PIZZA!!!!!!

I sent you a request. I am always looking for others to motivate and be motivated!

I will give it my best shot. First of all, give yourself credit for a job well done and celebrate your achievement! Perhaps you need to change your focus from “skinny” to “healthy.” That word skinny gets thrown around so much and is that really your goal? How do you feel these days? How does your body feel? Do you have…

I am not certain if you are talking about clinical depression or just going through a rough spot, but I will try and keep this short and to the point. Don’t give up on yourself. That is the first rule and that means keep nourishing your body with good food choices and keep the exercise going. Some days are easier than…

I had the same reaction when I saw that a few weeks ago. It was just one of those moments when I was stunned into reality. It stuck with me too and thanks for sharing your thoughts. :smile:

I feel your pain. I posted something similar a few days ago. I LOVE soda and my drug of choice was MDew. I have not touched one since September. I started drinking green tea with honey in the morning (and one in the afternoon). I drink water ALL DAY now and sometimes I even drink seltzer water as a treat ('cause I love the…

I just sent you a request. I am a stress eater myself, but am learning to make better choices. I would love to follow you on your journey to a more healthful lifestyle. Anyone can feel free to add me as well. :smile:

One liter down and starting on #2!!!!!

Thanks for all the feedback!

I sent you a request. I am 5' 4'' and started this journey towards a healthier lifestyle in August at 178 lbs. Anyone can feel free to add me as well. :happy:

This is the first time I am seeing this walking challenge. Love it! :smile:

I am so sorry that you are having a rough time with this because having your family on board with you would be ideal, but it is not always the reality. I can see how this would drive you to your wits end and I don’t want you to reach that point where you don’t care anymore. The fact that you said you don’t want to give up…

I sent you a request. I am always happy to add friends. I love seeing the motivating posts from others and I do my best to motivate as well. This is a journey to heathy new you and you are so worth it. Anyone can feel free to add me.

A few months ago I cut out my glass (or two or three) of wine during the week. I also started to limit what I did drink on the weekends. It has made an impact on not only losing weight, but feeling better. Over the holiday, I was off from work and visiting friends and family so I did drink during the week, but now that the…

Anyone here can feel free to add me! I am always looking for others to help motivate and like to be motivated. It is win-win for all!

You just totally made my Friday even better!!!!! Great way to start a day. Thanks so much for sharing! :laugh:

Besides eating much healthier, I have gone without a soda for over 2 months now!!! I have also been stopped by people at work telling me I look like I have lost weight. When I tell them I have, many have asked how I am doing it and I have actually motivated a few other people to do it too!

You can add me :)

Feel free to add me :)

Tthis one was too funny! Love it!

I have had this happen to me as well. I was curious because I have read that your weight will go up and down during the day. I weighed myself several times one day just to see and actually had as much as a 4 pound difference. At first I thought something was wrong with the scale. So then I grabbed my 2 pound weights (2 of…

I use Leslie Sansone's walking dvds. She has a bunch of them. She is a lower impact so that might be a good place to start. She has very simple, basic steps but that does not mean it is not a good workout. A friend just told me recently you can find her on you tube. This would be a good way to check her out (or some of the…

Another thing that has helped me has been replacing any down time that I do have with either sneaking in a quick walk and also picking up a magazine or two that focus on fit and healthy lifestyles. I think the more you surround yourself with health and fitness the more it inspires you. Back in August when I started this…

This is great advice! I actually started doing this during the fall season for both my son and my daughter. It was better than sitting on my butt while the kids were running out there on the field. I actually started to get disappointed when it was getting darker a little earlier and the practice time was cut short! I have…

This is great news! WOW! It makes logging your meals on the weekends sooooo much easier too!

This is FANTASTIC news!!! I am so happy for you!

Most of what I would say has been posted above so I will only add this: Do not get freaked out or discouraged if you get a panic attack from time to time even though you have made these great and long lasting changes. Every now and then I will still feel one creeping up on me and I just have to calmly talk myself down and…

Oh sorry - I forgot to add HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!

I think you handled it beautifully! That was really nice that she made it for you and it was kind of you to accept it. Just because you did not work it off today, that is okay. You can still work it off. I agree with nre820-You can run extra hard tomorrow. My nutritionist made me laugh when she said she will workout a…

Request sent :)
