Thanks all! I appreciate the support and encouragement. It is amazing what death can do to the people who survive despite knowing that they would all be kickin my butt for not making my health a priority. One day at a time, and yes even one minute of time - I can do this....again!

I use it to make a simplified Jack Straw hot dish. VERY EASY and yummy and my kid loves it Can of chicken Can of chicken a la king can of corn - drained shoe string potatoes - about a cup or so (these are the chips - not really potatoes) Heat everything minus the shoe string potatoes in a pan until hot. Once hot, add the…

I love Gideon better than Christian!! New book - Entwined in you to come out next week and I have already pre-ordered it. Gideon Cross all the way!

Thanks so far everyone. I play softball a couple hours a week and try to get in some walks here and there but nothing is set - not like I take an hour walk every night or anything

I added a new activity - C2K - Week X - whatever week I was on and then work a Heart Rate Monitor and when the workout was over I added it all in MFP so I had an accurate count. Good luck. That program is amazing how it works!

Ok. I did search road map and did read it. Thanks

Thanks. I did this. My TDEE is 2519. I have read on the forums that you should eat 20% less calories than your TDEE. Is this correct? If so, then I would be eating 2015 calories a day. Seems WAY too high as I currently eating just under 1600. Thoughts on this one? Oh and if it helps I did my BMR which is 1832 - or maybe I…

I love this thread for so many reasons - here are two of them: Big guys. 6'3 and up. Best thread ever! :-)

Thanks everyone. Great input and I appreciate it!

Not a dumb answer at all. I will give it a try. They don't appear to be tight BUT I will tie them loser on Sunday and see what happens. Thank you!

Interesting...will have to try almond milk!

Body Fortress - Whey Protein - Chocolate Peanut butter - YUMMY. Oh and blend it with Light Vanilla Silk - mmm mmm mmm

I like vanilla soy milk - light. (Silk). It has less sugar than skim milk and it also keeps longer in the fridge then regular milk. I also like the Silk Chocolate light - soy milk. Very tasty.

You can do this!! I have walked two 5K's and an 8K and am now doing Couch to 5K to run one. I would say just get out an walk on a regular basis and you will be fine. Have fun and celebrate your accomplishment. It is a BIG deal :-) Congrats

I am sitting in my office and my legs are hurting. I played a volleyball match last night (and I was a beast of course) and then finished week 5 of Couch to 5K. I am super proud of myself for sticking to it. It is amazing when you think you can't do something and while you are doing it you just keep saying - I CAN DO THIS.…

Debatable :noway:

Here was the inspiration that kick started my journey...simply amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX9FSZJu448

I was a hockey player when girls couldnt play hockey so I was born to early. I played at the parks with all the boys but my dad (who was the boys high school coach) would not let me play organized hockey. I enjoyed watching my brother play in high school. He was drafted by the Edmonton Oilers back when Gretzsky was there.…

I am at 71 lbs and it took me 12 months - not trying to rush this since it is a huge lifestyle change

AWESOME!! Congrats! I totally can relate to the clothes thing. I am down 73 lbs and I dont really see a difference but I know others do. Crazy how our mind can mess with us like that! Keep up the great work!

Move forward. NEVER go back...there is a reason he is an ex - and you need to remember EVERY single reason he gave you to be done with him. He hasnt changed - he is just nice now but remember you saw his true self and that is who he is. RUN AWAY and do it quickly. You are sticking around because it is comfortable - but ask…

@trhjrh06 - sorry you popped in as I was responding to the bluescat1 - I would say very loving!

@Bluescat1 - definitely looks like a guitar player!

I delete people if they go missing for over a week or if they are not active on MFP. I figure we are all here for the same reason and if my "friends" arent supportive, then they dont need to be my friend so they get deleted

I am in!! CW - 254.6 GW - 234.6

Minnesota here - about 20 minutes south of St Paul!

I lost 4.2 lbs this week and hit 60.2 lbs lost. WOO HOO. So happy for myself :-) and for all of you who lost as well!

BrettPGH - entire back. OH MY!

ilovemybuggy - Great smile girl!

Welcome to MFP. I think you will find a lot of support here. Feel free to add me if you want. In order for me to NOT be considered obese, I have to lose a total of 168 lbs! YIKES but I am well on my way down about 60 lbs. Good luck to you - you are in the right place!
