Now I get to do another one. Yay! John, you are awesome and I'm so proud of all of your accomplishments! <big hugs>

To Kev.. Omg you have lost a LOT of weight! YOU are AWESOME!

That's gross. My gym would never put up with that. I'd go somewhere else.

Take them back and get a refund.

For me, it was finally realizing that I had to change my life to lose the weight and keep it off for good. As soon as I did, the fat started melting. Yep, it's eat less, eat better and move more. That simple.. we just have to want it bad enough. There will be no more 2nd, 3rd, 4th times for me anymore. When I reach my goal…

She's already in trouble. That good looking man was Dexter...

I'm not sure! I was down 40lbs then started gaining muscle weight, about 8lbs of it! I know this because I measure smaller. Now I've recently joined a gym and the scale is going back down, but I know I'm still building more muscle. lol My original goal weight was 120-125 and that would give me another 20lbs to lose. I…

Newman's own Almond Biscotti Keurig cup with 2T of Sugar free vanilla creamer and a dash of amaretto sugar free syrup. Delishhhhh!

It depends on why you want to. If you are really done eating for the day, have had the calories you need, and are going to pig out and eat junk and snack all night, maybe you should stop at 7. If it's 9pm, you've worked out hard that day and you're REALLY, honestly hungry, not wanting to eat out of boredom, emotional…

I want that.

Update: A bit over a year ago, I posted on here how I was walking to help my fibro, etc. I weighed 166lbs then! I have since dropped down to 138, then went up some as I gained muscle weight. I'm now able to jog without any problems. After I started walking, I dropped the weight quickly and then decided to try c25k. I…

Only while training to run faster. I do fast/normal intervals.

LMAO, no,,, not gerbils. Although I did at one time have a patient who did..but that's another topic. lol

I can't say on here. I just hope that I'm not found dead with them. Or make that dead from using them. lol

1. My Polar FT4 Heart rate monitor. It inspires me to work my butt off. 2. Clothes & shoes! Under armour bras, shirts, pants and a jacket. I can't stand to be soaking wet, then freezing cold! It also stops chafing. I got fitted for Brooks running shoes, custom orthotics from my Podiatrist and I buy awesome synthetic…

I disagree. I suppose you get more creative as you age. We are kinda old I guess, 51 and 53. You can have it anytime, during holidays, during any party we have.. we sneak off then reappear and no one has a clue, plus when you get a new car, you have to initiate it, then a new truck, tractor, washer, dryer, bed, camper,…

My man got a hotel room for us, but hasn't told me where yet. So,,, I'm going to get the champagne, chocolate, strawberries, a umm sexy outfit for me, well for him to enjoy, lol , and a new wedding ring for him. We've been married for over 33 years, he has already replaced my ring, with a huge rock :), so it's my turn to…

There are a few things I never eat anymore, but it's mostly because my stomach can't handle it. A few examples are.. donuts, anything fried, fast food, most cheese <gag>, most cereal, dried fruit, popcorn and regular potato chips. I do eat... ice cream, baked lays, cake, pie, cookies, butter, bacon, mmm glorious bacon! I…

It's not one of your choices, but I'd prefer a beautiful mind. We all get old and wrinkled, saggy, at some point in our lives. If you have no personality, you'll suck, no matter what you LOOK like.

I love nsv's, whether they are mine or anyone else's. Thanks for posting, I'm so proud of all of you!

I have a couple for today! I went to the gym and was told by some random guy that he assumed I was a newbie, because I had new workout clothes on. He said that after he saw me work out and run on the treadmill, he knew I wasn't and wanted to know how long I had been going there. Umm... today was the 5th time I've been…

The men who jump on the machine that I just used, before I can wipe my sweat off it. It's their choice, but I think it's gross. Not my business, but it annoys me.. the women who walk fast on the treadmill while holding onto it for dear life. I fear walking behind them! Out of a dozen or more weight machines, I'm on machine…

Happily, stretch marks are finally acceptable and are considered to be 'tiger stripes' or battle scars, whatever.. No one has a perfect body, nor should they strive to be 'perfect'. If I had to give up my stretchmarks I wouldn't have my 3 awesome kids.. or my 4 even more awesome grandkids. Those stretchmarks gave me the…

I had it bad, did all the stretching, etc. and ended up going to a podiatrist, getting fitted for orthotic inserts for my shoes. Problem solved! I can now run up to 6 miles with no problems. Get it under control fast because if you don't, you'll end up with bone spurs and they are even worse! Good luck and I hope you're…

I use 1/2 cup old fashioned oats. Not the quick cooking variety. I boil 1 cup of water, add the oats, stir, turn it down a bit so it doesn't boil over, let it cook for 3 minutes. To that, I add 1/2 cup crushed fruit like bananas, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, whatever you have..(if its frozen, I nuke it for a…

Just because. I have nothing witty to say. Nice biceps though! lol

Oops! I can't believe I forgot this. Everytime I was in the ER with a migraine, my blood pressure was sky high.. They would say that it was high because of the headache. Well I mentioned that to my neurologist and he had me monitor my blood pressure. Come to find out, half the time it was normal 120/60ish, and sometimes it…

The Museum of Science and Industry is cool. Sometimes the Field Museum is ok, but usually I find it a bit boring. You MUST go to the 'bean' and take some pictures. Eat at that famous deep dish pizza joint. Well, I forgot the name, so just eat at one. :laugh: I usually go there during summertime and go to Navy Pier also. Is…

Soylent green Splenda Water The 3 tootsie rolls I just ate. Roadkill Spider ankles Eye of newt Sometimes I forget to log a bit of honey I put in my tea. I don't log additional exercise, like walking my dog, if I already worked out. I don't log my legs, but sometimes I don't shave often enough and I should. At least I'd get…
