I have a few. 1. I’ve logged for 627 Days now. 2. I’ve been using a free app to help me drink more water and am averaging about eighty ounces of water a day. My goal is 87! I used to drink, maybe, twelve ounces a day. 3. I’ve rewarded myself for 44 pounds lost by getting a gym membership and hiring a personal trainer. 4. I…

Check out YouTube. There's tons of Tai Chi videos. Also, you might like Qigong. Search on YouTube and look for the lady named Mimi. I like the Five Elements video quite a bit

Thank you all for your advice. Right now walking hurts so I may put that on the back burner for now. I might try some gentle yoga or Qigong if my back behaves. It's getting better though so I think I might manage that at least. In response to Carol's question, my diet isn't the greatest so I'm sure I can improve to try to…

I had the willpower to walk away from free ice cream at work today AND I'm under my calories for the day!

Okay, the bottom photo was taken in September 2015. The top photo was taken a couple days ago. I've gone from an 18 US to a 12, from CL tops to medium and 211 to 168 so far. :)

Amazing job! You look so pretty.

Several things have surprised me about weight loss: 1. Having to constantly hitch up pants that have gotten too loose and the drawers inside of them over and over gets old really fast. 2. That I hate being in between sizes. Argh! The waist fits but the thighs don't. 3. That it feels darn good when people start commenting…

I know, right? One day I will have wonderful muscles like she does! Girl! You are AMAZING!

I am enjoying the premium features. I like being able to see the breakdown in the fat, carbs and protein I consume every day.

Your feet might actually shrink. I had no idea that this was a thing until I got on here and read it. Even after reading it I kind of pooh poohed the idea because I didn't think my feet had any fat to lose. After a pair of sandals fell off as I was walking around one morning while getting ready for work I became a…

I've had to retire all but two pair of dress slacks that I wear for work. I don't quite fit into the next size down because I've lost weight everywhere but my thighs. I've had to resort to wearing skirts and dresses. The positive nsv that I'm taking away from this is that I am shrinking slowly but steadily.

One of my female coworkers greeted me this morning by calling me "the incredible melting woman." I LOVE it!

Okay, one of my coworkers brought this junk in to work one day and encouraged people to try it. It looked awful to me so I declined then watched everyone who tried it turn green and all but scrape their tongues clean after spitting it out! They all said it was nasty. The funny thing is the coworker that brought it in had…

Start with small, measurable goals. Try to make changes that are sustainable over the long haul. Find some friends that are supportive and enlist their help as cheerleaders as you meet your goals. MFP is great for this.

Maybe you could find a friend that wants to try a fun, new class with you? Yoga or Zumba or water aerobics...?

Well, actually I'm a slow roll to the new position while hoping not to get clawed by a cat that's been thrown off balance by my shifting positions. I totally get having my legs locked in place by the cats though.…

I was told by a coworker today that my pants look really loose on me. :)

That when someone you are talking to says they are getting ready to go on "a really restrictive diet next week" I have to bite my tongue to keep from asking why and elaborating on what is working for me. I know they won't be very interested or appreciative of that kind of advice.

I weighed in today at 195.6. It's up a bit from last week but I think it's water weight so it should go away by next Friday.

You are amazing!

Wow! You are looking great!

Well done! You are on your way to your goal for sure!

Spectacular job! You both look great!

Where do I post my weight?

Welder's mask? Jk

In my opinion it's the way to go. I got into it because the one flat spot on the property that my garden destroying dog can't get to also happens to have all of our utilities running beneath the ground. I'd love to talk to other gardeners throughout the summer and see how things are going. I don't know how to add people…
