What's the saying? Gimme my coffee and no body gets hurt?

Good protein

Handel's Messiah!!

Less things would be nice. More relaxation and less stress.

For me, I would let the scale be the ultimate judge and go from there. If I need to i adjust my calories from maintain to lose 1/2 lb a week. That has worked for me. Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving! :D

I'm 55 and down about 60 pounds in the last year and a couple months. Still tracking because I need some accountability for myself. Friend requests accepted! B)

If I am on here I am logging everything. All adds up to a total. I get easily confused by deciding what to log and not to log. If it has a calorie I count it. Ok maybe I've skipped a pickle or two along the way. ;)

For me the first 20-25 pounds was easy. The rest took a little longer or so it seemed so. Yeah I exercised regularly but being very strict on my calorie counts is what I think made the difference. Measuring accurately and not fudging on anything. Just being aware of what goes in my body is what helped me so much. Enjoy the…

They should build a shrine to pizza!!

Last year I was still far away from my goal weight. We had been so good from around July 2013 til Thanksgiving and we had denied ourselves alot of our favorite foods (see pizza) that instead of cooking a turkey we opted for pizza and enough to make it worth while. I logged everything and was way over my calorie count but…

elope!!

i definitely would not eat just before running. might cause stomach problems. i would wait 2 hours after eating to run.

jumping jacks!

you could pay me $5 when you go over! Now that's motivation!

;) i've sworn off tofu!!

:D I would see how your weight is the next few days. I have had weigh ins and I can't figure out what is going on sometimes. I have eaten over my calories with a lot of carbs(pizza!) and have maintained or even lost. There are so many factors I believe that affect my weight. I try to tell myself to look at the long term…

Pickles when I was at a lower calorie intake were my go to when I get home snack. I don't know how nutritious they are but Good and crunchy I also do olives now. Not as low calorie but not very high.

I think I would work on being able to just complete the distance with a combination of walking and running at a comfort level that suits you. I would talk to your doc abotu it and get his or her advice and see if it would be good for you. Also training on a soft suface like dirt trails and grass instead of concrete or…

wheni used to run i did carb loading....Pasta dinner!!!! It'll burn off! :bigsmile:

If you find reason enough to get it done then the work won't be as hard as you make it. If looking pretty is your reason that's one thing but being healthy and getting a better functioning body that doesn't rely on meds or the like to be well. I always knew I needed to lose weight but it was always someday. Being put on…

AND I have this zit on my left temple that is just annoying and I keep picking at it!!!! :explode:

I am going to the symphony tonight and since I have lost weight I have NOTHING GOOD to wear!!!! :noway: :sad:

We skipped pizza so much when we started last year that when Thanksgiving came we said screw the turkey!!! Hello Papa Murphy's!! way better leftovers too!!!!! And we had pumpkin pie too!! then we exercised the next day like we were running for our lives!!:devil: :bigsmile:

Actuall fit and ugly would be good. Then no one would want to kiss me and i would be super healthy! No germs!!! :glasses: :drinker:

fugley!!!!

I'll take the million dollars and be ugly and fat!!! :huh: :bigsmile:

Good job on your loss so far. I lost my 60ish lbs in probably 9-10 months. Been maintaining since. I think at the start you have to be strict as you can on your logging. Training yourself to eat slowly. Shop smart and only buy what you know is or me it is like spending money and I am on a limited budget. Spend wisely and…

51 and retired!! I'm jealous! You are stunning!! :bigsmile:

A lot of cyclists in denver can't decide if they are a vehicle or a pedestrian. Running red lights or coming off the sidewalk into the street when it's convenient for them. I work construxtion on the streets and they disregard traffis zones and have almost hit me in a cone zone a few times. You can't hear them and they…

At church breakfast someone asked me when I started eating pancakes again? I had skipped a few pancakes at some breakfasts at the start of my weight loss.so many ask me what i have given up. Or I hate the ones who ask me if I am ok like I have a disease or something that is making me lose weight.
