  • Thanks for the ideas Florawanda! Recently I discovered yoplait dessert selections yogurt, they've been really good as a snack lately. And they satisfy my sweet tooth!
  • My gym has soap dispensers on the wall of the showers, but I've never used them so I have no idea if they have soap in them or not. I prefer to bring my own...
  • Thanks for the suggestion PaleSpectrum! I love avacados but usually with other things like mayonaise, some chopped veggies and of course tortilla chips! I'll have to try them without all those extras sometime and see how I like them.
  • Carrots and hummus are a great combo, Thanks for your suggestions!
  • Those are some great ideas! Thanks for sharing danigirl1011!
  • Wow Palespectrum and Florawanda, you're both doing really awesome! I'm currently going to the gym 3-5 times a week and usually start off with 40-45 minutes running on the treadmill. My speed is around 5.4/5.5 on a 1% incline to give some resistence. Then I do either an upper body workout or a lower body workout. I…
  • Florawanda, Enjoy the Birthday party, I'm sure you'll look great :happy: Congrats on your grandchild! I'm trying for 2lbs per week (give or take a little, we all had a bad week once in a while) but I'm trying to focus more on fitness goals and eating properly. So this said my goals are as follows: - Run a 5k september 2012…
  • I was a pretty normal weight as a child, I was also very physically active (loved running, baseball and vollyball) until I was about 12 years old. Thats when I started to gain weight, my family had moved to a new city, I started a new school and wasnt outgoing or confidant enough to join team sports that I'd enjoyed…

My motivation has been a desire to avoid becoming diabetic (my mother is diabetic and the doctor said i'm next if I dont drop some weight) and just wanting to live a healthier lifestyle. I'm in…
  • Hello LuLu! Feel free to add me too! I currently have 64 lbs to go, it can definitely feel daunting at times but it sounds like you have a good start so far. I'm a fan of video games and my Fiance just got a kinects for the xbox. OMG soo much fun! Have a great day!

  • I don't remember ever having been a normal weight. I've struggled with my weight since childhood so there's really no definitive period where I gained it all. I put my current heftiness down to a lack of understanding nutrition, emotional eating and a strong love of all things chocolate and carb.
  • I can see how tempting the snickers bar would be! Chocolate is a weakness of mine too. Its great that you have your wife's support :)
  • Hi there! I'm new to this site too. I know the frustration of gaining back weight you've lost. Just keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll get to where you want to be :)
