I also lost 40 pounds in 2013 and gained about 5 pounds back until 2020 and then gained another 10. 2020 was a depressing year. I am going to try to back on track this year & lose my extra 15 pound. You have done it before & can do it again!

I can relate, I'm 54 and lost 40 pounds in 2013 and started running in 2014. Early in 2019 my knees started hurting a lot more until I was in tears by the time I ran 2 miles, I finally went to the Doctor and was told I have severe osteoporosis in my right knee. I've been sedentary since July and have gained 10 pounds. I…

I started at a size 16 & now I'm a 8-10, after the first year I donated the size 16's after the second year I donated the size 14's I have the size 12's in storage boxes in a spare closed just in case.

I started running 3 years ago at the age of 49 my first 5K was 38 minutes. My best is 33 minutes. I know I will never be a fast runner & am ok with that. I used the C25K app when I started. Instead of speed I'm more interested in distance. My best 10K time is 1:19.

I've tried the lemon, birthday cake, salted caramel & vanilla bean. None of them taste like real ice-cream. I'll just stick to smaller portions of real ice-cream.

I'm the opposite I can run 3.1 no problem outside but I can barely do 2 miles on a treadmill.

I did it in 2014 when I started it I was walking several days a week but that was my only exercise. I did my first 10K this summer although I didn't use the C210K app I just started increasing my weekend run by .5 miles every week. The c25k program works great although at the end of the program I still wasn't doing 5K…

I've tried the birthday cake and lemon they are ok but they are not like real ice cream. The lemon left an aftertaste and they are no where as good as Ben & Jerry's or any other full fat ice cream but for the calories they are not that bad. I agree Yasso Greek Sea Salt Caramel bars are better.

I'm from Georgia and I try to do a short run once a week after work around 8 pm but it's still in the upper 80's and a longer run Saturday mornings it's only in the mid 70's around 7 am. I don't like running on a treadmill so during the summer I limit my runs to only twice a week because of the heat and humidity.

I usually run 2 miles on Wednesday and between 4-6 on Saturdays. I do strength training on Tuesdays and yoga on Thursdays. I sometimes try to fit another run in each week but haven't lately it has been to hot in the evenings at 8 pm it's still in the 80's and I don't like the treadmill.

Halo top does not taste like ice cream. I've tried a couple of flavors after my sister recommended it to me I could not finish either pint they were so bad. I'll have to give the Yasso bars a try.

I was on Prednisolone when I was first diagnosed with ulcerative colitis years ago. I gained 40 pounds while on it but I had lost 20 pounds before we could get my ulcerative colitis under control. I was starving all the time I was taking 60 mg a day for about the first 3 months and it took 2 years to wean me off. I've…

My sister's baptist church offers yoga classes and I have a Presbyterian minister that attends the yoga class I do so its ok with most Christians

I weigh on Friday mornings because I eat out on Friday night and have a cheat day on either Saturday or Sunday but a friend of mine weighs on Mondays she says that keeps her from blowing it over the weekend,

I lost 6 the first month put at 9 months I had lost my goal of 40 pounds

My total cholesterol is 235 and my ldl is only slightly over 130. My dad can't take statins but my mom does. My dad has muscle damage from taking the statin drugs his cholesterol runs around 400 Both my parents eat a healthy diet and exercise they are both in their 70's and walk at least 10,000 steps a day. I told my…

I was on it a long time ago 40mg a day I gained 40 pounds I stopped gaining weight as they started to taper me off but I didn't start losing until after I stopped taking it but I think with calorie control you could probably lose on a low dosage. Good Luck.

I went from a size 16 to 8-10 I donated all my size 16s after about 6 months of maintenance & all my 14s the next year I'm keeping my 12s.

My goal was 40 pounds it took me 8 & a half months & I've kept it off for almost two years now

I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 23 years ago luckily I have been in remission several years so I eat anything I want but when I do have flare ups I stay away from raw fruits & vegetables and anything high in fiber. I don't have a problem with dairy or any types of meat when I have a flare up

Today I had half a cup of low fat cottage cheese & half a cup of blackberries total 123 calories

I take half a multi vitamin & I take vitamin D because mine is low per blood work

I have tomatoes, squash, zucchini, okra, cucumbers, & peppers I also have blueberries & blackberries

I have ulcerative colitis the only foods I need to avoid are high fiber foods raw fruits & vegetables when I have a flare up

I weigh every Friday morning before breakfast after the toilet sometimes with clothes & sometimes without

I was diagnosed with UC 23 years ago when I was 26. I have been able to control it with my diet & I also take medication. I've only had one flare up in the past 15 years.

1kg chicken breast== $15 500g frozen veggies== $6 2L carton milk== $4 a whole roast chicken== $13 1kg bananas==$4 wow I pay 1.99 a lb. for boneless chicken breast, a 16 oz bag of frozen veggies is usually .99 a gallon of milk is usually 3.38 but was on sale for 2.50 last week bananas are .52 a lb.

If you are paying 170-180 a month they are paying a good portion of your insurance. I am self employed and pay 356 a month for my insurance & it is not even good insurance. I signed my son up for insurance on the exchange & before his tax credits it would have been over 200 a month for the cheapest bronze policy, he is a…

I agree that it's mostly genetic after loosing 40 pounds and now running 6-7 miles a week my cholesterol went from 238 to 251 but my LDL decreased by 1 and my HDL increased by 11. I have an aunt by marriage who weights around 250 does not exercise or eat right her total cholesterol is under 130. Both my parents have high…

My goal was 40 pounds & I did it in 8 and a half months I probably could have done it in 8 months but hit Christmas at 7 and a half months so it took me a couple of extra weeks
