I have Phil 4:13 tattooed on my left wrist to remind me that I can do all things because I tend to forget... a lot. I am a runner.. a runner who became injured and had to have hip surgery this past October. Unable to use my right leg for 6 weeks. I lost a ton muscle in my right thigh and gained over 25 lbs (this is 25 of…

Im from the Syracuse area!

Thank you everyone for your wonderful words! :flowerforyou: :heart:

Wife and mother... also full-time Paralegal for Real Estate Lawyers.

Ive been here before. I lost 80 + lbs then gradually gained it back, got pregnant and gained just about all of it back. It took until my son was 6 months old to kick my butt in gear to get back to were I was. Emotionally it was hard because I had to start all over again and I knew how hard it was the first time around. Im…

I am 5'3. When I was my heaviest at 205 I was in a 16/18 Now I am 130 and I can wear anywhere from a 2 in misses to a 7 in juniors.

I work 830-530 every day. I have to get myself up at 6 to get myself and my 2 year old ready. I dont get home till almost 6 at night. That's not a lot of time to make dinner and care for my son. I ALWAYS find the time. If you want it bad enough you will MAKE the time. Just give your self a half extra hour in the morning to…

5'3 130lbs

I have to keep my self occupied with something else. Sometimes that means scrubbing the bathroom or kitchen floor. Get lost in a good book. I did that a bunch this week. Ive been running as soon as I get home so I eat a late dinner and don't have time to snack.

I went from a 40D to a 36C.

I have not changed my workout since I've been at goal. Only because I have a running goal of completing a half marathon in March 2014. Depending on my week I run anywhere from 3-4 days a week with a day of cross training in between.

bahahaha!! :laugh:

I never thought to look at my calories as a weekly whole. Thank's for that suggestion! Time to sit down and figure out numbers! :)

Thank you everyone for your input. I have struggled with depression for about 12 years or so now. Off and on meds. I know it might be a reason I am struggling now. I have not done any weight training and may need to look into it. I have turbo jam with the sculpt and toning maybe I could start there. Thanks again, its much…

I started maintenance last month. I slowly have added calories back into my diet. And I must admit its tough.

Interesting! I guessed 15% to big. But I already know I have a distorted image of myself.

LOVE! Its been a long time since I felt that way. But I do remember what it felt like! Looks like I need to find something new to wear :-)

I got my husband to join as well. He lost the 20 lbs he wanted to and is currently maintaining his WL. I have lost 75+ and an working on maintaining as well.

Observation:: When Jesus is in our hearts and he stays there we say and do good things just like he does. Don't let evil enter your hearts otherwise we say and do evil things. Jesus NEEDS to be the solid foundation of our lives in order for us to live and stand strong! A Life without Jesus as our foundation surely will…

Observation: *God is the only one with the authority to judge ANYONE. *Its not our place to judge. God frowns upon this when we do. *Forgive just as we have been forgiven. Application: *I will not look down upon anyone in any situation. Its mine or anyone else place to criticize. I will leave that to God. *Forgive those…

Observation: I myself find it difficult to "love my enemy". God Loves ALL people we are after all HIS creation, even the sinners. We are being told to do good to ALL people, even those who do no good to you. Show love, be compassionate and merciful just as god is to us, even when we are selves are caught up with sin.…

Observation: * Jesus prayed a lot before choosing his disciples * God blesses us and provides for all of our needs when we walk with Jesus * At all times during all situations we need to keep our focus on the Lord. Do not let the enemy come between the two of us * Our salvation comes from our faith in our Father's Son. The…

Observation: * It was the Sabbath, a Jewish holiday * Jesus was working/doing good deeds which was forbidden by the Pharisees * Jesus healed man * Laws/teachings of man are not the truth we need to see and listen too Application: * I need to do more good DAILY just as Jesus did * I need to remember the Truth in GODS word…

Thanks! I am going to print the study guide and begin the second half.
