^^ This! :)

Not to be disrespectful, but the first line in your profile "about you" section, OP is that you are married and have 2 teenage daughters. If I'm not mistaken, those are 2 things you listed in the beginning of your ramble of too much information being listed on the internet. I for one NEVER post my address, or phone…

I use the workout facilities at a community center...where my son also happens to attend pre-k in the morning. I can't imagine taking him with me to a big gym with no child care center and letting him have run of the place...it's not safe for him, myself, OR other people working out. Luckily, because the workout rooms are…

You look amazing! Great accomplishment!

My "enough is enough" moment was when I was trying to find capri's and shorts for the summer at Lane Bryant. Trying on my usual 22/24's was an eye opener and just so sad. So, I walked out of the store WITHOUT summer clothes and got serious about my weight loss. Since June, I'm down 9 pounds, and ended up buying my capri's…

I've only EVER had droids. I currently have the Galaxy S2. When I do upgrade, I'll go with the newest Galaxy they have (won't be elegible for an upgrade till March, I think) when that time comes. I personally have never had problems with any of my droids (aside from the MyTouch when they did the froyo upgrade, it bricked…

Agreed.

That's amazing! Great job! I can't wait to get to the point where my clothes fall off. :)

I try NOT to eat my exercise calories back. There are days though that I'm glad to have those exercise calories because I (insert any given excuse here: went to dinner and chose unhealthy, ate an ice cream bar, etc) and thus don't feel as bad for going over my calorie intake. Also, when I am dealing with that time of…

You look fabulous! And the reason YOU aren't seeing the weight loss in the mirror is because your brain is trained to see someone they aren't/haven't been happy with. I know that I'll be the same way when I can see the loss in pictures, but look in the mirror and still see a fat, unhealthy woman. :) Keep your chin up...and…

I agree with this. I do not like to friend people who net well below 1200cals a day, in junk food and LOSE more weight than I do. Now, if someone is netting below 1200 cals a day but eating very healthy (little to NO junk food), I will keep them on as a friend.

Best advice of all! My parents have a treadmill. They use it. I've used it a couple times...but find I work out WAY harder at the gym. I HATED the thought of working out in front of other people. Then after reading a post on these forums one day (someone wrote a sweet note/letter to the overweight girl they saw out running…

I rarely take a full portion of anything. I've measured, I've eye-balled it, I've just gone and guestimated. But, I find that, especially after measuring, I rarely take a full serving of anything anymore.

In the first 7 days of September...I believe I've done at least 10 miles worth of walking for the week. Some days have been better than others. Yesterday my step counter said nearly 17000...however I know that's not accurate for walking because I worked out on a stationary bike while wearing it...but I know I did at least…

Wow. Amazing journey! What an inspiration you are! Way to go on the weight loss!

My small win for the day will be a smiling kiddo when I pick him up from school in half an hour. :)

SW: 271 CW: 264.1 Small goal weight: 200 Ultimate goal weight: 150s I have to start small as far as a goal weight goes...or I'll fall off the wagon and give up. So, little goals work best for me. :)

Great ideas! I rolled my ankle a few years ago. I find it hurts more when I wear shoes all the time. But when I'm barefoot I can go all day and not be bothered. I think I'll have to try some of these ideas. :D

Congrats!! :)

How many years has our food been messed with? How long has buying organic been an option? Now, how many people out there older than 70 are still eating it and going strong? Seems to me it can't be THAT bad for us if people that old are still going strong, right?

Throw together a nice green salad packed with veggies. And then cook yourself a chicken breast and throw it in the salad. Switch up your seasonings on your veggies and chicken. We've got a load of different seasonings...so one night I might cook chicken but throw lemon pepper seasoning on it...and another night I might use…

Interesting question. And great response, cmriverside! On the OTHER hand, what about walking and pulling a wagon with a 40 pound kid in it? Yes, my son is old enough and able bodied and walks. But, he does not like being the short one in a crowd of tall people, so when we go to the zoo he usually rides in the wagon. And…

No idea. I'm just starting my journey. I'll have to follow this topic though to see what everyone says. I don't know if you've ever watched it, but I'm hooked on the Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition. And I've seen numerous people on that show want/need the surgery to remove the hanging skin...and most of the time, the…

30 was just another birthday for me. No big deal.

ROFLMAO!!! Or picking your nose...neither one of those is a good thing to log. :D

Wow. That sounds like someone I know. >_< (*cough243caloriesdoing60minutesfoodpreporcookingcough*) I rarely count my grocery shopping day as exercise...there's not a good way to determine just how much walking, at what pace, for the amount of time I WAS walking during my shopping trip. I'm TRYING to wear my step counter…

Just make sure your shoes fit properly is the only suggestion I have. I was in too BIG of shoes a year ago. Went in and had them measured properly at a running shoe store and found out my feet are actually smaller than what I thought. If you're feet slosh around at all is when you'll probably see/get blisters. I have super…

Way to go!! :)

It doesn't matter where you eat really. Just think healthy when you're looking over the menu. Salads are a great choice...as long as you go light on the dressing and it's mostly veggies (little to no meat/cheese). And if it's a HUGE salad (as most restaurants tend to be) only eat about half of it. Also, don't be afraid to…

I was just walking about 10 years ago and lost probably 10 pounds in a matter of 3 months. I'm going to start walking again this Saturday...hopefully every day for at least 30 minutes and see where that takes me (along with counting calories).
