Great words Snoozie. Yes, Diane !!! Overall last year was a good and I really did not falter until the last couple of week. Considering where I have been in the past I see it as growth on my journey. That said, I am glad I reflected and am back on track before it became a slippery downward spiral. In years past it would…

*shakes head* that's weird just lost 65 lbs fat while not losing any muscle (actually gained muscle) by increasing protein while eating at a deficit. Sometime is pays to see a nutritionist and get the real facts. Carbs 120 a day Protein 85+ a day Exercise go for endurance (helps build the muscle) Adjust so that the ratio…

Just got a fitbit and I am aiming to increase activities, count me in please,

Well I have been mia long enough. To start I was really busy but then it changed to I needed a little break, finished up with I was sick a bit which resulted in very little tasting good and eating what did. Think part may have been me and part the illness. With everything that has been going on with my son and things not…

Welcome Diane, You have joined the best group of supporters a lady could ever ask for !!! They have been here through my thick and my slimming. They have let me rant, rave, and type out my thoughts, as they have gave their support. Tammy

Snooozie, I had noticed but remember what you said about not having the strength. I have wondered about this same point when I get to goal and how to handle it. My sister still logs daily, but I was actually hoping to at some point be able to use the knowledge of everything I have learned thus far and not have to log…

Can't view your diary so unable to give suggestions

Yummmmmmm that bacon wrapped asparagus. Bacon is one of those things I could eat 3 times a day 365 days a year. All the eats and drinks were wonderful, while the dancing keep the calories burned off. Such a wonderful celebration with my ladies :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:…

So many thanks to all my wonderful ladies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have been here as I have rambled, ranted, and stumbled my…

Weight in once a month during cycle that way you can be happy when you lose the fluid.

First off he should respect you as well as his choice for a mate but that is a horse of a different color. I would suggest you take a picture and be sure everything is back to its original spot after your workout.

I have a recumbent style bike (that I haven't road since the last tail bone incident but hoping by Thanksgiving) I love riding while watching tv. Makes it less of a chore for me (did I ever share I don't like exercise :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: I found mine on a local swap and shop for $100, you may also check…

I will be making lighter versions when I can and I will be watching portio sizes. I will be off for the week so I am aiming to bump up the exercise for the week also.

To the "op" wwhat do you consider low carb? I am currently doing 100 or less carbs and 100 or more protein per day. It started at 120 carbs and 75 protein. I have found the more protein I eat the fuller I am which makes it easier to cut my carbs.

Focus on what I have accomplished rather that how much farther I have to go.

What are does this group define "low carb" numbers? I am currently doing no more than 100 and 100 or more protein daily.

Hey ladies, Feeling like a bundle of nerves this week, had a crazy weekend but not going to let it stop me from staying on my journey. I keep reminding myself of my accomplishments. I have now officially gone from a tight 30 to a fitting 16 and L (meaning I can breath while wearing them :tongue: ) I have gone from a 4X to…

Seehee I sooooooooooooooo see the humor in basically the doctor confirming your long standing joke. What a great accomplishment to be considering surgery in order to continue exercise. Totally amazing. Thanks so much for sharing I needed a chuckle to start this morning.

Snoozie - You have summed up exactly what I have been living this last month. I have had birthdays, weddings, church socials all month but I have made good choices, stayed focused on my 100 or less carbs and 100 or more protein per day. I have lost 8 lbs this month just since Oct 20th. I have had some days of less than…

1 year and 4 months and 118 lb later, I am finally beginning to be able to go wow !!! I am aiming for btw 40 - 50 more. But every day it seems I notice something amazing about my body that I have no memory of before this journey.
