Perhaps you should do couples therapy. Two years ago I would have NEVER suggested that, but about a year ago my boyfriend and I hit a very rocky patch and our relationship was more or less saved by therapy (and our hard work, of course). Long term that type of relationship, environment and conversation is not good for…

I LOVE Zumba! What kind of program are you going to do? They have classes at my gym but they are all cancelled until next week because of Thanksgiving.

Hello everyone! Congratulations to those who met their goals and stayed under today! For those who didn't, it is one day. :) I ate under my calories by 5 calories. Then I went to the gym and did C25K and then walked an extra half hour. I knew I was going to get the late-night munchy-crunchies, so I just went ahead and…

Woo hoooo! That's me!! And after it all I went to the gym for an hour! Yay! Thanks for the shout out!

Congratulations!! And, Happy thanksgiving!

Hey there. I am posting this here and anyone who wants to add me can. I log on daily and try to be very active and supportive online. My highest weight was 325 in 2010/2011, I joined MFP 8/20/2012 at 275 and am now at 237.8. I have lost almost 100 pounds so far and have about 100 still to go. Please feel free to read my…

Amazing job!! You have done fantastic!!

WOW! Fantastic! You look EASILY 10 years younger!! Great job! :happy:

Hey there. I am doing more of an Atkins than a paleo but I use both types of recipes. My highest weight was 325, then I joined MFP at 275 and started atkins/paleo. I am now down to 237 (although I do not have good pics up. I can't figure out the photobucket thing) and still losing. I started C25K last week and am on week 2…

Fantastic!! You look amazing!

I love weight machines and hate cardio and free weights. I have no form. But I just tell myself (with the cardio) that it is something I HAVE TO do to meet my goals. Even though that is kind of bullying myself, it makes me tough it out.

Great job!! That is an amazing difference!!

Come to think of it, when I am at the gym now I watch NCIS and do the treadmill. I could probably do that at home too. I know it is weird, but I HATE walking outside. I can walk an hour and a half on the treadmill. Outside I barely want to walk for five minutes before I am completely bored. The exact opposite of most…

I would count it as water too. I am addicted to soda and can't really drink plain water without feeling like it is SO boring! So I do crystal light full flavor in a bottled water. Then when I am halfway done I refill it with water to dilute it some so I can get used to the more watery taste. Hopefully one day I can drink…

I LOVE my gym. I joined in Feb. but didn't actually start going regularly until July. I am notorious for joining the gym and then never going. But I am also notorious for buying equipment and work-out dvds (like my 2-year-old P90X) and never using them. I am lucky in that the people at my gym are great and helpful and…

I think they do. My friends provide me with encouragement, support, helpful information and tips and, of course, friendship. Losing weight, especially working on losing a lot of weight can be lonely and isolating. Friends don't understand why you won't eat their cake or order pizza. Change is hard and having like-minded…

I am trying to go completely off sugar. I have been doing low-carb, so I have cut out everything with sugar except sometimes a spoonful of peanut butter or something with natural sugars. I do not crave sweet stuff anymore but am addicted to diet soda. That is my next break! Eeeeeeekkk!!

RUN a 5K!! I recently walked my first 5K and was pretty proud. Get on a roller coaster without breaking into a sweat about fitting in the seat. I was actually kicked off one once because they couldn't close the bar around me. And stand naked in front of by bf without feeling nervous and embarrassed.

YES, YES!!! I LOVE this game!!

Some of this is valid though. I was doing really good with my weight loss and then suddenly nothing. No weight loss for two weeks, even though I was eating under my calories and working out. Nothing. I was reviewing my blood type food list and saw cauliflower listed as a prohibited food because it messes with your insulin.…

Those are great NSVs! I too have had bra extenders on my bras, in my case for YEARS. They do not make pretty, comfortable bras in my size. And now I have 2 bras at least that I can wear without them!! They fit just fine!! I have other bras I need to try, but I am pretty sure they will fit too! :) YAY for us!!

Even without food stamps, a lot of people have to budget, including me. I am currently on unemployment and receive very little. I was let go from a decent job (for this area) after being severely burned in an accident and having no sick time to cover it. So I am looking for work and am on unemployment but not eligible for…

Great job everyone! As I was dressing for the gym today I realized two things. First, I fit into a pair of panties I have carried around for YEARS because they are so cute and I am too stubborn and prideful to admit they are too small. I could never get them over my thighs. Now they fit! Then when I went to put on a…

You look amazing!! Congratulations and great job!!

Ha, ha! That is great!!

That is fantastic!! Mine is now 5.9 and was 9.8 a year and a half ago. :) Great job!

SO!!! I did it! I mostly walked with a little running. I finished dead last with two other walkers, but it was fun and I had a great time. I did get zombie-fied, but oh well!! I will post some videos and pics tomorrow or Monday!!

Reading everyone's comments has been amazing this morning! Last night I felt nervous and unsure of myself and now...here I am, feeling happy and totally excited again. Thanks MFP people!!! Y'all are great!! And I will definitely update everyone on how it goes. I recently bought a helmet-mounted water-proof camera (HEY!!!…

Thank you guys for your comments. I AM going to go. Even i I die halfway through and get eaten by zombies, I have totally looked forward to this and worked hard!! If I didn't go I would just be bailing on myself just like my friend did. So I am going to do it!!

Congratulations! You look amazing! :drinker:
