You could set your goal to be 160 and then reassess when you get there. I started with a goal of 50lbs in my first year and then I figured year two I would work on the last 20. I didn't quite hit 50 the first year, but I came pretty darn close. I still don't know what my end goal will be.

My mom worked all the time. No lie, my dad would hand my brother and me 5 dollars each and we could get what ever we wanted for dinner. We ate a lot of Domino's pizza. School lunches, and cereal for breakfast. If we wanted a cooked breakfast like eggs, we had to cook it oursellves.

You should have your personal trainer do your body fat % with the pinch and pull method. Sadly when you use a calulator that only uses height and weight it will not be accurate. Mose body builders with a lot of muscle will always show up as obese using those even though they have very little body fat. As with most things…

Good job.. You should be so proud. Thanks for sharing.

I was thinking about this just two days ago. Thanks for sharing it was very helpful.

I had the same issue. I have a quick speed adjust on my treadmill, so I hit the lower speed and then went up by small increments. I found that easier and I was able to impove my speed as I went along. That was encouraging as well.

Nice!!! Thanks for sharing. I love the exercise ball in the photo.

Those are some great NSV. I bet you will add a lot more when your journey is complete. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

I would concentrate on being healthy and keeping off the cigarettes for about a month or two, then work on weight loss again. Qitting smoking is more important at this time. The thing to be careful with there is, smoking raises your blood sugar, when your blood sugar goes down you crave another cigarette. Be careful not to…

When going up a single short flight of stairs leaves you gasping for breath. Yup, overwieght and outta shape.

That's nice. Thanks for sharing.

You could add it to your smoothies. I add mine to my oatmeal. The thing you want to make sure is that you use ground flaxseed. If you buy whole flaxseed you can grind it fresh yourself, I use gound flaxseed meal and store it in my freezer once I open it. The thing with whole, is your body can't break down the outer shell,…

His sister was my best friend. I had met him once and thought he was cute, but he had a girlfriend. He was much older and already moved out, so I didn't see him for like 6 years after that. He moved back home after he broke up with that girl and I was home from college visisting my friend. We all went out for drinks and…

I'm thinking there was something else that started the argument. Those things were said to distract you from the real reason he was mad. I would wait until he calms down and then you need to talk about this. You are married now and no one on either side of your family should get between your loyalties. He needs to…

I have five kids, Don't worry. Some kids never crawl, they only scoot. He/She, you didn't say and I can't tell by the picture is smart. Found his/her own way of getting around. That is what they are suppose to do. The only way to see if he/she would crawl if it weren't for the floors is to either put not slip knee pads on…

I'm not fully there yet, but I am working on it. Thanks for the info.

I like pizza drop. WIth the toothpicks sticking up and out of them, they remind me of bumper cars at and amusement park. If you were going for a non food name you could use that.

We might need more info. Does it need to be free of anything, like color, dyes anything scratchy? You could do scramled eggs cheese and with a soft shell make a burrito. It sounds like it needs to me soft, but not liquid. Pancakes are soft. soups, You need to make sure you are getting enough protien, so make sure you add…

That's why you have us. :bigsmile:

How about greek yogurt? Not all carbs are bad btw.

We really need a like button. *like* Congrats

You look fabulous. Thanks for sharing.

I used to be the same way with soda. I found it was the carbonation I was addicted to. I forced myself to get used to seltzer water. It was definitly and aquired taste, but it has helped me enormously. There are zero caories, zero sodium and no artificial sweeteners. I too was working from home and I can tell you it is…

You are sooooo right. I a picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks for sharing your successes with us. Keep up the good work.

WTG!! Keep up the good work.

That is why he is an old friend, you don't keep in touch with. You grew up he did not.

I don't know what would be more of a shock. Me knowing someone or me watching porn. :laugh: :laugh: I don't watch porn, so I can't imagine ever seeing anyone I know on there. I think it would freak me out.

congrats You deserve every bit of success. Thanks for sharing

The key to preventing these is to not get too attached to your clothes. They won't fit for long on you way down to your goal weight. Best wishes on more successes. p.s. At leat you did trip.:wink:

That's great. Keep up the good work.
