Fads don't work long term and as soon as you start eating again, the weight will come right back on. Your intestines are approximately 30 feet long and hold a LOT of 'stuff'. Start right now. Go for a short walk. Have your holiday dinners. On Dec 26th, go for another walk or start doing some other exercise, especially…

Good for you! I, like you, decided last year to NOT be one of those people who started on Jan 1 (or 2nd) and then fail after 2 weeks or so. I started walking on Christmas Eve last year, and like Forrest Gump, I didn't stop. I've lost 40lbs and feel like I'm a completely different person, physically, and a lot different…

Biking, weight lifting, fat loss and fake tanning lotions. Other than that, clothes, I guess. :(

Thank you! I lost 40lbs between Jan and May, then gained muscle weight from then until Nov. I have just started losing again by adding more time to my workouts. The fat pic is of me in 2009. I looked even worse than that before I started losing weight, I just wouldn't let anyone take any pics of me. Now I'm glad I have…

Thank you!

You need to put [ img ] before each link and [ /img ] after each one, but with no spaces.

Go to a running store that will scan your feet, watch you run, walk, jog and spend at least an hour or so with you. If they don't do that, go somewhere else. It is 100% worth the time! Good luck and I hope you get some relief soon.

I wasn't 'fishing for compliments' and trully mean't to inspire/help people with weight loss and show that anyone can do it if I did. But, THANK you kindly! You all made my day!

I wouldnt stop! Revaluate your diet. Kick up your exercise routine and make sure you are eating enough. If you wake up hungry, you're probably doing things right. Drink plenty, move more. My weightloss came to a standstill and after I hadn't lost anything from May to December (yikes), I realized that I had to kick things…

Haha! It's like a pizza iv! Yummm

Mine did! I don't add salt to anything anymore and a lot of stuff tastes wayyy too salty now. I'm even amazed that companies put so much salt in food to begin with. Perhaps it's due to us being used to it now, idk. Here are a few I've noticed being different: Canned soup Canned vegetables, well anything canned. Pizza, and…

Wow that is amazing. Congrats on having your hard work pay off. You look awesome!

Gorgeous smile!

Congrats on the weight loss and running! You've got this. :)

Thanks so much! Someone on here suggested I use photobucket, so I did and it was easier than I thought. There are also tips in the forums. Just do a search on how to post pics.

I have to take Zyrtec daily and use my inhaler if it's cold out and even if I open the window while I'm on my treadmill. Don't give up! Try walking first, keep your inhaler with you and make sure you keep seeing your Dr. if you have problems. It gets a lot easier after losing just 10lbs. ETA: I also have to warm up longer…

Thank you kindly! I couldn't have done this without your support! Thank you for being here for me. <hugs>

You are too kind!! Thank you! :)

Warning, I'll be blunt! Today I had pizza, cookies and a peanut butter cup. But, I also jogged for over an hour. Get moving and burn some of those cals so you can have what you want! That way, when you wake up on Jan. 2nd, you won't be wearing a bigger size pair of jeans!

Aww thanks! And, yes it is definately worth the effort! Sometimes it really sucks and I wonder if I'll ever get through a workout but it's all worth it in the end.

Thank you!

When you get the flu and lose 8lbs, it's mostly due to umm bulk and water weight due to not being able to eat. You'd be surprised how much that 'stuff' weighs. If you have lost weight since then, you have probably put back on weight to make up for the empty stomach, colon, etc. and lost fat after having the flu. Don't…

It is shocking when you find out just how bad stuff is. For me, the latest 'aha' anyway, is Pumpkin Milk. It has 290 calories in 8 OUNCES. I used to drink a tall glass, probably over 16oz, 600 cals or more. It is probably 50% fat and 49% corn syrup & 1% pumpkin. lol

Not me! Oddly, I crave it. I just hate picking at it in order to be able to eat it.

A year ago I would have downed a 16oz glass of Pumpkin Milk @580 calories, as a snack. Today I put 2T of it in coffee.. :)

I used to have HUGE boobs and always did. A few years ago I had a reduction/lift and was finally able to exercise without pain. THEN, after losing 40lbs, they shrank to a very small C. :( However, I can buy any bra, wear any clothes and not wake up to my boobs in my armpits anymore. I just wear padded/pushup bras and they…

That stuff is like most supplements, it gives you expensive urine and feces. Eat real food instead.

silly

I'm a bit taller at 5'3" SW 179 CW 144 GW 125ish or when I'm happy with the size/looks of my tummy. I've gone from a tight size 16 to a loose size 8, since Christmas Eve last year. Lost over 40 inches. :)
