Veggie Omelet and Fruit for Breakfast after 30 Minutes on the Treadmill. Hash and Eggs with Fruit for Lunch. Strength Training and Walking DVDs later. Dinner = Pork Chops & Veggies or .... ?

I started out at 318 pounds. I lost 178 pounds but have gained about 40 Pounds back. I'm working on getting back down to my Goal Weight this year.

Be sure your Workouts include building up your Chest Muscles? Seems like that might be beneficial. But, truthfully as you continue to get more Fit, you will be proportionate, and all the Benefits Of THE Crossfit Strength Training will far Out Weigh losing a few Bob Inches. The Inches that remain will look FAN-DAM-TABULOUS!!

Welcome, and Good Luck on your journeys!! Tracking your food and getting active are your Keys to Success! And don't expect to be "Perfect" You Will mess up. But when you do, learn from it and move on immediately. There is no time for Guilt Trips or calling yourself Bad Names.

You can definitely do this!! Try not to think of it as a "Diet". It really IS learning a New Lifestyle and teaching yourself a New Way to deal with Stress, or whatever your "Trigger" Situation or Emotion is.

I use the Fitness Tracker on SparkPeople.com and just put their numbers on MFP. LIVESTRONG.com also has a Calorie Calculator, I believe, but I am not as familiar with it.

I see NOTHING Wrong with the Gym being "Your Time" and not wanting to share it with a Boyfriend or Husband -- ESPECIALLY since he has a membership somewhere else. :frown: If you have told him that you prefer to work out alone, and he continues to ignore that, I would say that it is an Alarming Symptom of his disrespect for…

AWESOME Information!! Will be sharing this!!!

:drinker: Found a Barbell with Four 10 Pound Weights on it at Goodwill for $15. I carried it from the back of the Store to the cash register at the front, paid, and carried it out to the car (which was parked at the FAR Outside Edge of the Parking Lot!) without ANY Assistance!!

:drinker: Sounds like My Kinda Friend! I may or may not comment, and (sadly!) sometimes I don't even 'Thank You' for your comments on my page. But I am thinking of you, and I Do Appreciate knowing that my Friends are there for me if I have a Question.

:drinker: Bumping just to Listen/Learn from the conversation.

Bumping for ideas!:flowerforyou:

:love: These look AWESOME!! I must try some of them SOON!!

:ohwell: I miss having a Curves near by SO MUCH!! Nothing against boys, but I really don't like being the Only Girl in the Gym no matter how nice the Boys are. :flowerforyou: I'm happy to stay in touch with other Curves Girls!! And I'm glad that you are enjoying your Workouts!!

:flowerforyou: It is good to see you again!!

When I started out, the only real Walking I could do was at Wal-Mart using a Grocery Cart like a Walker. It was not "Fast" at all. But it WAS Consistent. As others have said "Any Movement Is Better Than No Movement" You can even 'March' while sitting in your chair. Get your arms moving too. Most Importantly, Be Consistent,…

:drinker: The first time I got on an Elliptical, I lasted 2 whole minutes! I thought all the people who LOVED the Elliptical were Crazy, LOL!! Now I am able to do 20 minutes or more!

Between YouTube Videos and Leslie Sansone DVDs there is No Excuse for not Walking regardless of the Weather. It only takes a small area and you can bump up the intensity with small hand held weights, or even carrying Soup Cans and using them for Resistance.

Resistance Bands and Exercise Videos on YouTube.

Spending quality time with the Kids at Church is Worth a few Extra Long, Extra Hard Workouts at the Gym. Same with the time with your Grandparents. Maybe you could take some Fresh Veggies or Fruit with you when you visit them on Saturdays? It is never Too Late to create New Traditions with our Social/Family Activities.

Nope. Although I personally would want some Vegetables, he was making a Valid Point.

Could be Sodium causing the Water Gain? Just trust the Program and keep making Good Choices. :heart: Very happy you made it to Curves safely!!

:drinker: We are making Progress!! Dec 6 = 15.51 Miles Dec 7 = 14.33 Miles Dec 8 = 7.57 Miles :flowerforyou: Grand Total = 2308.55 Miles

Dec 2 - Dec 5 = 38.36 miles Team Total = 2241.24 Miles

:drinker: 9.24 Miles today = 2202.88 Miles

:flowerforyou: I am so sorry that I fell off the wagon!! And I am so Happy that you have continued the Journey! I have done 42 miles this week, so I can add that if you let me back in?:heart: Team Total would be - 2,193.64 Miles

My Mother has always said she wants Roy Clark's Version of "Thank God And Greyhound She's Gone" played at her Funeral.
