I started at 159 lbs, am now 137...my goal is somewhere between 130-135 lbs. I'm aiming for more muscle and definition now. I have weighed in at 120 lbs before I had back surgery (lost the weight because I didn't want to eat and was in lots of pain) but that was way too thin for me.

I have IST (inappropriate sinus tachycardia) and take a beta blocker for it . I have noticed that my heart rate comes back to a more normal range after exercise much quicker now, have been working out for about 9 months now. The internal medicine specialist I saw indicated that there is some thought that IST may be somehow…

You didn't turn to food..that is an awesome accomplishment! Try to think of your weight loss in smaller amounts...such as 5 pound or 10 pound increments, that way it may not seem as daunting. Everyone has bad days...tomorrow is a new day and another chance to try again! Just remember...you didn't turn to food for…

I belong to TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), it is less expensive than WW...I think membership is about $35/year and we pay $2 dues each week. I like the support of the group setting and we have a program each week that has to do with weightloss, exercise or coping with cravings, etc. I have lost 16 pounds in about 10…

I'm from Nova Scotia!

I'm in too!

I have one tattoo...a dragonfly on the inside of my right ankle. Planning to get another one...it will be the celtic symbol for sisterhood in memory of my best friend who passed away from breast cancer 18 months ago (she was with me when I got my first tattoo).

HI! I'm going to give this method a try also! Step 1 BMR 1262 Step 2 Maintenance 1262 x 1.3= 1641 Step 3 1262 + 1000 - 1641 = 621 So I eat a minimum of 1360 cals and can burn up to 621 in exercise before eating extra calories?

I lost 2 pounds over Christmas week...tough to do though. I belong to TOPS and yesterday was my last chance this year to reach my goal weight (I did it!). Still would like to lose a few more pounds though but I have lost 20 pounds since January.

I'm 51....add me as a friend if you like...could always use some support....

Hi! I'm a runner and have had back surgery (6 years ago) for two herniated discs (had a dynamic stabilization done). I was told by the surgeon at the time that the most I could run now would be 5K, I loved running distance so didn't run again until this year. I had other issues after my surgery with a lot of nerve pain. I…
