Reaching for carbs is so easy....I have started keeping an apple in the car for my drive home - along with a bottle of water. I eat the apple and try to drink the whole bottle before I get home. That puts a serious stop to the picking and bites when I get home. But really you need to ask yourself before each and every food…

My compliments have come from a few. I am down 36 pounds and I think for my co-workers its been harder for them to notice because the weight has come off slowly over the last 10 months and I haven't made any proclamations or talk about my food or fitness regimen. However I was at a business conference last week wearing a…

Well, hey there Handsome!... Congrats to you!

I try to remember to slow down and ask myself "does this choice fit in my plan for the day?". If it does I eat it. If not, I will choose something else. It gets easier every day!

they say things come in 3's, but I'd get a lottery ticket just in case :flowerforyou: Congrats!

A very good analogy I have heard is looking at your life in 4 quarters - like a football or basketball game. The best conditioned athletes can play a strong 4th quarter. But you must play a smart first half. Stay aggressive, pace yourself. Enter the 3rd quarter winning the game. Do not become complacent. Injuries and…

Had to switch to a different belt this morning. First one didn't have enough holes. Belt was looser than pants!

Maybe he thinks he is being motivating and supportive. I often feel sorry for men...they honestly try hard. Men and women are wired differently and process things in VERY different ways:wink: I think the best thing to do is to have an honest discussion with him. Do not accuse him of anything. Tell him how you feel. Tell…

Thank you for sharing your story. You should be very proud of yourself for many reasons. What comes to mind is because of your struggle and willingness to fight and experiment with trial and error, over and over...you have helped blaze a medical trail for others. Your name will be part of history and your story shared…

the new zipper front bra by Victoria Secret - can t remember the model name. It has very nice support for my 36C. Better than any Nike, Champion or other common brand I have tried. The thing I love most is getting it off and on. No more wrestling match! Zip on. Zip off. Done.

you look fantastic and younger!!! Congratulations.

I used to travel a lot - mine was flying to my destination and then traveling by car. One of the first things I always did when I arrived was find a grocery store. I would load up on snack-able items for car and hotel. many fruits and veggies, bagged salad and dressing and many other things already mentioned. Even canned…

This a truly great post. I love Go Kaleo, now I love you too!

At the moment I am short on clothing that fits. I started my road to fitness in January squeezing into 12's. I have been wearing some baggy 10's and now even some baggy 8's (that I JUST bought! :noway:) So I went to Goodwill yesterday - because I cant afford any new clothes that wont fit in a couple months - and dang if I…

sodakat, I agree about MFP. When I don't log is when I overeat....Usually not a day or two... it's a week or two. THEN I notice on the scales and my clothes. I need MFP to keep me accountable. I don't rely on other people, just me and my diary.

Thanks for the encouragement. Although this is something I really want to accomplish I will not be crushed or feel a failure if I fall short. I know I have worked hard and my successes and slips are mine to own. But even if I don't lose another pound, I am happy that I did it slowly and without any pills or programs. What…

You are doing it! Keep up the positive self talk. You look great - and so much stronger!

uhhh-mazing! I am totally impress with your running. Oh! and that dress? It and you are just beautiful! you are doing fantastic, really you are. Slow and steady wins the race.

if your budget allows check into an electric pressure cooker (can be used as slow cooker too) I would not trade mine for anything! All the foods I love in a fraction of the time....and all I do is put the lid on.

oh yes...I have been a quitter all my life. About a month ago I set out to run 3 miles on the high school track. I laid out 12 stones to kick 1 aside on every lap. After about 1 mile I was ready to quit. I practically screamed in my own head..."DAMMIT, JUST ONCE FINISH WHAT YOU START OUT TO DO!!!" I did and was immensely…

I usually log in the morning for the whole day. That way I know what I can eat and when. Logging is the only thing that keeps me accountable. I took a break a couple months ago and my weight crept up a couple pounds. Started back and promptly lost about 4 pounds in 2 weeks. Yeah I can start obsessing too, but I find if I…

Taking my shirt off to get in the shower and caught a glance in the mirror with my arms up. I could see the outline of all my ribs!

Wonderful and amazing results!! I work with a trainer and we do only body weight workouts, minimal cardio. I do some lifting on my own, but this is encouraging. Weight loss is nice, but being fit is my ultimate goal. Great job!

I feel honored that you shared your story...well the beginning of your story! A poster on my wall reads: "Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. Time will pass anyway" Earl Nightingale Friend request sent. Thanks you.

My (now ex) husband and I had been living together for about 5 years and talking about marriage for some time. He kept an open mind but we had been putting off for a long time. One day a commercial was on TV and had some sort of model showcasing something or another..out of nowhere he commented "if you looked like that I'd…

Bad story: When training for my first and only marathon, drove quite a distance to a rails-to-trails for one of my long runs. I was really looking forward to it. There was literally no one around early on a Sunday morning. This particular trail is very secluded and wooded at parts. Only a couple miles in I was running…
