Off topic but had to tell you I love the picture of the collie!

That is truly awesome and thank you for sharing. I loved your update as I am very similar to you and your goals so it was very motivating. I started in Jan at 199, have lost 40lbs - keep going girl, I know your happy and should be after getting to the halfway point and you're going to LOVE the next half because you're…

Thank you! Healthy eating works no matter what you call it and there is a big difference between nutritional science and for profit nutritional information......http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=BMOjVYgYaG8&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DBMOjVYgYaG8

SW Ontario here too - born and raised but my Dad and siblings born in Scotland, LOVE THE UK!

This above and despite a seemingly great and caring personality (not to mention he may in fact be an excellent physician/surgeon) he is tied into the pharmacology industry along with other issues his sponsor/network/Harpo will "encourage" him to reflect in the show. Don't ever think it's about any thing other than money.

Thanks for posting - inspiration is always appreciated. I am about 3 weeks from my 4 months and at 33 lost so thanks for the added push today. Totally understand what you're saying about eating 'clean'. My husband and I have been doing this together and it's awesome, love how we feel and really enjoying the weight loss.…

Thank you for posting this....sigh

This - right on for me too

Welcome and good for you taking charge to make a change. There is lots of support here, good friends to help along the way. You will have great days and tough ones too but overall as you make progress you're going to love how the changes make you feel. Good luck on your journey and just ask away if you need help and…

Jan 15th to Apr 10. lost 32lbs no exercise - 5 4", 47 yrs old SW 199 CW 167 I think your goal is quite realistic-good luck you can do it!

I feel for you as I know how frustrating this can be! Whatever you do DON'T give up-you can get through this and keep realizing your goal. I was stuck for 4 weeks and even gained a pound in that time but eventually broke through and lost 3.4lbs in one week. We are all different so you just have to try a few things until…

Good for you taking charge of your health. You're right it is a process so be patient with yourself and give it time. My husband had by-pass surgery 5 years ago at 48. He was always a healthy weight, exercised regularly and had a very active job. In fact" the doctoes told him he was the type of case that scared the crap…

Well fellow challengers I am out for the next few weeks - bulging disk in my back is the diagnosis, treatment for the next 2 weeks and hopefully I will be back to cardio by then. Good luck everyone and keep going :happy:

Could not agree with you more. My husband and I are 100% vegetarian and within that 60% vegan - we will eat small amounts of dairy when eating out or out at friends for dinner along with eggs from time to time. Our whole concept of food has changed in the past 6 months and we love the idea that weight loss is now a…

I've had a similar experience - I previously lost ~25lbs but kept a lot of my belly fat. Since mid Jan of this year I've lost almost 30lbs and my belly is melting away -that's the good news; however it's not for everyone. I have given up meat, dairy (with the exception of a very small amount each week), eat primarily…

Well after missing yesterday's workout things got worse today! I've injured my back getting a kitty out of my closet-outrageous! Now I can hardly move and in too much pain, lets hope this is a VERY short set back. I'll know more tomorrow :(

I'm in - going to get back on track after missing yesterday

So this is the first day I've missed-I knew it would be late but the day became derailed, such as life over the long term when changing your lifestyle. I've decided to just continue on tomorrow and will put arms and shoulders into Wed. Most importantly, in the past this would have been the trigger to get completely off…

I'm in and it won't be done until late in the evening, it's going to be a long day before I get home but I will get it done!

Today is a rest day for me :bigsmile:

Nice happy message for Easter - congrat on the new baby

29 Mar - Long cardio done 35 min walking 15 min bike - it was tough to get this in today but it's done thank goodness!

I'm in for later this afternoon - it's a beautiful day where I am and looking forward to a long cardio outside!

28 Mar Chest and Back Done along with 30 min cardio Have a great day everyone!

I`m up for tomorrow - I did the 45 cardio challenge this morning and another 30 min tonight so I am a girl on fire :) Will report in tomorrow when complete.....

45min on the treadmill - yippie done for the day

I'm up for this today and looking forward to it - today is weigh in for me and another pound GONE! This group is excellent for keeping me motivated to do my exercise, thanks everyone!

I feel for you as I can really empathize with how you're feeling. It's difficult to come to terms with how we do let ourselves go. I know you may look at my stats and say "Yeah Yeah but you've lost near 30lbs", well let me tell you about that. Last Jan (2012) was my first day on MFP. I felt exactly like you do now. So I…

Challenge for 26 Mar done - Legs, Abs and 20 min treadmill, 15 min bike - yippie 2 days in a row. Keep going everybody!
