  • 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:
