  • I really started this healthy lifestyle journey Jan 1 2012. As of Oct 1 2012 I was down 30 lbs. As of Jan 1 2013, I was down those same 30 lbs. I was frustrated too. But then I reviewed my up and down history. Through out the course of a year, I often lost weight, but then put it all back on. 30 lbs is something to be…
  • I hate my before pictures. Mostly becuase I feel I was not at all atractive when I was heavier. When I first started losing weight, it was primarily vanity based. I do not find overweight people attractive. I also do not find underweight people attractive. As I started to lose weight, I have evolved. I still do not find…
  • Thank you, thank you, thank you! For reminding me how important non scale victories are! Since I began my journey, I am down 30 lbs. However, in the last few weeks, it's started to creep back on. I'm still in my smallest pants, but I know it's not all muscle. So I'm on here and tracking! I hate tracking. But I know it…
  • What worked best for me was changing the habits of when and where I smoked. It is a slower process, but made it a lot easier to just stop. 1st I cut it out of my car. I use to smoke anywhere from 5-10 a day in my car!! Everytime I got in the car, I lit up. So one weekend I cleaned my car out really good, changed the air…
  • Other airlines are considering it too. I read an article about a Norwegian airline that is considering it. I would say as long as the seats are adjustable to accomodate the larger person who is paying for more space, then go for it. I fly often and dred getting stuck between 2 people who are too large for the alotted seat…
  • thanks for these! some of them look really yummy. I am always looking for a nice side to finish off my meals. I also understand what you are saying about the salad and filler foods to help your stomach (and mind) learn what the new full is. When I tried weight watchers I added green beans to almost everything for the first…
  • It doesn't hurt to do a digestive cleanse every now and then. I have spoken to both my doctor and nutritionist about this. While your digestive tract is designed to "clean" itself, there are a lot of things most Americans eat that our bodies don't process as well. First and foremost, a healthy, balanced diet full of fruits…
  • I understand what you are thinking. I am 5'7" and couldn't tell you what my heaviest was. But it was over 200lbs. When I started losing weight, the numbers really got to me. How could I look healthy at 150? Well, last year I lost 30lbs, and have kept it off. The first 10, I didn't really notice. The next 10, I was in…
