Wow, amazing story, and amazing weight loss- you are awesome!

I was interpreting for my pastor's wife in Cuba, and they killed a lamb in the backyard and served it to us. Also have some Amish friends near here in Indiana, and they killed the chickens, then we de-feathered them. Ugh...

Remember on the Biggest Loser they always have an awesome week the first week, then don't do so well the second week, as the body is in shock. Also, the body can fluctuate by as much as 5 pounds each DAY, so only weighing in once a week is a good idea. Good for you on so quickly giving up the Mello Yello habit- that in…

I finally stopped tracking sugars, when an apple and a cup of milk put me over for the day! I wouldn't worry about it if it's "healthy" sugars- just worry about the "real/nasty" sugars in candy, cakes, etc. Good luck!

I have a treadmill that folds up- when folded, it only takes up 2feet by 2 feet or so... I have also tried Supreme 90 day- it's 10 workout DVDs for $20, and only requires a yoga ball and some weights. Similar to P90X, but WAY cheaper. I happen to be blessed with a spare room in my house, so I also have an elliptical. I…

Weigh- once a week on Saturday mornings is my "official" weigh-in. More often than that frustrates me, because your weight can fluctuate 5 pounds a day!

Welcome! You'll love it here! Hubby and I had our first baby 11 months ago. Feel free to friend me! ~Khrys

awesome job- keep up the good work!

Inserts might help- you can try those Dr. Scholl's ones they have at various stores (where you actually step on a machine and it figures out what arch you need). I have inserts I got from an infomercial that I wear in every pair of shoes- they really help. Good luck!

Yeah, it's on here under food as negative 500 calories. Be careful with logging that as that amount though, I for some reason didn't burn nearly that amount just breastfeeding, and ended up gaining weight, even though I was technically under cals each day.... Hope all goes well!

Wow, good for you! Best of luck to you on your journey!

Do you like fruits? If so, you could eat whatever veggies you DO like, and have the rest of your servings of veggies/fruits be fruit. Just make small changes at a time. For me, I'm a sugar addict, so instead of jumping right to "eating totally healthy," I try to cut sugar (not the natural kind, the kind in candy, cake,…

Good for you! FANTASTIC progress!

Except for people who were my friends from the very beginning (and people I actually know), I delete after around 3 months of activity. Also just posted a note that I'll be whittling down people who don't comment on my posts at least once a month, as I try to comment on EVERYONE at least three times a week. I'm here for…

We've had record-breaking heat here this summer (actual temps of over 100, plus humidity), and I have a baby. I'll walk while pushing her in the stroller outside if it's cool, but don't want her to get overheated. Plus, traffic, etc. If indoors, the TV distracts me and helps me go longer. I do enjoy walking outside if it's…

Smallville, although it's not on anymore- still watch the DVDs once a year! Am just completely a TV addict, so love tons of other shows, too!
-
I'm with "new moons" statement on this one- it's recommended you weigh in just once a week, because the body can fluctuate by as much as 5 pounds every day due to water weight, etc. Good luck to you!

I like Lilly of France underwire. Usually get them from kohl's- they're $32, but Kohl's has sales all the time. They're not "pretty," but do the job! Thick straps and adustable width. I'm usually a C, but got up to DD while pregnant, and they worked great!
-
Yeah, click to edit your previous entries, then just delete the first one and put in your actual starting weight.
-
If you've got the space and the money, I really like my Bowflex- can do tons of strength exercises as well as use it as a rowing machine. I also use my elliptical and treadmill a ton. But, for things that don't take up much space or $$$, stretch bands, weights, and just your body weight work great! Good luck to you!

2 1/2 years, and got married when we'd been dating 3 1/2 years. I was 31 when we got married, so didn't want to wait much longer! Good luck!
-
I think you look great!
-
I taped it- gonna watch it later while I work out- inspires me to keep going and going and going....

I usually just pick a listed workout that is closest- aerobics general, etc. according to the calorie burn listed. You can do a search in Exercise database.
-
I'm a sugar addict also- the only thing I've found that works is to go cold turkey- if I can make it past 4 days with no sugar, I find I don't crave it anymore and can have it once in a while. However, if I then have sugar again two days in a row, I'm back to the starting point. Good luck!
-
Good for you! Keep up the great work!

Yes, you'll get stronger and stronger. 20 minutes on the elliptical is AWESOME! When I was working on getting in shape, I could only do 5 minutes at a time and the most I was ever able to do was 25. Had a baby in December and am workiing on gettingback in shape- had to start with 5 minutes again, and can now do between…

I have noticed that the heavier you are, the more you burn doing activities, and as you get lighter, you burn less and less, because you're not carrying around as much weight. Maybe your friends weigh more than you, or maybe they're doing crazy workouts! Just keep doing what you're doing- 400 calories is an AWESOME burn!

I love my ellptical, especially if I'm watching a DVD to make time go even faster.... burns 10+ calories/minute.
