Do I have to turn this car around?

Sorry meant started at 240

Hi I started here at 230 now 219. I spin for 45 minutes 3X a week and for 60minutes 2X a week. I walk for 3-4 miles 2-3X a week and lift (hard---you have to sweat) 4 times a week and do some core work 4 times a week. I have a base of about 1300 calories and go up if I stall. Also, I have a gluten intolerance so I don't…

Nutthins by Diamond aren't bad, I only like the sea salt. Lentil chips are good. I have a gluten allergy so I stick with those and some tortilla chips when I am dying for something salty. My favorite is chickpeas cooked in a low oven 250-300F and you add whatever seasoning you want and they are these crunchy tasty healthy…

congratulations!

I prelog as well. If i do get the hungry horrors I try to eat protein

Pretty much everything is an estimate, food or exercise. I played with the numbers until I found an intake that allowed me to loose while I didn't eat my exercise calories--1570 is working for me now. I have that everyday, regardless of exercise. If I do something big like 2 or 3 hours of spin for a charity I go higher…

I just love the Luther clip!

You look great Good Job!

Fantastic---keep up the great work

This I would like to share a story my mother told me in the 1970s she heard from her yoga instructor. It is a taoist story. Two monks were on a pilgrimage. One day, they came to a deep river. At the edge of the river, a young woman sat weeping, because she was afraid to cross the river without help. She begged the two…

you look great

When I go in solo and work it is less time when I meet friends it is longer

Are you well hydrated or good fat in your diet. They may be dry, lotion will help the symptoms not the cause.

Love it!

In a salad with Wasabi Peas--mmmmm hot crunch and smooth avocado

When it comes to the days that were mentioned: birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc. I get up early and burn the calories and pre plan my day. I always start Thanksgiving or Christmas with a good hour walk, it is to calm my dogs down for the day but also it acts as a de-stresser for me so I am up mentally for the day…

Excellent

I am proud because despite the blizzard, I did't fall into old food and couch habits. I got out and walked 5 miles before the storm, shoveled for 1/2 hour last night then got up and snowshoed for 1/2 an hour in hip deep drifts and shoveled for an hour. Only want to nourish my body now not put junk in it. Big change mentally

For me I go by the daily. I am a different case though. I did Weight Watchers and they have the whole carry over of exercise and points. I have some metabolic issues due to a gluten intolerance being undiagnosed for 40+ years. I had no weight loss with weekly but with daily it has been steady. Because of my metabolism…

You two look great. You actually look like you could be the kids of the people in the first picture!

My husband can't cook and has tried but the fire department came so there is no more of that! When we got married 23 years ago we made a deal I cook he cleans. I am a messy cook, I make a from scratch hot meal every night after work and on the weekends. Then I walk away. He cleans it all up. I love to cook but hate to…

She is just being a jerk.. Get a new doctor and let them know exactly why you are leaving. She should be encouraging you not belittling you. You are doing fine and keep exercising, it does wonders for you, not just weight loss but bp, cholesterol, lowers your heart rate, reduces stress AND is fun! Maybe a house will fall…

the only spot reducer is "shout" for laundry

You look incredible.

Ok just a thought. When was your last complete physical. I had been on WW for a year as of last April (2012) and had lost an amazing 4lbs!!! So discouraging and I kept trucking through. Talked to my doctor, told her Atkins worked but didn't see it as a lifestyle I could do. She had me add back in some sugar, I was fine,…

You look great!

i always get up about 30-40 minutes before, have coffee, the warm liquid helps. move around and wake up your sytem. It has worked for me for years.

WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You look fantastic. Congratulations
