Wow, that's more will power then I would have. Way to go! :)

woo- hooo!!!! You go girl!!! :)

That's fantastic!!! I can't wait till I can jog to the end of my street without being winded little alone 20 minutes worth. thanks for the inspiration. :)

I take Natural Factor's Omega 3-6-9. 2 capsules 2 x a day as recommended by my doctor. I initially started taking it because I have a history of bloodclots and she feels the omega are very helpful in reducing the tendency to clot, and help the circulation system. In addition, I've also found that my skin is much clearer,…

You're amazing! That was very inspirational - thank you for sharing. :)

You ROCK! Can't wait to join you! :)

Someone emailed me asking for info on how I did this. If anyone else wants to know, feel free to email me and I'll give you details. Its all stuff my doctor recommended - nothing insane. :)

Like I said, its just week one and no i don't expect this to happen every week. If it did everyone on the planet would be thin. This isn'tmy first kick at the can, but if you don't celebrate the victories what's going to carry you through the difficult times??

I used to eat margarines a long time ago because I thought they were better, but my doctor told me to switch back because the chemicals are not good for you, and it does not have any nutritional value. He said that butter has some nutritional value and is more natural, so as long as I have it in small quantities, its a…

that's fantastic way to go!!! BTW, you probably know this, but just in case, muscle weighs heavier then fat. So to be seeing inches coming off would explain why the scale isn't moving as fast as it used to. Anyway, its awesome! all the best to you!

I'm definitely going to try that this week - sound delicious!!!! Thanks for sharing. :)

I used to LOVE diet coke, but successfully cut it out for over 2 years. I did it because of the health concerns, and I am trying to eat cleaner and healthier. The first time I tried to quit I went cold turkey and that didn't work as I ended up with a pounding headache and crabbiness that lasted for days, so I caved. The…

haha! I love this idea!!!!!!! Aside from that, one thing I have tried to follow is the idea that the definition of success is "getting up one more time then you fall." To me falling isn't the problem - in fact, set backs are expected. But its getting back up as soon as I can instead of lying there in my own misery. I…

Wow that's amazing!!! I bought knee high boots last winter too and have them shipped. they were extra wide calf as well, and I was so excited to get them in time for Christmas. When the box arrived I pulled them out and tried to get them on. they wouldn't zip much past my ankle. I burst into tears and ran out of the room.…

You look fantastic! way to go!!! Seeing people like you who have done so well, help me feel encouraged that it can be done, so I can do it too. :)

thanks everyone for your kind words. I know its a small thing. but ultimately I think taking weight off comes down to tons of small choices not one big decision.

feidems: that's a really good point. thank you. :)

It depends what you mean by a change in the worse way. Do you mean more often or less often? A healthy person should be having a bm 2-3 times a day, but most people barely have 1 a day due to diet. If you are eating healhy and are constipated, it could be due to the increase in fibre. Most people when they first make a…

Me too. Count me in. I have about 140 to take off.

thank you. best wishes to you to. I'm glad you came back. :)

thanks Sheydad, best wishes for your on your journey as well. :)
