congrats! you are doing a great job! I cant wait to get passed this 10 lbs so i know how you feel. dont ever give up!

Thank you everyone! I feel better now! I guess doing something is better than nothing at all, and eventually I will loose enough that upping my speed will be easier.

I have a treadmill, I have been uping my speed but still feel like I am going to slow. Mostly because when I log my exercise it says that its a lesurily pace! I am going 2.7 mph and feel like I am going pretty fast. I have upped this from 2 when I started. I was just wondering for my weight and only been working out like…

You have taken an important step! Plus you were able to quit smoking, that is wonderful too! It will be worth the hard work in the end. :wink:

BTW...you look amazing!!!

What are you tips for loosing so much in a year. I have alot to loose as well and feel like I am going to be at this forever!!!!

Thank you for that, I have always wanted to learn Tai Chi but have never done it. Now I have an even better reason to do it!:happy:

aren't dads the best??? My hubby helped me out I saved and saved to get a treadmill, but when I finally got it off of lay a way it was a million pieces and I am not handy. My sweet heart took and entire day to put it together for me. I was so excited!

honey you are so young! dont feel bad for needing a break. I was 19 when I got married the first time and had my children fairly young. I felt like a horrible mother because I was so tired. I was depressed because my exhusband was horrible and I had to go to school as well. I quit school and stayed at home with my kids for…

I know what you mean about getting upset with some commercials. I dont usually mind most of them but Fruit of the Loom last year upset me. They had two adds about the same time. One had thin models and the fruit guys were dreaming about how wonderful they were. The second was for larger women, it showed the fruit guys…

I would say that if you are still hungry after drinking water or whatever then your body is telling you to eat. Try a piece of cheese, it has protien which helps take away hunger pains.

I have a stupid question...sorry because I am bad with letters what is the HCG diet?

My uncle who is a doctor says that when you get up you should have a little something at least just to boost your metabolism. Otherwise you are not burning all the calories you could. A bannana or an orange or a slice of toast. Just a little somthing. Another thing that most experts say is if you have several small meals…

LOL that was great!:laugh:

That is a super weight loss! Can you give me any tips? I feel like I am working so hard and it all goes SOOOOOO slow. I know slow is best. I just like to learn new tips and tricks and see if they work for me as well.:wink:

Sounds good I want to try it now!

Way to go!!!

Wow, that is amazing she walked away from that. She is truely blessed!

I dont know how true this is, but I read once that what ever weight you want to be you should eat the calories accordingly. Like if you want to be 120 lbs then you should eat about 1200 calories. Basically add a zero to the end of it. Right now I am working towards my first go and I am at about 1700 cal. a day. I dont know…

thank you everyone! This makes alot more sense now to me. I really love this place everyone is so friendly!:bigsmile:

I was just wondering if anyone could explain this better to me. I always thought that when dieting you are suppose to burn more calories than you consume. So at what point does your body go into "starvation mode"? Is it different for everyone? If I burn and extra 300 calories a day why would I want to eat to consume the…

I want to loose at least 115 if not more. It seems like such a long journey but I am just taking it one day at a time and even though I have tried many times in the past. My biggest thing is to just be healthy. I am trying to remember that I want to be able to walk around amument parks without feeling worn out and I want…

I don't really know what to tell you except make sure you drink enough fluids. And I would go to the doctor, its better to be safe than sorry. Plus a check up would reasure you that you are ok and then you may start to feel better just knowing your ok.

Wow! I hope that I can keep with it and do as well as you! Do you have any tips for when people hit those horrble platues and cant seem to budge? That is where I usually give up!

WTG, I cant wait untill I get there!

Thank you for all the support everyone! I am excited!
