You need to be more specific (or he does) If by "thinks about his ex" you mean he's wishing she was still part of his life, or that he wants to get back together with her, yes, that's a problem. But if he's just saying the thought of her crosses his mind occasionally, so what? She was part of his life for 7 years, of…

I am not participating for this month because I had a bad fall at the end of August and hurt my knee and back. I'm currently doing some exercises with a kinesthesiologist but will not be doing much walking or running for a little while. I don't know for sure when I'll be able to rejoin, but I guess I'll have to see how…

Added 3 miles for a total of 25.6. ETA: just realized I forgot to add my walk to the subway (we spent the day with the kids at Buskerfest Toronto)

Quzly, I love your muscle definition and your (obvious) hard work to get there! You look great! LeonXC: Having a sense of humour is definitely an asset to weight loss, because retaining a sense of humour helps you lighten up! :smile: Thanks!

Added 4.65 on the elliptical for a total of 22.6.

And another mile--17.95

With only 5 lbs to lose, you will NOT lose very quickly. Your body slows down your weight loss considerably once you start getting into the healthy weight range. Give it a couple more weeks and take measurements--you may be shrinking without actually losing weight. The scale isn't the best way to measure your progress when…

Added 5.2 miles for a total of 17 miles--I think. It's harder to keep track without the ticker. I'm hoping to get caught up a bit over the next few days--a lot of medical appointments this month for my family has made it harder to get the exercise time. :ohwell: Too bad I can't bring a portable mini-treadmill for the long…

Depends on a lot of things--age, total weight gain, baby size, genetics, etc. I'm 42 and I've had four children. The youngest is eight and I've been working on getting into shape (off and on a bit, due to multiple family medical issues) for about two years. Four large pregnancies in nine years (two of my babies were over 9…

Ticker still defunct (?!) Did 5.5 miles on the elliptical for a total of 11.75.

Also having ticker issues. Added one mile for a total of 6.25.

I love Dr. Oz 'cause he's so sincere and really wants to help people...

And back! With a slow start, but i don't want to rush things after a whiplash diagnosis. Trying for 45.

My son doesn't have celiac disease, but he is intolerant to gluten (along with a whole bunch of other things--soy, dairy, nuts, eggs, fish, oats, rice, barley...the list goes on) Eating these foods will not kill him, but they will induce non-stop vomiting and retching. Like, 25-30 times a day non-stop. We have to watch his…

Walked a couple miles today--VERY slowly, but I was upright and moving around, so that's progress.

May not make my goal this month--I was in a car accident and have whiplash, so even walking is uncomfortable right now. Until I get the okay from my chiropractor, I don't think I'm going to be moving around too much. Heck, even sitting/standing is uncomfortable at the moment. (ETA: the accident was Tuesday. My car was a…

bumping for later

You could try roasting your veggies. My kids aren't vegetable crazy either, but if I roast them (green beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, peppers or a mix of several) with fresh garlic cloves and onions in a little olive oil, they are TO DIE FOR. and my kids gobble them up. Seriously, they are so incredibly…

In for 45 miles in July!

And....I MADE IT! Yay! In for next month!

Almost there! One more day...

Your BMI is on the lower end of the healthy range. Why do you think you need to lose weight? Perhaps you need to develop more muscle tone instead of trying to lose weight. It doesn't sound like you are mentally in a healthy place.
