IceFaith

Somewhere between 180 and 150.

I have a pair of Levi's that are a someday clothing item...I also have a green shirt that I want to fit into someday. Another 15 lbs or so and I'll be in them I think.

I agree w/ the above. I don't care for the taste of couscous and I love pasta. I do love quinoa though. I cook it in chicken stock most of the time.

I've been here for a lil over a year. I've lost about 45 lbs. I took a break over the spring cuz life just got crazy. I gained back about 5 lbs or so and started back again. I'd like to loose another 20-25 lbs. Feel free to add me if you wish :)

I understand where you are coming from. I would only say to keep a level head about everything. Don't become so obsessed about weight loss and your diet that you can't enjoy holidays or special occasions with family and friends. I've tried to approach this as a complete lifestyle change.

I don't live too far from Branson.

I was diagnosed as Pre-D last year. I cut out alot of sweets, pasta, potatoes, breads and rice. All things that I dearly love...lol I try to stay between 60-100 carbs a day. I even balance in some chocolage because I love it so much. It isn't easy, but it is possible to do. It is quite an adjustment. I found myself not…

I remember when I was able to wrap a towel too! It was such a great feeling. I had a friend of mine staying over for the night and I wanted to weigh the next morning. The only place to weigh w/ a hard surface is in the laundry room which is right across the hall from the spare bedroom. I thought, oh, Crap! Maybe she won't…

I do some low carbing. Not everyday but much lower than what mfp sets my carbs to be. I like to be around 60 carbs a day but I don't always come in at that. I'm careful about where the carbs come from that I do eat, pasta, potatoes, breads...I don't eat much of at all. I had stalled for a month and finally cut down the…

Congrats on your weight loss and on staying w/ it for the long term!

I'm sorry about the problems w/ your heel but if you can use a recumbant bike you might try and find one online at the classifieds. I saw one in my area yesterday, I think it was. You might be able to get one pretty reasonable. You could also check out the used sports equipment places in your area as well.

Congrats on your progress! Exercise does help my mood too. Sometimes that makes it easier to exercise but not always...lol Take plenty of time for yourself. Relax and find out who you are as a single person. Enjoy doing things that You wanna do. I'm divorced but I was never married for as long as you were but it is a…

I have reduced my carbs by quite a bit but I'm also keeping an eye on my glucose levels because of Pre Diabetes. I usually stay between 60-120 carbs a day. I did notice that before I reduced my carbs I had stopped loosing weight. I was staying under my calorie goal 90% of the time and exercising. So I reduced the carbs and…

I don't know about them folding but when I bought mine I got it at a used sports equipment place. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on something I wasn't sure that I would keep using. I got mine at a pretty good price. When I wear it out, I'm going to get one that is a little bit better.

....................................SW........... Goal..........wk 1......... wk 2......... wk 3 IceFaith......................211.8.........199 .........210.6.........212..........209.2 2.8 lbs this week!

160 sticks of butter

I think I'm going to do a massage now that I'm just a bit past 1/2 way. The reward for all the weight loss will be feeling comfortable having my picture taken. I have Hated having my photo taken because I felt like I looked so terrible. I want to get some nice sets of matching bra's and panties. I want a corest as well.…

Chocolate milk, fried potatoes and onions, cheesecake, the brownies and ice cream already mentioned...uhhh yum, warm from the oven chocolate chip cookies w/ a big ole glass of milk, and yeast dinner rolls w/ honey butter. I can say that none of these are in my house at the moment except vanilla ice cream...LOL oh and milk.

Interesting post. I'm not a vegetarian but I will keep track of this. For your next meat consumption you might consider eating fish, chicken or turkey. Those might be lighter in flavor and easier on your system since it isn't accustomed to meat anymore. Good luck :)

Wanted to see if I could post a pic of my girl...Sunny.

I have a 13 yr old Paint mare. She is a sorrel w/ a few spots on her belly and a blaze face. She is a bit tempermental and fits along w/ me very well...lol She is one of the reasons why I wanted to get started on my weight loss journey. I just pleasure ride and *gather* cattle..My gathering on horseback is much like…

I have been going through things like mad around here. I don't know how much trash I've thrown out. I have one spare room dedicated to garage sale stuff and then another area for donations. I had a goal of getting the basement cleared out before I started classes again and I almost made it. Had some complications at the…

Blah dunno what's going on but I gained this time! Been under my cals everyday and been exercising. Not even near pms time either...so I'm gonna blame it on sodium!

Thanks so much for taking the time to add it all up! That is amazing!

I had a thought and wondered what y'all would think about it. I thought it would be neat to be able to see the Total weight loss of everyone combined. Even if we don't all reach our goals...I think it would be encouraging to see what all of us have accomplished together. What do y'all think?

My current update, started 211.8 down to 210.6...1.2 lbs gone :)

Mine was in May 2010. I had went to the dr for a routine visit and weighed 250 lbs. I had to work to stay focused during the rest of the visit because I was blown away by that number. I had been feeling terrible. I didn't have any energy. I felt ill most of the time. I had a new bf that is quite active and I couldn't keep…

I've been thinking on this too I'm wearing a size 14 now and I weigh more than I did the last time I wore a 14. But the 14 sure does make me feel better...lol

Great job! I do love that dress too...very pretty

Ok, I'm in! Starting weight of 211.8 I want to be under 200 lbs by Valentine's. So about 12 lbs to loose in 6 wks.
