Ha Ha Ha Ha..... I thought the same thing.

Hi, You didn't say what you do for your workout, but if you lift weights for 30 minutes, three times a week, you'll see huge improvements.

I have a jar with cuke water and another with raspberry. Each jar holds 32 ounces. I go through both in a day and know I've had enough water. Lettuce is fabulous, too. Mint leaves from my garden. I grow my own food and use that, so in the winter, I use cantaloupes and melon chunks I've frozen. All berries work. Make only…

You're eating more than you know.

I didn't post last week (bad girl) but I'm back this week. Weighed in at 143.2 this morning. :-)

145.6 Not a huge loss but a loss nonetheless. I attribute this to a couple of naughty days coupled with zero time in the gym. I'm glad I didn't gain.

Headaches.

Do no running. Recovery week before the race is key. I've run races from 5K to marathons and I know from whence I speak. Take it easy this week. And have fun at the race. The victory is not in crossing the finish line. The victory is in getting to the starting line!

I don't think I'll reach the five pound mark. As of last Monday, I was down three pounds in October. I expect I just MAY be down another one pound by the time I weigh in on the 1st. So I didn't lose the five. Not bothered by it, but I know that if I had pushed much, much harder on my cardio, I may have gotten there.…

My PMS went away completely, never to return, when I got a divorce.

Self-explanatory. *wink*

Exactly!!! BMI of 33.7 may not be a big deal. Body fat of 33.7 is brutal!

I am definitely guilty of getting caught up in the concept of beauty. I love seeing the muscle definition under skin. Guilty as charged. What's a girl to do? But I did feel much, much better at a lighter weight. Less aches in my knees, more energy, overall just felt good all the time. I have a scale that measures body fat…

You have more lean muscle mass than I do and less body fat than I do. Very thin people can actually be clinically obese, believe it or not. So you are in better shape than I am. Good job! :-)

I didn't say I wanted to lose 49 pounds. I said I was carrying 49 pounds of fat. If you look at my ticker, my goal weight is 119 which is about 27 pounds. The test was an immersion test at a hospital. I'm sure it was very, very accurate. BMI is a great method of calculating for people who train with weights to account for…

Thirty percent body fat is obese. Unless something has changed. Has something changed? Some new study?

Thank you for all you do. It's been a tough ten days. Fell of all the wagons.... didn't get to the gym three times last week, not sure I'll get three sessions in THIS week, drank more Chardonnay than I should have. Grrrrr....... I keep counting my calories, posting them, staying within my limits, but know that I will not…

I am a smoker too and quitting very soon. Cold turkey. Wanna join me? You'll know I've quit when my sentences ramble forever, I use no punctuation, and I'm eating 800 calories worth of Jolly Ranchers. Seriously, if you want to do it with someone, I'm game!

Your body cleanses itself daily. I never understood the point of those things.

Weighed in at 146 this morning. :-)

Count calories.

I could kill my husband but he isn't worth 25 to life. Although I suspect a jury of MY peers would high five me on the way out of the court room. Husband arrived at the MIL's house hours before me. She was making turkey pot pie. Huh? I don't eat stuff like that. Husband tells her not to wait for me as I am on a serious…

I looked at all four photos. Are these from different days?

They aren't telling you to hold your breath. They are telling you to stand up straight, throw your shoulders back, have the clavicle point to the ceiling. You do that, the gut goes in. Does this help?

I would say that a bunch of doctors don't know much either. Your trainer has you on a decent enough regimen. Complex carbohydrates, low fat, protein from the shake although I'm not crazy about seeing liquid protein. Sounds like you'll get plenty of fiber if you mix up the vegetables enough. V-8 in the morning is bangin'...…

I stay under. The nuts will make me nuts. I love them, same with avocados. But I stay under. They eat up way too many of my calories (9 calories in a gram of fat vs. 4 calories in a gram of protein and carbs). It's tough since I love those foods so much, but I got rid of the nuts all together and will do my avocado as a…

You are doing it right! Keep it up!!!

Down two pounds, Three to go for the month!

Good morning. My weight came in at 146.8! I am so happy!!!

Beautiful! I love that you posted the change in your fitness (mile per minute). It speaks volumes to how your heart feels about this! Good for you!!!
