  • I am on the downside of 40... going to be 49 next month. I started this healthy new lifestyle change back in 11/2016 and lost 72lbs. I have put on about 17lbs over the last few months as old habit crept back in but I slapped the stupid out of me and am now back on my healthy eating and exercise kick. I log daily and…
  • Feel free to add me, I am always happy to have friends to share this journey with... I log in daily and while I have put on a few holiday pounds I am ready to get back into beast mode... Let's do this!
  • 4.2lbs up from Friday :o :# Damn you Christmas cookies and sangria... Back to reality this morning, 4.2 you are only temporary, do not get comfortable you will not be staying. I say good day!! :p B)
  • I don't wear underwear at all... (I wear boy shorts in the summer under skirts etc.) with leggings just make sure that you get a good quality brand and you wont have to worry about it being see through. I don't wear the cheaper ones to the gym, those are only used when I am wearing a longer shirt that covers the important…
  • Hearts oh the joy of colored hearts... ❤ for love...
  • Breakfast for me is usually the same... Yogurt bowls with protein powder, trail mix and berries, or over night oats. I am a creature of habit. Of course on Sundays I cook a big breakfast for the family which has eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast etc.
  • sadly, 75lbs later I am still wearing the majority of my big girl clothes and yes look like a bag lady because in my mind, I still have weight to lose and do not want to buy new clothes until then... I have purchased a couple pair of dress pants from the consignment store to wear to work and have purchased a couple shirts…
  • I have been doing this healthier lifestyle thing for just over a year now. I have lost 75lbs and don't own a food scale. In the beginning (first couple months) I did measure out a cup of Greek yogurt or a tablespoon of olive oil or hummus. But other than that I did not weigh/measure anything I pretty much eyeballed it. I…
  • Exactly why my husband and I started on this healthier lifestyle journey a year ago. We both had high cholesterol I was on med but the statins caused joint pain and i ended up with permanent joint damage so they took me off of them and offered other alternative meds but I was like nope so we completely changed our eating…
  • I am ashamed to say I have no idea what this Tardis is and that I only know that woman because she use to be on the show ER :# but none the less you look FANTASTIC!! Good on you for the weight loss and you are so right about the keeping it off part. I lost 75lbs in just under 9 months, I maintained a while since even…
  • I was down 30lbs before anyone even notice I had been eating better and losing weight... Truth be told I am down over 70lbs and I still see the heavier me in the mirror, probably because I am still wearing the majority of my older clothes because I am too cheap to buy new ones LOL Progress pics are very helpful, as well as…
  • While I don't have scheduled cheat meal/day per say... the so called cheating occurs when someone brings home a delicious pizza and I don't stop at the correct portion size for my allotted calories for the day but instead throw caution to the wind and eat the whole freaking thing... Mmmmmm PIZZA :p :p :p #ItsABalance :D :D
  • Zumba... Its just dancing right :p
  • I am a creature of habit and ease of use. I premake my breakfast Monday- Friday. Plain non fat greek yogurt with a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder, topped with either granola or trail mix and fresh berries. If I run out of yogurt then it's Gerber Rice baby cereal with a tsp of almond butter and ground cinnamon…
  • I feel you... I am a full time working Mom of 3 sons although older 23, 19, 14 they all live at home as well as two dogs. I have 4 herniated disc in my lower back, 2 in my neck, and degenerative joint disease at the young age of 48. I leave the house at 650am every morning to bring my son to school before headed to work…
  • You already sound like you have given up... you know what you have to do, you have done it before. Weight loss it not easy, it takes effort and hard work and right now you don't sound like you are willing to put that work in. Not judging, believe me that was me for many MANY years, right up to gaining over 60lbs getting to…
  • I will be 49 in Feb and I started a year ago on the 28th of this month with a goal to lose 100lbs... I am down 72lbs since then (I gained about 6lbs last month because of emotional eating, i still logged the ugly lol) I have just under 30lbs still left to go and have been back on track since the beginning of the month. I…
  • while I ate like 800 more calories than I do on any given day, I made sure that i had the room to do so. I got up in the morning and told myself that I would walk/run on the treadmill until I hit my 10K step goal... that took me 67 minutes to do so it allotted myself a few extra calories and then I made the family take a…
  • @dsboohead Thank you very much I appreciate that... <3
  • This year there will be no skipping of anything instead it will be just a small taste of everything... Ok I lied, I will most likely skip the bread, I rather have a little bit bigger serving of pumpkin pie with some real whipped cream. :p This is my first year having Thanksgiving dinner without all of my boys home. My…
  • Great job!! I will be at it a year on the 28th and still don't have it all figured out just yet...but 72lbs later I think I have a pretty good handle on what this healthy lifestyle is suppose to look like... despite the ups and downs and emotional roller coaster ride it has been. LOL :p 25-30lbs to go... I am a work in…
  • When I started this lifestyle change I gave up beer... switched to tito's instead. LOL Seriously though, I don't drink often, we dont even have alcohol in the house unless we are having a party so the titos are far and few in between. Except for on St Patrick's day that is... :p B) o:)
  • Health... I said to my husband we are saving for our retirement, we made sure we only took out a 15 year mortgage so that house is paid off before we retire. We are doing everything that we can to set ourselves up to be able to afford to retire and enjoy each other... but we are morbidly obese and will probably die before…
  • My husband and I purposely started our lifestyle change during the holidays last year. Figured if we could make it through them it would be a true testament to our commitment to make a change. Not only did we manage to get through them we are almost a year to the date and still living our healthy and fit lifestyle. Couple…
  • I typically drink a gallon a day, not all at one time but over the course of the 9/10 hour work day. I have a 32 ounce bottle that I fill usually twice before noon and then another 2/3 times by the time I leave work. I also drink 16.9oz on my drive into work. At first drinking 8 glasses of water was hard but over time my…
  • Amazing transformation... way to go!!! Congratulations on a healthier new you!! B)
  • Amazing job!!! Your dedication and hard work has surely paid off... You look amazing!!
  • I make protein bowls for breakfast with non fat plain greek yogurt. I take a cup of yogurt add a half of scoop of my favorite protein power then add fresh berries and/or trail mix or granola. I seriously eat it almost every day during the work week. You can also mix it with honey and cinnamon. or use it in place of sour…
