Check out the book New Rules of Lifting for Women. Very insightful and full of helpful workouts and info. I strongly recommend it.

@kamamakai what a beautiful hometown!! I would constantly be taking pictures. Thanks for all the photos everyone! They are so inspiring to get out there and see it for myself. My husband and I are going to do a long weekend of primitive camping in a couple weeks. My mother-in-law is also section-hiking the Appalachian…

CONGRATULATIONS!!! What an amazing accomplishment. Looks like you got some guns on you ;) Don't ever be ashamed or embarrassed at the number on the scale. You are a HUGE success!!

Thank you all for your advice! Guess I need to make an appointment with an ortho doc and maybe a PT. Didn't think the pain was that big of deal, but I guess so! In the meantime, I am definitely sticking to low impact exercise. Might be time to try out water aerobics!

HOLLA!!! Depression, anxiety, & PTSD...did I win something?

Hi, everyone! I know I'm late to the game, but can I still join? I have a pretty sedentary job...well, I'm starting to wonder if the job is sedentary or if I make it sedentary. Anyway, it's hard for me to get 5,000 steps in a day at work. This is the first week in about 5 years that I'm making my health my first priority.…

I'm w/ you, Grace. I first started MFP in 2009/2010...didn't stick. So now I'm back and MFP isn't the only tool I'm using to practice good self-care and make my health and well-being my top priority. It's a learning process so I know it's not going to be perfect and I'm going to "screw up", but I'm not giving up. I can't…

I love all of these!! I'm just starting my 135lb goal so hopefully in a couple months I'll be sharing progress photos. Thanks for sharing your progress! It's incredibly motivating!

Hi everyone! Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Sarah and I've been off the wagon for the last year or so due to a personal tragedy in my life. I'm now ready to start taking baby steps to get back to where I was before last October and thought this was a great way to keep myself consistent and accountable. Looking…

Bump for later!

This. For sure!

I just read one of the most amazing books. It's called Moloka'i by Alan Brennert. It's about a 7 year old Hawaiian girl in the 1890s who is diagnosed with leprosy and exiled to a separate island away from her family, friends, life in Honolulu. I HIGHLY recommend it. I LOVED it. It will definitely be a book I return to read…

Wow! That IS amazing! Pizza is a big weakness of mine too, let alone a buffet!!! :noway: Congratulations! Now that you've done it once (and it seems to me like it was relatively easy for you), just use this experience in the future when you are struggling. You've proven you can do! Great job!!!!

1/8th of a mile is a LONG distance for me as well! Wonderful accomplishment! Congratulations! Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Completely normal, Teresa. I was terrified to do it because I thought it would undo everything I had worked for and I was afraid I would revert to that life again. What do you do? You make it a point to guzzle water that day and the day after, you stick to the limits you set for yourself, you come back the next day (the…

Haha! That's awesome! Congratulations!!!! That's a big accomplishment!!!!!!!
-
You've done amazingly well!!!! Congratulations!!!!

I'd like to give you some kind advice, as this is a phrase I've heard many, many times in my grief. If you don't think what you're going to say will have a positive impact, it's best to keep it private. I do understand that what makes your body healthy will make your mind healthy and all these facets compose health as a…

I hate this part. Sometimes I just scream and cry and I'm like "I just want him back! How is that so unreasonable?!" lol But, we don't have much choice. So the balance I search for, the balance I will achieve.

Bump!

LOL @ great looking butt! That's about the only thing on me I like. And major, MAJOR kudos and congrats to you, Cory! That is an amazing accomplishment. I have watched you work so hard to get to where you are now and you deserve every bit of pride and accomplishment you can muster. AWESOME, AWESOME! You are my hero. And…

Jen Lancaster is hysterical! All but one of her books is a memoir (novel = If You Were Here, not that great IMO), but her memoirs are fabulous. My favorite is "Such a Pretty Fat".

My friend who's a personal trainer always says "Abs are made in the kitchen." Watch what you eat: LOTS of veggies, low carb, low sugars (which means little fruit), lots of protein. Hope this helps a little.

YES, YES, YES I CAN!!!!!!!!!! I will be having foot surgery on October 11 and will be bedridden for 2 weeks following. I'm trying to stock up on pantry items and pre-cook some casseroles, chili, soup, lasagna, etc. so my husband doesn't rely solely on fast food and pizza to sustain me. I will especially be focusing on…
