Hi Vikki, i am on here almost everyday and try to be motivational to all. Feel free to add me Basil

Start out by walking and after you are warmed up, jog a little. When you are starting to get out of bereath go back to walking until you can breathe again, then start jogging again. just keep up that routine and in a few weeks, you will notice you are jogging more and walking less, then you are on your way!! Good luck Basil

GREAT

Cyn, You obviously did great in losing the 30lbs. Now you have to adjust your eating habits and maybe have to cut out or at least cut down on some of the things you eat and improve on your eating. Also try to increase your workouts. This happens to all of us when we hit a plateau. Discipline is what it's all about Basil

It really takes self disipline. This program is great because if you get on it and clean up your eating and increase your activity, you will start to lose weight. How fast you lose it,is up to you. There are people here that have lost 100lbs and better. It takes time and discipline. When you start counting your calories…

I suggest you start a walking, jogging routine. Walk until you legs feel good, then jog slowly, when you are tired then walk. Keep repeating this for 30 to 45 mins. In a few days you will notice that you are joggong more than you are walking and then you are on your way. I don't know how old the pic in your bikini is but…

This is a health and fitness site not a social sight forpeople with issues that are not related to our purpose. I am tempted to make remarks but wont' Just take part in the site and YOUR issues will disappear Basil

WOW, what a tremendous job you did Jen. You went from really overweight to REALLY ATTRACTIVE!!! Just an amazing job!!1 Basil

You have to approach this site as a lifetime commitment like most of us have done. Miracles won't happen overnight. You have to stop eating fat foods and eat smareter. You also have to get more activity in your life. Wlaking is a good way to do it. Less calorie and more activity is the only long term answer. Don't eat ANY…

THERE SHOULDN'T BE AN END DATE!! When you reach your goal, then it is just manitenance. We have to make sure we don't slip back to where we came from. We want to either stay at our target goal or go ahead and lose more, if we need to. Basil

Breathing should be a natural thing. When you are running comfortably, thay say you should be able to talk normally. I have never felt like talking in all my years of running, about 40yrs. I have never had any knee problems. I read years ago that if you keep your legs going in a straight line, not flairing out then your…

Try by walking and then when your legs are warmed up, just jog a little, when you are winded or tired, walk again and just keep up that routine for several days. You will find that SOON you are jogging more than you are walking and then you are on your way. Running is by far the best way to lose weight along with improved…

WOW !!!!!!!! SUPER JOB !! Keep up the GREAT work !!!! Basil

Try going the same route for awhile and check your times. I think you will get satisfaction seeing that your time is geeting better and soon you will have to extend the distance to get the time. Basil

My feeling is always MODERATION!! Enjoy your birthday, Have cake and ice cream, but not large portions. Enjoy a great meal, but not hugh portions because ultimately we are going to pay the price. Once we get acustomed to moderation, it isn't a big deal. Depending on where you are on your program, this MFP thing isn't a…

At 6'2 ans 210 you ate HARDLY overweight. You are about my size. I've been running for about 25 yrs and NEVER had a knee problem. Doesn't mean that you won't. An important thing is to keep verything in line. It was explained to me years ago that the ankle, knees and hips make up a great shock absorber. You must make sure…

Not for me. I think if I ever stop enjoying life, stop running, stop looking at pretty women, or even average women, I MIGHT be getting old!!!! Basil

I think any negattive comments are jealous comments. You are the only judge!!!

Hi, We are all different and we gain and we lose weight differently. Use your husbands loss to motivate you, not upset you. He is healthier after losing that weight. You can do it also. it might take you longer. But if eat better and increase your activity, you are going to lose weight and by taking time to lose it, you…

Hi, I'm on almost everyday and I try to be motivational everyday, but you really have to be the one to motivate you. There are some great stories here of several ladies that lost 100 lbs. And a lot 20,30 40 50 and so on. Most have pics to see how they went from being fsat to being HOT I'd like you to add me so we can talk…

YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY!!! YOU WENT FROM A FAT NICE GIRL, TO A REAL FOXY LADY!!! Great work Basil

You are alwayus going to be at most a friend

It sounds as if your body is sauying " CUT BACK"

This is LIFE, not a prison sentance. Get back on the plan. Workout regulaly, but occasionally we have to reward ourselves. Just don't overdo it. We certainly don't want to go back to where we started. Fast foods, fries all weight loss killers. Best of luck!!! Basil

I have crushes on all of my lady MFP friends !!!! Basil

Listen to the doctor, You may be able to workout heavy without a problem, but is it worth the risk?? I think not, take the two weeks off, watch what you eat and you can catch up with your workouts when you are cleared !! Basil

You didn't say how much you weigh or your heigth. Without any fruits or vegggies you should have a plumbim=ng problem, but if not then you must be getting enuf ruffage. Basil

Great job, lost 84 lbs!!! Keep it up !!! Basil

WE ALL SEEK MOTIVATION AND YOU HAD YOURS HANDED TO YOU !!!!! Take advantage of it !!!!!! Basil 11

SWEET KAY, You are further along than you were when you started! We are only human and are going to slip occasionally. It's not the end of the world! Just get back to it, but don't make it so difficult that you can't live with it ! The whole idea is to start a program where you start losing weight. The you can increase it…
