yum! Horseradish cheddar?

kava relaxes city and colour lulls me peaceful sleep is near...

my senses awake haiku's are my favorite my night is complete

A storm is coming, the air is thick with questions... nutrition labels.

Jimmy Buffett knows best, Cheeseburger in paradise- French fried potatoes.

Sleep!

Its hard to say, sometimes I try to imagine how humans developed over the last 2 million years and try to make some kind of logic from that and the last couple hundred years. With all the articles, studies, and science out there, its just so complicating for our very diverse being. Our bodies are strange!

Your photography skills. I love your profile pic!

What was your surgery??

My sis has this problem a lot after her second kid, she sees a chiropractor and he has recommended YOGA and SWIMMING. Do you live near a pool?

Super yum! Juanita's Tortilla Chips??

This! My man wears a tanktop to work, those white jockey ones, and its pretty sexy, not gonna lie...

never underestimate old people, they are full of crazy awesome stories!

Holy cow! MRSA is terrible! I am glad you found other options, I have tried the elliptical and really like it, but I don't have access to one constantly. My sister has one and claims that it changed her life, she uses it almost daily! I have always wanted to get into swimming, but for now I will just keep up with my daily…

I agree, I really had to cut down on my eating after the surgery, something that I have almost always tried to avoid. The first few times I lost weight, and somewhat succeeded (for a short time) was when I ate almost whatever I wanted as long as I had a massive amount of cardio/strength training planned every week. This…

Categorizing it like that is helpful, thanks for your post :)

I would also like to wear my bathing suit to the river and swim all day while looking good :)

I don't, but if I was lifting or doing more strenuous activites other than walking I would probably have to. A few years ago I was training for a half marathon (before this, I had never ran any distance after high school, 10 years prior) and found that if I ate back my cals, I could perform better for longer. Its a trade…

This is very motivating ladies, I hope to post to this thread in the next month or two with a progress on my way to my goal weight :)

eggs and potatoes with a side of salsa, and a citrus fruit! Its good to start out my day with a good amount of potassium... On days when I don't want to think much I'll have a bowl of cereal, (vanilla almond crunch) with whole milk, and a citrus fruit I love the avacado on toast idea, especially that Daves Killer Bread, so…

I agree, its a lot of changes to make at once! But I've heard of it happening. Just dont get discouraged if you have a bad day or week!! Its a journey that will last for years, a few hiccups here and there are bound to happen. Just keep with it and stay connected with us here, great motivation! :) :)

I always thought that sugars from fruit were somehow "less bad" for you than refined sugar? I eat SO much fruit its redic... but I've still been losing, (only a month in though...) Anyway, I guess its just your calories in/out?

keep it up! Everyone is going to have "those" days, but the ones who succeed pick it up the next day and keep going with their heads held high!! My sister is my best motivator, she has lost 60 pounds in the last year, and she has had several stop-n-go times where she would gain then lose, then gain, then lose. But she…

So I can fit back into my turnouts and be a bad *kitten*!

What an amazing, motivational story! Thanks for posting this. Way to go, and keep up the good work!! :)

Villian!

I have been thinking about this too, I am currently trying to stay between 1100-1500 per day (pref closer to 1200) however I am also very sedentary right now as I recover from shoulder surgery, so my only fitness atm includes walking and stretching. I have also began to fast one day a week, and I'm on week three now- so…

She really should have showered...
