Big difference! Nice work!

Fruit and vegetables. Grab an apple, banana, celery, peanut butter, flat bread. make a peanut butter and banana flatbread sandwich have an apple and celery too. Or if you want some dairy have a cheese stick. Easy, quick and not terrible for you.

I agree! You are very brave! For sharing and especially for making a change! Keep at it! One day at a time!

Nice work, Izzy!! That is awesome!

Thank you everyone. I mistyped when I said I'd like to be done by June. That is when I'd like to really start seeing the difference. I appreciate the input! @psulemon Thanks for the advice. This all makes sense to me. It is helpful when you have actually worked with someone in a similar position. I don't plan on being as…

NET. You want to ALWAYS meet the 1500 NET calorie amount. You could be causing damage to your body if you only eat 1500 gross calories and work out enough to burn even 200 calories each day.

Nice work! You look fabulous!

My daughter said this weekend if I keep losing I'll be able to fit into her clothes! *which won't happen but wow! What a complement! (13 year old who is 3 inches taller than me!)

WOW!!! Nice work!

Running store or if you don't have one near there is a guide on Runner's World website. That is what I did my second half marathon! It really did helped me. I was using Nike's and switched to Mizuno's. My knees were happy campers after that! Good luck on your half! I love that distance! It will always be my favorite!

I agree!! I love your collage! Awesome job!

Check out Runner's World. They have a lot of articles on what to do to increase speed. I like them on Facebook and get a lot of good ideas.

Nice Work!

WOW! you look fabulous!

I have been in your shoes 4 times. Gained baby weight and lost it then gained it back with the next one. I remember after my 2nd sitting in a changing room crying because nothing looked nice and the size was much bigger than I ever would have thought I was. Between my 3rd and 4th I joined MFP. I helped me get to the…

My mom told me I need new pants because the ones I am wearing now are too big. But I can't bring myself to buy any because I know I have more to lose. I might have to go to a seamstress and get 3-4 pairs altered. That is much cheaper than buying new.

@LEBP14 I think that there is something to your 1.6 lbs loss. With such a large loss last week your body is adjusting. I would guess that next week you will see a bigger number. @catereed13 I am so sorry for your loss! It is hard enough to lose someone close but to be the one to find him! I am sure you are struggling with…

Week 5 - I finally bought a new scale for at home. I have been using the one at work and knew it was off but I wasn't sure how much. Adjusting numbers this week.

You look fabulous! You are an inspiration!

I haven't ever dealt with your situation...but you look great! Good WORK!!!

Nice Work!!

Great job!

Week 4 was successful! Accountability is helping my loss! Thank you for starting this!!!

Even though your face is covered in the second it looks like your face is showing the 18# loss as well. Cheers to you! :smiley: I am working on my arm flab too!

If you are questioning if you should quit maybe you aren't where you want to be. I would look at lifting. That is the road I am taking...lose the weight and then start lifting to get to where I want to be. Once I meet my weight goal and where I am more comfortable I want to start to lift heavy. I should be doing it now but…

Congratulations! I know what it is like to have kids! Way to stick with it!
