I almost did! and it isnt like it was close by, she had to get up early and drive to seattle about a 35 , 40 min drive from where she lives. Too Sweet! she runs, so she knows what its like to have someone there, She asked me last week if my family will be there, and they couldnt cause my little guy had a baseball game, so…

SHUT UP!! I totally DID!! lol Thank you :) one of my friends who is a fitness instructor at the gym was there at the finish line with flowers, SUCH A NICE surprise! Love her!

The time is going to go by anyway, so why not have it go by knowing your doing what is right for your body? who cares how fast it comes off, your getting healthy and fit all at the same time! I have been doing this since DEC 29th 2008. Count every calorie in and out ,workout 5 times a week for up to 2 hours a day, do I…

I drink one or two a day, morning snack and mid workout ( after weights before Cardio) MY son get me my protein powder for a discount so I dont mind buying it and drinking it.

You look Amazing!! Love the photo thing too!

Yeah!! What an awesome job! You must be feeling amazing!

Awesome job!! Yeah for mini goals!! They keep ya going!

I updated my blog with the answer to the question about social impact with friends and my spouse. http://finallyfitatforty.blogspot.com/2010/05/any-social-impacts-youd-care-to-share.html ok, I am off to Answer Erica's email, then going to bed! thanks everyone for all the awesome comments! Tami

YES! in fact I Am going to blog about that tonight, so be sure to check out my blog this week . :)

starting weight was 330, I think my goal will be 145, I have 140 on my ticker, but I am at 164 now, and I think anything more than 19 pounds may be too low for my body, so I am going with the 145.

omgosh, I dont mind saying at all. my skin has not adjusted to the weight , not at all. my arms bother me the most, cause that is what people see. I would SERIOUSLY do the surgery in a heartbeat if I had the money, it is not something that my husband thinks we need to spend that kind of money on, even if we did have it (…

I got it at TJMAXX, I love it, I got one in Black too! :) thank you :flowerforyou:

aww Angie, your so sweet! I love ya!! thank you. it means so much to be able to be that person for you!! :)

MFP changed my life!! I could not have lost the weight without it! I sing its praises everyday!! ( Still waiting for MIKE to put me up on the home page as an MFP Success Story!) Tami

WHENEVER YOU CAN!!! that is the answer. I dont know about all this morning crap, I workout at night , and have since I started working out, and it has worked for me :)

AWESOME job!! its a huge deal. What was your time?

mine is a lie. I have logged in every day since JAN 2009. I think it likes to mess with me:huh:

omg do it!! I did it last summer when I weighed over 200 pounds ( well over) I am running a 10k on the 22nd ! It is soo good, you can repeat whatever you want to, I say do it!! and best of luck!

I bring all my food with me to work, and I dont eat anything that I didnt bring with me. I log all my food in the AM before I leave. I log back on after the gym , before I eat, to see how much I can eat, :bigsmile: depending on my workout. Then I try to check the MB and the newsfeed, and answer emails from the site. I…

well I did 55 mins on the stairmaster yesterday and 45 today. MFP had it much higher than what my HRM said. MFP said 623 calories for 55 mins, my HRM said it was only 452. The machine at the gym had it in between . That is a HUGE difference if you are eating all the calories back. just saying.

sometimes you "think" someone has lost weight, but dont know that they are trying ,and dont want to offend them, cause what if they didnt ? so you could be there, and people dont know what to say just yet. keep going, you will get lots of compliments soon!

you can google it, I am not sure what it is for a male , it also goes by age. and then it breaks it down for you. Best time to take it is 10 mins after you wake up but are still in bed. I am proud to say that mine is 58!

Great Job!! that is pretty awesome!

you are correct sir. :) it use to be right on for me, really close to what my HRM says. But the lower I get, the less accurate it is. I always go by my HRM, but sometimes I see what people are logging from MFP, and I can only hope that they are not eating all those back, just in case it is too high .

I chatted with them about it, and showed them my before pic. it was interesting to talk to them, most of the guys on the early seasons I think gained weight back, cause there wasnt any follow up and teaching with them, not like it is now with the contestants. they were done with the show, then that was it. they are doing…

they have two little ones, the youngest looked to be under two, they are the cutest little boys , look just like suzy with the blond hair.

yep, ODD. I only count something if I work up a good sweat, and am breathing hard, THAT is a workout. the other stuff, no, not at all.

the live local, and Matt had posted on Facebook if anyone wants to join them for a workout to let him know, So I did! Turns out that the Trainer, Ali, use to train my friend Jenn ( who was with us ) and work at my gym before he went to the Gym with Matt and Suzy. Ali kicked our butt!
