@iLive2Walk Darlene, I'm still on info overload on new (not the first time) journey. Just noticed you are SO close to your goal. I appreciate your history . . . it gave me inspirational grin and then read you have a Goldendoodle. Another smile, as we had a Golden. (absolutely loving breed). Ha, we have a German Shepherd…

@cattherien Charlene, sorry to hear of your friend/client loss. I know you expressed concern of crying in front of the family. I hope you remain you. If a tear falls, it's you . . . and it says a lot without saying a word. I get the professionalism but speaking from my observations the family understands. My BIL passed…

@iLive2Walk thank you for the YT suggestions, I will definitely take a look. I walk (truth be told I stroll) at least 3x/day) to give my German Shepherd outlet for her energy. She runs, I pitch a toy. This might be a good way to incorporate, and I pick my pace up.

I got completely off blood pressure medicine last year, a great NSV but I always felt I would have to go back on. Doc said this week, stop fretting over BP and accept the fact I'm off the medication. I needed to hear this.

Hi There. It's 2 days till September but I'm new to this group and couldn't wait. I am retired. Hubby and I both overweight. He chose to go on a Mediterranean diet. I lost 62lbs, he did not. That was last year. I gained 9lbs this year. I am presently 219lbs and have no intention to gain another pound. I honestly don't know…

Hi CS. Glad to hear you are back focused. Agree can be frustrating. I have a family member that does Keto, I think he called it dirty Keto. He had done well with it, notable weight loss. I am doing Mediterranean and actually surprised myself how much I like. Seasoning and fresh veggies. I'm curious do you know what was the…

Last year I bit the bullet and cleared the pantry of prepacked foods. The weight literally came off with just that change. I was amazed how simple changes occurred with my body. I still have a way to go and need now to review further my caloric intake and macros. But I'm absolutely sold there is no good that comes from…

I get the frustration when you cannot connect or it falters with nutritionist (or other health care individuals). I think it is great you are seeking specific questions to better use your time with your next meeting. Honestly, I tried several, a nutritionist and two dieticians and could not seem to make the connect. The…

Agree, Blake was a bit "me-ish". As soon as she and red team weighed she knew she was in trouble. Agree the white team kept focus with so much temptation . . . A great example for us.

Go Damian. Go Blue team. Glad to see they are still in the game

Go White team! 31lbs lost in Sin City

White team is going to bring the weight in. Ah-h-h-h . . . I hate the commercial break build up to make you wait for the weight. . . . But Woody is going to do it!!

Laundry and playing with dog. White team doing good. Climbing the Eiffel tower, swimming . . . they are doing great. I loved the filling the champagne glasses and then dumping them.

My taping of show was lost but found the BL site had episodes. So got creative with the commercial challenge. I did static deep knee bends on total gym. Next day and I am FEELINGi it!!!

Candy is no longer a problem.

I have recently picked up a bad habit of eating hard candy, daily. Fireballs, life saver peppermints and werthers. Even though werthers is sugar free, it has opened up a bad habit. So I am dropping hard candy!!!!

Had to chuckle. I'm reading the description of the exercise thinking my body is not ready for that and the next paragraph is "for a harder version" . . . So yeah . . . A modification will have to be done ; ) I can only imagine the capabilities my body will be able to do in some things. But hey I can go down the stairs with…

For me, I use all sources as lose guidelines. From MFP, my doc, my dietician, etc. We are all individuals first and foremost. Important thing is to use your resources to fit your personal needs. An example is I have hypothyroid, low metabolism and a low heart rate. And all of my trusted resources differ in calorie intake…

Fun site. For me, losing a large amount of weight I have always sought a visual to place in my mind. Since it has been decades for me to be at a healthy weight the visual has been difficult. The incentive of putting up an old photo of myself wasn't doing it for me, since we're talking decades ago. So this site fills that…

I would take a shirt off when that weight of the shirt made the difference in team winning or gling home. I too Kyoung, I weigh nude. Then I'm not thinking those jeans were heavier then something else I wore the following day. Sounds like it was a good show. Will watch recording next week. Off traveling. My Dads 90th…

Having go to foods available to me, when I'm to tired to make a decent meal. Music (which keeps me motivated) Information (I'm always reading/educating myself) to improve my lifestyle. And I would normally dismiss this . . . but loved how one poster said cute workout attire. I have lost enough weight that I'm kind of…

I could not jump in with both feet (so to speak) when I started. I approached my "start" as changing one habit at a time. I picked one thing and found a way to improve on it. I would only work on that one thing until it was a habit. I enjoyed sweet tea, I changed to artificial sweetener, then to just lemon and tea, and…

I like the Hershey dark chocolate kisses . . . but now I'm wondering if they are the best?

I connected up with Jen's facebook page. Funny as she, Dolvett, and Jessie have a small clip of their imitating one another. She nails Dolvett.

I thought I would share one of my favorite blogs that provides a large amount of nutritional recipes. http://www.eatingbirdfood.com/about-me/ I had to relearn how to cook veggies. One of my favorite is roasted okra from her site. A huge important change from eating southern fried food.

Its a shame, but with the upgrade MFP had us blocked out from posting anything for a bit and then on top of that finding "groups" is a bit different also. Not much on social networking . . . but interested in seeing if I can find trainer facebook pages will just have see.

I also only heard anything after 25- 30 lbs. It was minimal. Today one of customers I have not seen in a while came in and just dropped jaw. The comment following took me by surprise as she said the girls have been talking about me. I commented I hope it was all good. Then she added, yes, they said you were looking…

I use this one ALOT. It puts things in prospective.

I LOVE the subject line. It tells of your tenacity and lets others know . . . it doesn't come with quick results. You have done wonderful!! No doubt you feel wonderful too!!
