  • I agree with the seeing a dr definitely. Even if you think you know what he/she will say. What about looking up some exercises you could do while sitting to try to build some strength? Or counting your steps until the pain starts and then stopping and keeping a log. Go a couple of steps farther every other time to slowly…
  • This is a great post. I just got back on here. I had lost 25lbs and then over 2016 put it back on and then some. I knew what I was doing every time I over ate or put "bad" food in instead of "good" food. I just couldn't get over whatever it was in my brain that took over. I realized very recently that I was sabotaging…
  • I have a 4 & 3 year old and 18 & 16 year old. It gets a bit chaotic here and I lose focus and once that happens it's back to the same habits!!
  • I was also on here and then left. I experience bouts of depression so that can be challenging and I'm hoping that getting back into eating healthy and exercising again will help. I love to read too!
  • Lets see....I had bar-b-q pork ribs-extra sauce, pasta salad, baked beans, brownie with ice cream and fresh strawberries. Oh...and Wise potatoe chips as an appetizer. So today is another day and I will hopefully not 'cheat' the rest of the week. I keep telling my self it's not a 'diet' it's a lifestyle change.
  • Ooooh how could I forget Christian Bale!!!???? Something about a man in a rubber suit!! HaHA ;)
  • My long time crush is Johnny Depp. Ever since 21 Jumpstreet I have had the hots for him. My husband thinks it's hysterical and calls him 'your man' everytime there is something on about him! LOL
  • I have a St. Bernard named Cooper who is 240lbs. We 'rescued' him from people who did not want him anymore, because of his size, four (4) years ago. He will be 7 in December. He is the biggest baby ever.
  • I'm shooting for 60 miles for the month.
  • Yeah, right there also. I'm fairly healthy #s wise also. I work out hard and have lost weight and have started to see the muscle beneath the fat and I'm liking it when people look at me and do a double take and when I walk my *kitten* doesn't take 5 minutes to follow or jiggle like jello anymore. I don't think there is…
  • :laugh: I'm laughing so hard at the first part of your first sentence!!! :laugh: I am in total agreement with you too!!!
  • Totally agree with you on this!!!
  • I do not drink. Have not since I was 22 for many reasons. I'm not bothered by others drinking, unless they become really obnoxious. I actually like to people watch and it's always more fun watching the drunk people!! :bigsmile:
  • You look great! Definitely seeing your abs cut and flatter! Way to go!!
  • Yes, most times I go with what the Fitbit updates on MFP except on the days I go to the gym. Then I adjust that myself.
  • Right now I go 2x a week, Tues/Fri for 1 - 11/2 hours and sometimes 2hrs. I go to a private gym with a trainer so alot of times it's one on one or just a couple of us. It's a killer workout.
  • I love my french vanilla!!!

  • I only have one cup a day. I like mine with french vanilla in it and I'm careful with measuring the creamer. It's my morning pick me up. I could give it up but really don't want to. I enjoy it. I don't think there are really all that many calories in the coffee to make a difference....it's the creamer and sugar that kills…

  • Honestly?!? They need a different hobby. That is just so wrong. There is nothing wrong with you. Who is telling you that they are talking about your nose? That person needs a different hobby also.
  • That is me to a tee!! I do really well for awhile and then I say "hey, I can have that _________" and I am off the wagon. I just keep trying and reminding myself that really this is a lifestyle change not a 'diet' because if I tell myself that I have to restrict then it's like I want the not so good stuff even more. I'm…
  • Oh your poor kids!! NOT!!!! :laugh: Believe me if my husband didn't like sports so damn much I'd have thrown out the TV a long time ago. Nothing but crap...even the kids shows are not good. I really don't watch TV. I'd rather read a book or do some research on the internet or chat on the phone. Don't get me wrong I have…
  • You look fabulous!Congratulations on rockin' that bikini!! :happy:
  • The day I put on my size 10 jeans and didn't have to suck it in to button and zip and I put on a blouse I haven't worn in three years and could actually button it across my chest and get it over my biceps!! Everytime I try on a piece of clothing that I couldn't wear last year and it fits this year I am excited and know…
  • OMG! I love/hate running. I have started and stopped so many times. I ran a mile this morning and probably should/could have kept going but noooooo I decided a mile was good enough and walked back. Mind you I have done 2-3 miles in the past with no problem but I was with friends and that kept me going. No way was I going…

  • I have this problem and my trainer said to drink more. Make sure I drink more than I would on an average day when I'm working out hard.
  • Awesome job! What an inspiration you are. You look fabulous!! :bigsmile:
  • I love my Elliptical. I agree that you get what you put into it, as with anything you do. When I first started I could barely do 10mins and now I can do an hour. I push myself, I try to stay 5rpm(revolutions per minute) higher than the target and use my arms to pull as well as using my legs. When I am done I'm soaked and…
  • You look great! Good job....that is what dedication and hard work look like!!! Way to go!
  • You don't look fat to me....look at that woman/man now that's fat. And from my mother, "How much more weight do you plan on losing? because you're getting awfully thin and you don't look so good" Thanks mom way to be supportive.
  • I'm 5'9" and I wear heels. My husband is 5'10" so that makes me taller than him but he finds it sexy.....guess it's personal preference. If it makes YOU feel great to wear heels then wear them!!
