Hey Gang: I'm Linda and am 47 years old and joined this group just a couple of days ago. I live in Oklahoma where the wind never seems to quit blowing. I work evenings at a school and it can get quite sedentary. When I am exercising and not in hibernation, I do it at home in the mornings because I have the house to myself.…

I can go days and get a very tender abdomen. I went to the doctor once and they did a scan and he said my large colon was extra large. They encouraged me to get extra fiber and water to move things along. It is uhealthy to stay in the body for that length of time. Run to the doctor!

I want to join! Yesterday Monday, Jan 5th I did day one of level one. I didn't do it today due to muscle soreness in my calves and thighs. I hope to be ready to continue on Wednesday.

Making a menu for the week and then shopping for those items at the store has helped me not buy a head of lettuce only to throw it away a couple of weeks later because I didn't have a meal plan that included lettuce. I buy chicken breast and hamburger in large quantities at Sam's and divide up in freezer bags at home. This…

Deciding to do it and not quit.

How cool is your success! You lost an amazing amount of weight and in record time. It's like your the "Biggest Loser" but without the TV show! Great Job! You should be proud.

I love your attitude! Well Done.

i keep my diary private because what I eat is only my business unless I want advice. Many times I go back and complete a diary a day later. I also changed my settings to never say "completed her diary and under calorie goal. I get tired of seeing it on posts so I took it off of mine. For the record, rarely ever under…

You are so attractive! You will get there once you are ready and determined; and it sounds like you are. Good luck to you! I agree...you don't look like you are 205 lbs.

I wish I had some Badonkadonk! We always want what we don't have. I've got that apple shape going on. Argggghhhhh. Good luck!

I keep a bottle at work and at home. I have a new system, I drink one by noon, 4pm, 8pm, and midnight. To one of those I add Crystal Light to it to make it easier to get down. I get tired of water.

You have achieved so much! Great Job, keep it up.

I wear a 6/8 but my weight is all in the front. I bought Spanx to wear under a clingy party dress and wanted to flatten out my tummy a little. It worked, but it was the most uncomfortable thing to put on! I even tried it on in the store and bought a larger size. They are okay for special occasions, but I wouldn't want to…

I hover around 129-134. The goal I wanted was 125. With my diet and exercise patterns, 125 wasn't happening. In order to get there, I would really have to be more strict with diet/exercise. I'm in the middle of the healthy weight range and wear a 6/8. I can be quite satisfied with that. When It's bathing suit season my…

I bought 30 DS just a couple of weeks ago. A couple of slight injuries have kept me from starting...and a little fear of the pain that wil come!

I have a great elliptical at home. It is the NordicTrack ACT. It is very stable and I love the adjustable stride. It totally kicks my butt every time I use it! It is a great calorie burn. Now, I just need a little more motivation to get back into the swing of things. I seem to be taking a slight exercise vacation.

WOW! Hot Stuff!

Buy fresh asparagus. Cut the last few inches off and discard. Then heat up saute pan with half butter and half olive oil. Toss around the asparagus in the butter/oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for less than 5 minues. It should have a little crispness, not too soft. Drain on a paper towel. Enjoy. P.S. Your…

I have learned to do that also. It really helps!

Way Awesome! You are doing great!

It appears he is an insensitive jerk! I agree he can cook his own meals. It sounds like a bigger problem. If he regularly treats you with this type of disrespect and insensitivity you might reconsider the entire relationship. This is a character flaw.

Way Super Awesome! I smell Bacon!

Now THAT is dedication! You should be proud.

I looked at your other pictures as this upside down one is hard to comprehend. You are a beautiful young lady. Please do not resort to posting underwear pictures. If other girls are getting attention, it is the wrong kind of attention. Some of the girls on this site tend to try too hard to get attention and can look a…

Buuurrrr...no thanks.

First, plan what meals you would like to make, then make your grocery list. Shop around the outer edges of the store. This is the produce, meats, and dairy aisles generally. You should eat breakfast. Try any of the following: boiled egg, cereal (low sugar kind), eggs, peanut butter on toast/english muffin etc... You might…

I have a very large "hater" co-worker also. She won't diet, she won't exercise and she has come up with every excuse in the book as to why she can't adopt a healthy lifestyle. She insists bypass is the way to go, but she would fail because it is not a magic fix. You have to learn healthy habilts which she isn't going to…

You can do it Anna! Think of it as a lifestyle change and you will make it. Just think of how upset you are when you don't finish. Brush yourself off and jump in. Don't have unrealistic expectations, that will set you up for quitting.

No Mo Yo-Yo! It's time to commit to a permanent lifestyle change and you can do it.. Don't try to lose too fast. You need to keep all of the muscle that you can as it burns fat.

"Thass" a great victory!
