Fantastic- Congratulations!!!!!

Collar bones here and liking how the abs are shaping up!

Great information. Thanks for sharin the link!

Congrats on the 22 pounds. That's fantastic! You have lost the equivalent of a one-year-old toddler. That's ALOT. Try packing a one-year old around 24/7 and see how winded and tired you are. Focus on the health benefits and what people say or don't say won't matter. Remember, this is a lifestyle change for you and only…

I think it sounds like a bunch of fun and I'm doing the KC run on July 1st withe a team. THey are already sold out!

I freeze mine for use anothe time. Freezes great!

Good habits are as addicting as bad habits, and a lot more rewarding. You are only one workout away from a good mood.

For me, counting calories was just part of the equation. I had to eat the right foods, i.e. high protein!!! I shoot for a balance of 45% carbs, 25% fat and 30% protein. And, exercise!!! After 40 our bodies are not very forgiving and need to move. I exercise an hour a day, six days a week, but can cut down to 4 and adjust…

Looking Good. I thought I needed to drop more weight also, but reevaluated my goal weight and am happy where I am now. Now i just need to add muscle, which may move the numbers on the scale up, but I want healthy not skinny. NICE JOB!!!!

Nice job - congrats on the healthy transformation!

I'm intersted in this also. I just went to maintenance and want to build muscle....

Try to relax and just lead by example. Children learn what they lives. I remember my mother (now 75) talking about how healthy is was to have lots of different colors on our plate, and about how baked and grilled was healthier than fried and breaded. She talked about the fantastic vitamins in different foods and how they…

Good question. I'm interested too!

I don't like doing dishes or cleaning my house, but I make myself do it because I feel better and more relaxed when it's done. Same goes for exercise. As NIKE says: Just Do It!

Yes - 1300. My Diary is open~

I recommend less fat and up your protein. Maked a BIG difference in dropping the pounds!

:flowerforyou: Wonderful News! Congrats on your new life~

Why thank you! :smile:

I've been in business 7 years and shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II. Seniors, babies and families. LOVE my seniors and fashion!!! My site is www.joyceEveler.com.

I do 40% carbs, 30% fat & 30% protein. need to drop a little weight but mostly need to build muscle. Seems to be working for me and I'm not hungry.

^^^^ What she said! Make peace with your body - treat it like a temple and it will respond for you. Make peace with yourself also. All you have is this day forward. Stop beating yourself up and look forward to this new healthy life one day at a time. Be proud of each and every day. You can do this!!!

For some reason I can only eat a half a pancake or my stomach bothers me. Been that way for a long time. Your body may have adjusted and can't handle the junk. I agree that you gall bladder may be an issue. Hope you are feeling better.

I eat all food groups in moderation. Unless you plan to never eat them again - moderation is the name of the game!

Excellent suggests so far. I would also suggest you talk to a physical therapist. They can lead you in the right direction.

With just a little sugar! Yum~

Bump! Interested also.

Great information. I have to use ALL the tools I can to keep balanced including exericse, diet, eliminating the news media, meditation! Staying away from the sweets helps and finding some protein to balance the blood surgars, but the sweets are what I crave. Sometimes it hard to even remember what helps. Even make yourself…
