I tend to lift my legs higher and take smaller steps in the snow, and I just wear waterproof snow boots with warm socks. Your thighs will get a better workout! I also find that I need to keep my throat and hands warm in cooler weather or I'll get sick. Best wishes!

Wow! Fifty-two pounds in three months! You've done great!

Lol! My husband's a big time rider; he does centuries and death rides, and goes out when there's snow and ice everywhere and his road bike is icy and frozen. He's doing some festive 500 km ride on STRAVA between Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. But enough about him! MY goals, since I'm a newbie, is to ride my MTB 2 days a…

Maybe it's the doctor who recommended it, and maybe it's a short term goal to detox her or something? Who are we to impose or diet beliefs on someone else? This is a site to support everyone in their health and fitness goals. To the OP (Original Poster) let your mom know to add me; I'll help support her in her health goal.

Hi JustJazmyn, I'd recommend that you make intimacy not a part of dating. In other words, if there's no wedding, there's no sex. Nowadays that's a pretty radical way of thinking, but I think you should remember that you're worthwhile and not let anyone have what is precious without that commitment. (Start the hate mail…

Congratulations on both! Merry Christmas!

I'm doing three days on, one day 'off' and other cardio or strength on the off day, because my knees hurt from the lunges and squats. And I take a lot of glucosamine too, so I think it's just that I'm old and fat, lol! I'll let you know how I've done in late January.

Salkeela, As far as kefir grains go, they really need animal milk to work well.; If you can get hold of raw, grass fed diary milk to make it with I'd suggest that, but if not, you may add some organic butter from grass fed cows to your kafir milk mix and see how that works. Good luck!

If you want to eat 1300 calories a day, just up your exercise. You can eat the calories you burn doing exercise and loose weight. The 'trick' is to find a way to be healthy that you can do your whole life.

In your after picture you look 28 years old! No way! Great job!

I'm in.

Wow! Twenty pounds in less than a month? How'd you do it? Congratulations!!!

I like your goal! I think I'll aim for the same thing. Right now I'm doing the 30 day shred and some strength work, but I'll add that goal. It's attainable! We can do it!

Nevermind.

Fifty two pounds in about six months? Was it just by tracking calories? Congratulations! You look great!

You're doing great! Keep it up! Weights are awesome.

Praying for your child! Good NSV ~ stay strong!

It's all natural, so that sugar you're getting is from the fruit, not added for taste. For instance, my favorite is the Green Goodness, which is listed here: http://bolthouse.com/product/greengoodness Ingredients: PINEAPPLE JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE (WATER, PINEAPPLE JUICE CONCENTRATE), APPLE JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE (WATER,…

Save the cheerleader, save the world! (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Your hair's awesome! Welcome aboard!

This might be it. Truly, how does he treat you at home, when it's just you two? Is he considerate? Does he act like he loves you, are does he take you for granted. I've found that a person's intuition is usually right, but maybe if you keep focusing on your health and being fit/lovely for yourself, he'll start responding…

WEAR YOUR HELMET.

Well, if they're telling you it's your body type that's keeping them from dating you, then they're either not worth dating or they're trying to nicely turn you down without hurting your feelings. It's important to get healthy because it's what you want to do, not in hopes that girls will decide to date you. Besides, if…

Here's what I'd suggest, though, regarding random acts of violence. Get some training, find a gun that you feel comfortable with, and get your concealed carry permit if you happen to live in a state that 'allows' you to have your Constitutional right to carry. You might also get a permit for any state you routinely travel…

So sorry for your loss! It sounds like you were very close. This is a great idea! Thank you for sharing the roadmap!

You dated a MARRIED MAN who didn't have enough time for you, and now you're concerned that this new guy has kids who will need his attention? Do him a favor; don't date him. It sounds like you need either a SINGLE guy with no kids or one with grown kids. And no pets. Because they'll need time from him too. Make sure you…

Hey, you passed up those "Fat pills", and you also had the grace and good upbringing to not say something mean back to her. Good for you! As for the rude kids... it's our culture nowadays. They think that cruelty in the guise of 'wit' is acceptable. Keep your head up, lady! You're doing great! Embrace the life you've…

Ha! That's great! Every sign of improvement is a good thing. Keep up the great work!

Doesn't the 85/15 rule let us have one "cheat" meal a week without guilt?

It's so good to see a thread of actual SUPPORT and MOTIVATION! There are so many times when our MFP members will come on the site looking for genuine "I know what you mean" relational support, and there are so many mean people on the site who will just cut them down and say they're just being "honest". I commend all you…
