♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥ ♪♪♪ ø¤º°`°º¤ø ONEDERLAND! `°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°` ♪♪♪ ♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥

...where birds are singing and bees are buzzing and rainbows streak the sky....
...where (sugar-free) lollipops and lemon drops dot the trees....
...where parades of people pass waving streamers shouting "You're the best!"...
...where magic mirrors reflect beautiful smiling images of yourself...
...where it's truly hard to convey to those who don't understand
the glorious impossible once-unimaginable expansively grand
feeling of dancing leaping trumpeting and doing a hand-stand
because you finally at long last with hard work long-planned
have entered the gold and diamond-sparkled gates of ONEDERLAND!

This LAND is your LAND, this LAND is my LAND, this LAND is ONEDERLAND!

You inspired me! Its so very hard to lose weight, and I tend to eat when Im bored. I'm 5'9 too and ever since I've turned 40 its been so hard to eat less and lose weight. How long have you been doing this? What motivated you?

I packed on weight with my last pregancy at 28. Struggled through my 30's. Made a decision to lose weight at 39. I weighed 297 on my 39th birthday. 168 on my 40th. The weight crept back up starting when I was about 48. Realizing I was only 30 pounds under my heaviest weight shocked me.

What works for me, both times, is massive amounts of cardio, light weight lifting and counting calories. The first time, I walked. Started at 2 miles, worked up to 5. Now, at 55, walking that far isn't really an option. I discovered the exercise bike I've had in my garage for 10 years. I work out on it. I worked up to 55 minutes a day, but I stalled at 206 a few weeks back. My son, the CPA/boot camp instructor said to cut back on cardio, so I did. I'm working out 32 to 48 minutes, just sort've depending on how I feel. I stay in the 13.6 to 14.5 mph zone with short bursts of up to 18 to 20 mph.

Thanks so much! You will get here before you know it!

Thanks so much to everyone! I really love this community. I'm not going to say I wouldn't have done this without MFP, but I will say you all have made the journey so much more fun. To those welcoming me to this side, thanks for your kind words. To those who are on their way, you can and will do it.

I'm a child of the 1970's. To use one of my favorite phrases, it's all about keepin' on keepin' on.
