Greetings from the PNW (Pacfic Northwest)! I'm Jody, 40 years old soon to be 41. This is my second attempt at a biggest loser challenge, it really motivated me last time and I'm sure it will again. My goal is to lose 15 pounds, and then maintain. I'm not a huge fan of dieting. My favorite recent books have been: The French…

I was put on mega doses of Vit D this last winter and lost 5 pounds immediately. I think there is something to it.

Sounds great!! I'm in!! When does the 30 days start?

Congratulations and thanks for your willingness to protect us! Best of luck and stay safe!!

There is a lot of advice coming at you. I would suggest having a talk with your doctor, physician's assistant, nutritionist, or personal trainer who can set you straight and you can feel confident about the track you are on. There are so many variables. We are all so different. Never hurts to ask and be safe! Good luck!

Skagit County area is awesome! Anacortes is beautiful and has less rain than Sedro Woolley. Both sides of the county offer loads of opportunity for the outdoor enthousiast. I grew up in Anacortes, lived on a boat for eight years, moved to land, then moved to Sedro Woolley to be closer to work and start anew with family. I…

LOL, that's awesome! Can I join you on the morbidly obese bench? Still laughing out here in Washington State!!

I was just telling my husband about you at lunch today. We are both very proud of you and are very motivated. I just downloaded the app to my phone. So this shouldn't be something to avoid. Keep up the amazing job! By chance do you host any challenges on MFP?

Continue training for tri and lots of walking.

I'm in at either the $5 or $10 dollar level! -Fidalgo Girl:smile:

Is it too late? I could really use a challenge like this. Thanks, Fidalgo Girl/Jody Fidalgo Girl/Jody Current Weight: 155 Challenge Goal Weight: 143 07/02: 07/09: 155.6 07/16: 155.5 07/23: 08/06: mini goal 152 08/13: 08/20: 08/27: 09/03: mini goal 148 09/10: 09/17: 09/24: 10/01: GOAL 143

woo-hoo! Count me in!!

Yes and loved it! Will be teaching the topic to a group of young adults today actually!

It's like sales. If you don't ask, then you have already made up their mind and the answer remains "NO". BTW, love the note!! I should add, I am married and my husband and I met at work.

Luckily for me, the gym I'm a member at is in a small community and everyone is very supportive of one another. There is a larger gym that owns my gym that I belong to that is 15 minutes away, they have a women's gym section that is completely seperate from the men. That is very comfortable to work in! I would call around…

Thanks for the tips on the cookbooks, I will look into them. -Jody

I'm training for the Seattle Rock and Roll Tri (Olympic distance) and my first marathon. Does that sound fun??:bigsmile:

Would love to do this! Name: Jody B Current Weight: 153 Goal Weight: 135 Goals in next 90 days: 4 worksouts per week, more fruits and veggies daily, and keep sodium low. Oh, also need to have annual preventative checkups done (love being a 40 year old female). Plus will be checking my cholesterol and blood sugar levels to…

Congratulations on your 3rd Anniversary! I will be sharing this with a close friend who needs your kind of motivation. A sincere congratulations. By the way, love the dress and jewelry!!

Great idea, I'll try that!

Great meeting you. I absolutely love your hair style (in the pic). I appreciate your understanding, it's funny, 40 just sneaks up on a person and it's easy to retain the habits of being in your 20's and 30's and not realize what is happening within our bodies. I'm a woman so I think it's natural to want to look good, but…

Thank you for your words of support. I'm encouraging every woman I know, meet, and would like to meet to sign up with www.goredforwomen.org Thus far I have made an appt for the annual preventative tests including bloodwork for cholesterol, blood sugars, and the whole shabang! I am also putting on a jewelry party at a local…
