Those little cakes sound amazing! I just discovered Arctic Zero ice cream. The whole pint is just 150 calories! Which, let's face it, is amazing for days with weaker willpower. Don't expect Ben & Jerry's, though. It's more like a frozen (tasty) protein shake, but it does have 8 grams fiber and 14 grams of protein per pint.…

I'm not sure exactly how much of a beginner you are, but if you are starting at square one (the way I did lol) you might want to try the couch to 5k program. You can find it at http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml It was so amazing for me. I had never been able to run, but it builds you up slowly. I went from…

Congrats, Mawmaw! You look so good and I'm so proud of you and happy that you're improving your health! You have done such a great job. I love you very very much!

Awesome!!! You're doing such a fantastic job. And it looks like you're ready for the next size down! What a great feeling! Keep it up.

Also, where is there a mothman statue and why haven't I been? :)

You're looking so good, Aunt Judy! I can't wait to see you in person! I'm so happy you're on this site and getting healthy with us. Great job! I love you.

I did it at a local running store, but fleet feet is a good national chain that does it. Just my (unsolicited lol) two cents: if you don't overpronate and like a more minimal shoe, I highly recommend the saucony kinvara. Love my pair!

Welcome! You'll love myfitnesspal. It is so helpful and everyone is very supportive and friendly. I'll send you a request.

Thanks! I really started losing in early May of last year. The after pic was taken right around Christmas. I have been maintaining since then, but I have recently decided to lose the last ten pounds and tone up. My diary is open to friends so if you want to have a look, feel free to add me. I was vegan for a good part of…

Wow thanks so much everyone! You all sure know how to make a girl feel good! I love the atmosphere at myfitnesspal so much. Everyone is very helpful and supportive. Thanks for celebrating with me!

Wow you look so fantastic!!! So pretty and so much younger. And your lunch looks really delicious.

Thanks, Mawmaw. Love you!

Aw. You're gonna make me cry. Lol. Love you too!

I definitely did not complete it in the nine weeks it's supposed to take. More like 6 months lol. I never could run before. Even in grade school when we were supposed to do the mile run for the presidential fitness test. I always started out for the first few seconds, but then watched all the other kids pass me and had to…

Only exercise, exercise, exercise!!! The couch-to-5k program has been absolutely life-changing for me. I'm a runner now! I started out hardly being able to jog 30 seconds at a time and I'm doing 3 mile runs pretty regularly now. I would recommend the program to anyone. Not just for the weight loss that comes with running,…

Thanks! I'm very short - only 5'2''

Wow thanks everyone! I wasn't expecting such a response so quickly. Thank you for all the kind words!

I can't tell you how wonderful the program has been for me. When I first started, W1D1 was hell for me. I didn't think I could get through even the 60 seconds of jogging. I absolutely wanted to quit and give up. Lucky for me, I have a runner friend who wouldn't let me. I stuck with it and this past Friday I ran 5k for the…

Mom - I'm so proud of you and love you lots! You truly do look amazing!!! I love knowing that you're healthier now and I'm looking forward to our 5k in the fall.

What part of TN? I'm in Knoxville. Welcome! This site has been an absolute lifesaver for me. I hope you find it as useful as I have.

Oatmeal with 1 tbs pumpkin butter is my absolute favorite breakfast!
