  • Well, y'all are makin' me feel like a goal slacker, but I'm going to join anyway. I have health/physical issues. But lets focus on what I can do! My goal is to walk at whatever pace is possible 45 miles this month; 1.5/day average. I am also going to lose 10lbs...but that's another thread. LOL

  • Due to health issues, I'm not able to go for a huge goal like you all. Oh well. My goal is 5,000 a day/5-days a week for the month of August. For me, this will be a huge accomplishment! Thanks for the challenge! ~KL

  • Oh my. This is making my head hurt. LOL While all of this is a great tool, that's really all it is, a tool. We are not carbon copies of each other. There is nothing wrong with using formulas, but don't throw your common sense out the window. Those of us who have been dieting on and off for years, have a pretty good idea…

  • One thing that just saves me is popcorn. I love popcorn and have discovered an easy and low cal version that I really enjoy. I air pop 5 cups of popcorn then spray it with butter-flavored spray and sprinkle on that popcorn flavoring you can buy. Yes, it's sodium. But I bet I've cut the calories by 70% just by not having…

  • OMG! I've actually tried to talk to people about this before. Nobody understands. I've said that I have body dysmorphia - only with me, I see a thinner person than I really am. Like you, I look in the mirror and think I look pretty darned good. But I am actually 50+lbs overweight. The funny thing is that people took pics…

  • All I've got to say is..."You go girl!" I've seen overweight women wearing bikini's at the pool. I try not to stare. But the truth is that confidence like that is attractive.It makes me want to watch her, to see how she moves, how she acts, how she manages to not let society dictate what she will wear to swim in. I also…

  • Oh my goodness! You look fabulous! My goal is similar to yours. I am 5'7" and I'm aiming for a 55lb loss, but I do know that is the top of my goal range and I really need to lose between 55 and 75 pounds. I have lost 11 pounds so far. I'm determined to make it this time. I do have a few questions for you; 1. How did you…

  • This is just what I was looking for. Looking at my food diary, it's amazing to me that I do so well...until... about 7pm. Then, I eat more calories than I had all day. It sucks to see that, but I can't help but think the knowledge will help me in the long run. So, I'm going to try planning for it -- saving calories for…
