  • I need to lose about 40-50....(doctor wants more, but I would be far too thin if I went with her recommendation). The only thing is the scale reflects the high number but I definitely do not look like I should lose that much....
  • I have had success with Jamieson's Body Guard Joint and Bone Health vitamins. I have knee pain, sometimes wakes me up, sometimes super swollen. It seems to be really helping. That and upping my protein (I was super low on that). Good Luck
  • Add the rest of the container of yogurt. Buy the fat free containers, Oikos is around 100 cal and lots of protein.
  • How is everyone doing? We are a few days in for most...everyone feeling it in their quads?
  • Starting today....going to add in sometime on the elliptical until the Temps here warm up...then I'll head outside walking. Please add me...gonna need the support...
  • My trigger food (better PC choice of wording I guess) would be Skittles....and not just any Skittles...they have to be Sour Skittles!!!! And don't ever think about handing me anything other than the big bag of them.....I joined Herbal Magic years ago (and quit years ago!!! What you can't have peanut butter.....not bloody…
  • I feel your pain. I have 3 Provincial Law exams to write in the next 5 months and I work full time too. Something had to give and it has been my exercise. But the less I move the harder the studying gets, so I figure I will take a 30 minute time out and get in some exercise to help everything come together. I have spent…
  • I just steam them, and when they are done I toss them in a pan with a little parmesean cheese, salt and pepper.
  • Pink Floyd, Rush, Eminem (sorry...but gotta love the old stuff), Saga, even venture into the "crappy" 80's (although that music defined our generation)..stuff by Carol Pope, Toronto, Platinum Blonde, (dare it say it Wham)...Joan Jett, the Cars, the Police....
  • \ Agreed...why do people assume sweating equal effort. A hot flash does not mean that you are working out...yet you can be sweating buckets.
  • As I've said before...you are a rock star!!!
  • Great Post!! My meth...Sour Keys and Sour Skittles,,,,no sense in buying the small bag, I'll just have to buy two or three of them. But do I eat them every day (not any more)...If I want them, I have them and move on from them...We are in charge of our bodies, no one is tying you down to eat something...Eat it if you crave…
  • You ate it, you owned it and you realized what you did. It happens and the fact that you recognized that you would have done worse previously is a good thing!
  • I want to get fit...meaning I want to lose the extra fat, build my endurance and tone my muscles. I am trying to get into a better physical place, more for health than anything else (and ya, looking better is a great side effect), but I want to be healthy. I don't eat a lot of red meat (long story but we'll say my body…
  • Luv it!!!:heart:
  • It wasn't so much as fall as a stepping off. I knew that I could not control what others would be making for me. I controlled what I could, and when the food was someone else's preparation, I could only control my portions. I knew going into the Holidays that there would be times when things would be less than perfect, but…
  • Sometimes it's jealousy (and people don't always know the right way to handle that emotion) and sometimes it's just a natural concern (are you losing weight because you want to or is there something wrong, are you sick). Because weight loss is such a personal thing but is very visable to the world people just don't know…
  • Oh, no...no one else on Feb 21...yet I work with 2 people that share my day!!!
  • The smile on your face says it all. Congrats!!!
  • So, here's the other side of the coin. I'm 5ft 4.5 (yes that half inch is so important) and I weigh WAY more than any of the posters. I am a little overweight but I am also 50 (almost 51). I know I need to lose weight and I am working on it, but I cannot for the life of me visualize myself being 120 pounds. It's not that I…
  • Well Said!!!!!
  • Feel free to add me....friends aren't like pounds...the more the better!!!!
  • I think that the number on the lable is not a great indicator. Sizes vary from company to company, and year to year. I worked in retail years ago and I remember a major company here in Canada changed their sizing scale on their lines....they tailored their clothing smaller so everyone had to move up a size (seriously, what…
  • Just signed up this morning...BEFORE I started the day! We can all do this, so why not do it together. Feel free to add me, I'll post my profile info later today, but as a start...I am 50 and live in the Niagara Wine Region of Ontario, about 20 minutes from Niagara Falls. :flowerforyou: :wink:
