Girl you rock! Thanks so much for the info!!!!

3 more miles today woot woot!

Sometimes it isn't about making the "healthy" choice it is about making the BETTER choice. For example if you crave chocolate like I do and can find something low in calories or that has less sugar and choose that instead of a piece of chocolate cake then you still have achieved something. It is all about give and take and…

So I am a little late in joining but I have knee issues too and the elliptical is my favorite. This will be a great challenge and better late than never right :bigsmile:

Hey, so I am a student and I walk a lot every single day its almost a mile across campus and I make that trip daily. However, this was my rational when I ran into that same question. Yes I walk a lot daily but at that activity level I was still over weight and gaining so for me I didn't feel as if it counted because while…

Now on to everyone else thank you for the suggestions I really appreciate it!

It's the way that he went about it... he didn't offer any suggestions bur rather attacked the choice I made, mind you a choice that was very difficult for me to make in the first place. I was struggling and chose the lesser of two evils so if you are not going to provide a better alternative then don't criticize.

Be proud of what you have accomplished and understand that you are not alone! I am 5' 8 and 229 (240) when I started out. Straight up no bs the BMI calculator makes me cry, not as bad as it use to but still its a huge slap in the face for someone even a stupid chart to tell you flat out your obese. I was really angry and…

I'm in! Current weight 229 Milestone goal 195 Final goal 160

I am right there with you. Hang in there though, this site is amazing everyone has been so so helpful! Remember you are not alone and if you are struggling all you have to do is ask for some advice and there are plenty of folks willing to help you the best they can. Good luck!

You have all been so helpful I really appreciate it! Just changed my diary to include sugars Holy cow!!! I had no idea and here I was craving even more! Definitely a real eye opener something about being 37 in the red suddenly put things in a whole new perspective.

Thank you guys for the info! I have been off soda for 2 weeks and maybe this is some weird residual craving for that who knows...

I'm right there with you guys. It is very challenging. I especially find campus dining to be the worst even the "healthy" options are chocked full of sugar. I have found that packing a lunch is the way to go. I am new to this so there as been a lot of trial and error but I have done the best so far with carrying my own…

Campus dining is a nightmare. I am a student too and I completely understand.

Thank you all for your responses. I really appreciate it!
