Took two hours, but I shoveled out the driveway and the sidewalk. So, no treadmill work for me!! Downside is, I can no longer hold a pen without my hands trembling. Last night was Taco Tuesday. Does anyone else celebrate Taco Tuesday religiously?

So man posts, it's hard to keep up! Found a scale and jumped on. *ouch* Current weight is 240. Which is still 40lbs down from my start weight, but also 40lbs up from my best weight. Right in the middle. Hit the treadmill on Saturday and did day 1 of C25K. I'm telling myself that if I shovel the driveway and sidewalk, I…

Thanks guys for the welcome!! Some stats: SW: 280 GW: 160 CW: 140-ish I had gotten down to 198lbs a few years back, but was then involved in a motor vehicle accident. I had stopped at a crosswalk for a pedestrian. The gentleman in the truck behind me was disinclined to do so. With the resulting injuries (that I felt were…

Good morning Ladies. Is it too late to jump in? I can start with February.

Or your best friend in the entire world. :'(

RIGHT?!?! I hadn't gone swimming in so long, hubby and I went recently and down I went, just like a rock!! I never needed the flotation belt in Aquasize; now it's a must!! I don't like it either. Fitting into smaller, prettier bathing suits, however. . . :D

20 minutes from Edmonton!! I'm from LA! (Leduc Alberta)

Headed out to my local second hand shop for some work jeans. They organize the pants by inches, ie. measuring the waist of every pair of pants that come in instead of looking for sizes. The plus sized section starts at 38". That's also where I start looking for my pants. Apparently I can start looking in the 36" section.…

Someone has a warm! Lol!

Luk at me! Im human! Hur de Dur!

Look at that bicep bump! Awesome!!

The 'significat few' being the conditioning and diet in general? And thanks to everyone for their answers!! I was always told the 30 to 45 minute have-to-eat-protein. I can get away with my usual toast as long as I meet my protein goals for the day is what I'm picking up from this. You're all awesome!

Tad confused. What is the difference between an 'elite' athlete running for 4 hours and being exhausted and my fat *kitten* running around the block for 20 minutes and being exhausted? Not trying to be snippy, honest question.

I feel this. :(

That you would get the whole "You know, you can stop now. Don't loose too much weight" much, much sooner than you think you will. I think they're so used to the fat me that they're not yet used to the not-as-fat-me, and can't imagine getting to the skinny-me. But it's okay, 'cause I'm right there with them. :D

CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!! *splort*

I've gone the "let's do it like bunnies" rout. My husband, who is not trying to lose weight, has gone the other way. I thought after an 80lb drop he'd be more than happy to get it on. I was mistaken. Super-frustrating. :'(

The biggest piece of advice I can give that isn't covered above: Make 1/2 a pot of coffee. Cool. Pour into ice-cube tray. Freeze. Use coffee-cubes instead of ice-cubes in your iced coffee, whichever recipe you decide to try. Mmmm. . . Non-diluted iced coffee.

Link pretty please?

I can no longer 'shop my closet'. I'm smaller than I was in high school! Thank God for thrift stores!

Yeah, I've been slacking a bit . . . I'm a bit ashamed that I haven't been doing so well.

'Zacly!

I would push her hands away from me and say quite loudly: 'exCUSE ME?' I would not tolerate anyone patting my *kitten*, especially at work. The waist patting I would still push her hands away and ask her not to do that again. Rude people are rude.

Crap. . . Sorry guys I've been out of the loop for a little while. I'll post my miles tomorrow!

I can haz exorcism?

Salad plates!!! Seriously, I don't use dinner plates anymore just for this reason!

YAAAAYYYY ESTHER! THAT'S AWESOME!!

Holy crap yes, and my husband thinks I'm crazy. I was 280 lbs, I'm now 200. And I feel. Exactly. The. Same.

Why U no share?
