack of instant oatmeal, a banana and a yogurt for breakfast as those are the most convenient things to bring. I sometimes switch it up to a high fibre…

INTERNAL FLUSH
Hey there...just wondering if anyone has tried this product "As Seen on TV"? It's an all natural Herbal Laxative for a 30-90 day cleansing cycle. I just bought a bottle of the stuff to see if it will help me get to my final goal (10 more pounds). Lately I've been feeling really bloated. Good or Bad...give me your feedback…

Eye Opener!!
On the weekend I was going through my closet looking for something and I happened to find my corset that I wore on my wedding day 4 years ago. On my wedding day, I actually had to by a spacer to attach to the clasps to get it done up. Curiosity got the better of me when I found it and I tried it on and was able to get it…

2 GREAT SUCCESSES!!!
On Saturday I celebrated 1 year smoke free and last night I was cleaning out my closet and tried on a pair of old dress pants that are size 7 and I fit into them!!!! Last year this time I was almost at a size 13, that is when I decided to join MFP. AMAZING!!!!!! Hard to believe how much you've lost until you really put it…

9 months and counting
So it's been 9 months (give or take) since I joined MFP, and I have lost complete motivation to log my food. I'm still eating pretty well, but it's much easier to cheat when you aren't writing everything down. And when you aren't writing everything down, it's much easier to skip that extra work out because you had that…

Tummy stretch marks from pregnancy...
During both of my pregnancies I got pretty nasty stretch marks on my stomach, Baby #1 all under my belly button and Baby #2 all above my belly button (I thank my children each day...lol j/k) The scars are pretty faded, but now that I'm getting my pre-baby body back with all the weight loss my stomach is starting to look…

Weigh In & Measurements
So I've just weighed in this morning and am happy to say I am down to 145 lbs. Also took measurements. CHEST (start): 40.5" (now): 37" WAIST (start): 36" (now): 32" HIPS (start): 43" (now): 36.5" Just thought I'd share that with everyone, a total of 14" lost so far!! Woohoo!!:bigsmile:

BACK TO MFP!!
My internet has been down for the past week, so I really haven't been able to log all my food this past week other than what I could pre-plan when I had time at work to sneak to mfp. I guess this was kinda like a test going back to reality without the help of MFP. I think I did pretty good, maintained my weight this…
-
Protein drinks...YUCK!!
So, I went out this weekend and bought a protein powder to drink after workouts, etc. I specifically told the guy that I was looking for something that I could mix with water only (something that would taste fruity, kind of like juice or something) rather than the typical chocolate or vanilla ones that you would use milk…
-
17 weeks & counting
So to date I have lost 23 lbs over a period of 25 weeks...to reach my goal I have 17 more pounds to go and only 17 weeks to get there!! It seems possible....but we all know that those last 10 lbs are the hardest to get rid of! If anyone has any quick/simple breakfast ideas would be helpful, I eat the same breakfast Mon-Fri…
-
Stuck!!!
So my CW is 149, SW was 170.....my GW is 130 and I would REALLY like to reach this by July 2009 in time for bathing suit season! I have not budged since Feb 5th and I know that the last few pounds are harder to get rid of than the first few. My main problem area is my midsection from having 2 kids, my abs feel rock hard…

BACK ON TRACK...
Hey all......I feel like I need to confess...haha....I had a horrible binge weekend, this is not like me but I think I have been so stressed out and frustrated with so many other things lately I just needed this "care free" weekend. I made homemade chocolate chip cookies and then my sister brought over a bag full of baked…

I feel great, my body is changing in appearance and strength and clothes are fitting me differently! Can't wait to lose the next 20 lbs!! Hoooooraaaay!!!!:bigsmile:

Jillian Michaels just kicked my *kitten*!!
Finally got the 30 Day Shred for Christmas, and OMG!!! :noway: My legs were sweating for crying out loud....I don't sweat that much in a class triple the length of that video and that was only on level 1 (day 1). I'm sure it'll seem easier in a week from now, but I can barely walk up the stairs right now...everything feels…

Why must we crave at that time of the month...???
Is it just me...or do you feel like a pig about a week before "Aunt Flow" shows up? All I want to do is stuff my face no matter how much water I drink!! :angry:
-
I've reached my mini goal this month.....
I set a goal that I would get under 160 by the end of this month and this morning I weighed in and have reached my mini goal!! I'm so excited to be in the 150's again, it's been about 2 years since I've been in this range.:bigsmile:

The Firm
Has anyone done this class before (Goodlife/Exclusively Women's gym members?) I'm thinking of trying it, but just wondered what others think of it first?
-
FITNESS TEST....
Joined a gym again on Wed, haven't been to the gym in umm.....3 years! I'm afraid of what my results are gonna be like for cardio - at least I've been working out a home I guess for the past 2 months, so I'm not a fish right out of water. Wish me luck!:tongue:
-
I hate ab workouts!!!
I don't know if it's just me, but everytime I do an ab workout I feel like I'm gonna hurl - especially when doing the ISO bike move fast for 30 sec straight! Maybe it's just cause I've had 2 kids and my abs are extremley weak - but my abdomins feel like they are being ripped apart!!
