for the first time ever - i have chucked almost all of my fat clothes. In between my last major gain and this major loss I read that you should get rid of them quickly. I did it in phases. Within the first 50 pounds I started bagging things up and giving them to friends/family and donating ... in teh last 45 pounds I hace…

great post.. thanks!

bump for later

Thx Scrapitaly

Feel free to add

Thanks for the reminder Kate.... Think I may look for a meeting to attend as we'll...

absolutely good for you! dont look at it as how much farther you have to go -- but how far you've come and all that youve learned thus far! keep up the good work!

yay! uve given me somethingbto look fwd to!

ive been on predni for about a year and i DEFINITELY found that it increased my appetite. i try to take it only as needed for my RA, and found taking it before bed helps with the increased appetite. I typically wont wake up just bc IM hungry thank goodness. On the unfortunate case where I miss it at nite and have to take…

hello.. im Summa.. fellow high prolactin disorder which caused my period to not come for well over a year. started going to an Endo and learned I had a microadenoma (small cyst on my brain impacting my pituitary gland - increasing my prolactin levels). The peroid is back but no sign of pregnancy. Ive been married two years…

5'3" and 227. Teetering between cardio and weight training. Know training is in my best interest but working on training for a 5k in mid October. Thinking I'm going to stick with cardio til o toner and see how things go. Feel free to add..Onederland feels soo far away. Been on mfp for about 5 months and seem to have lost…

thanks for posting.. going next wed - sat (much shorter of a stay than you) but was a bit worried a/b picking up a few pound as well. great responses everyone!

when I tell you im no veggie lover... i mean im not but the balsamic and the rosemary seems to just unleash ALL of the hidden flavor in the veggies. i just had some for lunch as a side and on my salad and I think a "moan" of satisfaction might have escaped... hahaha! kinda kidding but not really.

RIVETING! thanks for posting.

SUPERGIRL... you are truly an inspiration. Im training for a 5K and am in the 230's and keep asking myself if Im sure I dont want to wait til Im lighter. Is it reasonable for me to undertake this at such a heavy weight. Jogging makes me feel like Im in the BIGGEST lard *kitten* ini the world and im lugging it all behind at…

iust finished C25K about 10 days ago and while i dont love running im excited that (while IM still slow) I can go for a full 30 mins. Always thought that would NEVER happen., Also love how it makes me feel afterward, like I got a real full body workout. Would love to add new c25k friends and follow each other's progress.…

mid 30's and feel free to add!

i felt the same way ... still dont love it, but found that reading my kindle and listening to music helps on the treadmill.. otherwise running outside might be hepful if you pick a park or somehwere scenic.... check back in with what you've decided and u progress. if that still doesntg help scrap running and like others…

excellent job christi. u look FABULOUS!

BUMPITY

Bump.

im going thru a c25k program righ tnow. just finished week 6 (of 9) not sure I LOVE RUNNING YET. i love how i feel afterward, but not as thrilled as Im doing it, but it'd be great to have more support from other new runners. feel free to add me.

for years Ive been using wrists as an indicator to determine if someone was always overweight or if they gained weight fairly recently. Its so crazy.. but if you look at your wrist and you can see the bone sticking out my theory is ur 'inclined't to be or were slim if your entire wrist is 'meaty' likely u were always…

awesome posts!

OMG u nailed it. since re-joining MFP i have been in carb overload. I love them but they dont love me vack. ive been at it for almost 90 days and my weight is barely moving. Also doing Eating more to lose weight but think I need to eat more of my calories from protein.. the fat part is what worrie sme. Ive done low carb in…

thank you for posting!

That is awesome. I am now regretting not reading this book sooner.. the authors do such a great job of dispelling myths and giving you a play by play of how as women we have erred on the side of caution unecessarily as it relates to weight training. I decided to get a Personal trainer to ensure my form is correct with the…

I just ORDERED new rules last week - the normal way via amazon. i would have much preferred to support you- but I see a donation in your VERYY near future. I think you ladies rock and totally got me to thinking an ddoing more than what Ive been taught all these years. After only a few days of eating more and meaning it - i…

Awesome post. I've been trying to eat clean ad em2wl ....must say most days eating more is much ezr than eating entirely clean. One q.... What are "stickies" and where do I find them

ID heard of it for years, but didnt know THIS was the spelling till probably last summer. It was most impressive bc of the high potein but 'carby' FEELING of it all... i make it like rice.. I add various things sometimes diced sturdy veggies like zucchini peppers, carrots. Ive even added cilantro and coconut milk.. YUMMO !…
