Returning...
Hello all. I’m not new to MFP but I’ve been MIA for a few years. Decided to try other things and decided that I’m going to come back to MFP. I was doing weight watchers for awhile but finances have made me cancel my membership. So here I am back to MFP. I’m looking forward to meeting my goals once and for all. I was…

Teenager having issues
I'm not sure where to post this, so if it's in the wrong forum please feel free to move it. Anyway...I've known my daughter was overweight for quite some time now. She's 15 and she's around 180/190. Her height is about 5 foot 5 I want to say. Anyway, she is in dance (hip hop) for the first time and I noticed she was…

Training for a triathlon...
I know I posted on my MFP status when I first registered, so I thought I would make it public here hehe It's not a full triathlon. It's a sprint triathlon. But it's still a triathlon!!!! And that's more than I did last year! It's going well. Some days I don't really feel like I've improved but according to the coaches I'm…

Got me a new car...
Well, "new to me" car. It's used but my sister's husband buys written off cars and fixes them up and resells them. It's an '05 Toyota Matrix. I've been driving since 1999 and I've only owned FORDS so this will be different...it will be nice to not have a car that needs 1,000,000,000,0000 dollars in repairs every three…

Any budgie owners out there??
So how long did it take you to train your budgie to go onto your finger? It's been a week now and our budgie still won't step on our finger...we can get our finger close enough to touch but as soon as we put our finger to his breast area, where they say we should be putting it to encourage his feet to come on our finger,…

Breakfast cookies - yummm
This recipe is from a friend who made some and let me try them...I had 2 for breakfast the other morning. And they kept me satisfied until lunch!!! She made hers gluten free, and I wasn't able to taste the difference. Also, she didn't add the orange zest, and they tasted just fine! Steel Cut Porridge Oats Breakfast Cookies…

Help or hindrance?
So the Hubs and I are in Vegas right now and found a store that has really great prices...as far as the prices that we are use to goes hehe Anyway, the XXL fit me, NOW but once I get back home after Vegas, and am back into the work/school routine, I plan on going full force again with my "diet" and exercise routine. So the…

Vegas in less than a week!
I'm super excited. I didn't lose as much weight as I originally planned but hey, I'm still 35 pounds lighter than when I went last summer! So that part is for sure exciting. Now...a question... My husband wants to see the Grand Canyon. It's going to be 6 hours to drive there and 6 hours back...12 hours in a car to see "a…

How do you log your food?
I was logging my meals the other day and I'm not sure why but I am a bit picky as to how I log it. For example, for supper, I will usually put the main part first, like the chicken or steak or whatever. Then the side dish and/or vegetables. If I log a salad I will always put the lettuce first, then any other veggies I add,…

I've decided to have some courage...
And I'll post a picture. I'm not gonna give a long blurb about my journey...I'll save that for my goal weight picture posting. The picture I'm going to post is me after 33 pounds. Now, I am facing forward so you can't see that I still have ALOT of weight to lose but even the 33 pounds and all the strength training I'm…

Got complimented at work
The man that complimented NEVER has anything nice to say to ANYONE. He's very gruff with people...very...I don't know the word but he distances himself. Anyway yesterday morning he asked me to sit beside him...WHOA...what?? lol So then he goes "Shawna, this isn't me trying to come on to you but you're looking alot better…

Posting pictures...
Do you sit there and battle with yourself about whether to post pics or is it something you just do because you're proud of your accomplishment? Lastnight at weigh in I reached 31.4 pounds down since February 9th and while I WANT to post pics I still don't actually notice a difference. So I'm leary about posting my…

Ah man...
I forgot about this group <hanging head low> When I go to weigh in on Monday I'll get my weights for all these past dates and update it.

Ladies...clothing question
Sports bra vs. workout top? Any difderence? Or combine the two? My girls flop everywhere and I'm finding I'm more self conscience about that than looking stupid during a fitness class. I was thinking of actually buying myself a sports bra but then I saw someone in a workout shirt that is just as tight as a sports bra and…

Dedication or crazy?
Coldplay was here in Edmonton lastnight and I got offered free tickets but I said no because I didn't want to miss my bootcamp class lol. I'm hearing it was a great concert. Oh well...I'll just play them on my iPod lol

Sometimes it's not obvious
So I still can't really see a difference in the way I look but my family is starting to notice. I go to TOPS (stands for Take Off Pounds Sensibly) and we weigh in weekly. Well lastnight I was down 2.2 pounds and was pretty happy wih that because Easter weekend was a tough one. So then I asked the weight recorder what I…

Hubby took me clothes shopping today - NSV

Some people have no regards...
At my YMCA there are three change rooms: ladies, men's, and family. Almost every single time I go there are ladies with their "old enough to know better" sons in the change room and it's so aggravating. I HATE being in my birthday suit when a boy who looks 8 or 9 is there gawking at me. Last night some mom had her son…

Was approached at the gym - NSV
So I've been seeing a personal trainer for about 3 weeks now. Plus I do my own stuff in between. Anyway I go around the same time every day with my trainer so I've been recognizing some of the gym attendees. Anyway I was changing and this lady approached me and said "I've seen you coming here for a few weeks and I just…

Major to me NSV...
So I am a member at our local YMCA. I don't know if they're all set up the same so I'll describe ours...you walk upstairs to get to the workout centre. One one end there are the machines and the weight machines. Then further down there is the side with the free weights. I'll call this the "forbidden zone" I am always so…

My motivation picture
A small blurb first... A year or so ago a friend of mine got married and the bridesmaids got to choose what dress they wanted to wear...so I found a dress but knew my over weight body wouldn't look good in it...so I vowed that one day I WILL fit into it and I WILL get it made for me...My husband's accounting firm has…

To all my friends
I don't know if I've posted this poem here before or not so I'll share it now. I think about when I first came to MFP to simply keep a food diary. Then I started venturing into the forums. I was just a lurker, scared to join in because some threads had pages upon pages of replies and I figured my post would just get lost…

Humiliation = new rock bottom :-(
I am at the West Edmonton Mall indoor amusement park with my two girls and three of their friends. I was asked to get off two of the rides (almost 3 but I sucked my damn gut in...no way was I gonna let it happen three times!!) because the restraints didn't fit around my body :-( I've lost 12 pounds since recommencing my…

What have you learned from watching tv/movies?
I'm asking because the other night I was awakened by a strange and loud noise outside. The first thing I did was look at the clock on my night table thinking "if it's relevant to any crime investigation the time might be important" (good ole CSI). So I thought it'd be fun to share what we have learned thanks to tv or…
