I'm in! 4am here in Eastern Canada... 3 hours til I am off for 7, I love it.:)

I am 3 hours away from done! This is the end of my 4th 12 hour overnight and then I am off for 7 glorious days!

I liken it to a car -- even if you have NO fitness goals OR weight loss goals, it's still not a bad thing to fuel and move your body the right way... if you had a car that was not the ferrari that you lust after, you wouldn't put sugared gas in the tank or avoid oil changes just because it wasn't what you wanted and could…

OP, I feel your pain. I could never work in a vet hospital... I would want to punch every other owner in the throat. As lifelong pet and livestock owners, when our local small animal vet (who also doubled as large animal in our provincial government and so tended our livestock as well) retired and moved to Africa (no…

Wait, hold the phone... fries with gravy is strange?? I though it was just poutine... I happen to think chicken and biscuits is strange. Or biscuits and gravy.

I have been having a great deal of success with vanilla greek yogurt, granola and fresh fruit to tide me over for the morning for about 250 calories. When I am on night shift and eating before I go to sleep for the day, I'll add two eggs (or else I wake up before I want to). I have also been known to make little egg white…

If that dog was a doberman, this would be me at that age! Right from the expression, attitude, the appearance, everything.

LOVE IT!

Mine IMMEDIATELY lays on my yoga mat anytime I put it down. We have "brain matter transfer" time while I am planking - he lays there head to head with me - and when I do any ab work (laying on my back), he licks my face.

Only have the four legged variety. My 35lb miniature Australian shepherd is not clever, normally, but he is generally smart and a quick learner. In the world of positive reinforcement training, we always talk about intelligence of dogs when they use their paws to grab or access things instead of their mouth - we consider…

About three years ago, I started writing a blog for plus sized horseback riders and called it "A Fat Girl & A Fat Horse" -- because, well, both my horse and I, at the time, and still currently are fat. It is basically about not putting things off "until you're skinny" and living your life regardless - it was about the same…

I have been having 3/4C greek yogurt with 1/4C granola and berries on top for breakfast the last several mornings and it does a good job for several hours - there is, admittedly, a lot of sugar in all of that, but it does the trick. :) So I would say no to the OP.

Quoted for TRUTH.

I am being sincere and completely serious.
-
I am going to try to post here without getting too crazy... or nasty. At the end of the day, motivation is different for everyone but this is my backstory: I have always been fat (I was 10lbs11oz when I was born!). I am built enormous, I will never be a "petite" (and before you're like "big bones are a lie" - I am 6ft…

Maybe so, but that doesn't open them up for body shaming. Though clearly, a lot of people find them entertaining and DON'T watch them just to make themselves feel better - as evidenced by many responses on this thread. I don't think anybody has any right to HAVE an opinion about someone's body - negative or positive. With…
-
No, no it's not. Nobody has any right to make any commentary on anyone else's body in any capacity. Shaming is NEVER fair. Celebration of bodies is fair... you don't wanna celebrate? Then shut your mouth.
-
I love them. :) They are what they are, and they completely own that, and they're dealing with their lives. There have been some really sincere moments with Mama June in her interviews... she has also recently lost 100lbs. I think it's nice to see a family that is normal -- not perfect, by any means -- and not COMPLETELY…

Feel free to add me. I am a big woman (6ft tall, size 12 feet, etc) and I've lost and kept off 60+lbs - however, I still weigh in the 250-260 range and right now am focusing on loving myself, regardless of my physical state, and strengthening my body - less about weight loss and more about being the strongests, healthiest…

Zipped up my leather tall boots (for horseback riding) without too much struggle - calves are going down!
-
One thing that was really difficult for me at my highest weight was that I was CONSTANTLY putting things off "until I reach my goal weight". If I had kept up with that, I would be still living in my parent's basement, working at a dead end job. I DESERVED love, respect, admiration, that new job and the awesome apartment…

Tagging this for later reading..

I did this in April, it is a lot of fun - you surprise yourself! I did, however, develop hip pain (likely unrelated as it has been happening since March) so bad that I could barely walk at one point, so I did have to quit two days from the end. :( Hip is feeling better though.

Your weight can fluctuate a lot from day to day. Weighing everyday has never been anything but a source of frustration and a roller coaster of emotion for me. I now weigh weekly.
-
I had been eating consistently at or below my calorie requirement but not losing well, so I took a look at some "other" parts. My sugar consumption was 2 or 3 times what it should be and I was consistently over my sodium by 1000+mg some days. It is frustrating when the few "healthy" convenience foods that I do include in…
-
Not an uncommon "snack" for me. Or a pint of blueberries, too. LOL We are on both a "calorie budget" and a financial budget. When we do our groceries, we spend a whole afternoon, and hit two grocery stores, Costco and the local farmer's market. It is exhausting and we spend about $100/week but we get a ton of food for it…

I don't think it gets mentioned enough! I have a friend who runs half marathons and she showed me the stretches. My calves and my groin area were the spots of me that got the most tight if I didn't stretch before and after. That's miserable. Can't walk, can't sit, can't do anything without being sore. :P It only took me…

I trained for and completed my first 5K @ 260lbs. Admittedly, I walked a good part of the actual race because what I thought was nerves was actually a stomach flu. My profile picture is of me coming along the finish line. I am not currently running (though I am clocking 5-8KM per day walking between dog walking and walking…

SW: 250.6 7/27: 250.6 8/03: 249.4 8/10: 251 8/17: 251 8/24: 247.8 CW: 247 Geeze, it sure isn't going fast but at least it is going and I am losing "new weight" now. I was really hoping to be down to 245 this week, but that will be my goal for next week!

I have to second the Biggest Loser DVDs featuring Bob. I also am a fan of the Leslie Sansone DVDs... I found one (having never heard of her before) in the $5 bin at Zellers and it literally changed my life - I lost 40lbs just doing the video - really jumpstarted my decision to lose weight - but they are not overly…
