I know feeling too fat to go to the gym is all in my head, I just can't seem to get over it. My worst fear is having people laugh or ridicule me as I huff and puff on a treadmill, eliptical or with weights. Plus, I've never been one to workout in front of people. I still have trouble feeling comfortable working out during…

sounds really yummy--saving this one for later :happy:

I love Richard Simmons!! I used his workout VHS tapes the first time I ever exercised. The Blast & Tone DVD is great, my girls and I love to do Dance Your Pants Off and I love his 30 minute tapes if I need a quick workout with some good music: Disco Blast Off, Mega Mix Blast Off, Latin Blast Off and Broadway Blast Off. I…

I just started hatha yoga with The Biggest Loser: Yoga for Weight Loss DVD. I have done it for a couple of weeks every other day. I offset it with the Cardio Max because I figure I need a "down" day, but honestly, I don't know how yoga can be a "down" anything. It has been hard for me....LOL I am getting better and I have…

<<<<34 pounds gone in less than two months AND it is the first picture I have taken in a very long time that I can look at and say I look good. It's been a long time coming. Can't wait to see what the next 34 lbs lost brings :-)

I could be wrong, but I usually split it up---for my videos I do a 5 min mild stretching, the 25-35 minute high cardio, circuit or whatever and then the 5-10 min stretching yoga (only because I know that is what is at the end). Like I said, most would probably say I'm wrong, but it is what I do........

So happy for you! Congratulations, hun!!!

My momma used to call me Sweet Pea when I was little and 82 is the year I was born :flowerforyou:

Oh, we have had a few: Herbie (pomeranian poodle) Rags (beagle mix) Buster Bunny Boo Boo Bernard (sharpay, pit bull mix) Caramel (mutt--looks like her name) Gypsy (Caramel's mom--mutt) Rolo (cat) Rocky (cat) Echo (cat) Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (cat--kids named her, guess what their favorite movie was...lol) Keegan (cat)…

I had a tumor that had started in my throat and even after chemo had to go through an 11 hour surgery. The tumor started in my throat and went behind my chest wall. It actually started to enroach on my heart. Because of the surgery, I have a scar across my throat and down my chest. I hate it. I admire you for wearing a…

read them and liked them :bigsmile:

I met my husband when I was 17, he was 24. Got married when I was 18 and he was 25. Age difference bothered him (and my parents) a little at first, but it has never bothered me. Happily married for 11 1/2 years now and 2 great kids. Can't complain :wink:

I love Jif extra creamy pb...have 1 tbsp every morning on my toast and I have lost weight. :happy: Don't listen to the guy. Love the ideas above though about Natural Jiff....I may have to look into that :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: AGREED!

I just started about a month ago myself, but here are my five: 1. Bath Towel fits around me now 2. I'm in a size 20 jean which I haven't been in about 12 years or so. Feels great and I can't wait to keep going down! 3. I can get up at 5 am energized and ready for my workout 4. I have a newfound love for weights :love: 5. I…

28 lbs in about a month...weigh in tomorrow!! :happy:

I'm Sexy and I Know It :glasses:

I used to hate to sweat, I mean, really hated it. It would make me feel like a fatso, dirty, disgusting person. Today, after my workout (gotta love weights!!) I was getting ready to shower (b/c I MUST after a workout) and I looked in the mirror and there I am, red faced and sweating and for the first time, I smiled at…

feel free to add me. we can journey together! :flowerforyou:

I don't have cheat days. Like other people have posted, once I have "one" cheat day, it turns into two and three and then I'm eating all the junk and nothing healthy. But, if I want something (pizza, chocolate, chips) then I work it into my calories for the day. I don't go over and make sure I excersise. I think it is all…

^so true--I was a 40KK and no amount of excersise was getting rid of them. I did a reduction in 2010 and even though the first four to five weeks were rough it was all worth it when I went into a regular store on Jan 1 2011 and bought 8 bras of all different colors in a 38DD. Good luck on your journey!

In a way, I was the opposite. Before I joined MFP, I thought I ate a LOT, so my first thought was to stop eating. When I signed up for MFP and actually logged what I ate the first three days while excersising, I had less than 1,000 calories a day and then counting excersising, I netted less than 800 on some of those days.…

I'm an accountant for a manufacturing company. A lot of sit down time from 8-4:30. I have two girls so I get up at five am with my hubby and do my workout from 5:45 to about 6:30 or so. If I want to take a walk at lunch though, my boss is super nice about it. When I get home, I try to play softball or something with the…

Sounds great!! Thank you!! I'm going to soo try this one!!

i may have to try this! sounds good!! thank you! :flowerforyou:

It starts with one day at a time hun. You have to keep in mind that it will not happen overnite. Don't think about eating healthy every single day for the rest of your life or every single meal in a day, you will drive yourself nuts and will want to quit before you start. Start slow. Tomorrow instead of eating an unhealthy…

Add me if you would like :smile: I would love to help you out!

I'm 5'5" and started out at 254 with size 22 pants. I have been in size 22 jeans forever. I have lost 24 pounds. I actually wore a size 20 jean the other day all day. They were a little snug, but I wore them! I have a lot of weight in my hips and stomach. Trying to work on that. My advice to you is to stick with it. You…

I was 17 when I got engaged, 18 when I got married and 19 when we had our first daughter and 22 with the second. Happily together for 13 years this summer and married for 12 in November. 23? that's a long time to wait! LOL. I also went to college for four years and got my BA degree in 2006 while my husband was in…
