Sounds like good Challenge!! I will do my best!!!

I was having one of those days, scales did not show any change this morning, weather outside is cold and rainy. I have been sitting at my desk trying to talk myself into going to exercise class this evening. I haven't missed one since the first of the year but today has been hard. Your post and pic reminds me that I am…

I am not a runner and never will be but several of my friends and I have started signing up for 5Ks. Participated in my first one last Saturday and did it in 42:45. Scheduled to participated in my next one in two weeks. Hoping to beat my time by a minute or so. I was very impressed that I even finished!!!!!

I love Big Macs so will definitely give this a try!!! Looks easy too!!

Don't count your days!! This should be a lifestyle change and not a "diet"!! Just make smart choices and remember that you are going to feel much better as each day goes by!!!

Irysh - I feel the same way you do. I started first week of January on MTF and started a 6 week fitness class (4 days a week they kick my butt with cardio and strengh). I went from doing nothing and eating what I wanted to eating healthy, exercising and I am drinking 9-12 glasses of water a day. I feel like I should be…

1stday13 - I was wondering the same thing. I am 5'6" and wiegh 231. I wear a 20 in pants normally (of course the cut matters). I have large thighs and a smaller waist to finding pants has always been an issue. I was wearing a 14/16 when I weighed 180 lbs. I wear 1XL or 2XL tops. (38 H that does not seem to go away with…

Thanks for posting!!! I love a good inspirational story!!! You look great!! Glad you took pics along the way and that you are willing to share them with us!!! I know your daughter will be very glad to have you around for a long time!!!!

I'm in and done.

I have issues with wanting to binge in the evening too. I cleaned out my kitchen so if I really want to eat all there is to choose from is fruit, fruit and more fruit. I have started trying to do my excercising in the evening when I want to sit and watch TV. This seems to help keep me on track. You need to find something…

I'm in. Will add these to my workout tonight!

I know if your potassium is running low it can make your BP run high. You might want to check that. I take BP meds and a potassium pill every morning. Hoping to get off them when I get some weight off. Also, sometimes it is genetic and nothing seems to be wrong except it run high. My dad is that way, no apparent reason!!…

I love Chobani yogurt. It has a lot of protein so seems to hold me for several hours. If I do get alittle hunger I try to eat a piece of string cheese or fruit with peanut butter. Any type of protein should hold you. There are lots of great suggestions on here.

Way to go!!! I can't wait to get out of the 200's!!! I have 30 lbs to go but working on it each day. Seeing success by others helps keep me motivated!!!

Working on increasing my time on the Plank trying to get to 60 seconds. Today I will take this challenge and complete it during my lunch. Love these daily challenges. Keeps things interesting!!!!

Been fighting this battle all my life!!! Hopefully this year will be a good year!! I have started off right, just gotta stay on track. I am getting older and it is not going to get any easier. I don't want to be "skinny" just healthy.

I had my gallbladder removed in Dec 2005. This was after about 3 years of having horrible attacks that put me in the ER several times. They kept telling me I had Chest Wall Pain. It felt like I was having a heart attack it was so sharp and painful. Finally a friend said it sounded just like her pain and hers had been her…

Congrats on the success!!! I am just starting my journey but success stories like yours inspire me daily to keep going!!!

I had to do the drive thru today so had Zaxby's House Grilled Chicken Salad minus the fried onions and toast. Lite Ranch dressing.
