OMG! I am speechless yet proud to know someone out there really wanted to know what it was like for us..he gets a SUPER HIGH 5 in my book...what a change tho...wow!

Sounds like you are trying to talk yourself out of it. The way I see it, is when I feel like that and still go, I feel GREAT...if I feel like that and bag it, I feel bad and argue with myself...go , not go, go, not go. Look at it this way, if you go, you stay ahead of the game for when you need to pass for a 911…

try sitting in the sauna...better yet, do your abs, squats, lunges and push up or jumping jacks in there. My trainer did that with me twice a week and it sure worked...and I really hate being sweaty and thought I was gonna die...but I wouldn't change a thing knowing what I know now :) Just mix it in and out of your routine…

Amen to that, I have 3 of the little buggers....:sad:

Any fruit that starts with P. Peaches, plums, pears....I don't recommend having them all for breakfast at the same time...could be EXPLOSIVE!!! Should come with a warning label...that is what the doc said when I took my daughter in. Eat with caution....good luck! :drinker:

I use 5-10 depending on my day and how in the mood I am. If the 5's get to be too much, you can substitute with canned foods. That is what my friend uses. Baby steps is what we call it. Plus, who doesn't have canned foods in the house?? It beats going out and spending more money :happy: Good luck and have fun!! :drinker:

I was a 5 as well....yup, I would have to say pretty accurate...dang. Plus, now I am craving Strawberry Short Cake...crap.

It's got more sugar in it than I would care for, but I would say eat until your heart is content..:smile:

I say totally go for it. I had both bikini and underarm done. The place here prescribes a numbing cream that you apply then wrap in a saran wrap diaper for about an hour before your appt. Didn't feel a thing. results are very satisfying and touch up is $20 if u ever need it for the duration of life. She applied baggie of…

I use the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray....0 cals, 0 fat, 0 everything. I spray it on my protein pancakes for breakfast :smile:

I find most of my nutrition info that isn't stored on www.calorieking.com

I can semi relate. My sister in law "cheated" by going to see the "Fat Doctor" you know, the guy that pops you full of a few different kind of pills and says you don't have to exercise but you need to cut down on carbs and sugar. Ok.First of all. If the pills are in a jar on his desk, WHY WOULD YOU TAKE THEM????? I would…

I know for me personally, times 2 no less, that cutting diet soda made a HUGE difference. I LOVE fountain Diet Pepsi..I could drink it all day. Very sad :sad: Anyhow, I backed off and my stomach has flattened and dropped inches and my weight has gone down as well. I don't have that bloated feeling and now it just doesn't…

I use the wheat bran in my protein pancakes...yummy!

WAHOO!! Yippie yi yay!! Such an awesome feeling...High 5 MFP friend...keep on going and before you know it...BAM! there it is :drinker:

:noway:

Likes, if that is a current picture of yourself, then I would say, you look awesome. Maybe take a break and maintain for a little while, then re-assess. That is a current photo of me. Taken after a day of jet skiing..I love jet skiing...I was thinking of going to maintenance status, but just cannot make up my mind.…

Phantom Fat....now THAT is a great name for it! Thanks for the arcticle link...I'll definately take that into account :flowerforyou:

I personally do first thing in the morning after bathroom break but before I put on any clothing. Pretty much same routine every day. I find that makes me happiest :smile: The other day I actually spent the whole day at home. I stepped on that stinkin scale so many different times. Pretty much everytime I walked into the…

Yup, I would have to go with that tattoo as well....make sure and send pics if you do!!

Here's to lower BP and to a newer HEALTHIER you :drinker:

Gotta love when things like that just sneak up on ya...my first time I had just gotten the new Nike Shox shoes..I now refer to them as "My Magic Shoes!" High 5 MFP friend...keep it going...

I am going thru the "fat moment" again now too. I hit a goal, then another and another. Started in October 2008 and the last 2 months I have just been maintaining. Well, now I have decided another 15 pounds need to go. Then I can finish firming up and look into the Fitness Competition beginnig of next year. The thought of…

That is FANTASTIC! I am hoping to get mine dropped another 10% in the upcoming months. It's such a great feeling when you are out of the obese catagory..High 5 :drinker:

Don't do it! It is the angel and the devil :devil: all wrapped up into one 12 inch by 12 inch square. It will consume your life...you will become addicted. Ok, semi true, but kidding. I have the Tanita..it tells you how much water your body has, what your body fat percentage is and tells you if your underweight, normal,…

Isn't it the best feeling ever??!!! Those are the feeling that help you keep going. At least they are for me :bigsmile: WTG sister!

Baby steps. It's next year. Take your time, breathe deep and relax....YOU GOT THIS! :smile:

Glad they caught the jerk. Thankfully you and your family are ok. That is the best news you can give. High 5 to you as well for having your own insurance...whew!

I would start on my knees and then "sneak " up on my toes in the middle for 1 or 2 then back to my knees. I think it was mainly mental thinking. You know, kinda like the thrill of getting caught or getting away with the last cookie in the jar...pretty soon, before you know it, your MENTAL state is hey, that wasn't so bad.…
