I am a VERY obese 43 year old busy mom. I do have problem with my left shoulder and bad knees. In Februray I went to the gym 13 out of 26 days (due to starting a new week the last 2 days of Feb on my calendar are going to be on March). I lost 2 1/2 pounds. I lost a total of 5 1/2". (1.5 from chest, 2 from waist, 1 from…

I'm having commitment issues -- hopefully this helps!

That looks and sounds amazing! Thanks!

Great job!! It does become addictive. I too ran my first 5K this year - 1 month before my 40th birthday. I am going to be running my 3rd next weekend, and my 4th the weekend after! <=== This is my running partner. My 9 year son. :happy:

I am so sorry that you have heard those things! They are the ones who are pathetic - not you!! A year and 1/2 ago when I started my weight-loss journey I could only do Wii Fit for 10 minutes. I still did it. Everyday. This is a very slow journey and you just need to remember that you are doing more today than you did…

Spibelt. I got mine at D.i.c.k.s Sporting Goods and I love it.

I also can't wear contacts because of a problem with tear film. Not the actual duct, but the film. I wear a hat pulled VERY low. I still get some spots, but it helps for the most part. If it is still really bad I would have him check into that rainx stuff - HOWEVER if he has anti-glare coating on his glasses have him check…

This is so interesting!

I made these for dinner last night. This is a favorite go to recipe in my house. Even my picky 9 year old likes them!

Congratulations. That is the best kind of success story!

You have done incredible Radar. You and Roo are such inspirations!!! The changes that you guys are making will leave a lasting impression on not only you but your children. Great job and keep it up!!

I could have written that post a couple of weeks ago! I have jeans 2 sizes too big that I can wear and they don't look bad or feel too big. I saw some on clearance and thought - I will try these on to see how much I have to lose -- they fit! You will be amazed at how much better you feel when you get a couple of things…

Fixed it for you. the img is lowercase.

I am a work in progress. This was last October after I had lost about 30lbs. This is a couple of weeks ago. I am down 4 sizes from beginning as you can see - still have my big ole butt! Edited because I couldn't get these stupid *** pictures to post...done :blushing:

I was just looking at new Saucony's today and am trying to figure out how to convince hubby that it is a matter of need and not just the pretty color! LOL!

Spibelt. I have done the tube sock, arm band, double sports bra, hand, you name it I tried it. I love love love my Spibelt. $20 at ****'s. There is no bounce, no constricting, no sweaty phone. Like I said- I love it! Edited because MFP doesn't allow me to name "that" sporting goods store....D i c k' s

Watching a big strong guy run a backhoe :)

Thank you for this!

Excellent stuff!

Blame on the Rain -- Milli Vanilli and Valley Girl -- Frank Zappa Moon Unit :blushing: also - I am NOT embarrassed that I listen to 90's and hairband classics when I run :love:

I am sorry for your loss Eric. I lost my dad 10 years ago. I look at his picture on the wall when I am running on the treadmill and I know that he would be proud of the changes I have made in my life. Good luck on your journey. Remember that even if you are not perfect today, tomorrow is a new day.

Anyone can send me request. I have been using MFP for over a year and I love the support and ideas that I find on here. I am currently training to run my first 5K on April 13th.

Wow you look beautiful! Great job!!

Great commitment! You are doing wonderful and look so much happier!!

Great job, and the photos look INCREDIBLE!!!

I like it with chicken broth (or boullion) instead of water. I then added black beans and cilantro to my leftovers...yummy!

I am so close! I have spent the last 3 months putting on/taking off the same 4 pounds. I am 3.8 pounds away as of this morning and I SO WANT to hit 199!! I just celebrated 1 year on MFP, and am a little disappointed that I didn't hit onederland before that anniversary, however it's over now and I just need to do better…

This is exactly where I was last news years. I am down 42 pounds last year, and am going for another 40 pounds this year.

I am currently 40 pounds gone into my 80 pound loss. You can do this!!

Great job on getting out of the 200's. That is a MAJOR accomplishment!!!
