I agree with you needing to eat more calories...I've had the same trouble, and you just have to force them. A lot of people have recommended raw almonds. You have added a more difficult topic with being vegetarian. I understand your reasoning, but you have to keep protein to continue to exercise. The biggest thing I saw…

Be careful with your knees. They get inflammed easily and can cause a lot of trouble. I recommend working out in the water for a while. It takes the pressure off of the joint and is very beneficial. I over worked my knees in my 20s and have had trouble with them ever since. Watch out for ibuprofen...too much is hard on the…

Born and raised in Ann Arbor, MI...just felt someone needed to say it. :bigsmile:

This reminds me of the TV commercial where the girl calls her boyfriend to give him the silent treatment. I just wanted to let you know that I am planning on

You are a poster child for MFP!! I can only imagine what this incredible change has done for your health and self esteem. You truly look like a totally different person! Much younger and so fit! You prove there is NO reason to give this up! Congratulations, and I pray you have a long healthy life because of the wonderful…

I understood this differently than the rest of the group...most people went down the list in order they were presented...I was thinking in order of what I want. I'm hungry, so this is a good time to do this. 1. homemade brownie with extra creamy vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce. 2. large plate of homemade spaghetti…

Will be celebrating 17 years of marriage! And yes, I'm quite a bit Irish.:love:

A truly amazing transformation! Obviously losing all over! You are even more beautiful than you started out! I'm sure your little one is proud and Mommy can keep up a lot better!! :flowerforyou:

Your face is a totally different shape! What amazing results! Congratulations on your hard work!!! You have a lot to be proud of! :flowerforyou:

www.benefits-of-honey.com has a lot of interesting information on honey...

local honey is beneficial to building up defenses against allergens...

timremlinger 8 (you have very kind eyes!) I was an LMT at your age, also.

You were gorgeous to start with, now you are incredibly gorgeous!! Congratulations!:bigsmile:

I'm not a fan of veggies and my body complains...I also like adding cheese, and in particular the Laughing Cow cheeses. They have them in the deli at my grocery store. They are not cheap, but really tasty. I also like veggies broiled with garlic and a little bit of olive oil. In terms of what to put in food diary...if it…

Incredible transformation! Congratulations! I love when the pictures say it all! You have done SO well!!!:flowerforyou:

I am a D and tried them for a backless dress...what a joke...would have done better with duct tape and pasties. It may depend on your cup size. I don't remember the brand I used, but they weren't cheap. From Belk's I think. Good luck! Maybe try to sew in a bra in the front?

Sweets! I went without any sugar or processed foods for an entire year and never got over the craving. I am keeping track of sugar, but have only stayed in the green once so far. It's a goal, but for the beginning of this journey, I am working harder on the calorie count. How about you?

I have to walk with 2 canes or a walker and can only do it for 10 minutes tops. It's harder to lose when you can't get around well. I am planning to join a pool to get more aerobic exercise. We can still keep the calories down and do our best to increase movement. The doctors don't think my foot will get any better...it's…

Although my disabilty is not as involved as yours, I have a very difficult time with the exercise also. I wish there were listings for calorie loss when disabled. Like you, I am exhausted doing things which are easy for others. I have fibromyalgia and nerve damage, but more importantly, I severed a foot which was…

1) Keep God in the center of your relationship. 2) Remember that marriage is commitment and choose to keep that commitment - divorce is not an option. 3) Discuss everything before you get married...if you can't talk about it before you are married, you won't be able to talk about it later. 4) Remember that marriage doesn't…

Talk to the manager. If you aren't paying the other member, you are just working out with a buddy. If they argue it, I'd ask for your money back...if they argue that, get their boss' phone and address! Good luck to you!

I think the white is more flattering to your figure. Good luck on your audition! :flowerforyou:

I am partially handicapped. I had a severed foot, so walking, or running or many exercises are impossible for me. I am very glad to hear there are alternatives. I have been trying to compare my amount of energy expended to what it used to take to do different activities. For example, I need to figure out what a flight of…

Wonderful transformation! You were beautiful before, and now, beautiful +++++! Thank you for sharing your pictures. Very inspiring! Congrats on being a size small in your scrubs...it must feel terrific! Keep up the great work to your goal. :flowerforyou:

your husband says you are wearing a slimming outfit and hasn't realized that your body is getting thinner!! :grumble:

I hope you are proud of the amazing transformation! You have made such a difference in your looks, but also, you have added years to your future with better health! Keep up the great work... :flowerforyou:

They are different words, and I will do my best not to praise you with my usual, "Great job", if you would like to add me. :grumble:

I agree with this and drinking water (so often our hunger is really thirst). I was able to cut down to the serving size from eating many by simply taking the one or two cookies out, placing them on a small plate, putting the container in the cabinet and going to another location to sit and relax while I ate them slowly.…

Diet soda if you mix with soda...stay away from the cream drinks and the fancy drinks with multiple liquors. Please drink water between! It keeps the alcohol from dehydrating you and you will be less likely to be sick. Remember every drink is calories and do not!!!! forget to eat. Alcohol on an empty stomach is a bad…

I've switched back to a regular phone ring because I would always just listen to the music and forget to answer... :blushing:
