TOTALLY AGREE!!

The Nike Training App is good.... you can mix it up a lot. If you do not know how to do an exercise, you can pull up a video by tapping on the picture- I love it!

HAHAHAHA - Me too!! Great post - perfect timing for me to read- I fell out of working out the past month or so - just doing a little here and there but I am trying to get back into a new routine. I see a difference in my legs and waist -my husband sees it too. I don't want to back slide!! thanks for the motivational words!

Wow! Congrats - this is an awesome accomplishment and I hope your story inspires many others!! Well Done!

I am having the same trouble lately ( a lot more then I would like ) but I try to make sure I do something active early saturday morning... either a long walk 3-4 miles with my husband or now that it's nice out I garden and do yoga on my deck. I try to eat really well all week so that I do not feel so guilty if I cheat a…

Maybe a summer bucket list is what I need to get back on track! There are so many great ideas on here I will need to think about and write mine down...

Thank you! We were 19 when our daughter was born and have beaten the odds! We have been married more years then his mom's 3 marriages combined. She tells his sisters to ask us for advice, not her - LOL

~Name: Dan ~Relationship: Husband 17 years together 18 ~Physical: His smile :bigsmile: ~Non-Physical: He is my best friend! We do everything together- even food shopping LOL. He makes me laugh, puts up with my mood swings and an amamzing dad to our 17 yr old daughter. He completes me :heart: :blushing:

My Friday cheat meal is this: 1 Bacardi and diet, 5 hot and honey wings with blue cheese, a bbq pulled pork sandwich with slaw and a handful of fries. I ususally blow my calories by 400 or so but I do not kick myself for it because I am so careful the other 6 days. I drink a ton of water and make sure I do not even touch a…

check out Cooking Light's web site - http://www.cookinglight.com/ They always have good recipies :0)

I keep this list with me always: Fish - I eat a lot of seafood Lean beef ( although I do not eat beef) Skinless chicken or turkey ( I will have these maybe once or twice a week) Low Fat dairy - cheese sticks, dannon light and fit yogurt Eggs - for breakfast or hardboiled in salads or made into egg salad with a tsp of light…

When walking/running or hiking outside, I use the imapmyrun app. It is always lower then MFP and you get the milage you traveled as well. When in the gym, I use the amount the machine gives back.

This was perfect timing for the extra boost I needed - I was 192 in January 5' 7" - you look great!!! LOVE the blouse too. Were can I get one?

one more thing I tell people - if you are 200 lbs trying to lose 50 pounds or 125 trying to lose 5, when people say things to me like, " You don't need to lose wight. I only wish I looked like you." I tell them - IT'S ALL RELATIVE. and leave it at that....

Congrats on the 5 pound loss! Keep your chin up and ignore all the haters - they are just jealous! I used to get upset when family or friends would comment about my diet or weight loss in a negative way. There I was TRYING to improve myself and people were knocking me down. My husband would always respond to my *****ing…

ok - I reset my MFP - my number for moderate activity was 2218 but I took 300 off lit is says I can and set it at 1918 instead of the 1450 I have been doing... let's see if it works and I lose weight because I have been so careful and have only lost 11 lbs so far.... Thanks for the post!

For work, I schedule in 3 snacks for the day and if I am still hungry, I drink more water or fresh brewed green tea.... I am on my third 32 oz water bottle since 9AM ... needless to say, I am hungry a lot - that was always part of my problem... healthy lifestyle or not!! I love to eat! LOL On the weekends, I am always on…

HAHAHA - yep! Of when you step off the elliptical and quick grab the control panel because you realize you have zero feeling in your feet!

HAHAHAHAHA - you are my hero of the day! The high road is always best. You demonstrated poise but still shot that ***** down! Well done!

Two words -Weight Training.... I have been doing MFP since 1/12/12 and had lost 7 pounds in the first month then hit a plateau. I started to really focus on weight training( 10 lb dumbells ) over the past 1.5 weeks along with my running. I dropped 4 pounds in the past week! I was so happy stepping off that scale this…

This is a helpful board! Thanks for posting!

I LOVE my Spibelt! it's comfortable and hold a lot...

I will settle for that kind of gold! Cute idea!

I have 3 - 2 are my sisters and one is someone that friended me... and I'm fine with this #

Instant plain oatmeal with: fresh fruit and white chocolate chips - i do blue berries or strawberries for that berries and cream taste... I will add cinnamon with it too sometimes. I used to do craisins but they have to many calories for me. Nutella and bananas is another fav.

Fried food and bacon. I have not touched either since 2009...

Thanks for posting! I just started lifting because I am not seeing any change in the scale and only little changes in my body. Seeing this is the motivation I need to keep going!

I am just learning to lift - I do not know anyone that can show me so I am watching videos and reading A LOT about it... google "weight lifting for women" and go from there! good luck!

plain oatmeal with: sliced banana with sun butter or nutella or chocolate chips fresh blueberries with white chips and cinnamon fresh strawberries with white or chocolate chips and a little agave or honey

I can't watch TV and run so I listen to music and try to zone out while I visualize a trail or country road in from of me. This does not always happen so other times I people watch without being obvious... and when I still can't focus after 20 minutes, I stop and go do weights or floor work and take out my frustraion on…
