I have 26/28 (which I keep to try on now and again and say WHOA I was that big?) down to size 12. I currently am a 14 but always keep a pair of pants a size smaller as my "goal pants"!

I started out walking on the treadmill and doing water aerobics. The hardest part was just being in a swimsuit in public :noway: Increased my walking over time and after I lost about 50 pounds, I joined a gym and hired a trainer.

Feel free to add me. I have been there too!:flowerforyou:

I wear an HRM but will use Endomondo just to track distance. The calorie burn is always much higher on Endomondo compared to my HRM.

Bump for ideas later.

That should be something that is talked about on the first date or when you're making the date. "I have to find a babysitter" is a good way of getting it out there. :smile:

I honestly have no concept of what I looked like at my heaviest and I spend a lot of time now confronting the mirror. I make my daughter stand next to me so I can see the difference (not that I will ever be her size 2). I often think I look thinner than I am but want to be real with myself so I don't get complacent and…

Great post!! And so true about our family not being as judgemental about pics of ourselves as we are. You are awesome and love watching your progress!!!

Bump for later

My current weight is 217 but started at 285. Would like to see 165 then go from there. I am on everyday and would love to offer support or encouragement to anyone who is in need. :flowerforyou:

Very nice! Thank you!

This has been entertaining me all day at work!! Thank you. :smile:

Not a runner, but while training for the Avon Walk I did lose my big toenails. I actually went for my pedicure and she painted the toe with the missing nail. It didn't last but take your own polish for her to use and then you can touch up daily. She cuts my toenails very short now but haven't been walking like I used to so…

BUMP

Love my wine and love this idea!!!

So true!!!!!:laugh:

WOW!!! Amazing! You are doing great!!

Oh I hope my divorce does that to me too!!!!! :laugh:

Did that and then walked into a warehouse full of men. I still can't wear pantyhose to this day!

Take them!! They are a huge motivator when you see the transformation in progress. I would never let anyone take my picture at 285 pounds so I have no before pictures at my starting weight. Wish I had them now for when I get in a rut. Do it!!! :smile:

I want to believe in soul mates but I also want to believe in Santa Claus. Doesn't make it happen. I do think people can be compatible for a long time if they grow with each other and work hard at their relationship.

I recommend Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30. 20 minutes and you see the results quickly!!!

Bump for later :smile:

Bump for later!

Same thing happened to me when I was out of work except my wardrobe enemy was pajama pants :noway:

I need to try this!

I updated mine. Will feel great when it goes down again :smile:
