Thanks everyone. Still on my high

I had it done and I will never regret it. I was not at my target weight and as I have lost weight since then (I had it done almost 6 years ago) there was no serious reduction in size. It helped with exercise and was such a relief on my shoulders and back. And honestly being able to buy bras with tiny straps and only one or…

I am in. I did it back in April, not quite in May due to illness and finals, but I am back on track. So far this month 17.8 km all walking.

Do you have a smartphone? Download the app Cardio Trainer and turn it on. It will register how far you walk, and speed. I live by this app. It gives you a calorie reading and is just amazing.

I do not squeeze the lemons. I just cut up a few slices and throw it into the pitcher of water. I also add berries right into the water. Cucumber is a good one too. I fill up a pitcher of water before going to bed and put whatever I find in it. The flavor is in by the next morning. Though I also love Ice cold water... got…

Great ideas and many sound very good. Can´t wait to try some.

1. My children 2. Ice Cold water with Lemons 3. Frozen Red grapes 4. Walking 5. Seeing smaller numbers on the scale

Fresh fruit is very expensive here so buying it frozen usually comes out better for me. However, I do buy bananas and spinach and freeze both of them.

To walk 160 km (last month I did 153 km) which is slightly more than 5 km a day To get out of the obese BMI and to get down to 89.9 kgs, currently at 93.9. To be able to run for a full 10 minutes. I am currently able to run 5-6 without keeling over.

Good job. Crossing small milestones keeps us motivated. Keep up the good work

1. Magenta 2. 93.9 kgs (207 lbs) 3. 89.9 kgs (198 lbs) I walk at least 5km a day plus go to the gym anywhere from 3-5 times a week. The next ten days will be difficult as I am taking finals but I plan to stay on track :)

I guess I am lucky, the tap water is amazing, and even bottled and sold in the US. When in the US I only drink Iceland Spring Water, only because I know exactly where it comes from.

We are human, and we do make mistakes, but we should learn from them not be embarrassed. I would be more than willing to give you some encouragement when needed. Dont beat yourself up. We all do it!

Count me in

I have a similar situation. The neighbors actually complain if I shower after 10 pm and actually asked me not to flush the toilet between the hours of 10 pm and 8 am. My answer was a plain and simple, no. You are well within your rights of working out, and I assume you are not stomping too loudly. Your health, your home,…

AWESOME!

Thanks. I went out for a walk and that cleared my head and I will break even today. I go to the gym 3-5 times a week so I am getting in more than just a walk each day, but walking is my go to exercise when I need to clear my head. Thanks again for the support, coming back in and seeing others going through this is helpful.…

I would love to join

My goal is to lose 24 more kgs. I have target dates for my next goal but I hope to be done by Feb 2013. My next target is to be down 5 kgs by May 31. I reached my target weight for April 30th last Thursday so I hope to keep it up.

Burpees, Lunges and push ups! I hate them all. I have slowly been adding them back into my work out, after suffering from illness for 6 months.

Hello Bella, Four pounds is an awesome start. :) I am new to this as well and have lost 3.4kgs (7.4 pounds) and have 24.9 kgs to get to my goal weight (about 55 lbs) Keep up the good work, just one step (or pound) at a time

I am no expert but I walk a lot! Last Saturday I walked 19.9 km. I walk anywhere from 5-20 km a day, both indoors and outside. I started this in April and I have lost 2 cm off of each thigh and a little over half a cm on each calf. I think you should give it a try.

English and Icelandic

I am new to this as well. I have tried before but with a way to hectic schedule (excuses excuses :) ) I found I could not stick to it. Now my schedule is less hectic. I have only been at it for 10 days but I have lost 5 pounds. I find when I am craving sweets that fruits are the best way to go. I love frozen grapes. You…
