I'm 5'3" SW - 215 CW - 159 GW - 130

If I am out and about and need a healthier meal - I get the Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken at McDonalds. I think it is about 330 calories without the dressing. Most fast food places have really good salads these days. I actually don't want the burger and fries anymore!! Subway also has some good choices if you are…

I picked up running, well it is more of a slow jog(!) and used the Couch to 5K program to get me going. I've never been a runner and hoped the program would at least get me to run a mile - never dreamed I could run 3. I started in October at about 191 pounds. It took me a long time on the program - which is technically a…

I've been married to my handsome bald man for 24 years - and yes he was bald when we met!! He says God made a few perfect heads, and the rest he covered with hair!

I am 5' 3" and started at 215 - am down to 162. I hope to get in the 130 range by this fall.

I have never - ever - been a runner and I cautiously started C25K last October. Yikes - that first time to run for 30 seconds just about killed me. But I was determined to keep at it, knowing I would repeat weeks many times. Well - I am happy to report that a few weeks ago I was able to actually run for 3 miles straight…

I held off as long as I could, but at about 30 lbs down I finally had to get some new jeans and a couple of shirts. And I am so glad I did - I got the least expensive (walmart) because I was still in the losing phase. But it made me feel so much better to have clothes that fit . I felt that I looked better and that kept…

I use it on turkey burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches. Spread it on a tortilla - add some grilled chicken and other veggies - top with another tortilla, lightly grill it and you have a low cal quesqadillo.

I was 28 when I met him, he was 42. We married 2 years later after a 6 month engagement. We will celebrate our 24th anniversary this year.

I love mine and my husband liked it so much he got the man's version!

She is definately jealous of your weight loss. My husband and I are both losing weight - I have much more to go than he - and when he would tell me how much he lost that week I would get so bummed because he would lose 2 to 3 times more than me. It got to the point where he did not want to tell me how much he lost. I then…

Congratulations on such an accomplishment! You look FABULOUS!!!

I could have written this post several months ago. I was following the C25K program but could not increase the duration of my jogs. I took a little break and did interval sprints on the treadmill - 30 seconds at the highest speed I could handle, then 90 seconds at a fast walk. I did this for 20 minutes, then I did 20…

I too love the microwave steam bags of veggies - from birds eye or your grocer should have their store brand name. You find them in the frozen foods veggie section. With that you can pair it up with grilled chicken (you can find cooked grilled chicken breasts in Sam's club), or turkey burgers, or if you like salmon steaks.…

Sounds like your ex needs to pick up the pace a bit - like picking up the kid more than 2 nights a week. Sorry you are going thru this!!!!!!

I took a look at your last several days of food and I agree with the others - you are not eating enough. I'd at least try for 1200 - 1300 calories. And you really need to up your water to 8 glasses a day - every single day. More if you eat high sodium foods.

I'm 54 and have lost 40 pounds (20 since being on MFP) and yes you CAN do it!! Feel free to add me as a friend!

I certainly hope you do not give up. What ever your weigh goal is, it will take a tremendous effort on your part to get there - and it is not just for the "diet" time - you want to develop habits and a lifestyle you can live with forever. Please trust me on this - it is so much harder the older you get. You have such a…

I've always heard that you should allow your muscles to recover before working it again. That being said, I was taking a body pump class some years ago 3 times a week and the first two weeks my body was aching the entire time. I did not have the arm issues you are experiencing and that would be a concern for me.

feel free to add me too!!

Sorry but it is not his fault that you have gained weight. So what that he has brought these foods home? My husband is having tortilla chips and salsa right now 5 feet away from me. I can actually smell the salt on them! I LOVE chips. However I have made the choice not to have them and will have some other snack and some…

I average about a pound a week. Sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. The first week I started I lost 3 pounds - never saw another loss like that since.

I've experienced the same thing and always use the lower number.

I am doing Jenny Craig and MFP and will tell people about both. Some people can't afford Jenny or the other weight loss programs.

Any of the Cirque shows are good - tho they are a bit expensive. I love the Ranch (a steak restaurant) in Harrahs.

I'm with the other poster who says why eat oatmeal if you don't like it! I hate fish - in fact I had any type of seafood. I will not touch it. I find other healthy things to eat instead.

Water - you need to drink a lot of water - 8 glasses or more. You are probably taking in more sodium than you think.
