Love that Anderson silva is at the top of your list-very rightfully so!

Say someone positive about your body!Your working on becoming healthier-your attitude makes a big difference.I looked at your diary your doing great!

I haven't tried it,is it good?To bonnie you really do have to try it on to see how it feels-move around in it.

LOL I was bleeped for saying the name of a sporting goods store!!!!!D^Ick's is not a bad word!Seriously lol

Depends on your size and what activity you will be doing..?I've found some at target that are good,****s has some good ones too.For high impact I really suggest going to a smaller size to control painful bounce.

Luna bars ( chocolate peppermint stick is my fav),Lara bars,Slim fast bar,Luna protein.Good suggestions here-I'll try them out too.Have you made your own smoothies or protein shakes before?There are also bottles at grocery stores and has stations like Naked or Bolthouse farm smoothies with protein.

Really awesome replies here.In my experience a change in food and activities can help you lose weight-I was stuck at a plateau for a while.Carry water bottles absolutely everywhere and constantly refill them-about one or two per hour.Eat healthy snacks so you don't get overly hungry.Keep sneaking in…

I've found some amazing things at goodwill:awesome black dress boots,brand new clothes with all the tags on,Halloween costumes for much cheaper than costume shops.

Big success!Keep up the amazing work!

Congrats!You look very healthy-keep up the great work!

Happy to see this post.Lots of good advice here.Lifting burns a lot of calories,makes you leaner,gives you more energy.Would you rather have a small number on the scale or a flat stomach?I measure myself and keep track of how many inches I have lost.Are you eating protein after your workout?

Love the shadow!

I literally have been on bikes my whole life-yes baby carrier on back (I know its not legal don't yell at me I was the baby!)I love the Honda Shadow,and Rebel.Nice to meet other bike people.:)

I have got to remember that!

Hi Sarah!Welcome to MFP:) Feel free to add me I'll try my best to be as supportive as possible.Keep up the great work!

I understand why you would think that of you haven't seen women bodybuilders or a very fit buff women.Im a size 16 right now and I'm toned and smooth with a small waist(yes still have womanly curves hourglass figure)

Wow replies coming in fast!Do you need approval from others=heck NO!Ive been thinking about this lately too,when you feel comfortable do it.Dont listen to nasty criticism.Be confident and love yourself:)

Whoa as a P.C.A. Nurse let me first say:please understand that the person saying your bones"shrink"as you lose weight was confused or misinformed!! I agree with making your diary open to the public to get good ideas,suggestions,and tips.Sounds like the first problem is your not eating enough.Cutting processed food is…

That's amazing-congrats!

Hi Rachael!Welcome to MFP,it true the community here can make a big difference.Feel free to add me:)

Love these pics!Ive had really red,burgundy,copper red,pink,blonde,brown,now I shaved my head.I think I might try the subtle peacock one-that was beautiful.

Welcome to MFP!!I will check out your diary and give any helpful advice I can.Feel free to add me:)

As a nurse there are a lot of things not listed that could be causing/contributing to the problem:has she had her thyroid tested,anemia,hypergylcemia(thats HYPER not hypo big difference),Chrohns disease,ulcers,etc.What kind of pain is she experiencing?Any other issues going on?In general I recommend yoga for total body…

That does depend on a lot of things-how much your eating&burning,stretching,etc.I'd reccommend making your diary public there are some very helpful advice people here.Sounds like your doing a great job!

Welcome to MFP!Feel free to add me for support.I'm Rose:)

Yep seems right,did you do any weights?

Hey Debra!Welcome to MFP.Congrats on making your first step to a healthier life,more energy,and more confidence.I'm Rose feel to add me-anyone.:)

My husband is the same way.Id recommend chilli with textured vegetable protein (TVP) or Morningstar/or gardien beef substitute.TVP comes dried in a bag in the health section.Gardein also has yummy chicken substitute.

Wow congrats!How do you feel?

I haven't tried that one yet,I work out 6-7 days a week but everyone is different.I do a lot of yoga and stretching.
