I'm with you. This is an extremely personal choice, though and each person has to find what works for them. I have found for me, that paying money is not a motivator, it is a stresser. I know what I need to do (eat less and move more.) And fortunately MFP helps remind me to do just that. I'll be curious to see what…

Way to go!! Nice to know someone made it!!

Love Panera! And love that they post the calories right on their menu at the restaurant. I'll check out their website too! thanks for the tip.:flowerforyou:

Sleep!!

I like abolished! and it isn't coming back!!

Welcome!

Try taking it one choice at a time. We get so focused on the overall goal, we forget that it is the little steps that really got us there. I had a mini crisis this week, and I am refocused now on getting my water, logging everything and getting my exercise. Good luck to you!:flowerforyou:

Good luck to you! Anyone, any age can lose weight, you just have to be patient. Good job so far and take it one choice at a time.

He is a keeper! Nice to have a motivating partner. :drinker:

water and advil.

That is great!!! congratulations!!

This was great. Thanks for sharing. These are reminders I need every day.

Welcome! I just completed a half marathon in Sept after a 8 year break. I have about 23 more lbs to lose, but started 57 lbs ago. :ohwell: Good luck to you and feel free to add me.

Great advice! And it wasn't a total bomb, because you are being conscietious of what you are doing. That in and of itself is a step in the right direction!! Today is a new day and you are going to suceed. :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: I kept them, but I am getting rid of my fat clothes when they are too big to wear. Not going back, so no reason to hang on to them.

this is so true. Stay faith to logging and exercise and make sure you are getting enough calories. I bet you will see that loss this week.

I have a couple of bras that work well (Title Nine is a great place to shop online, because they will rank the bras based on support and size.) But for the other ones, I double up. compression is the biggest issue.

If you are familiar with the c25k program, this is a bridge to 10k that might be a great structure for you. Good luck!!

Oh sweetie, I have fallen off the wagon so many times, my body laughs when I start up again. I can say this time since January, I have been pretty good. I did things a bit differently this time: 1. I focused on one choice at a time. When deciding, I would take the healthier choice. If I failed, I would not let that bad…

smart *kitten* was my favorite!

I just finished my first half in a long time this month. (my profile pic is right after the half) I would tell you to focus on finishing and don't worry about how fast. On your long runs, try and work in water stations, because it is really hard to keep going when you are depleted. Make sure you taper the week before the…

Love it! you go girl!!:drinker:

If I haven't interacted with them much and don't have a real relationship (vitual/real, I mean. :ohwell: ) I will delete them.

Great job! That is the thing about reaching for the stars, if you fall short, you can still touch the moon!! :flowerforyou:

So true. I had to take it one choice at a time, but I was there too. You can totally do this!

I love my Polar FT4. When I did my research, the Polar brand got the best reviews. I got mine at ****s for about $80, but I would also look at best buy and online. I know others have found it online for much less than that. It is not overly complicated, but it gives me my average HR and calories burned. If you want to have…

I suggest you take some time and complete your profile. I found having to write down why I was here, what my goals are and what my inspirations are really helped me to commit. Good luck to you!!

Very interesting topic. Thanks for bringing it up.

I am always cold now. I hope that once my body gets used to it, I will feel warm again. But I totally freeze now.:grumble: But being cold is much better than being 54 lbs heavier. I can take off the sweater. :laugh:
