fast learner - you'll do just fine!

Here's a website for some core exercises: http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/core-strength-training.html You'd be surprised how strengthening your core makes you so much stronger in daily life.

It's not the camera (or the mirror), your mind hasn't caught up to your body....you look great!

I started with mine closed (thinking I didn't eat well) and had looked at a few open ones and realized I eat really well - not perfect - but pretty darn good I think. I also keep it open, hoping that others will see what you can eat (and how much) without going to the golden arches, etc, etc. On the other hand, who am I to…

So, I'll skip Taylorgirl (for obvious reasons) and go to Snazzytraveller who looks about 21

Only you can force yourself to make healthier choices. I've done WW ages ago and lost weight, but used to cry myself to sleep because I was so hungry. I did it again just last year thinking the new plan would be different and it's still basically the same thing - Points. You pay to use the tracking system on-line, but MFP…

And I'd be smiling in the 'new you' picture!

I love being outside.....

Holy smokes! You look so cute now. Aren't you brave to do a Half - that's a perfect distance. Let us know how you do - I'd love hear it.

If you want to do a weekly avg, you could look at your weekly "calories remaining" and divide by 7. I don't see where you got the weekly "calories remaining" from......

Sooooooo much better! Words couldn't possibly top the pictures. Awesome job.

BMR = 1395 Goal = 1510 Average = 1900 due to exercise

That's too bad. I find that that works after meals too as way of telling myself, no more food.

How about packing a tooth brush instead. ZERO calories!

I weigh in every day and currently use Monday as my 'official' weigh in day. I've rotated around on my official days depending on what plan I've been currently following. I don't do anything different on my weigh in day, but I do the day before. I find if I have a steak dinner the night before (with tons of vegetables -…

Beautifully put. The amount of people I've run next to that whimper at the slightest incline, declaring it a hill is unbelievable. I've also been able to pass people on hills through the various stages listed and even some on the way down. And yes, they are a prepatory exercise to strengthen those leg muscles & increase…

The only big thing left on you is that smile! Awesome job!

What about going to a local rec centre and have an a consult? They could set you up with an 'at-home' routine. They're usually pretty reasonable with their fees. Or try a personal trainer for the same thing. Both could show you how to perform the exercises correctly. You can go back in a month or two to check that you're…

I know how you feel. I had that happen to me after losing like 30 - 35 lbs! But you are so much better than him. You're here, you're working towards being a better you and you are running. Betcha he's no where near you. So let it go and continue on YOUR journey.

Outside as much as possible (which is most of the time - running & biking) and indoors at fitness classes or at my trainers place

Pork - might as well eat crow!

pay some bills

Holy smokes - that's a good job - you look great

You must have known I wanted to post this quote today as it suits you to a "T": If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. Thomas Alva Edison Job well done!

That's the best birthday present anyone could give to themselves and to their family! AWESOME JOB!

Buy some new clothes now - make it a positive thing. By waiting it makes it a daunting task to lose more weight before you buy new clothes. Reward yourself - yes, consignment clothes & thrift shops are perfect places to get some new outfits. And take your old fat clothes and throw them out or give them away - don't have…

Try an apple with a bit of peanut butter, or celery with a bit of peanut butter. A small amount of nuts, such as almonds, or walnuts are good too. But do watch the amount of nuts you eat as they are high in calories and fat. They do work to fend off those hunger pangs. I find if I eat fruit alone it just gets my digestion…
