42 tomorrow and can’t kill the last 15 to save my soul!

I’ve been going for almost two years now. I don’t find it to be amazingly groundbreaking, but I do like that I can get in, get it done, get showered and back to life in 1.5 hours. No planning. No thinking. No pushing myself. That $12 no show fee is quite motivating too. It does irritate me they call it a 60 minute workout.…

42 next week! I kind of love being older. My health journey is much more about what I can do than what I look like! Feel free to add me and get off my lawn :)

I’m in and out. 5 10, 182. Work hard, but seem stuck here!!

aw, why did it have to be alliance? fraid I can't do that - can hardly stand to visit Dalaran! Play on Balegun normally. Willing to RealID or group up sometime if someone else happens to be there. Oh and - FOR THE HORDE!

It sounds like to me you’re less worried about the physical loss than the loss of trust. It’s a really painful and hard truth that folks are very difficult to trust. Any one of us and any time may or may not live up to your or my personal standards. Even people we love and know very well disappoint us sometimes. It could…

LOL, you *DO* like to talk as much as you like to eat. :) Glad to see you. I've been back on track for about two weeks now. I had to detox, the first three days were as hard as always. I was complete bitty and couldnt stand myself anymore than the folks around me could. If I have to do this again, I'm checking into a hotel…

I'm afraid you've asked a really hard question that doesnt have a simple answer. If you're going for one of those magazine style photos you should be prepared to invest in some studio lighting and photoshop. If you're working with a point and shoot, you're going to struggle with lighting. An on camera flash is difficult to…

It could be what you're eating too. The nutritionist was telling me that some foods the body is more efficient at processing than others. You could start small and add something like a high sugar piece of fruit once or twice a day for a week or two and see what kind of changes that makes. Our insurance pays for one…

Awesome! You're a rock star!

Here's the thing - what you're doing is not working for you. I suggest you change something. My body responds to my diet differently all the time. What worked two months ago, may not be as successful this month. In general, if I'm true to my diet and exercise plan for two weeks and do not see any resutls, I change it for…

With my most recent puppy, I took two days off work and spent every minute with him (Expect when we had just come in, I leashed him so he couldn't get too far away). I took him out about every 30 minutes and if he went, I loved on him like he was a super king. On the occassions he started to go in the house, I said a firm…

hmmmm. Calorie friendly biscuits and gravy. Sounds impossible. :) I hope someone comes by with something good. If it was a treat I really loved, I wouldn't look for an alternative, I'd have it. Very infrequently and smaller portions, but have it none the less. Good luck!

From my wall after a weigh in yesterday morning: +2 for the week. Strangely, I'm not sad or annoyed. Through the week, I did eat some pizza, a doughnut and a twice baked potato. I also killed in the gym 5 days this week. I ate white rice and steamed veggies at the chinese place well everyone else ate my favorite FRIED…

Seriously - get over that. We're all different with different body compositions. You don't have to weigh 112 pounds to look and feel great (by the way you do look great). Stop judging yourself because you don't fit in the weight box you think you should and be happy that you get to rock some weight. If it helps, I was…

nah, it will never die. Good thing. I LOVE the Gus one and giggle every time I see it.

I was wearing a great pair of Maddens. But now - frankenstein toe socks!

I've done my part. I make twinkie cakes Thanksgiving and Christmas. The season won't be the same without them. Hope they find a way to keep them around. :)

Doesn't matter if it is exactly right or not. What matters is that it is consistent. If you use the same scale in the same conditions (hardwood vs carpet, shoes vs no shoes) you should be able to compare your results from one weigh to the next. I do wii because it makes a nice graph for me and over two years time I can see…

I can eat virtually anywhere (save a pit BBQ place down the road that only has fried veggies on the menu). I'll be honest, I rarely order anything straight off the menu. I find something that is close to what I want and start taking off and making subistutions. In some cases, I order from the kid's menu and pay the…

too bad, looks like I just missed out. Good luck to you all! I hope you nail it!!

I'm with you on the cold. Typically, if I'm comfortable, everyone else in the room is sweating. I wear layers all summer because it's so cold inside restaurants, stores, and my office. Strangely enough, I get really hot when I sleep and often have to shed all of my blankets and always sleep under a fan. Other than that, I…

I am a master at losing weight. I am also a master at gaining it. I've gained and lost the same 50 pounds no less than 4 times in my life. I wish I had the answer. Maybe someone with great wisdom will fix us up. :)

Been a good day today. I haven't eaten enough and know it. I'm struggling a bit with it because I'm not very hungry at the moment. I'm going to buff dinner with a handful of almonds and milk and see how that goes. Yoga class was awesome, really enjoyed it and my daughter and I are getting ready to try out knitting a hat.…

OH - Side note.... over the holidays I found myself in a situation that I had to sip soda or go without any beverage when I dead thirsty. Tastes like A double S now. Can't imagine how I 'loved' it so!

I just did it. I figured the half life of caffeine was five hours so I got up one Saturday, left on my pajamas and sat in the rocking chair for six hours and popped advil. My vice (2L+ per day)was Diet Coke. I kept one in the fridge because not having it in the house made me anxious. Then I simply made a choice not to…

So 1 is a fail. No gym time today. I had a tough night sleeping and my foot is really bothering me. Thus far, I have been successful at cutting my calories way back and should finish around 1200. I didn't go out to lunch so I had some fruits and veggies off the salad bar. When I get home I'm not going to even look at a…

Plan for Jan 4: 1. Adjust gym plan around my kid's doctor appt. Will probably mean after work rather than during lunch (which likely leads to lunch out with co-workers, argh!) 2. Find something reasonable at a not so healthy local lunch place 3. Less than 1.5 hours of 'screen time' (tv, iphone, PC, etc) when not at work.…

Personally, I dont think it matters when you start. Maybe for you it's a "common" time and just feels right. Maybe for someone else it's a deeply personal reason that falls in middle of July. Doesnt matter. As long as you're committed to your health and wellness and doing it, today is just as good as yesterday. Congrats on…

1. Step Class - DONE 2. Finish two work projects - uh oh. Only finished about 1/2 of one. Too many distractions. 3. No meat today - DONE 4. Only fresh fruit and raw veggies for lunch (no bread!) - DONE BONUS: 1.75 of 2012 1000 mile challenge, only 998.25 to go! Plan for Jan 3: 1. Kick *kitten* in high intensity pool…
