I see you wanted to start Yoga as a goal. . . that is a great idea because you feel 'bulky' (I just don't think you're use to the muscle, you should be proud of it). Yoga lengthens and stretches you out so might help with how you are feeling---because I think it's more of how you feel about yourselve as opposed to how you…

I am with you. Almost EXACT same weight and stalling point. To clarify what another poster said---it was 0.5 lbs (as in half a pound per week), NOT 5lbs (lol) :laugh: But I do wonder the same thing---we are older now obviously, is this our new 'perfect weight?' But I agree, you look great, and the muscle tone might be what…

Amazing---don't EVER apologize for being proud of yourself. . . is you deserve it (as you do) we need to enjoy our accomplishments and hard work, it's what keeps us going and proves our worth!!!

Good for you. . .great job!!! You look HOT :flowerforyou: I wanted to commend you for making the comment about 'not setting foot in the gym' and following it up with the Jillian Michael's video. Unfortunately, many people would like to think that means they don't need to exercise---WRONG! But you showed that for people…

I agree with the poster that works in the insurance industry, it is reviewed VERY closely ---I've worked in surgery and the only time that it is covered is when it is a medical necessity. The most common that I have seen for the panniculectomy is when the excess skin causes infection underneath and has lead to…

I am in total agreement with you. And someone here said it so well--- as we get older our caloric requirements drop, but we don't adjust our intake. I was so guilty of that until I joined here last month. I was always so active and so fit --- of course until the kids came (yep, cop out, huh???) But I kept eating like I was…

Your story could be mine!!! Although I've had 3 knee surgeries and 1 hip (all torn cartledge). Do NOT let it go, sitting around will not fix it. PT is absolutely necessary, you need to work your way back to normally activity because without strengthening all the supporting mucles, structures, etc. it's not going to 'fix…

Yes, I think we have all felt that way for any number of reasons. But if you are like me (a STRESS eater) you need to realize that the damage you can do in one day can erase all your hard work from several weeks---is it REALLY worth it? Find something that you know you can rely on to help you focus and become motivated…

Good for you!!! I wouldn't care if the scales said 300lbs if I could lose inches :blushing: Just to help you out a little bit, fat takes up more space (volume) than muscle. . . but the same volume of muscle weighs more. From reading only a couple posts on these boards, people just don't get that. But think of it this way,…

All the comments on here are great about the PF. . .but I'm thinking that you might have a bad fitting shoe! NEVER underestimate the damage that bad fit can do to you. I have fallen arches, which has caused wide feet that don't fit into standard width shoes. I was getting the shocking feeling and then numbness with…
