That is amazing!! You should rightfully be super proud of your accomplishment, and way to stick with it even with the surgery. Life has ways of throwing road blocks in our path. It is up to us to find a way around them and you have done just that! Good for you!!

Four short years ago when my senior daughter was a freshman, I promised myself that her senior year I would not feel fat, lack self confidence, and hide in over sized sweatshirts at key times like her senior night, graduation, senior carnival, etc. Tonight is our first Senior/Parent meeting and amazingly, I FEEL SMOKIN…

It's simple. Let him know that the "open door policy" is a two way street so you would like a set of keys to his place, and in the future would be coming and going as you please.

Agree on the over abundant nakedness in the locker room. I am at my gym every morning. I shower there, and get ready for a professional job there. I am by no stretch of the imagination a prude. I step out of the shower in a towel, and when dried off, put on my clothes. If I am too hot still from the workout, at the minimum…

New year, new hopes, new dreams, new goals and challenges! SW: 189 CW: 154.4 GW: 140 I have no idea if it is even possible for me to get to 140, but what the hell - I'll give it a go! Screw setting a resolution on New Years Eve. Making one now to have the best New Years possible makes a whole heck of a lot more sense! What…

I'm sorry but I sincerely do not want to see photos of you in every bikini possible, posing in the water and on the beach, like a bikini model. Don't care how great your body is.... THINK ABOUT YOUR POOR HIGH SCHOOL SON!!! Knowing your friends are drooling (and more) over your mother can not be a fun thing! Poor kid!

Thanks so much for all of your insight! I sincerely appreciate it. Mind if I add you as a friend so I can occasionally pick your brain? Diane

Great information, thank you! I will keep that in mind with weights. Sadly, yes, I do run 6 days a week. I am up to 73 miles for the month of September, so far. But, I do not hurt. I live in Alaska where the weather is wet. Most of my miles are on a treadmill, so it is forgiving. Only 1 day a week (maybe if the weather…

I so agree with you! My alarm goes off at 4:45 - 6 days a week. I am running 4 to 6 miles a day, depending on how my body is feeling. I am new to running and it has taken up some time to get my distance up to this level. One day, I would love to do a half and work up to a full - but shhhh that's a secret. I have yet to add…

Was 190 pounds, 7 years ago. Got serious, stared working out and eating right and got down to 135. Best shape I had ever been in. Held onto that for about 2 years... and in the blink of an eye, I was 189. Sigh. Stayed that way for a long time. Was to lazy, to involved in kids lives to put myself first. Finally about a year…

WOW! You are an inspiration! What an amazing transformation!!

That is terrific!! It gets easier as we get more and more conditioned. When I started running it was pathetic! Kill myself running a minute/walking a minute, two minutes/a minute, three minutes/a minute, etc... I am now up to running 5 miles every morning and only stopping to walk for a minute after each mile. Love the…

Great sense of humor! I love it! Added you as a friend.:flowerforyou:

Welcome :flowerforyou: I am eleven days in and love it so far. Down 4 pounds. Add me! Let's all get motivated and do this together!

To be honest, Hypothyroidism is the pits! I was diagnosed in 2008. It took a long time getting the medication levels where they should be. I currently take Synthroid and Cytomel together. It seems to work with all of the side effects of hypothyroidism. No the weight once your meds are stable does not fall off, dang it…

Sorry....don't even know what it is!! Enlighten me please! (o;

Bump. Great ideas!

Dahling- you wear the blue shadow well (o;

BRAVO! That is exactly what I would like as well. Well said!

Fitbit also integrates with MFP, which is nice.

Go to www.fitbit.com It is like a body bug, only not as detailed and without a monthly membership fee. Essentially it is a pedometer on steroids. It tells you steps taken, mileage gone, number of stair floor taken, calories burned. You also wear it at night on your wrist. It tells you how long it took to fall asleep, how…

Yay! Thank you!
