Wow - you did an AMAZING job!!!!!!! I have been trying to see if there is anything out there for people who have had more than 1 c-section and are morbidly obese who have lost the weight ... can we get rid of that flap that hangs down ... I am hoping so!! Have a long way to go --- but you are inspirational! Thanks!

Thanks guys - I haven't checked with the doc - but I think it is prob nothing. I have mild asthma so maybe that was it --- but it was pinching rather than wheezing ..... However since it would go away if I lessened the intensity it is probably muscular in origin and I will keep pushing through - thanks guys!!! Hugs - Dia

Ok - I think I had this wrong - I thought it was 2 minutes of killing yourself and 1 minute of recovery --- I was having a really hard time with this and I couldn't make it through my 10 repetitions ... I was having pinching/uncomfortable feelings in my chest. So is it better to do it like that with the 2 minutes to 1…

Wow - sounds as if you have a PLAN!!!!!!!! Whoo Hoo!

Thank you very much for posting this - I have been trying to get a handle on the HIT stuff and this spells it out very clearly! THANK YOU!

THanks! Will report at the end of the day how many I have gotten through :)

Whoo hoo! THAT IS AWESOME!!!! Please share - how did you do it??? I had my weigh-in today as well --- better than a gain but didn't hit my 2.5 mark I was trying to hit March 2: 328 March 9: 326.5 I did exercise 5 days this week --- and intend to continue that!

THanks everyone!!!!! I have been exercising in the morning on an empty stomach and it works fine for the exercise - really it works well for me exercise-wise. I have been worrying because I have not been having a lot of weightloss - and everywhere says you have to start a day with breakfast. That doesn't work for me with…

Thank you for your reply - I realize that diet is a HUGE component of this & I am working at sticking to about 1500 calories per day or less if I can manage it. MFP has suggested that I eat 1780 per day based on my BMR (this is before exercise.) I am NOT adding my exercise calories back in because I think that I have an…

Hi Jessica - I am new here as well - just starting on the journey & I have A LOT more than 100 pounds to lose. I would be happy to fight beside you in this battle to lose weight!!! Hugs - Dia

I also have Fibro --- it makes me incredibly tired all the time & makes me sore & achey --- and makes exercise really hard! I think slow gentle stretching does help (it starts out really painful each time) but hang in there and hold the stretch for longer periods of time & it will loosen you up. I try to make sure that I…

Bump

I am not succeeding as I would like!!! I have been exercising every weekday (not last Mon & Tues I was sick) and I have been trying to stick to the calories suggested on my Food Diary (BMR-calories to lose weight) and this week the scale is not really moving .... BAH HUMBUG! I will try and cut down my calories more - this…

I just saw these today - so I will join & start tomorrow :) But I will have to do the high knees because I can't do jumping jacks (my knees/joints won't take it) but I do want to participate. I don't know if I will get through 1000 but I will do my best!!!! This is a great challenge thanks!!!!

Are you talking about 1000 High Knees per day? And this is standing in place & bring your knees up as high as possible (hold it up there for a second or two and then back down)? Do you add your hands to this as well? Thanks - I would be willing to try this - not sure that I can do 1000 yet but I will give it a shot. Hugs -…

Thanks everyone for your responses - I have a HUGE ribcage --- I think I will still have a large one once I have lost my weight .... but hey that just means more room for my lungs when I have gotten rid of all the fat!!!!! LOL I really appreciate your thoughts! I will be looking into the F4 - thanks for the tip on looking…

The easy answer is to say - take pride in the fact that she feels the need to degrade you because you are doing so well!!!!! But perhaps it would be best to say - I am sorry that you felt the need to be so disrespectful and unsupportive of me, but I am proud of what I am accomplishing and where I am goingto that end I can…

Oh your chocolate is SOOOOO much better!!!!!! Used to live there long agothe home to my fav candies in the world --- Fruit Pastilles!! (Smarties coming in a close second!) I love breads - regular & sweet - sweets of all kinds --- food of all kinds .... my biggest hurdles are portion control & just controlling what I eat. I…

I think the step count is innacurate - anyone else find that?

You look great! More importantly you look happy & proud of yourself - as you should!!! WTG!!!!! That is AWESOME!!!!!!

I am really gonna try and make this work!!!!!! Today's weight: 328 Goal weightloss for March: 318

I'm in - Friday weighings ... I am thinking positively that, with hard work, the numbers on the scale will go down 10 pounds this month!!!!!!!! Whooo Hooo - Goooooo EVERYONE!!!!

I absolutely could have written your post - if I could avoid eating EVER I would do better ... that was how I quit smoking - just cold turkey & never touched them again! I am hungry all the time --- what I mean by that is once I start eating I just want to eat and eat and eat and eat ...... You are not alone in this!!!…

Thanks so much for your answers. So just keep going!!! Got it! Hugs, Dia

I am brand new here - but I have a 10 pound goal for March - I would participate in a 10 pound challenge :) Hugs - Dia
