Thanks for the info! How do we change our original activity level if we have gone up a rung?
-
That is so awesome! Way to keep going and seeing results! I had torn my ACL this past summer, but now I am able to walk and workout (though not like you) and MFP does help make a difference! I don't think I'll be playing ball this summer, but I DO know that I will be able to be active! :) Keep on keeping on!

I try to keep things upbeat, positive, and motivational! Feel free to add me! :)

It is good to see the posts and to know that we are not alone! I am on citalopram 20mg right now. The doc said I could take 10mg, but I knew to get through the holidays, I would have to have more in my system... I am doing better. There are difficult days, and I definitely feel better after a workout- like I've really…

I understand completely! It IS really difficult to plan regular meals when you commute to work, let lone around busy ball schedules as well! How about making/creating wraps and having them already with you in your fridge to take and then the family could even eat them in the vehicle on the way? Just something light enough…

Everyday is a day to start again. Here's a quote to put on your fridge, mirror, etc: "Don't forget you're human. It's okay to have a meltdown, just don't unpack and live there. Cry it out and then refocus on where you are headed." We all have our days where we overeat/don't workout/feel down/etc, etc... but take a deep…

Smoking is NOT worth it! There are so many health reasons, but also, maybe we can find a way to turn that into motivation to find something else to do in its place! I'd be happy to help you on this journey. I am able to log on Mon-Fri usually... feel free to 'friend' me if you are interested in my input! ;) It WILL get…

YES! We can't change others, but we CAN change ourselves for the better and hope they follow suit! Today's is: A bad attitude is like a flat tire. You can't go anywhere until you change it. ;)

Congrats to you for already losing so much weight! If you like, I could help try to motivate you on the rest of your journey! (I will be unable to log on until Tuesday, but I'm usually on through the week!)
-
I am right there with ya! (But I have a few more years on ya- LOL!) I won't be back on until Tuesday, but feel free to add me and I'll try to be a positive motivator for you!
-
You can do this! I am in your shoes as I am over 190 & wanting to lose about 50lbs as well! We can do this and we can get there! :)
-
Love it! And yes- you are so right! I try to live in the positive, but.... so I am going to force a smile and get on with my day! Thanks! :)
-
Yup. Took me by surprise and I was speechless for a few! :p
-
YEA! So I'm NOT completely out of the loop?! :) But that would also explain why I am so lost!
-
Today's is matching the drama here at work perfectly: Just like a rubber band, when you stretch the truth, watch out for the snapback. I guess it's not necessarily positive- but it is something to ponder!
-
I have been using the ideal shakes as well. I use unsweetened almond milk and I really like them. It's just important to focus on what you are eating and what you can cut out. They have made a big difference and have helped me get a healthier eating pattern on. For those of you who say, 'you can do it w/o them... just…
-
That's a good one! I also like I am thankful for all those difficult people in my life. They have shown me exactly who I do not want to be.
-
I have used different things and Herbalife is one of them. However, as I started seeing results I lost my job and could no longer afford the products. I am trying ideal shape now and like it too. However, it has taken these 'products' that everyone is bashing to see HOW to cut back on my food and to really focus on what I…
-
You are going to do it! If you can, check out the Denise Austin 12 minute workouts and go from there! You could try to squeeze 2 of them in! I'm a mom of 2 and totally understand where you are coming from! Walks with the babes are awesome and a good way to bond! Friend me if you'd like! :)
-
We are really close to having the same goal! I started out around 200 and want to get to 150 or lower! Feel free to add me as a friend! :) I find it helps to motivate myself while motivating others as well!
-
Hot chocolate powder is actually really good! I don't care for hot liquids and I see that that was actually a really good way to solve the craving! Guess we are both crazy! :)
-
I really like it! It helps me to see what I've eaten and what I have 'left'... though I have learned to guess and use some of the other items that are already entered, as I don't have time to calculate everything myself. I try to finalize the day so I can see what I would weigh if I kept up THAT day (not that everyday is…
-
I would love to be 170! ;) But seriously- you cannot let her comment continue to torment you. All I can say is push that aside and use the anger/hurt feelings to re-focus in on your goal. A few quotes you may want to write out and keep on a mirror or someplace you can read before/after you run (however you choose to cover…
-
It is really hard to 'notice' progress right away. I know that all sorts of companies advertise the 'quick fix', but I have been trying something new for 2 months now and I am starting to see a slight difference (on the scale and with some of my clothes)- but mainly I just FEEL better. No, it isn't the drop of 10 or more…
