Yes, I do believe people get caught up in the he said she said, I read this article, well I read that article... did you hear what Susy did last week sort of thing. That really lays a cover over what we really want, or think we need. Our bodies are capable of so much more than we give them credit for. It's do-able. If you…

Well, I've lost 227 pounds since this last July, I've done it healthy and I plan to keep losing and to keep it off! A big part of it has to do with how much you have to lose, how far are you willing to push yourself? I've checked in with my doc along they way who is very impressed with my numbers and health. I am a little…

wraps or pita sandwiches carrot sticks apple water trail mix ... I'm sure there are other things I just can't get out of my head at the moment. :flowerforyou:

1st - Figure out how to best approach the maintenance phase. 2nd- Set up a walking group in my local area for those who have reached their goals and are now maintaining. 3rd- maybe get a massage. I have a feeling that the maintenance piece of this will be a little rough around the edges so I may do a big celebration for…

You go girl! Keep a smile on that face of yours and keep chugging along... at some point as he sees your changes and your acceptance he will grow up a little bit ;)

I love them cut up and roasted with a little olive oil, chopped vidalia onion, pepper, a little sea salt and fresh rosemary! YUM!!! Also you could cut them into french fry shape (carefully) and make some honey mustard sauce for dipping :) Let us know what you do and how they come out. :flowerforyou:

If you don't exercise you then become what is considered "Skinny Fat" exercise helps tone your muscles, boost your metabolism and will keep you heart healthy; plus may other fabulous benefits. I'm not a person that goes on here-say. If it works for me I'm going to do it. I'm sorry but it only makes sense to eat healthy and…

Good question, you could go to the store and try things out there and decide what you like! I went to ****'s Sporting Good's here in Maine and played around with stuff for a while before settling on my exercise balls, and other things. I jsut realized it took out the word D I C K S becuase it's a bad word! HA

I love that you're no longer TOO strong for your jeans ;) Great job!!

This is fantastic!! You're doing such a wonderful job! Keep up the great work! I agree, if the clothes are too big now just get rid of them! :flowerforyou:

This is fantastic! You sound prepared, and ready for it. I'd love to hear about it once you return. :flowerforyou:

Welcome to MFP and well wishes to you on your journey. You are motivated to do this, losing weight is just as easy as lutting it all on, but first we need to just adjust to some life style changes. So be patient, stay consistent, keep your motivation and will power high and before you know it those 40 pounds will be gone!

Welcome to MFP, and well wishes to you on your weight loss journey. Consistency is key, along with motivation and will power. Before you know it, you'll be on your way to better health and feeling fantastic! :flowerforyou:

Awww, that totally sux... sorry to hear they messed it up on you! Next time make sure it's right before you leave :happy:

I replied to your previous post... but you will need to lose about 4 pounds per week starting this week to reach your goal by June. it's do-able but you need to make sure you're doing it safe. The most weight loss per week MFP will calculate you for will be 2 pounds. Make sure you carefully calculate what you need to do…

Those are some great goals! Welcome to MFP and well wishes to you on your journey :)

Super cute puppy!!!!

This is fantastic! What a great accomplishment!!! What was the distance of this half marathon?

I've never mediated, but have heard people to have found great success by doing so.

I've got to be honest here. I hardly ever log my foods. I've never changed the way I eat, I've just changed my portion sizes. But I would think this could be great advice for those who don't have an phone app.

Welcome to MFP and well wishes to you on your journey to better health!

I do think this is true for the majority of people... but becuase our bodies work the same and yet so different this probably varies... or the time it takes to hit that point. You should try it for a week and let us know how that works for you. I generally do my morning work out around 4am...

You can certainly do what works with your schedule.. It does all count! I'm not a here-say fan. But I just do what I can when I can and it seems to be working just fine :)

You are right, it takes time for our bodies to adjust to a new life style, and with that it does take time. Be pateint and keep a smile on your face every step of the way, you will get there.
