Thanks much!!!

Well I've noticed within the past few weeks that I was getting virtually no responses from any of my friends ( I don't have many) with the exception of about 2, even when I finally hit the BIG 20 lbs lost :). I just now checked and quite a few of them haven't checked in weeks, so I deleted them. I have only deleted one…

you look great, congrats!!

Ummm...WOW!! What an amazing transformation! congrats!

wow, fantastic!!!!!

I take Levothyroxine. Never had what your taking. Set yourself up with a healthy calorie count here, log everyday, log everything, and give it a bit of time and see what happens.

wow, what an accomplishment!!!!!

wow, fantastic!!

I had the same thoughts when I started 70 days ago ," Is it too late" ( Im 43). That's just fear talking!! I have seen so many success stories on here, woman and men, older then me that are LIVING their lives, looking fantastic and living healthy. LOG IN EVERYDAY LOG EVERYTHING Read Success Stories ( very inspirational,…

I lift 5 days a week for apx 1 hour each day. The weight training program I'm following started me on cardio in the second phase, so I'm also on the treadmill 3x a week for 20-30 minutes. I dont like cardio, love the weights! I do notice the weight coming off faster or more consistent with the cardio added in though, not…

Thanks, I sleep from 10 till 530. I have been feeling tired lately though, I assumed it was from all the working out. I also read about magnesium and pot levels. I will check that. I really hope I don't become one of those peeps that need a nap every day lol. Im not a happy person after a nap! haha

Do you have a Lucille Roberts nearby? I pay 10 a month and they have daycare

I'm sure someone already said this, but old fashion oatmeal only takes about 3 minutes on the stove! I don't care for it in the microwave, too mushy. Another quicky breakfast I make is toasted sprout bread or a whole grain with organic peanut butter and bananas, hard boiled eggs, protein shake with peanut butter and fruit.

I have pushups today on my program :sad: I'm terrible at them and I do them on my knees also.

Great job, and very encouraging. I'm also 5'4" and started at 203.

I have cut back on my tea, but I still drink on average 3 cups a day. I use Organic FF milk, I add it as a 1/4 cup at the end of the day. I also use organic sugar, and measure out a tablespoon vs heaping it in there.

Assuming your the food shopper, don't buy bad snacks that you will go overboard with. Plan out your snacks to stay within your calories, and you'll be fine. Good luck!

wow great results !! Hope to post myself someday :)

Big changes in both of you! Congrats and keep it up!!

search in the groups. There is a Stronglifts 5x5 group. An easy layout is there in the stickies.

Bump, thanks!

Thanks, assuming you meant "Dietary reference intakes", I found this page with info: http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Calcium-QuickFacts/#h5 States: 1000mg for adults 19-50. Going back in my diary, the ONLY days I have come close or over is when I drink a protein shake. Really loving this weight lifting, already fell once…

They just started playing the show Supernatural in the am at my gym. One of my fav's! I'm lifting mostly, and was skipping the treadmill when I was done, but now I look forward to walking a bit and watching the show :)

Your doing wonderful! I also want to look into a heart rate monitor!

you look wonderful! I am also 5'4", started at 203, my goal is also set at 145 for the same reasons :)

Must be working opposite for me. I fell at the gym with a bar on my shoulders the other day. Sprained my finger pretty good!

I buy Shoprite's Organic popcorn. Natural, no butter. Taste great, plus is has 5 grams of fiber and 3 protein per cup popped. 30 calories per cup. One bag makes 5 cups popped, I usually eat 2.5 cups. Really helps me hit my fiber goals at the end of the day :)

" As a proper garment and not as a "prop"." I love that, and get it! congrats, what a great feeling!

Wow, good for them!! What a change!

I also weigh every day, sometimes not on Saturdays ( Friday night dinner is my anything gos) , now that I know it wont post gains, I may do it .
