I have to tell you, my lovely sister... that your Father.. your HEAVENLY FATHER, the One who created you, still recognizes you and knows every single hair on your beautiful head! Humans are so flawed and jaded, that they often let us down. (Heck, I have to admit that I myself am guilty of letting people down more than a…

Sister, I feel your heart in this! This is a deeply moving time for you and I encourage you to continue to press into Him as He opens your eyes to His Will in your journey. He is reaching out to you and replacing the food and the other "junk" in life with what you truly crave, and what we were really MADE to crave, HIM.…

Love it! :)

Hmmm... I am not sure abt whey protein bars yet.. but I can tell you that LUNA makes a SUPER yummy and oh-so-good for you line of bars that are wonderful for when you can't get a meal in or you need a boost of carbs mid-day (or even if you are late for work and no time for breakfast). they are made for women, and have the…

Hello Friend!!! I started here in May. I was 209. I am currently 153. My goal date is December as well! YAY! I wanted to feel like a new lady for all the Christmas parties and plus I wasn't very pleased with the way I looked in last year's pics. :sad: You can SO do this! It won't be easy, but it WILL be worth it! Simply…

YOU SIR, ARE AWESOME! :happy: What a VICTORY FOR YOU TODAY! I am over here in tears for you! Its like I can feel your heart in this! Brother, I have never been able to run until a month ago! God has taught these little feets to RUN! Now I can't imagine doing well enough to get a real life MEDAL! WOW! But man, you did it!…

When faced with a question like this... I tend to want to know, what does God say about this? I mean, you want the average Joe to give you their opinion.,.. why not ask THE ONE? The One who made you? The One who you pray to when things go wrong or you are in a jam? Or The One you may just beg to get you out of the sticky…

AMEN!

Is it possible that you are in a state of ketosis? Are you seldom hungry? Does your breath naturally have a berry like smell to it? Do you have increased energy? When I am in ketosis... I notice the same thing, I read on it, and apparently, this is a common thing. Just something to consider, friend! But hey, I am of the…

Sister, You are precious, lovely, and wonderful. Do not fear judgement from anyone. Period. Here or anywhere else in life. I don't even know you, but I know the One who made you and knows you intimately. (Jeremiah 1:5 "I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb.") Love you! Kimi

AGREED!!!!

Actually Topamax causes weight LOSS not gain. :) i have been on it since April of this year for migraines as well. I take 100mg at night. There is a large amount of info available on the internet about this very topic, where people have lost MASSIVE amounts of weight on topamax. However, as with ANY prescription that has…

Forgive me, friends! I think I got a little prophetic this morning and mistakingly reported that I was down 39.75 inches, when in actuality I am down 39.25. :) Hope you can forgive my error. Give me a week or two and I will make it accurate, though! lol

Sure! I made a spreadsheet in excel (well, open office, but most ppl use excel).. I track every week, and here are my beginning numbers: STARTING Date Inches NECK 04/30/12 14.5 ARM 04/30/12 14 BUST 04/30/12 49 WAIST 04/30/12 42 HIPS 04/30/12 46.5 THIGH 04/30/12 26 Now here is last week's: WEEK SIXTEEN Date Inches NECK…

Hi! Let me "unpack" that statement abt failing at WW. lol I can see how that can 'read poorly'. I don't think I was able to really apply the healthy eating principles to the points system that WW implements. I live in a rural community where getting to a meeting was not really a viable option for me. So when using the WW…

The very fact that you are here is an inspiration to so many people, my friend. WOW! You are not behind the starting line ANY MORE! You, my sister.. are ON THE TRACK NOW! The race has begun! You are in this! I am SOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU! WOO HOO~!!!!!! You can do this! Promise!!! Just stay focused in EVERY MOMENT! Don't let…

UPDATE!!!! I FINALLY broke my 60# mark this week! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was getting worried that I was "stuck" or hitting a plateau! Ugh! But I stuck with it, and kept eating right (and doing my usual active stuff) and (Whamo!) the pounds went right back to falling off! THANK YOU, GOD! I am…

Blimpies has a great spinach wrap that you can get with turkey and ham and no mayo for under like 300 cals! WOO HOO! Kimi

Thanks again! Now I have this last pesky 19 pounds to kill. lol I am running, hiking, biking, horseback riding, you name it. Whatever it takes to get rid of it... thats what I will do. You guys are my inspiration and I really love my MFP family! :heart:

YAY! Vienn is back!!!! I was getting nervous that you lost me on here! lol I MISSED YOU!!!!!:cry: So glad you are back! You keep doing those KILLER walks and this will come for you! :glasses:

THANKS! :happy: I FEEL fantastic! Then again... I am no longer pouring garbage into my fuel tank.. lol I think its all the water I am drinking. My skin and hair have never been like this, ever. By the way.. I TOTALLY am snagging that phrase "Sweat is fat crying"! LOVE IT! Thanks for the supportive feedback! :flowerforyou:

I SOOOOO feel your heart on the WW thing. I ALSO wanted something that would kind of be like a "turn-key" thing. lol But alas, this was not the case. lol I PROMISE you, Sister... this WILL happen for you. Sometimes it seems so far away. But it really isn't. I have moments where I struggle to stay on track, but man... I…

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm down for that! Even though I met my goal, i have another 26 # to go and would love to stay with the "challenge" theme! Let's DO THIS! Kimi

I do the SAME THING! AND for the SAME reason! I hold myself accountable! I know there are going to be little fluctuations in my weight daily, but let's be real here... the science says if I eat right ( I DON'T do "off" days or "cheat foods") and if I burn cals, I lose weight. period. :) So far, so good. Everyone has to do…
