Hi, I'm Tammy, I'm 43 and having sleeve surgery on April 30th. I could use friends who have gone through the process.. I also started this journey with a weight of 260.

Belinda, I'm on my liquid diet now. My surgery date is April 30th. I'm sending you a friend request. How was your surgery??

I'm having the sleeve done on April 30th, in 9 days. woohoo. I'm on my liquid diet now and could use friends of people who have also had WL surgery. Feel free to add me.

I think I want to try this. Only one way to improve and that is to practice practice practice.. (or just do them)

Awesome!! I love when a size I'm in starts to get more comfortable and baggy. Keep up the good work.

..... Good Luck.

I also run into the same dilemma. I have about 130 lbs to lose and that seems like a big chunk when you look at it as a whole. Start small. I can't diet, exercise and log all at once right now. I started by trying to increase my water intake or watching my food portions. I now substitute fruit for side dishes, I'm limited…

OMG - TOTALLY!!!!!!!! I didn't have time to read all the replies here, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Mine. I have the fitbit flex. I bought my husband one, then my daughter and now my 13yr old son wants one. I was not really active, due to some knee surgeries and an auto immune disease in my back. It really is an eye opener on…

Amazing!!! I too am a fellow military wife, fighting the battle of the bulge. You did a great job!! Very inspiring.

HI All, I am almost 40 and I am about 115 lbs overweight. I was diagnosed with AS in July of this year, after 20 years of back issues. I haven't been able to walk or exercise for more than 5 minutes with my back. Also, just as soon as I start a workout routine, something comes up. First it was knee issues, no exercise for…

I was recently diagnosed in July 2013 with AS. I have had it for years, but it wasn't diagnosed properly. I just saw that there is a group in MFP for AS. Just go to groups and search ankylosing spondylitis and Join. I just did. Also, feel free to send me a friend request.

This may have been said, but FB relationships are just there for entertainment, in my opinion. I would be more worried about making sure the person you are talking to is in fact the person you think you are talking to. There is a lot of catfishing going on, especially since the movie and the TV shows are making it pretty…

Grey's Anatomy - MOST DEFINITE Chicago fire is an awesome show. I LOVE IT Scandal Downton Abbey. Season 4 starts in Jan. Seasons 1 & 2 are on Demand but I think Season 3 will be avail on demand as soon as season 4 starts. I do know that Season 3 is on Itunes right now.

I have the DVD.. I'm in. That will be a rough month for me, but I will try. My daughter graduates June 14 and we are moving the 16th, pretty much. Plus a trip to VT at the end of the Month. I will need something constant in my life. I have tried it twice before, but due to medical conditions, I had to stop. Bring it.

Try this site. It takes your weight, height, experience and other factors in to account and then they recommend a shoe for you. http://www.runnersworld.com/shoeadvisor I have to be careful because I have the flattest feet ever so I have a hard time finding shoes, but this site is fairly accurate for me. Plus it's not on an…

I agree. I am currently doing the Cto5K as well. I am 115lbs overweight (which is about 50-52 KG) I have been on week 1 for two weeks. If I can't jog anymore, I just keep walking. When I can do all the jogging/running for the day, I will do that the three days then move on to the next week and I will repeat days if I can't…

It did, but it's so basic, that it doesn't explain anything except how to change the time and change from time to pulse to Chronometer or chronograph.

ok... I knew it was a watch.. but I don't understand all the fancy gadgets. why do I want one for working out/ running and what are the fast little numbers that move at the bottom, and NO they aren't seconds..

I thought the pain issue was just me. I am commenting to say thank you to all of you who have offered wonderful info (Plus I"m bumping this without saying "bump"... LOL)

@ arnim... a much younger carol burnett.

I just started this last week, again. for the second time. I couldn't get through week 1, day 1, then the dreaded flu hit our house.. So today I re-started the Cto5K. I downloaded the app... great tool. Feel free to add me. I need a lot of support, since I have no self motivation and lack will power.. LOL>

I must say that you all have had some awesome ideas and great inspirations. I so hope I can stick with this. It's going to be a long journey. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the Awesome Ideas guys & girls!! I will be trying a few of these.

Thank you sooo much!!!! I am told I look a lot younger than I am. I'm actually 38.

Are you going to get friends here and then start a group under groups?

Hi... I'm Tammy. I'm 38 and a mother of 2 they are 17 and 11 (almost 18 & 12) and I have a step son in Utah who is 20 and just got married 5 weeks ago. I have two golden retrievers and my husband is in the military. I work full time as a payroll specialist and I have an issue with binge eating. Looking for new support and…

@ jacwhite - This is a hard one, but I'll say 25

I appreciate the input. I think I will lose the weight as best I can and maintain for a year and see how it goes, those were great ideas. I'm hoping I have good genetics. Most of my weight is in my belly (I gained 70lbs with my last pregnancy and just couldn't lose it). I don't have a lot of weight in my legs or arms, so I…

I have this issue all the time and I am looking for tips and support on how not to do this. Feel free to add me if you are looking for someone in a similar situation. I'm trying a new trick for me, since I have tried many others and failed. I just upped my calorie intake from 1200 (losing 2lbs a week) to 1645 (losing 1lb a…
