I QUIT 6 YEARS AGO!! I had smoked 1 -2 packs a day for 16 years!!! I went and had the cold laser therapy, it cost about $170. I had no headaches, no cranky, no stomach achs nothing. The next day I even stood around people who were smoking and was fine. Haven't picked one up since! You can do it!!!!! You will need to find…

I am 5'7" and my heaviest ever at 172....I was 120-125 till I quit smoking then started eating! I then went up to 145, and then went up again. You can look it up and a healthy weight for our height is about 140-145, however it depends on how you feel. My lightest was 118 but I was training for a competition and I felt…

I would be happy to!!!! Let's support eachother!

That is truly inspiraional. I admire your dedication and strong will. You look amazing!

Thank you all for your ideas/opinins and support!! It truly means so much! I weighed my self theis am after drinking green tea and much more water than normal yesterday and was 2lbs lighter!!! Makes me feel better....Now just 45.bs to go! :)

I truly appreciate everyone responding!!!! Any and all help/ideas are truly more than welcome. Also if you would like you can send me a freind request....the more support the better I think, because there is someone to be accountable to (besides myself) Thank you everyone!

Hey thanks for your reply.....yes I'm being honest. I wear a heart rate monitor in order to be sure. I record my exercise but if I burn for instance 500 cal. MFP adds 500 cal that I am allowed to eat. I generally don't do that. I will friend you and you can see my food and exercise.

What type of protein have you added and how much per day? my dietitian said i should get 90grams/day.

If you have Netflix they also have workout videos that you can watch instantly!

Unless you are lifting weights quite a bit I would cut down on the protein......too much can ruin your liver.

WOW that is completely AWESOME!!!!

Wolfy - Your BMR is your basil metabolic rate....this is the amount of calories it takes your body to survive if you did nothing but laid in bed all day. However, it assigning you a caloric intake of 2000something calories seems high. I am 166lbs and my daily calories is 1490/day in order to lose 1-2lbs/week. I went to a…

Garbanzo beans and just a little sun dried tomato fetta!!

That is great.....now you have another goal ----to beat that run!! Way To Go! Awesome Job!!

First......why do you want to go to the protein shake???? You may want to consider a well balanced diet with the right protein and good fiber will fill you up and you will get the proper amt. of protein. To much protein may result in weight gain! Not enough fiber and you may end up more hungry than before. Just check it…

You will do GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! No worries!!! Think positive!!!

Same as the other two gals - drinking lots of water and no sodium works really well!!

Good luck - I hope to have as good of results as you have had!:happy:

I am sure you will do great...remember you can access it from an app. on your phone also!

Hi Casmri - I am new on here to. Went to a dietitian the other day and she told me about this site. What is cool is it is also a free app. on my phone so I can track where ever I am, which I really like. Good luck with your goals!
