Wow you look really amazing! Keep going, you should be so proud!

Without being able to see your diary it's hard to know if you are eating properly and the right amount. You said you were on 1200 calories and losing and then added in exercise and are not losing. You may not be eating enough. Your sodium levels may be higher than you realise especially if you eat a lot of processed foods.…

Sainsburys has a nice Green Tea with Lemon (bags), I make a quart container, chill it and drink it over ice, YUM!

That's amazing! Congrats and keep it up.

And here I thought Sauerkraut or blood and tongue wurst would turn up a few noses. Not even close.

:laugh: That's funny!

This is the answer to something completely different...:bigsmile:

I'm working towards eating foods with more than 4 or 5 ingredients. Soups and stews are stressful for me. I don't eat food from someone if I have never seen their kitchen. I don't eat the pointy, crunchy ends of french fries (fry tails), I pick them off and set them aside. My family and friends get the biggest giggle out…

I love food porn! My hubby is a big fan of The Chive and when they have food pics he knows to come share with me! Here in the UK there are commercials from M&S and they have the best food porn. I'm currently lusting after their apple strudel. :blushing:

Oatmeal, oatmeal and yeah oatmeal. Some of the flavours smell so good and it's so good for you. I can not get it into my mouth, the second I do I start to gag.

So sad, such a visionary. My condolences to his wife and children. RIP Steve Jobs.

I hated it in the beginning but love it now! I do 40 minutes max at a time. Since my knee injury, this and the stationary bike are the best exercises. Now the bike, I hate! I do the 'cardio burn' option on the elliptical and boy do I sweat.

I have changed up to seeded wheat breads, wheat pasta, etc. Reading all the info. about the side effects of adding too much too fast has hit a chord with me :( what can I do to get these symptoms to subside? I don't want to cut back and re-add, will it eventually balance out as my system gets used to it?

I take the bus into town and walk the 1 + mile to the gym. The bus only takes correct change and I didn't have it. I thought about not going and just doing the Wii, but I put my shoes on and walked all the way, 3+ miles then walked it back after working out.

Can't eat avocado, allergic to it. Won't eat anchovies, nasty little buggers!

Awww thanks Debs I love you more! But you already know that since you are my biggest inspiration :) Hearing all the positives about C25K is really great and I told hubby about it and he wants to do it as well, so he is going to run with me on Thursday! Thank you everyone for your truly kind words, it really motivates me to…

Amazing changes! Well done. You will definitely inspire others!

You can and you will do this. I so wish I was at 26 lbs lost right now, what you've accomplished is amazing. You are so close to 'onederland' and it is such an amazing feeling when you achieve that. Get some new goals and workout routines and just keep going.

:blushing: Aww thanks everyone! This has been on heck of a crazy ride, but I am determined to stay on for the long haul.

Congrats on the compliment, that's awesome! I am an anti-social exerciser as well. I've been going to the gym for months and I don't speak to anyone but a couple of the trainers. I watch Buffy and Angel during my workouts and am totally focused on that. I have however noticed those around me glancing at my iPhone to see…

This just happened to me today. A friend and neighbour on FB posted a picture of some lush chocolate cookies. I commented 'Oh I can't imagine the calories in those!' He knows that I am hitting the gym and eating better. So he texts me not 2 hours later asking if he can stop by for a catch up with the hubby and I oh and can…

There is a WAH forum that I mod on and there is one person there who always types 'pust' in place of 'supposed' and it drives me crazy. I always want to go in and correct her posts, 'how am I pust to help this person' we've often wondered what it would be like to actually speak to her. My daughter and her boyfriend lived…

I work from home so doing both! I'm my own boss and my boss is pretty cool. :glasses: I have MFP open, facebook and work tabs that are super secret have to kill ya if I tell ya types and POGO.

I just bought blueberries, I know what's for breakfast tomorrow!

OMG I love stollen! I like it warm with butter. :love:

Original pringles with Roasted Red Pepper Hummus. It never makes it...oh hell I just drooled on the keyboard...

Have done day 2 of 3 (yay) and 9.8 miles!!! I am nearly there on the mileage, going with my friend for our walk tonite and it may just put me over! How is everyone else doing?

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. ~ Confucius I say this in my head every time I step on the treadmill.

Ok so for this week I've managed 1 day of 3 and I have done 13 miles. woot woot.

Great quote. I am always happy to lose just one pound.
