Being able to move from the back of the shopping cart to the front of the shopping cart in the check out lane at Aldi without having to suck in my gut and barely squeeze through! This alone made the last 7 months of workouts worth the effort! :D

Wild rice and mushroom soup, fruit salad, and tomato, cucumber & onion salad.

I'm so happy for you that you are ready to make a change. We've all gone through that turning point, and it takes courage. My recommendation, although I am not a doctor or dietitian, is to drop your calorie levels gradually and add more movement into your day gradually, as well. I think you'll be more likely to stick with…

Got some new shorts that fit perfectly. Went from a 22W to a regular 16! The new shorts are so comfortable I'm basically living in them. :)

I love this. I also started with fairly generous calorie goals and increased activity (which was pretty easy since I was starting at zero). It sounds like you're kind of practicing mindful eating, which I think is a great way to build a healthy relationship with food. With regard to exercise, I've worked my way up to daily…

Let me start by saying I'm not a "clean" eater. I've been losing about 2 pounds per week by filling at least half of my plate with fruits and vegetables, and the rest grains (whole grains, when possible) and proteins. Typically my macro distribution ends up being approximately 50% carbs, 30% fat, and 20% protein. My…

You'll never believe what I did! I had both hands full, and I got up off the couch with NO HANDS. Not even a hand on the thigh for leverage. I simply stood up. :o

@gcreardon , thanks and congratulations to you on your liaison position! I'm giving myself a "grace period" for my whole birthday week and then recommitting to healthier eating on Monday! I've at least managed to keep up with some kind of workout schedule! I rediscovered Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home videos, so that change…

This is amazing news! I am working toward some of the same things!

Congratulations!That's awesome. Keep up the good work! Sounds like you are a bit like me. I don't really trust the number on the scale until I've seen it a few days in a row!
