It will click one of these days. Try new experiences that u wouldn't have tried previously, for ex: bellydancing at home or at the gym, simulated sky diving, etc.

You look amazing. Congrats on your hard work. You're a role model to the students & coworkers.

Omg they are mean nasty rude. Avoid those haters. Find new friends.

Maca gives me nonstimulant energy

Yes I'm in agreement. When I started gaining weight a few years ago all the clothes that did not fit I would just wash them fold them up and keep them in boxes until I could fit into them again. Not only did I lose weight and fit into all of them but I lost more weight. I had to give away a lot of those clothes and buy…

I don't know if anyone mentioned this. It's probably TMI... but anyway... dealing with loose bras. I'm not buying any new ones yet til I lose more weight & the ones i now own are very loose on me. Well, now that I have lost enough weight, my bras are loose around the back. It's tricky using the 3rd row of eyes to hook them…

I agree. I didn't know that was one of the culprits making me feel generally sick for years. when I did an Elimination Diet and realized how many food sensitivities i had then I went back and would eat wheat every now and then. I ended up getting terrible pain for 5 days having to miss work not being able to walk upright.…

Hilarious! Sooo true. The night before i take Natural Calm magnesium. Boy does it help.

I am starting to notice more loose flabby skin but that is not going to stop me from meeting my goal. I'm only trying to lose one pound per week. I figured that once I meet my goal the skin should tighten up. I drink almost a gallon of water everyday. And I eat at least 50% of my foods raw like fruits and vegetables.

That new coworkers tell me that I'm going to gain wt because i eat "too much". I exlpain that I've lost wt by calorie counting, & use MFP. It works. Eating 5 meals a day within my calories is not eating too much & it's doctors order. I only consume about 300 cal or less per meal. That other heavy women at work ask me how…

YES. sometimes i wonder why i keep sabotoging my wtloss moment. It's losing the fat armor. I don't want it but it's scary to lose it. Breathe. Just bteathe, & let it go.

It might be a good idea for you to research the benefits of magnesium. Especially regarding taking magnesium half an hour or so before work outs. And at night before you go to bed to minimize the aches in your body especially in your legs. Check out Natural calm magnesium.

Yes so true. When really heavy men talk to me i ask them what are their health goals. Most of them just give up easily. I explain that i want to be with someone who has goals to become healthier. Some understand, some get an attitude.

I had to buy myself one of those seat belt cushions They are very helpful.

1. Weigh less than hubby. Now I do. Yay! 2. Keep losing one lb per wk. 3. Get back to working out 3+ days a wk. 4. Walk at a 5k event. Eventually run it. 5. Fit better into the tight new jeans/clothing i have in the closet. 6. Eventually lose the rest of the 38 lbs. Lost 21 this yr. & lost 45 althogether so far. Yay! 7.…

Research msm for joint support. Youtube gauge girl training, she talks about it. She a chemical engineer, food scientist, fitness coach.

when I was about 8 years old I was very overweight and had chest pains and would cry. When my mother took me to the doctor he said to my mother that we should go park and get me a bicycle or roller skates or play ball, etc. and he also said that my mother should not allow me to eat so much ice cream and bread and cake and…

what about just making healthy foods available all the time, instead of foods that could make her gain more weight. Maybe she can help you to prepare or cook healthy meals. there does not have to be a pep talk about it. and if you're going to go out for a walk ask her if she wants to join you. Baby steps. and my apologies…

Same here. I can't believe how much this app helps when used properly. I've lost 21 lbs this yr!! I broke through my one yr plateau! Woohoo! Yay!!

Brilliant tips!

Great! Don't give up!

I've been mostly vegan for 4 yrs. I've been able to reverse lots of chronic health issues. I read dr neal barnard's books & they changed my life. The food tastes cleaner, natural, esp if it's minimally processed & homemade. Have you heard of the Happycow app? Great restaurant finder. I need more veganish friends. I'm not…

Thank you for explaining that. I still have thick thighs so i don't have that cool issue yet.

I purchased one. I'm officially a little old lady. Lol

How meal prep has become second nature ... finally. I do it most nights or early in the morning.
