I got out of bed this morning....seriously, it's the small things right?

I only allow myself to watch my favorite television shows if I am doing cardio. Just that little change kick started my weight loss. And I also concentrate on calories in/calories out. I just started adding back weights too after a two year break.

already there

40 and in better shape than i was at 30...but still a long way to go...and it ain't easy

I wear a fitness monitor. Every time it vibrates I have five minutes to move or I get an inactivity stamp. I have feeling like I have failed so I get up and walk around...pick up copies, check the mailbox, or simply go to the bathroom. I also walk for fifteen minutes twice a day during my breaks. If I am early to work I…

hell yeah! I like to make peanut butter and jelly pancake 'sandwiches' mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm

yep and also broke someone's nose using my head. that was fun. I got hit too but oddly no bruising and he busted all his knuckles punching me. I have a hard head. Yes I said "he". We were in high school and I was protecting a younger girl I was charged with protecting and he was picking/pushing her around. Only fight I…

stop eating for the day. There, was that hard to do what the OP asked?

been there done that

unfortunately from what I have read, heard, and experienced abs and stomach flattening happens more in the kitchen than in the gym. That being said, check out pinterest for some great muffin top, oblique, and ab challege exercises. also planks....I love me some planks.

My son had it when he was 8 years old. Small case thankfully but painful none the less. I hope you heal quickly.

can't really add much to the above except I have found goat's cheese to be wonderful on salads. Dried pomegranates too. And yay for more salad ideas!

Open diary...open book...LOL please leave comment in the FR so I know where you found me. No friend collectors please...honest every day loggers who will support me as much as I support them. thanks.

Every time I would miss my coffee I would end up with a withdrawal that led to a day long migraine. It was the worst. My solution was to completely stop drinking it. I have not had but one small pumpkin cappuccino (on the last day of 2016) since October 2016. I took midol one day in January for cramps thinking 60 mg of…

Please Please Please, I need more committed commenters and support too. Add me. :-) I am on day 275 today. I made it to nearly 700 straight days a couple of years ago but then lost myself for a bit but I finally got myself back on track and more than half of my pals had left by the time I came back.

Get a Smart TV. I got one for the basement and I can watch Youtube, Netflix for when I do my cardio, and lots of other Hubs. Good luck!

sweet! Thanks!

I actually started cutting breads and most gluten out of my diet Wednesday and today I felt so tired. I made myself go down and do my workout though and once I started moving, I felt more energetic.

eases my fears of having extra skin left over when i reach goal...slow and steady is the way to go I guess. Congrats on your success! Please share some of your fitness tips and diet tips.

you're a stand up guy

well, if they knew your profile name....LOL

it definitely gets better

my mind went straight to the same thing! I thought OK I have to check this one out just for kicks. LOL

toss the body scale; buy a food scale; up your water intake and take a fiber supplement; log EVERYTHING (even if it's one M&M); and whatever you do DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! Good luck to you!

beautiful post

I totally do that all the time

concentrating on not tossing my cookies; I ate dinner too fast. :-(

Well, thanks everyone. Based on the gathered data, I'll give it a go. Try it for a month and track how I feel. I have spent the last four months slowly eliminating foods I find aggravate my IBS-C and I am looking for relief anywhere I can. :s

yep that would do it. LOL

bacon :p
