Goodness, I am so sorry, right now when you are trying to change your life, you need a lot of support in your corner. I would tell you to ignore the person causing stress, but as you are married to him, that makes it rather difficult. Try to find a time when he seems to be in a decent mood, and you are able to remain calm,…

I am more of an optomist and like to celebrate the achievement rather than focus on what is left.

Oops, this was supposed to go with the above post quote. Thank you for this. I was wondering if I should bypass the day off and try to do the program every day since I walk every day. I will try to stick with what is recommended.

Make sure you take days off to rest and don't push it if things feel off or funny. I was arrogant because I thought I was thin, therefore fit, but that's not the case at all.

1. I was never cold before, and now I wear a sweater/jacket all of the time, and/or have a little heater going. 2. My behind gets very sore if I sit to long. 3. My feet have been shrinking, my dress shoes periodically come off. 4. My clothes got too big, I lost my skirt at church once, fortunately I was the only one in the…

Excellent - Glad to see successful walk/runners to runners. I am a bit worried about injury, so am not a huge fan of pushing just to reach the goal of 5k. Thanks for inspiring me to move forward with this. We will see if begins to grow on me or not.

Thanks for your feedback and encouragement. I have great shoes, which is so critical.

Feb. 11....Setting a goal is a bit hard as I have been in a bit of a plateau, so if I can lose anything I will be happy. I always walk a lot, but started a running program this morning hoping to jump start my metabolism a little.

Just when you think life is full of happiness, the tortilla chip thief comes to doom your day. I feel your pain.

One can help the Girl Scouts, do something for a total stranger, and keep yourself healthy.....Buy a box, and give it to a random stranger wishing them a great day.

Keep walking! I really can't afford a gym, and do not have equipment at home, but I have legs, and I use them. As I began to lose weight, I added on to the amount of time I spend walking. I have 2 breaks and a lunch hour. I get to work an hour or more early to walk. By then end of the day I have walked a minimum of 7…

Congrats on being a MILF! way to have your day made!!

Hang in there and continue doing what is right for you and your health. It is primary. Surround yourself with true support and care. Hopefully your loved ones will get on board quickly. Remember this is for you not them! My only piece of advice for all of us. Be careful when talking to others to not come across as…

Clap...Clap...Clap.....Applauding you!! Hurrah! Happy Day!

California

Most of the time I say dinner (California as well). I have said supper though, it depends on who I am with. Once in a while, it is I am "going to have supper", but going out is always "go out to dinner"

September 2012. Outside in the garden area of the hotel where my friend was staying the night before her wedding. I was a bridesmaid, and we gathered there for pictures.

Please don't worry and have a good time. In 2011 before I lost 70+ pounds I went to Europe on vacation, and did not have any trouble. The only thing that was sad, was that in Spain, Italy, and France there were some really cute clothes that I would love to have been able to purchase, but could not fit into them. I had such…

Celery -- Boring but works for me. I use it in place of chips....with salsa, hummus, peanut butter, etc. gives the crunch without the guilt.

Yep:smile:

Thanks, He cannot get me down. I have so many friends who are such strong supporters, that one person does not make a difference. I did have to laugh at "How about I walk on your face......" I also tend to think...."Jealousy" He sees the hard work, and wishes he could put in the same effort. I just wish that people like…

Yum thanks.

Yummy and amazingly easy pumpkin muffin recipe and very diabetic friendly. I got it from another post a while back....I have made these quite a few times. Nice to have a healthy baked good. Sugar Free Pumpkin Muffins 1 box Pillsbury sugar free yellow cake mix 1 regular can of pumpkin pumpkin pie spices small amount of…

These sound like they would be good to take to upcoming holiday parties. Will have to try them. Will also look for ways to cut down the sugar as I have to be really careful. Thanks so much.

Interesting idea! Will have to try this as well. Thanks

Hang in there, and we are all allowed to whine once in a while. It is a long and sometimes tedious journey! That is why I am here; to support and encourage as well as be supported and encouraged! Like many have said breaking up the big goal with much smaller goals has helped me along the way. I looked at weight goals I…
