Avidkeo - thank you for your reply. I didn't realize how much I needed to be reminded to be mindful until I read it. and I am sitting here with a grumbly tummy so it was perfect timing. =)

That is the BEST NSV ever! =) Happy for you!

Congratulations! And this is exactly what i needed to see and read today. You look amazing. :happy:

Good for you! You are taking the first steps to changing your life. I am 40 and need to loose at 60 lbs. Same thing. For my son. My legs hurt. I can't play with him the way I want to and I am tired of feeling this way. I would be happy to help support you on this journey. Feel free to add me to your friend list. Good Luck!…

Welcome and add me if you like. I am coming back into it after a long absence. It is hard, but the time is right. =) Good luck on your journey. Cori

You can do it Donna! I have recently just joined again. Silly excuses got in my way for the past year and all my hard work was lost. Time to get it back. New City, New Body? Time to change the habits. Find a new way to work. Pick a new drink for breakfast. Just change one thing at a time and new habits will be formed. You…

non-sacale victory. And it is not a stupid question. Took me forever to figure it out. =)

chest pain = check in with your dr. Always. Don't mess around with it. It could be that you are out of shape or something more serious. Your doctor will do a series of tests including a stress test to figure out what is going on. Please, Please see your doctor.

Way to go! That is so awesome! Keep it up and be proud of your accomplishments.

Everything that is being said is true - watch your sodium, drink tons of water, but I also have found that if I eat more asparagus during that week, I don't gain quite as much. It is a natural diuretic so it helps with some of the bloating. Also, add some nuts like almonds in for your snacks. It may not help with the…

YAY!!!! Congratulations!!

There are great selections here and I want to add a couple - System - Seal Beautiful People - Chris Brown Bohemian Like you - The Dandy Warhols Cry for You - September (extended remix) How do you like me Now - The Heavy I Remember - Deadmau5 Move for me - Kaskade Pump it up - Elvis Costello Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' -…

That is Awesome! Welcome to MFP. I finally convinced my husband to sign up and he has lost almost 20 lbs in a month. Yay! You will have wonderful success and here's to you and your wife. =)

the changes to your body actually happen during your rest periods. You should always take 1 to 2 days off each week. I try to work out hard for 3 days then take a break. Then go for 2 and take a break. If I feel my motivation is slipping, then I try to just go for a walk on my off days. Nothing hard, just to get the…

When I need a snack to carry me over, I try 1/2 of an apple and a small handful of almonds. It used to drive me nuts to see people say things like that because there is no way that would fill me, but honestly, if you eat slow and give your body a chance to digets it really does fill you up. Along those lines, the Special K…

a 1.4 change in the scale is always nice to see! Congrats and thanks for sharing this yummy meal. :smile:

Yay! thank you for sharing! Yesterday was day one for me on the 30DS and all I can say is ouch. That and it will most likely be a 60DS lol! Thanks for the motivation!

Thank you for inspiring me! You look BEAUTIFUL and I am very excited to see you reach your goal and get some full legnth pics. Congratulations and keep it up. You are amazing!

Yay! I can't wait to fit into size 9 jeans. You will be the first one I tell when I can. =) Great job!!

Congratulations! This is exactly what I needed to see to keep my motavation up! Thank you for sharing and Way To Go!!!

Welcome and you can do it! I started one month ago and I feel great. This is such great place to find the support you are looking for. I will send you a friend request and I won't wish you good luck, because you won't need it. You are gonna do great! :smile:

You are doing great, don't give up. There are a ton of reasons the scale is going up. I actually lost quite a bit in my first week, but I figured it out that it was water weight. Just drinking enough water actually helped me lose that. I have had days where my weight would flux up to 3 lbs in the same day! Weigh yourself…

Excellent! I don't have a pool readily available, but I will kep it in mind. thank you!

I hear you loud and clear and often times follow the same cycle. Earlier this year I took control and decided to quit smoking and start losing weight. It was very difficult with my family still eating crap and not wanting to change their habits so I started telling myself, "This is for me. This is about me, and this is my…
