Thank you for your words of encouragement. It has been 10 years for me to of saying I will start tomorrow. I have started and lost weight built muscle and then quit. I joined mfp in 2011 and really haven't changed much. I lose weight. I exercise. I run a race. I quit. I exercise, lose weight and quit. I can't seem to get…

What a wonderful gift to give to your kids and wife. I too am a start tomorrow person. I am a binge exerciser. I exercise to prepare for a race and then I stop and when I stop- I blow up like a balloon- my husband used to say- it is like someone has pulled the ripcord and you just expand. So, what did you do for your baby…

Well said.

Amazing!!!! I too get really tired after I eat. That is one of my pet peeves of my soon to be ex-husband. I was always tired- usually it hit me around 3-4 p.m. and I would have to go and have a nap. Sometimes sleeping for 2 hours (no supper made- another pet peeve of my soon to be ex) I always get tired around late…

look up the website : www.leanbodiesconsulting.com - they may have a few answers for you. Our bodies are all different. You might be doing too much cardio- I don't know how long you do cardio for, but that could be a reason. I try not to eat back my calories. You should be having a protein, carb and healthy fat with every…

When I travel for long periods of time like sitting in the car for 30 plus hours on a trip to Arizona. My ankles swell up so much. It takes about a week for me to get rid of the water. What I have been doing and it works. I add lemon essential oil to my water You have to make sure you get the ones that you can ingest. Give…

I like dill, so I take a thick greek yogurt and add some dill to it. It is tasty. You can also add other spices to it too. That is for a creamier dressing. I also have used apple cider vinegar with some lime juice, salt and pepper. Red wine vinegar with some puree'd strawberries is really good too- especially if you put…

Way to go!

I just saw your age and because you only have 7 lbs. to lose it looks like you have figured it out. I am a slow learner. I kept hoping that after each child I would go back to pre-baby weight. Well after 5 children I think I gave up. Now my baby is 12 I think I am finally ready to make the change. Once again - find what…

Once you find what you enjoy it will make it easier. I myself love walking/running. It gets me outdoors and clears my head. I slow down in the winter,because of the ice. Strength training is important too. Also is what you are eating. They say it is 80% diet and 20% exercise. Once you find what works with you stick with…

I'm at 194 - and I can feel it in my knees. I have been doing jumping jacks. There is a youtube 20 min. video on jumping jacks, so I just put that on and away I go. I think that would be good too. I am working my way up to twice a day doing them 3-4 days a week. Once the ice and snow are gone I will get back to walking-…

46 here. I have been a weight bouncer with ups and downs. I need to remember that this is a lifestyle change. I am working towards a 40-50 lb loss. Please add me. I need a jump start. Tiffany

Brian, Brian, Brian........... Wow!!! What a wonderful story of determination. Love for your friend Jackie. Love for life...This is such an amazing story. I absolutely love it. I could read it over and over. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. We are all teachers and studentsthis is absolutely and teaching…

I guess my staples would be whole grains. I eat a very hearty breakfast which consists of whole grains, seeds, nuts and fruit. For lunch I usually have a sandwich and dinner I really try for veggies and grains.

I think it just depends on when people want to stop eating. Eating for hunger- eating for boredom- eating just to eat. I myself have to set a time to stop eating - if I don't I find I eat just to eat. I sit in front of the t.v. and eat. I play games with the kids and feel I need to eat. I sit and read a book and feel the…

bump- just to read some of the answers.

Eagles and 80's music!

Don't do the surgery. I have a nurse friend who has seen many botched bladder surgeries . Kagels work you just have to do them lots and really squeeze and hold. Exercise will help. I have had 5 children with very large heads, so I know where you are coming from. I am actually seeing a physical therapist next month who many…

I do my best to log in every day. I do my best to make it to the gym Monday- Friday. I do weights/cardio. I am also trying to get back into running. I ran a marathon last October and haven't really done anything since then. My body was pretty beat up after that. I am 45- mother of 4 teenagers and 12 yr. old. I am a stay at…

80's music

SW: 200 CW: 187 G/W: (for August) = 182 I'm in...I need all the motivation I can get. I have made mini goals, but nothing has panned out yet. I am behind schedule. My big goal is to get to 160 lbs. by October 31st! This will be my motivator! 8/1 8/8 8/15 8/22 8/29

Amazing- you look amazing. Your goals that you set for yourself is why you succeeded. Just think on how much more money you will save when you kick the smoking habit. My heart goes out to you on that one. Smoking is the hardest addiction to kick, so stick with your goal and once you have been smoke free you will enjoy new…

You need a Canadian amongst your friends list- feel free to add me.

amazing!

I use Whey Protein Isolate- and that is the only ingredient. I love it. I looked on line and NOW has whey protein isolate too. I like the powders without all the added junk. Find one with as little ingredients as possible.

almonds are excellent, but just make sure you eat in moderation. Remember to eat a protein with each snack/meal. Hard boiled eggs are good, cheese and a piece of fruit, cottage cheese mixed with yogurt is really good. Almonds with a piece of fruit is good. I try to stay away from crackers and pretzels because they…

These sound amazing! I will test them out.

Wow, so many ideas. I might have to try each one to see what they are like. Here is my concoction. Steel cut oats, blueberries, maple syrup, greek yogurt, ground flaxseed. Concoction #2. Oatmeal, apples, cinnamon, flaxseed and maple syrup. Concoction #3. Oatmeal, cinnamon, brown sugar, cottage cheese, almond slivers.…

You might want to add some healthy fats into your food too. I usually try to have a protein, carb and healthy fat with each meal. Here are some healthy fat ideas that are high in fibre too. High-fiber good fats include: Almonds (1/4 cup) – 4 g Flaxseed (2 tablespoons) – 4 g Avocado (1 cup) – 10 g

Amazing! Quitting smoking was the best thing you could have done. Added bonus of exercise=healthy lifestyle.
