I've been dealing with some personal issues at home with my kids and I was feeling all sorry for myself with that and then having to work a 10 hour day at work. Well I had packed lunch and dinner however, I just needed to get out and get some air and so I found myself at Spot Coffee. I used to frequent this coffee shop…

squats, dead lifts, lunges...

BABY STEPS woman!! Why make your goal so unattainable?? Do something like this... today's dinner I will make better choices and have the chicken with more beans passing on the potatoes. For snack I will have the popcorn instead of the bowl of ice cream (and nevermind if I eat the whole 3 cups of popcorn it is STILL better…

"If I want to obsess than that's my problem but no worries, my counselor and I are working on that but anyways, here, have another donut." (because usually those who talk to me like that are my friends who complain about being overweight and needing to get to the gym but never do!! As they're stuffing their faces with…

Depends on the machine and the features that you can input or change like speed, incline, age, weight,,,204 sounds about right for the tread. I don't think I get 515 burned even on the elliptical for a half hour.

try under strength training putting in deadlifts.

I find that more discouraging than encouraging so I just ignore it...because not everyday will be like today, and tomorrow just might suck!!

1100 calories while working on gramma's house isn't enough, body is gonna set itself into starvation mode. Make sure you're getting enough calories for the work you're doing, even if you have to pack almonds...

OMG at 42 I want to go to Tomorrowworld in Georgia! Definately on my Bucketlist!!

1. I joined a gym, got a trainer, and workout with him 4 days a week. 2. I'm the most active and fit than I've ever been in my life. 3. I'm in clothing sizes I haven't seen in over 20 years!

THIS EXACTLY and watch for sales cuz you can get compression capris for $10 sometimes!!

Layer 1/4 cup of plain greek yogurt, 1/4 cup bare naked protein granola (I used vanilla almond), and 1/4 cup fresh blueberries or raspberries, or organic strawberries. I make it the night before by morning the granola softens and it flavors the yogurt...mmmmm one of my favorite mushy breakfasts!!

I LOVE NSV postings!! :drinker:

Texas Roadhouse for dinner the first day we decided to log our food, OMG!! I was eating enough to feed 3 people in ONE meal!!!

bump!!!!!!!!!!!

Slap her with that bacon it's durable enough!!

Get a different trainer.

My first 20 plus pounds on MFP were lost with walking.

Yayyyyy LOVE this!! My boyfriend also had the machine for his apnea but hasn't used it since I started my weight loss journey and he jumped on board and lost a lot of weight too! It's a great thing those, NSVs!!!

I took it not knowing what was in my pre-workout and ended up in the ER just this past Wednesday for an OD on that and on Niacin, tread lightly with those things!! The directions on the package don't always apply to everyone!! And yes I was shaking like a crackhead going through withdrawals in the ER I couldn't even write…

Chicken ,turkey. beef (try to keep it lean if you can), fish, greek yogurt, mozzarella sticks (reduced fat), feta cheese, low fat cottage cheese, almonds and other nuts, protein shakes and bars. There's a lot out there ya just gotta read the labels.

PS your trainer should've told you, you will hurt for several weeks to a month before your muscle pains start to lessen (I couldn't even walk down steps or pee on the toilet without falling on to it!!)...and an FYI I've been at this for months with a trainer 4 days a week, I still am hurting almost every day with muscle…

YES!! I invested in a foam roller and they got me through a lot!!

HELP I have a couple friends in this group I just read their postings about this group and I quickly joined!! Can I get the workouts emailed to me??!! lmgodzik@gmail.com please please please???

YES!!! Every week a new one grows for me, it sounds so bizarre but I find myself rubbing my arms and legs constantly feeling the new muscles because I've never had them before!! Nice job when you can notice them growing, means you're working hard!!

Mine recently was this past Saturday I went to Kohl's and bought some clothes!! Now this may sound all stupid but I used to not fit into their clothes unless I went to the Women's plus sizes which i wouldn't wear because they had nothing but floral, polyester, or things my MOTHER would wear! Not only was I able to walk in…

Pict Sweet Edamame pods (OMG they're heavenly!) + Wegman's already cooked Honey Brine Turkey breast in the rotisserie department.

I LOVE pics, I feel like I'm on Dr. Oz!! hahahaha

Mozzarella sticks, greek yogurt, I buy rotisserie chickens or turkey breast and cut them into 2-4oz pieces and put them in baggies. They last me about 2-4 snack or meal times and they're chock full of proteins without any of the preservatives you find in lunch meat. I eat tuna fish (but trainer says not everyday), haddock,…
