I use the "moderate aerobics" option.

As someone who weighs a lot, I know this story from your friend's side. Two years ago, I was rushed to the hospital - they told me I was hyper-tensive, diabetic, and I needed a blood transfusion (due to my cancer, which was undiagnosed at the time). The doctor prescribed me a bunch of pills and told me to lose 200 lbs…

I am an English teacher, and I don't care about grammar on MFP; it's not a resume. However, if it bugs you, it bugs you. Get it out! We are here to support each other. Long threads bug me. (And, yes, I eat my exercise calories most days. In fact, I exercise so I can eat those calories most days.)

:o) Phenominal job!

I'm over 350, and I take a Zumba class twice a week (and have been doing that for over a year now). I love it! It's so much fun! It makes me sweat, and I don't care that I'm sweating. I lose myself in the songs and the time flies by because after 4-5 min., it's a new song, so we start over again. I'm the only really heavy…

Motivational! :o)

That's fantastic!!! NSVs are much more meaningful! :o)

Very few people would love to see me punch a baby puffin (I think it's beak would probably hurt me more than my punch would hurt it; and they live on high rocky cliffs - climbing is not my strong suit). I retract my statement. It would be hilarious trying to see me punch a puffin! I am going to have weird dreams tonight of…

Why do I suddenly want to punch a baby puffin in the beak to watch it cry?... maybe I can distract myself with a square of dark chocolate... or a distracting photo... (oh no! not that beach couple again!)...My eyes! My eyes!

My favourite is raisin bran with skimmed milk before bed :o) I find if I don't eat at night, I wake up hungry the next morning. And then I'm hungry all day! Personally, I've moved my meal times around. If I eat supper at 8:00, I don't usually get hungry until the morning. (And remember, years ago, eating at 6:00 was…

Set a measurable goal (something that you can prove & can't fake). Then find someone in your life that is truthful with you that will hold you accountable (a softy won't cut it). Bet them that you will meet that goal (and be date specific). Make the consequence of losing the bet something harsh that you would hate, but…

I think Nadyasmom got missed - and she's absolutely gorgeous! And bigsargswife make such a cute couple! :o)

I lost 75 lbs in 3 months (many years ago). I was scared to eat my favourite foods because I knew I'd fall back into old habits. And when I did eat some, they didn't taste the same or give me the same "high" as they used to. However, I know for me, it's the increase in exercise that really helps my weight (not that a…

Mine can be anywhere between 90% & 98%. It only tracks movement, nothing else. I get really sore at night, so I roll over about once an hour. I also am really still when I go to bed, so it often shows that I've fallen asleep when I haven't. (I wish we had the control to "help" it decipher our movements better.) If you're…

A lot of gyms offer a one day pass or a free trial day. Go, with lots of questions about their programs and what they can do for you. Workout for a day there. If you're uncomfortable, try a differrent one until you find the right fit. There are even some gyms that cater to weight loss. (Personally, I prefer a gym with…

When I have a bad day, I look at my weekly summary. It always makes me feel better. One day I went 2000 calories over, but I was still under for the week! Some days we're under. Somedays we're over. As long as your trend is healthy, you'll be healthy! :o)
