@ballerina--- thank you & I have to give you a 10 back cause your gorgeous, girl!!! :)

Not offended at all & you are absolutely 100% correct. I wouldn't be where I am now if I had continued to allow myself to be a slacker, a victim or a wimp. I am so determined to un-do & re-do, overhaul, recondition & reprogram my entire way of living & my attitude about health & fitness. Thank you for your candid advice!…

I absolutely love it! Feel free to add me & share your wisdom...I'll need all the prayers & mantra's I can get. Thank you. :wink:

@interceptor31: 8.5

Yes, thank you...the main reasons I'd love to be able to cross over to running more than walking is the fact that I need the cardio challenge plus the fact that I can cover so much more territory by running (along with all the added cardio) in a shorter time frame when my schedule will not allow me the 2 hours I need for…

bump.. really need you runners to do a Q & A with me before you take your daily run!!! Hello????? lol :laugh:

Thanks Kelly--I'll check it out! :smile:

Yes, it should save your food entries. Welcome, b t w! Good luck & feel free to add me!!

Hi Rob...please feel free to add me; we can use ALL the support we can get! Having a young family, you've got a lot of stress & a difficult work schedule to deal with but you can do this. I've battled my weight my entire life but am finally winning the war! It's difficult, but I promise as long as you hang in there, you…

What you are doing is great, by simply watching what you are eating. That's exactly how I started my journey & it's how I've continued. My starting weight was over 380 lbs; I'm currently @ 257 (I cannot wait until my Monday morning weigh in because I feel like I had a big loss). It was just that simple for me. I did not &…

How do I post pics on the forum? I'm a little over my 1/2-way marker & I'd like to post pics on the threads...just can't figure it out. :)

I'm an old rock & 80's junkie...so a few of my faves are: Fat Bottomed Girls-Queen Free Bird-Lynyrd Skynyrd Ragdoll-Aerosmith LaGrange-ZZ Top hmmm? drawing a blank this morning...must consult my Ipod because I have a lot of newer hits too. Will update asap Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

Absolutely AMAZING, Ed!!! Congratulations to you! I'm so re-inspired by stories such as yours. Being at the midway point of my weightloss journey, I was having such a hard time staying committed & focused on my plan & goals. I've lost 120 lbs. in just under 2 years but I still have about 100 to go. MFP has helped me to…

Sorry, no disrespect & I know it's your own opinion but it's all you mention-- so it does kind of appear that way.

All those freaking energy drinks!!! Red Bull, Monster, 5 hr.....etc. etc.... they are disgusting! I've never been able to tolerate more than 1 sip of them before I toss those nasty overpriced things into the garbage can.

If it weren't enough that I was on blood pressure & cholesterol meds, my epiphany occurred when the doctor called me into her office to discuss my latest lab work (that I was required to have in order to get refills on the above meds). She hands the paperwork to me and said, "Welcome to the wonderful world of Diabetes". I…

LOL! Hopefully I won't go on & on but want to give you a lift so that you'll stay on track. I'm also a newbie to MFP but not to weight loss. Since March 2010, I've lost 120 lbs. but I've got a bit left to go. I've lost focus lately & am so glad that this site is like my conscience & is really helping me to be accountable…

@nickwa...thank you for clarifying...I was getting a complex! LOL

@bill-i-am...you have a wonderful smile & sincere eyes

@Kelly-- 8.5 You have such a natural beauty!
