Congratulations on your 4 lb weight loss and welcome! I too started and stopped (and started and stopped and so on...) until last January I finally decided enough was enough! Unfortunately I missed a day here and there (on vacation, waited until after midnight, etc.) and ended up having to start over a couple of times. I…

Wow! :happy: You look FANTASTIC! What an inspiration to the rest of us! Great job!
-
I did that for Thanksgiving and almost passed out when I weighed in the next day! Sooooo, I plan on getting up early, going for a nice run and then doing my best not to go too overboard with Christmas dinner. Since my daughter and I are doing the cooking that should help. I never seem to have much of an appetite after I…

You should be so proud of yourself! Awesome job! :flowerforyou:

You got me! I'm not REALLY 44 with a 23 year old daughter, a 22 year old daughter and two 3-year old grandkids. I'm actually 24 and I'm their older sister and aunt respectively! :laugh: :happy: :flowerforyou: I'm liking whoever poster THIS thread! I'll take that compliment anyday! :heart:

Uh, maybe you guys need to talk about this. Like, seriously...
-
Stop posting, ranting and raving about EVERY single thing you do and any problems you have ALL day long! Go get a freaking job or a hobby so you won't have time to post about trivial matters that no one else cares about! If you continue to do this you WILL be deleted! I don't care if we are related! You have been warned!

Most of the time I do not eat before I work out and I've lost 70 pounds. Every once in a while I'll have a protein shake before a workout but this isn't a regular thing. You need to figure out what works for you.

What is the Paleo gluten free challenge?

Thank you EVERYONE for your great advice! I truly appreciate it! Also, just to clarify I ALWAYS have the treadmill on an incline - usually at least a 3% but sometimes higher. Plus, I live in Oklahoma City and I don't know if anyone has heard about our weather this summer but our temperatures have been well over 100 degrees…

Hello there and welcome to MFP! I am always willing to motivate and be motivated by new friends. Anyone can request me as a friend if they choose to do so. I will gladly accept and give all the support/motivation I can give! Good luck to you in your journey!
-
I have to say I know just how you feel! We have a treadmill that we keep upstairs in my husband's "man cave" that we both use. I tend to use it first thing in the morning while he uses it when he gets off work. It INFURIATES me when my husband decides to fall asleep upstairs in the man cave (instead of coming to bed) when…

Let's not talk about the 1/2 box of Frosted Flakes I devoured! (At least I was eating them with Almond Milk. Does that balance out all the calories and sugar?) :ohwell: But, I got RIGHT back on track! Now for me THAT'S progress!
-
I have it too. In all honesty mine probably would be much better by now but I walk around barefoot a lot in my house, which is an AWFUL thing to do if you have PF. (I know. I'm a bad patient). Anyway, one thing my doctor recommended was getting the 12 or 16 oz plastic coke bottle, filling it with water and freezing it.…

Hello there! Welcome to MFP. Feel free to add me as a friend as we can all use the encouragment! Remember, you promised to be good... uh, well, you said you'd try! :laugh:
-
Welcome to the site! Anyone is always welcome to add me as a friend. I love the support and encouragement I get from the members here and I know it has made a difference in my weight loss journey. Knowing how important encouragement is to me I do my best to give it back to others daily. In any event, good luck to you and…

That is awesome! I remember one trip at an amusement park I waited in line for about 20 minutes to ride the thingee (can't remember the name) that takes you through the rapids and you get wet. I figured since the seats were open I could fit. I was so embarassed (and hurt) when I could fit in the seat but couldn't fasten…
-
I have the exact same problem. Everyone can see the difference but I still see the old me. For me, I think it's a comfort thing. I've seen the old fat me for far too many years and that's what I know and have gotten used to. To actually see the new you can be scary. I often wonder if I'll go back to my old habits and then…
-
Looking forward to trying it! Thanks

I'm so sorry this happened to you! What I will say is, typically, the first relationship after a divorce doesn't work. There are many divorced couples who get into relationships after their divorce as a way of healing or just finding someone to be there for them and take their mind off the loneliness. However, when the…

You asked us to prove you wrong about there being a difference between motivation and inspiration... and we did. You said if we proved you wrong you would shutup... but you haven't. We CLEARLY gave you the definition of motivation AND inspiration and showed you they are synonyms, meaning they have the same meaning and can…

"The definition of Motivation: the act or an instance of motivating, or providing with a reason to act in a certain way. Synonyms: motive, INSPIRATION, inducement, cause, impetus." "The definition of Inspiration: an inspiring or animating action or influence; a thing or person that inspires. Synonyms encouragement,…

I think I love you! :wink: One other thing, it amazes me how people are so intolerant of things they don't do or struggle with that others may battle with. The answer here is clear: If you don't want or need motivation 1) don't ask for it, 2) don't accept any friends on this site because they usually give a lot of…

My daughter just started it. I watched one of her workouts and oh my goodness! :-) Anyway, she's on MFP. Her screen name is RellieBellie. Good luck guys!

Forty minutes of Zumba and then 20 minute of jogging and running sprints on my treadmill (plus 5 minute warmup/cool down and 15 minutes of stretching).

You may want to find an exercise that you really like. If you really like what you're doing (like Zumba, Spin classes, jazzercise, etc.) you'll be more inclined to do it regularly whether you're alone or not. Also, like someone else said, you need to think about how committed you are to your goals. It's about your journey…

This is my situation - although, to be fair, my husband still chases me around the house and tries to jump me every chance he gets. However, my husband has always been attracted to bigger women. You are attracted to who and what you are attracted to. Now, do I feel this changes his love for me? Nope! I know he will always…

Hi there! I'm Lainey (TrinityLyons01) and I love MFP. Also, my youngest daughter is 22 and approximately 5 feet tall. Her best weight is around 115. Whenever she gains just 5 -10 pounds she can really tell. I guess that is the curse is being cute and petite. :laugh: In any event, I understand why you would want to get the…

Gotta be The Hot Chick! That movie gets me every time! :-) Rob Schneider plays a really good "hot chick"!

On Biggest Loser they always incorporate weight training with the cardio. I've also read articles on fitness that talk about the importance of adding weights to your workouts even if you only do it twice a week. The more muscle you have the higher your metabolism. Also, there are times when people focus only on losing…
