I walked the trail from Outer Belt west in Effingham to as far as it goes close to the Nazarene Road near Lake Sara yesterday. It starts out with a couple tough hills but then levels out pretty well. It is a really neat walk through nature that you normally don't get with a highlight of a raised catwalk that leads over the…

Here goes! Monthly goal: Down 12 pounds Starting weight on 10/1: 286.8 Weight on 10/8: Weight on 10/15: Weight on 10/22: Weight on 10/31:

only a couple more days until we start the first monthly challenge :)

I believe it's only about 3-5 miles long so far so it's going to be a long time before they get it to the rest of the county. I would guess that might be a 20 year plan or something like that.

so far it is only completed from the west side of Effingham out towards Lake Sara but they are hoping to have the trail system throughout the county...there is more information about it here http://www.trectrails.com/

Of course you are welcome to be here. Once an Effingham area resident always an Effingham area resident! :)

If you need some support I'm on here every day and I've been where you are. I still go through the ups and downs, I think all of us here do as we are looking to change these habits we have lived for years and years. At my heaviest I was almost 400 pounds so I understand how scary and challenging it can be to change. I'm…

Fightin' Illini all the way!!!

This whole thread is very disappointing. The OP only asked if she should consider taking back her ex because he is willing to compromise on religion. She wasn't asking for a diatribe from everyone whether or not they are believers or not. I guess it is a post about religion though and gave people a chance to get on their…

My guy co-worker was basically in this same situation only reversed since he is the guy. His ex who happens to be the mother of their son that he has custody of kept leaving him for the next best guy she had found. And he kept taking her back over and over again, 9 times worth. :mad: He kept believing that she was…

Big Blues fan! Finally have something to cheer about this year after some really really tough years the last few years

it sounds like your body has adapted so what people are talking about by kind of tricking it (eating more calories for a bit, changing your workout routine, etc.) should jumpstart it and then you can get back to your preferred calories and form of exercise

It seems to be more vital for children as far as physically needing but here are some expert opinions that I've seen online. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/food-and-nutrition/AN01119 http://www.webmd.com/diet/guide/most-important-meal http://nutrition.about.com/od/nutrition101/a/breakfast.htm…

MFP is a great tool for both men and women to help on the weight loss journey. You get back from it however much you are willing to put into it. If nothing else he should join just to be more aware of his caloric needs and how much certain foods are worse than other foods. That is what the biggest help for me has been. I…
