I took a leap and signed up for the mini this year. A friend asked if I wanted to do it with her... I just started running a year ago, however she is not a runner so we will more than likely do a combo run/walk :) I am excited. I've never ran before in my life so when I started it was a huge accomplishment woot woot :heart:

Thank you for inviting me to the group :) look forward to all the sharing of information :) :)

Yes... I'm down from 387 to 191 since 2008, it's sure is a process a very day sometimes moment by moment one :) Visit my blog at: http://myjourneycrystalroy.wordpress.com/ or like my facebook page to see photos: http://www.facebook.com/387andsubtracting or just check out the profile here...

**** thanks i'm going there now :)

thanks everyone.... i really am getting help out of these suggestions so please keep them coming :)

*** congrats on getting within your last pounds!!! i did try and up my calories per a suggestion at the gym, and i gained 7lbs so after that i cut my calories back down.

**** thanks, about 2 months ago i started weight training with a trainer so that i get practice with proper form etc., and yes i already see a difference in muscles etc., (which is SOO COOL!) lol, sorry. limiting my carbs is a great idea, i try to be aware of that, but i haven't really actually done it.

*** thanks.... how did u change, or rather what did you get instead of...... can you give me some examples?

**** I like my protein shakes... I should have been more clear, I just don't want to do the whole shakology that alot of people seems to be using. sorry bout that. my favorite drink is my soy protein powder, water, 1/2 bannana mushed and just a little nutella

i use to weigh 386 pounds....now i'm at 215 and best part is i've done it on my own without surgery (but surely with the good Lord by my side), or a coach etc.. not that theres anything wrong with havin the surgery, but i beleive anyone can do this....its not easy, but it can be done. God bless

PRICELESS!

ITS POSSIBLE! Log your food be faithful about it, drink lots of water and move, move, move :)

at my heaviest 386... i wanted to have this done bad, i thought this was the only way. insurance wouldn't approve me because i was to fat. several years went by....takin 10 plus pills a day with diabetes, high blood pressure (i could go on) i bascially woke up one day and said i hate who i see in the mirror and i'm gonna…

great place. have fun :D

:love: :flowerforyou: :smooched: :blushing:

congrats!

people are greedy. no offensive but noticed in my experience that stylist are at the top of the list.

number 7.... i guess i fail, i neither like or dislike. blessings and congrats.

welcome :)

eat more smaller meals, 6 or 7 a day if you can. keep your body fueled so you don't want to snack.

i had a wasa whole wheat cracker with all natural almond butter..... ummm ummmm good :).

I was once there. Weight was 338, spent 2 mins on the elpitcal and gave up cause i couldn't breath. So I started the treadmill at like 2.3 miles per hour and walked 20 or so mins. That was my 1st at the gym. Today is a different story, so don't give up, press forward :). Great job so far!!!!

Chin up :), don't let anyone tear you down. You are no longer that person :)

something i do that you might find helpful is...... i do at least 10-15 mins warm up, then 30 minutes of weighlifting and then at least 30 minutes of cardio, with a 5 -10 min cooldown. I do this 5 days a week, days 6 and 7 I might do cardio but no weights.
