It will happen just hang in there. I know a woman who had terrible numbers and she decided to only add exercise to her routine. She didn't change anything else. Her numbers changed dramatically. Have you been incorporating exercise into your lifestyle? If you are doing everything right, keep at it. Sometimes genetics play…

You are now my best friend for life! LOL - I'm 44.

Bless you! Nope. I'm 44. :)

OlibecaMom = 40?

^^^^^^ This! I had a doctor tell me this and show me on an xray where the calcuim problems were on my back. He told me, "Stop with the pop!!!"

I would say for the first few weeks of quitting smoking, do what you need to do to get through it. If you need to eat more, eat more. Get the nicotine out of your system and learn to control the cravings. See a doctor if you must. The smoking over the long haul can do so much damage. You don't want to ever find yourself…

My goal weight is 110 as well. It's a couple of pounds more than I was when I graduated high school, but I'm working on building muscle so I don't mind a few more pounds. Come to think of it I would still rather be 115 and muscular than 110 and soft.

Yesterday was almost a good day. My co-workers decided to go out for mexican food for lunch. I enjoyed my lunch! I decided to only have a smoothie for dinner (under 300 calories) to try and make up for it. I did get a second workout in yesterday. We had company stay the night and I can't workout this morning as it's in the…

I may run again someday. I've even worked through some of C25K and it really does work. However, running makes me miserable for some reason. I think about doing it and it depresses me. I feels like it rips my lungs out. On the other hand, I love climbing on an incline and cycling. I work harder doing that sometimes than…

Nice!

I think the term describes what I don't want to be perfectly. To me it refers to people who are in a healthy weight range but are unhealthy due to high body fat and/or lack of physical activity. I've known many, many people who fall into this category. I've known many smokers who stay thin due to the smoking but are not…

Congratulations! You look great.

You are an inspiration. Congratulations on your success so far. Keep it up!

Yesterday was good. I did my workout and my eating was good. I ate a few more calories for dinner than I would have liked but not a big deal. My husband cooked dinner and I enjoyed it. I did my strength-training workout this morning. My muscles feel like goo right now. 67 days until we leave.

Smoothie with 1 cup 2% milk, one banana, a handfull of berries of some sort, one packet of Splenda or Stevia, and a few ice cubes in a blender. It's yummy and somewhere around 275 to 300 calories. Yummy and filling.

The last 10 lbs is very hard to lose. I know anytime I bump up my exercise, I ALWAYS see a bump up on my scale for a week or two. It's happened to me enough that I understand it is my body holding on to water to heal my muscles. After about two weeks, the scale starts to go down again. Don't get discouraged. It will happen.

68 days until we leave. Yesterday was the best day I've had in a while. My eating was good. I got it two really good workouts. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. It made up for the two days of not working out at all. Things are starting to really firm up too. Bonus!

Way to go!!

I was having the hardest time fitting my workouts in at night. I was too tired and talked myself out of it everynight. Finally I decided I had to get my workouts done first thing in the morning no matter what. My alarm is away from my bed. I usually hit snooze and I lay back down and use that time to wake up. When it goes…

Wow. Such a dramatic difference. Congratulations!

Congratulations! I think you are right, feeling good about yourself is the key to taking care of yourself.

69 days until we leave for my daughter's wedding. I was out of town for a couple of days. One town one day another town the next. We got back late both days and I talked my self out of working out. I didn't eat completely clean, but I did make good choices and I did use portion control. I haven't stuffed myself in a long…

Athletic is my goal.

The sodium is a killer! I had Panda Express last weekend and paid for it for three days. I think I'll skip chinese for a while.

Way to go! It sounds like things are moving in the right direction.

Squats and Lunges. I did a bunch yesterday and my butt is screaming today!

Yummy!

I know someone who is going through something similar. This person told the doctor they wanted to try something natural first and if that didn't work, they would go on the meds. The doctor was very impressed that they didn't want to go on the meds right away. Here is what the doctor suggested. St. John's Wart, Vitamin D,…

Yesterday was good. I did my strength-training workout and my eating was good. I intentionally added more protein and calories so I wouldn't be hungry. I keep seeing people on here not eating enough and I don't want to live feeling hungry the rest of my life so I'm going to do this without being hungry. I really don't need…
