The opposite for me... I have always been able to handle my drink (it's a family trait...sadly) but now I have lost my weight I have to be careful cuz I get buzzed pretty quick! Fun! Haha
-
Don't think weight loss now...think "I want the best, healthiest, most toned body I can get!!!" Start lifting weights (to tone) or work on a TRX! I reached my goal weight and have been really working getting toned and at 48 I'm in the best shape of my life! Enjoy not having to "lose" weight and really work it now!!! Enjoy!!

From Colorado but live in England...my story...well let's just say it's one for Jerry Springer!!!!!

Naked bars!!! (and nuts!!)

I just reached my goal weight and have NEVER dreamed of putting those sorts of things in my body! What goes in is whole, healthy, live foods and what goes out is good hard exercise!! I'm 48 and have never in my life been in this good of shape! When you give your body what it wants it will respond in kind!!!!! Do it the…

Ever done squats (deep squats or jumping squats) on a TRX??? Nothing has ever changed my legs as fast!!!! Look it up on you tube! Good luck!

No stupid questions...as they say, log everything. Sometimes the little things we pop in our mouths are the ones that add up, so log it and see it's worth it!!

I'm 48 but feel about 25...really! I can honestly say I am now in the best shapenof my life but believe me it is MUCH harder once you pass that 40 mark...(and harder for women than men) ! Just keep eating healthy live foods and keep moving...also, I have found that weight lifting is so important and has many health…

Hey there and welcome to the world of running! "Runners World" is a good sight to go on for great tips for all levels of running! I have completed 4 half marathons and one full and 5 tough mud runs (but I still don't consider myself a runner)!!! I guess because I feel pretty slow but running is a great thing for stress, to…

FANTASTIC!!! as you said "you will never forget your first one!" My story is exactly the same!! I still don't consider myself a "runner" as I usually end up around 12 min miles on long runs but....(and this is the great part) I have now done 5 half marathons, 5 "tough runs" (mud hills and lots of water...usually around 9…

I'm an American who lives in England and it amazes me how many time people don't mind telling how much they don't like Americans and when I kindly ask "where in America they had been to have such a strong opinion" they always say "oh I've never been!" EVERY country has it's faults and EVERY country has beautiful people. We…

Always choose "real" food and GONE are the days where nutritionist say to eat only the egg white! The whole egg is all very very healthy...perfect really! Great low cal protein!!!!!!

Go to your food log and then into recipes...put all the ingredients in and how many servings and it will not only break it all down for you but it will be saved for the next time you eat it!! I love this and use it often!! hope it helps and good luck! (add me as a friend if you like as I love to cook too). :0)

Thanks guys! Think I will try logging as Cuircut training if not may get the HR monitor!!! :0)

PS: When I say I gave up sugar I did not mean natural sugar that we find in fruit!!! :0)
-
Go on you tube and look up "sugar, The Bitter Truth" by Dr Lustig. It's long but very very good! I cut sugar almost completely out of my diet (before ever seeing this) just cuz it (and pasta and bread) make me very bloated...I am now convinced that the key reason I have been so successful and reshaping my body is mostly…
-
I would say it's not the low calories but the exercise that your body is adjusting to. (although make sure your calories are high enough) On my days that I have a super tough workout I often have trouble sleeping! My legs get restless...but I have had to force myself to make sure I am drinking plenty of water, stretching…
-
In looking at your food diary I would suggest you eat more "real" foods!! Good lean meat, veggies, fresh fruit and so on! Lean cousine is full of processed stuff and high in sodium! The calorie content is low because it's a small portion!! Get a good healthy cookbook and start teaching yourself how to make good quality…

If it doesn't say what you want you can always return the scale!! Hahaha keep us all posted and remember, measurements are more accurate!!! :0) Rooting for you!!!
-
Thanks so much for posting your story!!! May you be forever blessed with good health, love for yourself and from others!!! :0)
-
You have the right idea Kath...it should be looked at as a life change to healthy foods! The body wants good food (fuel) put in it so it has the energy to move and the weight falls to where it is meant to be! I know it's frustrating when you have a big number ahead of you to lose but you can do it...your body WANTS it!…

Wish our gym would offer a TRX class, that would be great! We just have one hanging off the equipment and someone showed me how to use it and now I notice more people trying it! Starting Monday I have worked out a program and will work it 3x a week...I will let you know if I can move on Friday!! Hahaha
-
Perhaps focus on the exercise part! Try to increase that and start to see what happens (don't eat those calories back yet)! Also, take your measurements!! A friend of mine was getting upset not seeing any changing on the scales and I told her to only weigh in every other week but pay attention to the measurements...she…

My gym has been closed but on Monday I am starting a new program and plan on 3x a week on the TRX!! Looking froward to it! Keep me posted on how you are doing too!

Very healthy oil but where did you all get the idea to put it in your coffee???? I would never have dreamt of any healthy oil "olive" or others in my coffee! I love it tossed on my hot veggies! Stay healthy all....

I have ran 5 half marathons and one full marathon as well as many "fun" runs....but I am a very slow runner and have never considered myself a "runner"!! When I started running I could hardly get around my block!!! Honestly!! What I would do was set a goal like to just get around the block and would start out and say "jog…
