When I began this I started with walking my dog for an hour. It was a crutch for me, I didn't want to be judged for being that fat lady trying to get in shape. Distance/Speed wasn't relevant, just moving for an hour was. I walked around my house/neighborhood going a whole 3mph. (I used smart phone apps to estimate my pace…

Bart Simpson would be outraged, but I - I am tickled for you :)

Stop spending so much time looking back at where you've been, you're missing out on where you are. Wouldve said that to my 20 years ago self.

Its easy to gain weight rapidly.. especially if you ate super salty stuff, or if its yer uhm.. bloat week if you will .. just pay attention to how much water youre drinking for the next cpl days, eat your usual calorie limitation, and relax. Weight flux's all over the place sometimes, just to test our endurance in our…

Why would you torture yourself that way? If it's just a push down until after the event, then why bother? If youre genuinely concerned, do something more long term, sustainable and healthier for your body. Yikes :S

Actually to be fair in SOME cases it is very much so a marketing strategy to tweak around with the nutritional information. Primarily the "bad" nutritional facts, like trans fat. If they tweak the serving size they do not have to report if or exactly how much trans fat is contained in the product since the law stipulates…

Barbara's Puffins Cereal - Original. Nice lightly sweet taste, starts out crunchy, but if you let it soak it gets soggy (which I like :P) Just make sure you don't get the shredded oats version, I always grab the wrong box and I don't like the shredded stuff :( Serving Size: 3/4 cup (27.0 g) Amount per Serving Calories 90…

On the agenda for this weekend while hubby and boy are out camping! Mid Oct, camping. Yikes! Thanks to you guys all!!

Family can be either be the foundation for success with their support, or can be that awful hack that works at undermining success. I've chosen (with MUCH difficulty sticking to that) to ignore anything detrimental my mother mentions. According to her I am intimidating people who know me cause I am an overachiever, I am…

It jsut occured to me that my shadow even fits between the vehicles' shadow, haha!! :) Thanks so much!
-
I feel you on the lawn mowing - yard work used to leave me gasping like a fish out of water, now I am finished in normal people time, lol :) Good for you! I haven't had a bath in YEARS cause of my size, I didn't realise until you said that about hips, jsut how much Ive missed being able to soak in the tub and that I just…

Thanks :) I love those little victories that come with losing weight, sure get that motivation motor revved up!! Now I feel like going for a long walk :happy: :heart:
-
Ya that was a lot of fun. Glad Im a pro camper, we had the only fresh coffee on the street and tons of sleeping bags to curl up in :) Too bad we lost so much food in the deep freezer :(
-
You look so great! I love how happy you look :) Well done! Enjoy maintenance mode, you worked hard for it!!:drinker:
-
It could mean a number of things, but without seeing your diary - knowing your physical stats - not a whole lot to suggest for scoundrels. A lot of sodium/water retention, miscalculating how many calories youre eating, not eating enough on heavy workout days consistently enough to make your body slow down on what it burns,…

felt it here, NH too - pretty fun.. Thought it was a big truck rumbling thru or my crappy furnace :S
-
Good days about 16 glasses a day, recently about 6-8 glasses a day - water is gross :(
-
LoL nope, New Englander mom, where most plates were half filled with potatoes in one form or other. Haha.. Though my hubbys Dutch mom is quite like that, but he can eat like a horse and not gain. dammit -,-
-
First because my mother insisted I finish my plate no matter what, cause starving kids in (insert country.) Then because kids in elementary school convinced me I was worthless and ugly so I hid behind the lie that was the comfort of food. Welcome emotional eating for a very very long long time. Insert downward spiral of…

Not yet, or maybe.. the jury is still out. I have godzilla feet, so I would love fo rmy feet to lose a size or two. My friend did, went down 1.5 shoe sizes. For me that would take me down to a 10 :embarassed:
-
Yep, been there! This summer I had to buy new shorts cause my "old" ones were literally falling off me :( I went from a 5x to a 2x and I couldnt figure out how I was going to get my fat butt into them, and you know what? I did. I don't know how, but I did! It took me 2 weeks of literally telling myself "You DO fit these!"…

I think trying to push for that as your ideal goal might feel great now, but will you be ok with it if you don't hit it? Thats the better question IMO. I set myself up for a "Lose 50lbs by Christmas" goal back in January. I blew by that in 4 months- Im pretty sure that is unusual success, and now that I am 15 lbs from…

Obv looks first, its the first thing you notice on any encounter but the minute he (or she) opens their mouth it can make or break it for me. Id rather hang with an ugly guy who knew how to make me laugh when I a down than with a hawt looking piece of human garbage. I got lucky and got the good combo with my hubby ;-)
-
"Not right now," trumps "no" 100% of the time when it comes to food choices. Id rather wait a while until I really want something, rather than cut it out of my life all together. Also: EAT TO LOSE (move more to eat more!)
-
You look GREAT!!! 8 months of hard work have definitely gotten you looking pretty sharp :wink: Keep it up, youre going to be at your goal in no time! Yeee haw!!:flowerforyou:

When I was around that weight range I was set at 1460 also and enjoyed it. I have my settings for 2lbs a week. Sometimes I make the 2lbs, sometimes over, sometimes under, but always cause of something I ate or didn't eat. Don't worry, after your first 10lbs lost MFP will have a cozy 1:1 with you and discuss renegotiating…
-
Im dreading the conversion. I know in my head that you're supposed to eat more once you hit maintenance, but wrapping my head around +500 calories (or whatever your deficit is) is pretty intimidating. I would, I guess, recommend easing yourself into it gradually. Add in your 500 over the course of a week or a month (I…

Im 5'7" and am walking @ 4mph, and 4.2 Im thinking the more frequently you do your 4mph "jogs" the better your chances at turning it into a walk. When I first started walking I couldnt get above 3mph without feeling like anything faster would mean me jogging. Gradually it built up to 3.5, then 3.8 now 4.0 is a comfortable…

Ill admit it, I like to see if anyone replied to something I said. I like feeling self important- even if it is a lie.:blushing: :laugh:

Obnoxious/inappropriate status updates.. Im not above having fun, Im above being crass. :grumble: Decidedly overweight ppl deciding 1200 calories is the optimum calorie intake then struggling to stay under and complaining about it. :noway: People who go AWOL for substantial amounts of time, or who log in irregularly then…
