Hello and welcome! I don't have any experience with bulimia, but I know there are others on this site who do. Just keep in mind that everyone here is entitled to their own opinion and it is up each of us to decipher what is valid, worthwhile advice and what is garbage. I wish you the best of luck and feel free to friend me…

Great job my Friend!!!! I love the pics, you're smile is contagious! You have a very inspirational story and I'm looking forward to hearing more!

Hey there! Just wanted to talk a little about your BC choice. I was on Depo for under a year and put on 20 pounds. I recently read an article saying that Depo is the only contraceptive proven to contribute to weight gain. So perhaps seek an alternative. I know the one injection is a lot easier than a daily med, and that…

Run one for me!!!! How much time do you give yourself to do all this mileage??? I'm planning on running 1000 miles this year. One of them will be for you! You rock!

^^^I've cared for 30 year old heart attack/ triple bypass/ stroke patients. It does happen to the young too.

^^^ AGREE!!!!

I know this has already been said, but.... as a cardiac nurse for nearly a decade, I'm BEGGING you to take your medication as prescribed. Please, please, please! This. Is. Serious. Do not take it lightly. When you begin reaching some of your fitness goals, then it will be time to revisit this discussion, but not with us,…

What an amazing, inspiring story!!!

Happy just to hear that other people have pancake boobs too. Thanks for posting!

You're doing great! Thirty pounds/ two pants sizes is amazing! And I agree with the fellow above who stated that your hubby probably never noticed or cared about your weight. My hubby never brings it up with me, so I admit, I fish for compliments a little bit. But I know in my heart of hearts that he never noticed the…

I exclusively breastfed both my kiddos to six months too. With my first I lost almost all my baby weight by the time he was nine months. With my second I finally just lost it all and she's 20 months. With him I'd say my appetite was normal, with her I was starving, and craving the sweets too just like you. I agree with the…

Ha! Love it!

Don't forget your Shape magazine! I know Fitness puts a great workout (or two or three) in every issue of at home, minimal equipment strength/ cardio plans. Try them out!

I can't believe someone else has read The Red Tent!!! Loved that book too. My re-reads are A Tale of Two Cities and the Harry Potter books. I did just finish the Hunger Games trilogy and liked that as well. And who can forget the Twilight series! I have to re-read them before I go see them in the theatre.

Congrats on your weight loss so far! What an amazing inspiration you are! If you've done that I think you can tackle running. A treadmill is a great idea, check out eBay for barely used ones. And I know there are people out there who stare at runners. Some are judging. But some find you inspiring. You may actually inspire…

Yes I recently had a (very delicious) grilled chicken sandwich from Red Robin, at a cost of over 900 calories!!! There is a reason it was so delicious. Also stopped at an IHOP lately and was pleased to see the calorie count for everything listed right under the item description. Made it so much easier to make a better…

This just may be me, but I find the first quarter mile a beotch to get through, but then I feel better. I've been really training now for about four months (I'm talking dedicated running, three to five days a week, consistently adding mileage with a goal of a half marathon.) And STILL that first quarter mile is a killer to…

Its been a while since I've looked at the c25k program, but aren't you supposed to be able to walk 20 minutes without stopping before you begin the program? It's a great goal, and running has always been THE THING to help me incinerate calories. I whole heartedly believe its the way to go. And YOU CAN run a 5k! Make smart…

Well that hasn't happened to me and I've never used the brand you mentioned, so, maybe its just that brand???
-
Jeesh, meanie mary up there. If you hate a post choose not to comment, or at least leave out the part about hating it. Anywho, thought of something else, they make infusers for your water. I think there are individual bottle ones and ones for big pitchers that you can put fruit, cucumber, mint, whatever in. That way if…

I have found that a straw helps me sip a lot more. For instance, without a straw it'll take me all morning to finish a glass, but with a straw I'm likely to finish it all at once. Other things that help may just be getting a giant jusg that will hold all the water you want to drink for the day that way you have a visual of…

That's what I keep telling her too!!!
-
I better watch out! Your time beats my last 5k time!
-
I love it!!!! We are all capable of so much!
-
You look 20 years younger! Congrats! Your hard work and determination are an inspiration to us all!

Better safe than sorry and get it checked out. Asthma can develop as an adult. I do find it weird though that it would happen now after weight loss. Allergies can also develop as an adult.
-
Good grief, Brandi! Hahahahahaha! Shoulda stopped after I read your warning! Anway, I agree with the foam roller, the butterfly stretch, the butt stretch, all great ideas. But something I did while pregnant to help open hips/pelvis was a real deep squat. Knees and toes pointed out at an angle and get our butt down to the…

Well here I am!!! I'll have to add fun pictures. Maybe we can get one of us finishing a race together!
