Everyone looks amazing! Nice job

That's so cool! Way to stand up for yourself!

You can add me! I know its not a req but I happen to be from Cali too ;P

Making your goal 50 pounds by August? Awesome! Do some math and see what that looks like week to week so you can stay motivated and encouraged short term too. Simplify. It's the easiest way to start. I used to get carried away trying to cram as much healthy food into one meal as I could. I found out you can get fat on…

Hey friend! I think weight loss buddies are awesome. Sometimes I for sure get motivated when I see what people are doing and eating and I want to encourage them by staying strong too. If you're looking for that I'm here for ya! So long as you don't hold it against me when I slip up now and again. After all we are only…

Sometimes it isn't always a matter of planning, just doing. Don't say "I'm going to start on Monday". You start when you start, so as soon as you start you can say that you started. And hang out in the Success Stories forum! Its encouraging to see the mini and MAJOR victories that people have and it always inspires me to…

This is so amazing! It's so awesome seeing where people come from and how they get to where they are. I love seeing what drove you. Keep it up!

I would start with body weight workouts that may or may not incorporate resistance bands. They provide similar resistance and you can use them for nearly everything and then some that you can use weights for. At least my thoughts on starting out. I'd encourage you to check out some high intensity workouts that incorporate…

I had done it! Then I broke my foot and it all found be back. But my focus is renewed and I soon plan on being back down to the 130's. Even the 140's sound good to me right now! I'm 5'5, started at 165, after is 135

Feel free to friend me! So cool you found yourself here. Best of wishes!

Look forward to posting some of my own soon. Great motivation!

MFP is just short for MyFitnessPal. You can do it! Starting is the hardest but motivccess is right, its important to have fun with it. After you get started you learn to enjoy the process and start setting little goals to accomplish daily or weekly to keep you going strong! Feel free to add me if ya like. Best of wishes!

The pain varies. Sometimes it is prickly, most of the time its shooting pain with minor aches and throbs. Everything makes the pain vary, the weather, how I slept, what I ate. If its hot out my foot throbs. If its cold it feels like a million icicles are bursting through my bone. If I eat too many processed foods, it…

Thanks! I have actually been accomplishing through #3. I feel like I just got the rest of the handbook. And yes those blasted 10 pounds have found me. Definitely changing my focus from my aggravating lack of exercise to my diet would be the next best thing I could do while I rest my foot.

Yes. The doctor said even with the boot it would be difficult to take the pressure entirely off it because it's sub a key part of the foot. I noticed when wearing it that it caused me greater pain than my regular shoes. I opted for crutches which also made my foot ache, but I timed it with anti-inflammatories to help. I…

We talked about surgery too. He said the only surgery they could perform was to actually remove the bone. Definitely my last resort.

It was officially diagnosed as an aligned sesamoid bone fracture. The orthopedic specialist gave me a boot. He said it could take 6 weeks or 6 months or 6 years. He said it is a hard bone to predict. I don't recall having an "I just broke my foot moment". The doc said it was probably some traumatic up and down jumping like…

Haha yes I've had my bout of doctors. X-rays, MRI's, the most honest thing I got from all of the was "well that is just an unlucky bone to break". As you can imagine it's not the most helpful advice. Pretty much they said try these things and see what helps. So far no luck

That's ridiculously awesome! So cool that you figured out what was going to keep you going. Beating the depression, accepting where you where and agreeing on where you need to be. It's so amazing how far you've come! Congrats

Water is zero calories. Also it regulates your bodily functions, makes you feel a bit energized, it keeps your metabolism spinning, it lubricates joints and is excellent for your muscles, and it also helps prevent an entire array of health/physical problems... Again, 0 calories

I'm sure that your body knows the difference. It sounds like its time to switch it up. Start a new program to create some muscle confusion. Let variety be the spice of life.

So awesome!

So awesome! I hope I'll be able to wear a strapless soon!

Sweeet! Congrats!

That's crazy! It's motivational especially for someone like me who has always had a little meat on their bones. Stick with it!

Only look forward, and its all uphill from here.

You look so happy! and healthy:)

You look awesome! Congrats on sticking with it!

I bet you're really looking forward to that cruise now;D

Thanks for all the imput! Didn't mean to start a fight guys haha. I have been really bad on my protein lately, and I've been really crunching on the nuts:/
