WOO HOO!!!!!!!!! That is AWESOME! Next time you're in the gym, pick up that 20 pound weight and feel how much you're missing. Good for you! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

I do know how you feel though. My trainer appointments are positively grueling. Even though they are only 30 minutes, I am drenched and practically crippled when I finish and I only burn 186. Don't let that discourage you though....You are doing great and your burned calories are NOTHING to belittle.....that's quite a bit.

I've never seen Trader Joes anything.....???? Do you get this at the regular market?

LOL!!!! Too bad there isn't a tan colored food that will deliver the same results!

LOL...my whole family just ate my box. I'm so glad you gave them a try.

I didn't just wake up one day and say, "gosh, I think I'll run 9 miles..." Believe me, it was a LOT of huffing, puffing and near misses to passing out or puking. 1 mile is something you should be very, VERY proud of. Not many people are even able to walk a mile....that's awesome! Keep us posted on how you're doing, okay?

Thanks so much! I'll bet the Cheerios helped!!! :wink:

It has finally paid off! 14 pounds today (and almost 6 inches)....I'm down to a size 3 pants, I'm up to 9 miles of running a day, my trainer has drastically increased my weights, I have tons of energy, my stress level is practically at zero and I just busted through a horrifying 3 week plateau! YIPEEEEEE! PLEASE....share…

I just bought a box of the new Banana Nut Cheerios (100 calories per 3/4 cup without milk, 1 g. fat, 0 cholesterol, 160 mg. sodium, 70 mg. potassium)...it's in our food bank....I bought it to munch on at work because my skin is starting to turn orange from all my carrots - IT IS SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD! I highly recommend! Just…

OMG! Yes...my butt is killing me - I had to get a soft little pillow to sit on at work. I was told it's from losing previously relied upon cushion. I am also freezing all the time and cannot find dress pants in my size unless I want to pay way too much or go to a thrift store. Found that out this weekend (but, on a lighter…

Molly K - THAT IS PERFECT!!! Seriously..offer him rice cakes...

Did you set your present weight? That can throw it off...

y'all hit the nail right on the head... You forgot it's not a spigot, it's a faucet and it's not a pond, it's a tank...lol Great post! God blessed Texas.

I've been known to gain anywhere from 8 to 13 pounds...my friends all thought I was full of it, until I showed them my weight (logged on a computerized thingie called virginhealthmiles.com)... Now I just try to stay away from the scale one week before and the week during. :flowerforyou:

Love my Polar F6 too! :happy:

I'm so sorry for what you had to endure. I am fortunate that you decided to stick it out. Your posts are informative and helpful. :flowerforyou:

Please don't go....:flowerforyou:

Someone posted a great blurb about eating the extra calories....I think it was called "why you may be gaining weight by eating your exercise calories.." You know, maybe try going to the 1200????

CONGRATS! It's funny isn't it...I had my doubts at first too. Good for you! :drinker:

great reference Bonniejo! Thanks!

Your diet looks pretty good...I'm not sure if this is the case, but I would like to make a suggestion or two. First, even if you are staying within your sodium range, perhaps cut back a little and increase your water. If it is water retention, you should be able to tell a difference immediately. I've been known to gain and…

Quite frankly, I was going to quit posting because of him. But then I remembered that the good people in MFP greatly outweigh the one bad apple.

Hello and welcome! :flowerforyou:

That is awesome!!!! You should get a ribbon (a BLUE ribbon) and cut it the length of the inches you have lost... Great job!
