Due to HLA-B27 I deal with inflammation throughout my body; recently the joints, ligaments & tendon in my left ankle up to the bottom of my calf was severely inflamed. I had to be in an air cast for 8 weeks. That soooo sucked. In addition the ligaments in my chest got inflamed for about a week during this time. None the…

What He said... you can tell the state of someone relationship based on their response. In regards to your "strength" you have to decide that you're simply not going to eat the stuff. We all know nagging, being mad, complaing to him and about him dosent' work. What do work is to show him support and love in his…

No Excuses Period

Ditto... except I have a cat... she stays along with the hubby and two sons. I sleep much better now than when I was heavier.

Ditto... I notice a major change in my numbers after I got one.

In addition I started a new position which kept me at my desk compared to my old position as a IT specialist fixing computers which kept me moving... then I started eating when I was board, and no one told me I was FAT. But now..still happily married, still sit at a desk all day but don't eat when I'm board and I workout…

My hubby shaves his and I like it... :smile:

Ditto.. sad part is my Dr... is obese herself. It was hard having someone tell me I needed to loose weight and she herself is obese. Needless to say, she see my change and ask me what I'm doing... :laugh:

Whistle... A very soft sound come out when I try... My hubby laughs at me... I'd be a bad lookout person especially if you require me to whistle as a warning.. you'd be cought for sure. :laugh: Oh.. I have yet to figure out what my cat is thinking...

Nothing makes me sad... I'm really happy about the weight loss... I'm blessed because one of my friends have been letting me go shopping in her closets... yes I typed closetS. So I have cloths in the now size 10 that I am. In addition I'm was able to pass my previouse size cloths on to several other friends who are…

I wear a HRM for every workout... currently I'm doing hybrid of P90X & Insanity and for the weight lifting I log the calories burned. With my HRM I have three levels 1, 2, 3... I set it to level 1 or 2 for weight lifting; it depends on which P90X I'm doing. For example for chest & back I set it at level 1 for legs & back I…

Conspiracy :noway: They even gave it its only formula H2O... look out "they" are out to get us all...

Ditto... do what works for you. I choose not to eat beef but I love me some turkey & chicken. Tried goose for the first time... didn't like it, its too greasy and I'm not a fan of dark meat.

Polar is what I use... chest strap is under my sports bra so I don't feel the difference. I love it.:smile:

Nope, haven't had that happen.. But what annoys me is when I'm in Sam's Club and they are giving out samples and some of the people just can't take "No" as my final answer. I then respond "I didn't get down from a size 16 to now a 10 by accepting all sorts of snacks that's offered to me. :-)" Then they either roll their…

You can add me... I'm going on 1 year of this life style change with food and exercise... and I'm loving it. I'm not on any particular "diet" I just use MFP to track what I eat and make the necessary adjustments... i.e. eating egg whites, no beef and no pork which I never at anyway but sticking to that has made a huge…

I'm doing Insanity and P90X at the same time... I googled for a hybrid calendar with them both and I'm loving it. I started 2wks ago and got sick so I restared this past Monday. I wear my HRM when working out and burning some serious calories. You can friend me if you want to.

October 2010 I was boarderline diabetic... I said OH NO that's it time to change. Now my numbers are awesome, no more heart medicine (rapid heart beat) and no more blood pressure medicine. I think God for the will power to change and I'm lovin it. :smile:

Use the app... I use it and log my food before or after each meal.

I donate my cloths I take them to the women/children shelter. My bras and panties well I toss those in the trash. I'm finding that some of my shoes (width wise) don't fit so I have to donate those as well.

I think its either water or your diet... compare your food from when you were doing TF to now... I myself finished P90X and now doing a hybrid workout of P90X and Insanity and find that I like the cardio better.

Welcome to the site... feel free to add me and my husband (jamesfulmer1) he is on here and we'll be glad to keep you motivated. I'm 15 days away from being on the site for a full year and my hubby started several months ago.

OK.. I use to eat at Chipotle or Five Guy, those were my two favorite places to eat... so here is my breakdown: Chipoltle chicken Burrito w/veggies black beans, cheese, sour cream and Guacamole TOTALS Calories: 1045 Total Fat (g): 51.5 Saturated Fat (g): 20 Trans Fat: 0 Cholesterol Fat (mg): 185 Sodium (mg): 1810…

I've always been friendly towards people but I'm surprised that people that I didn't even know me "personally" realized I've lost weight... at work and at church. Many occassions people men and wome have come up and asked me how I did it and sought out my advice because they've seen the weight come off slow. At work some…

What they said... I completed P90X classic and per P90 I should consume more calories than what MFP say.. Understand MFP set your number based on you not working out. Look at it like this...calorie is a unit energy and your body requires in order to function. Example: 1400 calories need to function i.e heart beat, pump…

I agree... I don't deny myself... I just have a 100 calorie version of what I crave and workout hard. :smile:

I wear my heart rate monitor whenever I'm working out... even when lifting weights. That's the best way captured calories burned.

Ditto.... I put my "too big for me now" cloths on the floor under my standing mirror... symbolic. Mirror reminds me of where I am and the cloths remind me of how far I come. After a while I give them away to other women I know that are larger and loosing weight as well. Just this past weekend I gave away size 14 & size 16…

What she said... I'm making sure I include pushups and ab work to help with this. Slow and steady is the key.
