I tend to stretch, walk a bit and then stretch more along the way. Definitely helps! Not I can go 5+ miles when I could hardly do 2 at first. You’ll get there!

Steve...I weigh and measure all of my food and try to be as accurate as possible. I know the calorie burn info isn’t right on either, but I’m pretty sure a chunky girl like me is burning loads while walking 7miles a day. I think I’m very dehydrated and started lemon and water today. Not sure lemon helps, but at least I’ll…

Yes I track my calories all day every day. I know I need to start strength training and it could be that I’m retaining water. I’m drinking more water than I used to, but not nearly enough. Thanks everyone!

Would love to join in as well! I’ve lost 40+pnds with more to go. My body is holding onto this weight and I don’t know if it’s a hormonal thing or what, but I’m frustrated. Support would be great!

I get this. What’s worse than being stared at or made fun of? Never being noticed at all. You are not alone!! I actually make a point of speaking to people who possibly are sometimes ignored due to looks etc. I’m making it my mission! Haha

I don’t Diet. I don’t deprive myself. I eat what I want...just less of it. If I want some sweets or even a burger, I have it and then adjust the rest of my eating for the day to make room for that higher calorie food. Basically, I eat healthier and a lot less, but always make room for a treat.

Welcome! Best advice I can think of..take it one day at a time!

Thought of two more petty reasons. 1. I once had a professor who would write a one word description next to each name on the seating chart (she was stupid enough to leave it on the podium ). Some said “glasses” or “blonde”. Mine and a few others said “large”. Ouch. 2. I once sang at a beauty pageant as part of the…

I have so many serious reasons, but enough petty reasons too. 1. I want to wear pretty clothing. No more print grandma looking clothes! 2. I want to kayak 3. I want my bust to once again signifantly stand out from the rest of me! Tired of looking like a snowman. Haha 4. I want to stop being confused with other chunky…

Great! So glad I’m not the only one. When I squeeze a treat in I automatically have to eat healthier the rest of the day anyway...because I have to conserve calories for my chocolate fix!

Congratulations! I’m on the flip side of you. I’m down about 40 and probably have another 60 to go. So encouraged by your progress. Sent you a friend request! To everyone else...would love for you to add me as well. I need all the help I can get! ;)

Good for you for getting back on track! I sent you a friend request. Always needing support!

So many cummalitve moments that spurred me on....but a few stand out in my mind. 1. I once wanted to donate blood to help a sick student at a school where my kids attended. While standing in line I began reading over the pamphlet when I read that I had to be under a certain weight to donate. I quietly eased myself out of…

I LOVE reading that other people are doing what I do! I still eat some of the same food...just LESS of it. For me, this lifestyle change is about moderation...instead of eating every meal like its my last...I know I’ll be eating again soon and will never starve. Lol. I’m down 38pnds. I eat approx. 1400 calories a day. I…

Wanted to jump in and say hello!! I'm a walker and calorie counter and eat what I want, but in moderation, kind of girl. I'm down 34pnds and have approx 70 to go. Would love the support! Ps....Still trying to figure out how to use these message boards. It seems to load the oldest comments (from years ago) first!
-
Stupid question...but how do I add friends?!
-
Please someone add me too! I'm down 34ish pnds, and have another 70ish to go! I'm a walker ..for anyone who needs motivation to do that. I walk 4-6miles maybe 5days a week. I also count calories, but still eat what I want...just in major moderation.
-
Is it to late to join? I love walking! Im not great at going alone, but do have a group of friends who walk with me most weekdays! My goal would be 10,000 steps 5 days a week, but ideally I'd like to shoot for 15,000. I have horrible arthritis in both feet, but am pushing through to get the weight off. 4/4: 9,453 4/5:…
