Well, Bombedpop, do you have a better theory, are are you just here to shoot down others' ideas? At least steinersteph9 HAD an idea, and for some people wheat does make a difference. Don't be such a downer. Offer help or validate your reasons to disagree, but don't just shoot down some one's idea like some adolescent…

Looking good! Keep your trigger control straight until ready to shoot and have fun! Getting healthy is a wonderful thing, isn't it! Empowering! Everyone should know how to protect themselves. Way to go!

Do it NOW! DO as much as you can, but start. It's never too soon to get moving, and the program has an 'easier' version of most exercises that you can try. Don't wait. Life moves on. Don't let it pass you by.

Usually the ones who notice are the people who don't see us very often, but it's so nice when someone who does also sees our progress! This is a great NSV. Keep up the good work!

Welcome to the group! I joined recently too, and I'm surprise at how much yummier my meals have gotten. Keep us posted on your progress! I went and revamped my ticker; my first was for a 40 lb drop, and now I'm on the next 45. I have to set smaller goals or I get discouraged. Anyway, welcome again!

This is how she did it.

I have to agree with the other ladies; skip the Medifast and clean your diet. I was a big 'easy food' eater too, and have just recently started eating more naturally. I've actually gone Paleo, but you might choose a different method. Logging your calories is the most important thing, and give yourself good food for energy.…

Warsenic! This was great! You lightened my day. Ha!

I read that most people resize their pictures on sites like Photobucket. There's a great sticky thread in the message boards about how to resize your pictures. From what I could see, though, you've done great! I'm inspired!

Strava is another great program you can use if you run or bike to keep track of your runs and see where others are finding fun places to go. Congratulations! Keep trying new things and pushing forward.

You should look in the groups for low-carb, Atkins, Primitive, Paleo or similar groups to join. I did The main boards can open you up to a lot of scrutiny and nay-sayers, but you'll find everyone on here from vegetarians to carnivores. Welcome to the sight! Check in on the "Success stories" thread for motivation.

Congratulations!

If you settle for less than you deserve... you'll get less than you settled for.

That made me laugh! I needed that; thanks!

Yeah, I just had a slice of my daughter's cranberry bread. That's gotta be my 15% for the week. 'Cause I'm weak.

Hey, just saw that you're nearly at 50 pounds! Way to go!

Here's the first picture of you. Tried changing IMG to img. Hope it works.

I know what you mean! I stared at the ice cream in the store the other day; my kids really wanted some, but I knew that I'd wind up eating it all! And the temporary pleasure of the calories were not worth it. Your post about carrying in those bags of dog food and then realizing that they were what you use to carry around…

Hi! Our goals are about the same. I'd be glad to partner up with you. What are your goals? Right now I'm trying to do several things; exercise 3xweek, keep my calories under 1200 a day, and drink 4 glasses of water a day minimum. I have about 50 pounds to loose.

The title is wonderful! Good work to your wife, and how great that you're her cheering squad!

You look so much younger, and you're dimples are so cute! Thank you for the inspiration!!!! Keep up the great work!

Here we go! Anyone here doing anything different? For instance, I started the Paleo diet 10 days ago, kept it under 1200 calories and drank less than 1 soda/coffee a day, the rest water. I went down 11 pounds! Yeah, I know; probably water weight. But now I'm going to incorporate the Paleo exercises plus a little bit of…

We have 6 kids and I homeschool them while Dear Husband earns the money to feed our darling locusts! Counting calories isn't working on it's own, so three days ago I put myself on a modified…

This sounds fun and doable! I'm in.

Wonderful inspiration! You worked your butt off, literally! Keep it up, you just added years to your life!

I'm so sorry! It will be alright; you had happiness before this Ex-person, and you'll have happiness afterwards. Take care of yourself.

You should report that incident to the local police. Sure, they won't do much, but what if you find out that the jerk picked up someone else and killed her? You'll always wonder if you could have prevented it. Stay safe! Carry self-protection, have your phone, stay in populated routes.... And good for you about following…

Hey ~ you lost 43 pounds! That's fantastic!
