Thank you sooooo much for posting. I had to save it and when feeling down I'll rewatch it over and over!

Thanks for posting this question as I was researching things to do myself. I don't have money for a gym, nor are there any in my local area. I work 12 hour shifts standing all day and the last thing I want to do is travel after work. i want to workout at home and don't have spare room to house alot of big, bulky equipment.…

Bump, don't have time to read this all right now, but its all great info

I did WW several times over the course of several years. I always had to go out of my way to find a meeting so I could weigh in. This bugged me. Plus my available time was hard to match up with there's. The one and only time I was successful was when I was able to go on their website and read other peoples post....just…

Thanks everyone. I will start by uping the activity status first. I currently have it at 'Light'. I just wanted to make sure I was eating enough, I know that's important. I wasn't sure what all is factored into our activity levels that help determine our calories on MFP. I weigh myself weekly and measure myself every 2…

I'm going to Disney World and have my picture taken with Pluto and Goofy!

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Definitely got to try those.

Oh my gosh! I just checked out the website and that I will definitely have to try. It sounds really good!

Ok, can everyone help me out? I want to try the recipe and would like to experiment as a rice substitution or in place of meat in chili as I am reading everyone's posts. I'm very confused as to what section of the grocery store would I find this in? Does it come in a box or a bag (so I know what I'm looking for)? And is…

Oh I never thought of that, great idea!

Thanks...I just went on line and filed for an extension. I realize I'll have to pay interest and a penalty on money owed. I wasn't aware there was websites for free filing for the 1040...I'll definitely check it out.

Feel free to add me as a friend, as we both have similar experiences. I have found that by looking at pics of me at the lower weight helps. Even though the weight I was at (after losing 74 lbs.) was a 'half way there weight', I was happy because I hadn't been there since High School. I kept a pair of jeans and shirt from…

I said it before and I'll say it again, you are truly an inspiration and motivate me!

I would thank them for their generosity, but explain...as much as you enjoy their meal and hospitality you don't want to hurt anyone feelings by eating a smaller amount of what they have made or possibly not eating it at all. As suggested maybe you can offer to help cook, that way pending the selection you can keep a…

A few years ago I began walking and used the food pyramid eating guidelines. I lost 74 lbs. When I first began walking it seemed like such a boring chore. I lost my breath just walking to the mailbox and back (live on 1.5 acres slanted downhill). A group of friends decided to walk daily, so I joined them. I was embarrassed…

Hi everyone! I'm 46, 5'6 and started mynew journey at 254lbs on 3/29/12. I haven't done serious lifting since Junior High when I threw shotput and discus but am very interested in starting back up. I haven't began a program yet. I just received word of going back to work tomorrow (laid off in winter) so over the next few…

Hi everyone! Glad to be in a group that looks like it just formed and fits my height. I'm 46, 5'6" and weighed 254 when I began my new journey to lose weight on 3/29/12. Feel free to add me as a friend so we can support each other along the way. I know it sounds like alot....but my current goals are 1). to avg 2 lb loss a…

Way to Go Girl!!

Like many others, words just don't come out....Wow! Totally inspiring!

bump....great ideas to remember

Wow thanks for a great topic! Saves me from asking. I understand, in a way, your perdicament. I'm a flagger for road paving companies. I just started my new weight loss journey and was trying to figure out meals and snacks that I can take to work. Its hard when your not even watching what you eat let alone trying to eat…

Thanks!

If you want to add a little bit more to the walking, I like the weight watchers "Get In Shape" video. It has 3 levels: low intensity/moderate/ high intensity. The first time I did it, I did break a sweat and some moves were a little awkward for me but the more you do it the better you get. Its aerobic movement with some…

Me Too !!!!!!

Thank you for this post. I'm so glad you asked as it helps me to think of my current situation. I have approx 100 lbs that I want to lose so loose skin is definitely a concern of mine but also pertaining to the wrinkling...I began doing traffic control as a flagger for paving companies, etc. I noticed from being in the sun…

Very inspiring...thanks to those who gave us their recipes

Don't be nervous, you've already made the first steps towards a new you! i too have over 100+ to lose. I'm 46, 5'6 and weigh 251. We can support each other, feel free to add me as a friend. It takes alot of small steps to reach the end of a long path, but eventually you can get there!!
