I am in the same vitamin D boat. My level is a whopping 9! Doc has m on 50k units once a week plus 1000 unit supplement a well as what is in my multi. She says she'll be happy if I get to 30 ( which is still considered deficient) . Is that lack of D why I m tired and achy?

I never thought I could be as determined as I am now. I never thought sliced cucumbers would sound/taste better than potato chips. I never thought I wouldn't drink diet Pepsi. I never thought I could walk 7.5 miles one day and then 5 miles the next day and then look forward to tomorrows walk. I never thought I could read…

Thanks for this....I was feeling the same way, tired of weighing and counting and same old "healthy" food, posting and tracking and your post made me realize I, like everyone else on this journey, am only human and bad days and funks will settle in but I can move them off and keep on keeping on because I am worth it. So…

Ugly? I don't see ugly, I see a healthy happy young man. Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment.

I can't wait to get into the overweight category too! 2 pounds to go! Congratulations to you...keep on going....you can do this!

I cook for a living so I must taste everything. I always try to eat under my calories to account for the tasting...and my tastes are just that....less than a teaspoon. I also love to cook but use hubby as the official household taster!

Yeah for you! Nothing feels as good as slipping on a pair of jeans that didn't fit. Congrats...keep it up!

Wow! You look great....and happy and proud. Keep focused! Thanks for the inspiration!

Day one is done. Fifty is fabulous and you will feel ever so much younger than that number as the weight comes off! Congrats on day one and on to day two...one day at a time!

Holy Toledo..what a difference...you look amazing...keep on keeping on!

Nicely done...quite an inspiration...love the 2 Christmas pics, such a difference! Wow

Lovely! Great symbolism and well done! Waiting on another 20 pound loss for my first tattoo.....it too is a reward!

Love it! Way to go!

What a lot you have accomplished! Your shirt in your profile pic says it all! Way to go!

Nicely done...you may not feel it but it can be seen! Keep on keeping' on!

Alarm goes off at 5:15 .... Work out clothes on.... Fill water bottle! Grab IPad and hit the elliptical for 40 minutes.... Into kitchen, make coffee.... Upstairs to shower.... Dress for work and downstairs by 6:40... Curl up in red chair with coffee and NY Times.... Into kitchen by 7 to make lunch to take to work...…

Way to go! You look amazing! Of course you can do this w/out the trainer!

Bump for later inspiration (and to avoid the snack attack)!

Wow! Fantastic job! Keep going!

Too funny!

I am .6 away from no longer being obese....I can't wait either. Congratulations to you.

Here's to EVERY part shrinking.....even feet! Way to go!

I turned fifty in September. I was fat and fifty. Really fat and really fifty. How the $@!?* did that happen? Then I realized I had postponed going to the doctor because I was embarrassed by my weight and did not want to hear her say Obese. What an idiot- fifty fat and fearful! So something clicked on December first. I am…

That moment when you ran up the stairs and back down and weren't huffing and puffing! That moment when not a single pair of jeans in the closet is too tight...most are too big!

Good for you!! Nothing better than the feeling of too big pants!

Okay...really ? Hayes...that's my maiden name....mom of 2 boys, 21 and 17.... Hmmmm

I love every fish except....Salmon! My newest find is Trader Joes soy ginger marinated wild cod....so yummy baked! Steamed broccoli and WHole Wheat pasta ....dinner tonight!

I know how you are feeling. We all have days where we want to chuck it all. I just keep telling myself that I can do anything for one more day. Just get through the day in front of me. Its the same with working out...I can do anything for 10 more minutes and then 10 more. When I feel myself getting out of hand or in the…

Hi Five to you! Way to forgive and move on! I used to do the same thing..one slip up and it was all over for me. Now, no guilt, just positive self talk and move on. Let's keep onward and downward!
