Does a new profile pic count? Taken today. :smile: Next NSV will be running 10k non-stop. I think I'm about 75% there.

When are people going to stop being surprised by stuff like this? I mean, really.

Clothes, I just can't afford boutique, but "tall" sizes in cheaper pants/jeans are still just way short. One place I worked had a hanging light fixture in the middle of the kitchen, and I hit my head on it a few times. Walked under it in a particular hurry one day and broke it. I was so embarrassed. Books I need at the…

Or that. Lol, jeez. :blushing:

I would like suggestions on this as well. I make huge pots of chili or soups. I had a thought that I should weigh the total contents to get a better measurement for recipes. But haven't done so yet. A ten quart pot of soup is probably too heavy for my kitchen scale lol

Hi, I am also 6' tall! My official start weight was 220, but my highest known weight was 250. I'm now right around 164, size 10 (possibly 8). It has taken me six years (I've had two more babies in the meantime). When I first started, just getting under 200 was my goal- getting within normal seemed impossible. Just start…

Hi! I have been running a few years now, and I'm planning to run my first marathon this year. I haven't decided when or where yet, so in the meantime I'm just running a little every day. Feel free to add me if you want. :smile:

My weight loss stalled between about 3 and 5 months post-partum as well. Just in the last few weeks I have seen the scale go down again.

Very timely topic. I was just thinking I needed something to compliment the margarita fast I undertook this weekend. Thanks,OP!

There is no magic bullet. You just have to stop it. Log your food. Eat the pizza but only as it fits your calorie limits. This is me, too, so don't feel like I don't get it. You just have to learn control. It gets better with practice.

I gained back nearly 20 pounds in about six to eight months from rebounding off a 10-day juice only fast. So stupid, SMH. Even two pregnancies didn't set me back like that stupid juicing.

I also tried two other meal-tracking sites and just liked the look of this one the best. I thought it was the easiest to use, and the database seemed to be the most complete.

I have 8 kids and we homeschool, so they are all home all day every day. Morning workouts have never, ever worked for me, despite that being the most common recommendation. I have the benefit of older kids to keep an eye on things while I go for a run or whatever, so I find either just before or after (sometimes during)…

saving! TFS!

Thank you for posting this link. What a great read!

Thanks! I thought about putting myself up for adoption, but didn't know if I qualify as a noob as I've been here a while. I just don't post much.

Meant to also say- congrats on not needing larger shirts. Isn't that a great gift to give yourself!

We have two birthdays coming up. Oldest DD turns 17 on the 5th and third DS will be 12 on the 6th. Lots to celebrate! And then winter turns dreary for a long time yet. My favorite hymn OF THE FATHERS LOVE BEGOTTEN is really for Christmas, but hopefully appropriate for epiphany as well. I have never liked WE THREE KINGS.…

The rosary is a struggle for me. My mind wanders way too much. Being a good mom and trying to pray with the kids makes it that much more challenging. I can't really seem to meditate when I have sit down prayer time but while I am running it is easier to let my mind relax. I will be so glad when this cold snap is over and…

Bump. :smile:

Well done! Awesome loss, and you have a beautiful family! Merry Christmas to you!

Awesome loss, well done!

Wow, wow, so glad you shared your story! Congrats and I wish you all the best for years to come!

I am sorry for your loss. I pray for your healing and peace.

I hate lunges, too! Walking lunges are OK, so I usually do that version instead of stationary.

I am 6'. My heaviest was 250, starting weight was 220. I am currently at about 169. I'm in a size 10 and would like to get down at least another size. So I guess my goal is 160?

I should hope that these "family members" are adults. Juice fasting for children is a NO.

had to come see the vicious pit bulls

I get asked this all the time. I just assume it's because they know my history.

I am 6' with the last 10-15 or so to lose. :)
