More protein during the earlier hours of the day and throughout the day helps me a ton!

Yep low impact! Gosh I haven’t done one of hers in years but I still remember her saying “a 10 minute walk is a medicine!”

I hear you. I use my Apple Watch and before I had that I used a chest monitor. But I found once I got closer to goal, I was tooth and nail trying to work off everything that went in my mouth. I was working out for food, and I hated that. I try to now just use exercise for health and strength and not earning calories, so I…

Good luck! I started running when I was 25. I was a total newb, super out of shape, and it changed my life! Stick to it and go slow, you’ll get there!

Me too! My 2nd son was born dec 2. After the birth weight settled off, I’m 30 pounds heavier than I was when I got pregnant. I had lost 60 pounds at that point so I have gained half of it back. I find the hardest thing about trying to lose weight with an infant is life is hectic, so you just want comforting convenience…

Me too girl, me too. I gained about half of my weight back during pregnancy (and I’m not talking about the actual baby, like what I had left on me after the birth stuff settled out). But seasons of life are just that! It sounds like you had a lovely season, but thankfully you have a tool, knowledge, and support to get back…

Yes I hear you on the routine. I absolutely need it to function. I couldn’t be a realtor or something that doesn’t have a set schedule. To address your first question though: yes, I DO like my job! I truly enjoy what I do even though there are problems like any company or job. I have never dreaded going into work in the…

Yep I do! Every day. It is scary at first, but once you start to know what lifestyle things, like carby food or heavy exercise, along with a period, can increase your weight temporarily, it’s actually not bad. My period is somewhat irregular and because I weigh myself every day, I can usually tell when it’s going to start…

Feel free to add me! I wasn’t able to get myself to lose weight until I broke down and asked God to help me if it was in His will. With regular prayer and thankfulness for what he allowed me to achieve, I was finally successful!

Yes, after I lost 60 pounds, I definitely noticed a difference in how I was treated by others, especially those who I did not know well or at all. However, I was also more confident, friendlier, and happier myself. So I believe if you are comfortable in your own skin, people pick up on that and are more drawn to you.

My kids/family, to be happily active, to be the mom that runs in races, to look good!
-
I only work out at night, usually from 8-9PM. Been doing it for years now and was very successful.
-
I agree with the diet break. I have taken both short and long ones. In fact, I was on one from mar-June because I was first trimester tired, sick, and hungry and just way too busy to want to think about it. Now things are better and I’m back and only gained a few pounds (although I’m eating at maintenance now because I’m…

That’s going to be my new cop out for everything...”because soy”. Hahaha

I really like the weight watchers recipes. They are usually tasty and low calorie and mostly easy to make. That’s the best part. Other than that, why pay for something that is rooted in calories any way? All weightloss is calorie deficit, so you can do that for free with this app and a modest investment in a food scale.…

Anything fried does that for me. Or dairy. What ensues to my colon after eating these types of foods occurs, I’m usually down 2 pounds. Now that’s a detox...
-
That being healthy and losing weight are separate and mutually exclusive. Being one does not always mean the other. To lose weight, you need a calorie deficit-plain and simple. To be healthy, you need a sufficient macro and micro nutrient mix and should exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight. Also, that it’s okay…

I was also thinking this recipe might be nice as a sore throat relief tea on a cold day. I tend to get stomach bugs and not upper respiratory illnesses so I doubt I’d ever get to try it though. JUST TO BE CLEAR- the person who posted this recipe and the ridiculous information was a self-proclaimed detox woo guru Facebook…

I would never move away if I had that kind of perk

I posted this in another thread about binge eating just a few min ago. I am a mostly recovered binge eater. I also ate in secret and how, what, and when I binged was very repetitive. I felt like I couldn’t break the cycle and was absent minded or on auto pilot when I was buying the food or doing the actual binging. I…

If you feel like running is the thing you want to try, I would suggest an app that slowly coaches you up to longer distances and starts you out slow. I did this and it was great. It was challenging but still attainable and within 6 months or so I was running a 5K! A free one is “running for weight loss”. Don’t judge by its…

David’s bridal has some nice occasion dresses that come in plus size. I was surprised at their selection of items outside of wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses. They are also reasonably priced if you find a sale or coupon.
-
Honestly. I could do a lot better, that’s for sure. I don’t get the recommended amount. It’s simply a convenience thing for me, and I need to do better. I’m a sucker for convenience foods
-
Wow. Thanks for the reminder. Glad you are okay! We all should wear our helmets on our two wheeled vehicles. Also, cars need to watch out and reduce distracted driving! #itcanwait

Me too, I lost ~60 pounds and suddenly I went from being hot all the time to cold. I don’t mind it though, I’d rather be cold than hot any day
-
I don’t have it anymore, as this is the first summer without it, but what i realized I hated the MOST was thigh chub rub in the summer. SOOO painful!
-
Do you like fruit water? Like water that you let berries or melon or pineapple infuse? It’s a good way to flavor your waters naturally without any additives and you can customize the blend to your liking. I use the leftover fruits in smoothies.

Sucks to be him! Hope he learned his lesson. My ex constantly bantered me about my weight. I ended up leaving him in part because of that. He also ended up with a lady much bigger than me. I can only hope he learned to look past someone’s body and that he really loves her for who she is.

definitely not my driving motivators, but there are a couple of petty reasons that come to mind. First, I don’t want to be the biggest, or even on the bigger side, of any group of people I’m with. I want to be in the smaller half, if not the smaller 25%. Second, I don’t want my kids growing up with overweight parents. I…
