For sure! I've been in it for 25 years come this May! I love being with my husband...he's my best friend! He loves and gives and does so much for me and I for him! It definitely takes team work, respect and humility! But when you both have each other's best interest at heart, it makes life so much better! Don't give up!…

Not every day is going to be perfect...because we aren't perfect! And that's ok! We just start out fresh with a clean slate and get at 'er! If you still have time today, you could still burn some of that off! If not, dig in tomorrow! We've all been there...and we'll all get past it! Stay positive and look to your goal!…

As above....it depends on your body! Either way...you'll still be healthier! Keep headed for that goal! :D

Right now: Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul 2; and To the Rescue - Biography of Thomas S Monson. Congratulations on you eReader! I'm looking at getting some sort, too! :D

Wow! Fantastic results! You're doing a great job! Keep it up! Isn't it nice feeling your waist get smaller?! Congratulations!

Oooooo...lots of exciting things happening in your life! The best of which is you taking charge of your life and making changes for a healthier lifestyle! As said above, men aren't always the best at providing support in all we do. So, make sure you have a firm grip on your reasons for taking this journey to better health…

There's your true spirit trying to push through any of the tough stuff you've faced up till now!....still reminding you that you are strong and wise and of such worth to your family and the world! Try to remember that feeling...write it down....describe it....and come back to it often! Let the real you surface and direct…

Congratulations! That is fantastic! Huge time drop! Wishing you many more good runs in the future and you'll probably keep besting yourself! Good job! :D ... Judy :D

so wonderul! beyond a great job! congratulations! best you on your new journey! :D <3

Congratulations on taking this journey to better health! You're doing great! ....Gues what I discovered - I can put veggies in smoothies! I was so surprised. But when you mix them in with your fruit and everything else, you can't even taste them! Also, adding as much flavor as possible to them. I've started using cilantro…

Congratulations! Awesome job! You can see the change that's happened inside you! You have done a great work. I know your heart and drive will take you the rest of the way! Thank you for your incredible example of strength and commitment! Happy days to you on your fantastic journey to better health and a better life!

One of the best discoveries you could have made! Welcome! I love this site. It gives you such a simple clear picture of what's going on inside your body. I've lost 45 lbs so far and credit it to mfp's direction and all the WONDERFUL support I've gotten from friends here! Good luck on your new journey. There are lots of us…

I hear ya! But congratulations on your hard work and success! You did it! You have so much to be proud of! Keep it up! :D

As said above, just try not to go too crazily overboard with what you eat. The workout running on the sand will be fantastic! Even walking will do wonders! Just keep logging and tracking to get a general idea of your numbers, but when you get back to your awesome routine, any gain will be gone in no time! Have fun and safe…

Good for you for joining mfp and for working out at home! You can do amazing things at home and have fantastic results! I agree, there are so many excellent dvd's and so much info online to help you get going. I've used several of Jillian Michael's dvd's and have lost 45 lbs and 8" off my waist! Just do some research, read…

That's an awesome idea! Thanks for passing it on! Keep up the good work! :D

I'm glad you ordered the 30 Day Shred! I've done that program and had fantastic results and have continued on to Jillian's Extreme Shed and Shred, No More Trouble Zones, and Banishing Fat and Boosting Metabolism! I love them just as much and rotate through them every 3 days. I've lost 45 lbs and lots of inches - from a 40"…

I love this idea! I'll have to try it...and I know my hubby won't mind being a guinea pig either! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day! :D...Judy

love it! you go! :D

I'm definitely not an expert, but I've upped my fruits a lot...moreso than my veggies and I've lost over 40 lbs over the last 6 mos. I believe in the basic calories burned must be more than calories in! Like suggested earlier, try it and see how your body reacts. Good luck and keep on the path! :D .....Judy

That is a great NSV! Great job making that change and staying committed....look at your success so far! Keep it up, girl! :D ...Judy

Ooooh, that looks so good! Thank you for sharing this! I will definitely try it. Still LOVE my chocolate! :D

thank you for the recipe! my hubby LOVES pumpkin pie...and is trying to lose weight, too! gotta try this! :D

Fantastic! Congratulations on your success! How much you've changed! You have stayed dedicated for a whole year and what awesome results! Thank you for sharing your journey! You looked oh so beautiful at the start and even more so now! Great job! :D ... Judy

I've been weighing in and measuring once a month! It's just less stressful for me that way! :D

Absolutely! Thank you for the post. This is such an important subject. I understand completely. Having grown up in a highly abusive environment, I have done everything I can to stop the horrible cycle in my family! It can be done! But you're right...it has to be taught, discussed and changed! We can do that! We can't be…

For me, the love came when I could actually FEEL the difference in my body! I knew the workouts were working! I'd be doing something like driving along and contract my stomach muscles and I could feel them holding me! It just made me feel good about me and how I was changing! That's what makes me love it! I feel in control…

I'm definitely no expert either, but from all I've read and heard it always comes back to the same: eat less than you burn - no matter when you eat it in a day. Just make sure you're burning more calories than you take in! Hope this helps!

we'll celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary this year!...and he's still my BEST friend! :D

And that's why I'm a millionaire today!
