I made the decision to have gastric bypass after a car accident and the back pain that resulted from it made it impossible to exercise. I put on an additional 20 lbs over my highest weight and was beginning to show signs of prediabetes. That was last October. I did my research and went to counseling. I have lost 65 pounds…

Yes - I made up my own workout by watching Leslie Sansone but I hated her music so I made a playlist with songs that are between 150-160 bpm and walk/run for anywhere between 30-45 minutes run every 2 or three songs for 2 minutes. I can do it on the treadmill or I can do it stationary with knee lifts, kicks, kick backs,…

Anyone who wants to friend me please do so. I would love the encouragement and have good attitude to spare and share :happy:

Catherine (catmomof3) 211............................211.............................180 I had a bump up in my weight this week. I did a lot of cheating. No more cheating for me!

I'm also at 21 lbs lost. I would love to help you with some support! 21 pounds is a great loss already! :happy: You should be very proud of yourself. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Keep it up. I found, as someone who likes to eat, that exercise plus the tracking of what I put in my mouth really is the combo for the best…

I'm in! I'd like to be 180 by December 31, So we will weigh in tomorrow right?

If you're not seeing progress on the scale - Don't use it. Weigh only once a week and invest in a tape measure and check your measurements. When the scales don't show it, your measurements usually do. Thats what I do. I also have wish clothes now. Those are the clothes I wish I could get into. I can also see my progress…

Great job Kristi! Thank you for posting such inspiring pictures. I know the hard work is paying off for you. You look great. I'm an inch shorter than you are and 2lbs heavier currently and you look SO MUCH BETTER! 8 more lbs to go for me till I get to 199, but I see it on the horizon thanks to your pictures! Keep it going!

What an inspiration! I haven't let anyone take a picture of me in years but I will start taking some now - if only to document the journey! Thank you for sharing. I know I can stick with it.

Great job! You did better than I did! I had a similar experience with red velvet cake on Friday. I was able to say no to the cake but not to the icing. But i did count it in my food that day. Proud of you Danielle! We're on our way!

You look awesome! I'm still not ready for pictures yet - but that is an inspiration. Great job! :happy:

Great job! What a great feeling that must have been. I'm getting to the same boat with you. I'm going to have to take in some of my work pants so I don't have to buy clothes twice.

I'm in Huntsville....

I started with Leslie Sansone 1-2 mile walk also. I got really tired of her music selection so now I made a playlist using jog.fm for songs that are 150 beats per minute and boost( got to 160 BPM) for 2 minutes out of every ten. I started at 30 minutes and now I'm up to 45-50 after a month and a half. I'm not going to go…

There is a recipe builder under the food tab. You can divide the servings of the total amount what you make into 1 tsbp servings. If you have a scale weigh the total amount of your recipe and then weigh your usual serving. Divide the usual serving into the total amount and the recipe builder will calculate the calories.…

This is the best one I have seen yet. http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/heart-rate-based-calorie-burn-calculator.aspx This calculates your max heart rate too. Hope this helps. :happy:

I would love to be your friend here and cheer you on. I am also 41, have 83 total lbs to lose and am also down 13 lbs. So 70 to go for me. My goal weight is 145. I know it sucks to be sick at our age. :sick: Don't feel bad. It's the getting back on the wagon that counts, not how many times you fall off. 2lbs in 2 weeks is…
