It's great to acknowledge those feelings and then put your plan in place I think once you sort them out. The motivation that you need is there, you just have to figure out what that is going to be :-) When you do that, you will have struck gold, and then you can pass it on to the rest of us! Being patient is really hard…

Don't be discouraged! Plenty of people lose weight by walking and no other exercise is often required when you are eating healthy. I am glad you found this out without a serious incident, and can just try to get fit and stay healthy for your life..even though looking good makes us feel better about the undertaking. Wear…

Lol...that's so cool! Anything that grandma served was just plain better :wink:

What an inspiration to others like me..who are still trying every day! Just awesome !

I Knowwww...Reese's peanut butter cups...two great flavors ..outside first ..then inside ..:love:

I think Kenna is right about the scale..stay away from it for a month or so, and just live your life as a healthy eater. I only weigh every month or so, so that the scale does not factor in as a big deal. The food tracking is so much more important to me now than the number, and that is where I look for answers. Look at…

You are so right about the restrictive diet observation, and I know that I love sweets with coffee so moderation is the operative word...Chocolate is a fav too, but since I started a magnesium supplement, the craving has indeed stopped...funny thing about those foods we crave sometimes.

At my house that would be Dr. Spanx, available in the lingerie section of all fine department stores !:drinker:

This is an awesome recipe..I have most everything either in my herb garden or fridge so since we are due for 100+ temp today it sounds even better. Thanks so much!

I would love to see that recipe, I have a small vegetable garden and farmers market less than a mile away so this is my favorite season to try fresh recipes. I know my goal is to lose weight, and that has been a little slower than I hoped...BUT I feel better mentally and physically these days..so glad the highs and lows of…

Kenna, here is a lovely pizza recipe I have made, and it comes from a cookbook I got in Italy..Very light, and fresh if you are interested :) the most traditional recipe for pizza Pizza Margherita 1 oz or 1 envelope dry yeast 4 C. all-purpose flour..(whole wheat would work well I am sure, if you prefer) 1 Lb. plum…

There is a diet that is called The 17 day diet plan and it describes a little bit about keeping the body guessing by changing calories after 17 days at a time. It does work for most people, although I would guess early on the loss is water weight. BUT I tend to retain water so that is not a bad thing to shed. I, too, eat…

Please do, and put your spin on it! I hope to drive this route after I complete my journey, and see everything first hand .:smile:

I wear my pedometer each day and total my miles travelled on the map and then learn about the area as I "travel through". It has been a real motivator to walk each and every day..I unwind by reading up on the history and facts of places I am going through. My destination is Charleston SC, as I love the town and have…

I have been doing a cross country trek across the US from Chicago to Charleston SC on US HWy 52 for about a month. It's fun to plot the towns as the week goes by. My dog Charlie and I cyber walked about 110 miles last month and we are in Indiana after leaving Chicago. 100 miles was not that bad but I have an old fractured…

Congrats on the weight loss and reminding us to do this the right way:smile:

Good Luck on that new bike, and enoy that beautiful Ky countryside. Used to live and work in Lexington, and love the town. Go Big Blue! I am new to MFP and hanging in there, have lost 10 pounds since March. Have a ways to go, but feel better each week. Hope we can encourage each other over the coming months! :wink:
