I recovered from it several years ago, after the initial diagnosis I got a cortizone shot, then after a week went to physical therapy, did stretches at home as well as iced it. AT LEAST 20 minutes!! Very painful to get the shot and to ice it, Also, resting the foot is a must, you may have to give up your love of running…

I can understand the hurtful feelings you had at the comment. I CAN'T IMAGINE hollering anything out my car window to any body whether it's mean or not. It's obvious they are very immature and don't have a clue what you are accomplishing. Congrats on the 15 lbs lost!! That's so GREAT!! And I loved the quote you put on…

My neck now has wrinkles!:sad:

I'm 44 and in the same boat. I want/need to lose over 120 lbs and I started here. When I first got on and logged my cals, I was amazed at how much I was eating. And how many calories were in the simplest of things. Logging accurately REALLY helps you see what you are eating. Eating fresh foods and lean meats is a great…

I don't know what's worse? The fat they are fried in or the POUND of salt they put on them. Step away from the fires!:bigsmile:

Hide the veggies (for now) and then slowly integrate them in their meal because we all need our veggies. How do you hide them you ask?? EASY. Shred carrots and put them in your spaghetti sauce. They'll never notice! Also you can shred zucchini and put it in lots of dishes. If they like mashed potatoes, sub half the…

Hi! Try skinnytaste.com and just type in chicken and you will find wonderful HEALTHY choices and ideas for dishes to make. I print out their recipes and use them all the time. Please stop being so hard on yourself! Everyone loses their way sometimes and this is the perfect site to get the support you need. I find that it…

Not sure what you like to eat but you can 'hide' veggies in almost anything. Make a homemade smoothie and put raw baby spinach, kale or ever frozen broccoli in it. I SWEAR you won't even taste it. Spaghetti sauce? I put shredded carrot or even shredded zucchini in the sauce while cooking. No one is the wiser. Good luck!

I truly believe in the 80%/10%/10% theory. 80% of weight loss is what you eat. 10% is exercise and the other 10% is genetics. So, you can control 90% of what you do to help you lose weight.

I was like you and HAD to know what I weighed each day to make sure I was losing etc...BUT even when I was super good the scale would go up and I would get depressed and want to eat more. Then I got down to weighing myself every 2 or 3 days and same thing, it bounced all over. So now I weigh myself on Fridays, it let's me…

Raw, unsalted Almonds and some fruit. Yummy and satisfying and oh so good for you! You're getting protein and healthy fat with the almonds and healthy carbs with the fruit. Grapes, melon, citrus or apples.

How about Bamboo? Or Mr. Tibbles?

REMEMBER DIG DUG??? LOVED THAT GAME, EVEN FOUND IT A FEW YEARS AGO AND BOUGHT IT SO MY DAUGHTER COULD PLAY, SHE DIDN'T LOVE IT LIKE I DID!

meatloaf....why'd you have to remind me!!??

The day I realized the moon wasn't 'self-illuminating', it was actually the sun that made it bright. I was like in my teens and I still just shake my head when I think about it. Must have slept thru that part of science class or something!!

THIS!

You can get a scale for like $5 or cheaper. And yes! It is worth it! You think you are eyeballing it correctly...but alas you are not :bigsmile: PS 1200 cals may have put you in starvation mode- so your body is holding on to everything. Also, how much water are you drinking?

WOW!! Great job! And I agree, you must be very tall because you look like you may weigh about 105 lbs in these pics, must be all the muscles!! You are an inspiration to all of us! Thanks for posting the pics!!

Awesome NSV!!!
