I have a reward set up for my 12 week mark - a luxurious body scrub/wrap/facial treatment at the spa. This is definitely a treat for me, because I normally don't want to spend over $100 on anything that isn't tangible. Plunking down that kind of cash for just an "experience" (even one that will leave my skin feeling…

I'm 5'7" and started at 177 (just before MFP). I'm down to 168 right now but have thrown the scale in the closet for a while since I'm just starting a serious weight lifting program with a trainer. My goal is 130-140 range (depending on how much muscle I develop). Friend request sent!!

Thanks for that! In future group photos, I will avoid both the center and the outer edges! :laugh:

I don't have advice but I hear ya! I feel the same way! And honestly there are quite a few days where the mirror is not my friend either! It's getting better though and I won't stop until my goal is met and I look (and feel) like I know I can!

Thank you everyone for sharing! You all look amazing! I'm inspired and have hope that I too can kick the pooch to the curb!

My wish list is nothing like this... except maybe the kilt part. lol And I will fix or build anything that needs doing for the home if he will just pour me a bath and rub my feet after. :happy:

I agree with the "Sammich" quip... "fake boobs"... uh, notsomuch. :tongue:

Tight hip flexors can be a factor.

40 yrs old 5'7" SW 175 (a few pounds more than the day I started MFP) CW 167-169 depending on the day GW 135 - my original GW was 145 but after my personal trainer assessed me, he thinks I can get to 135 or 130. I was 120-130 all through my 20's so maybe he's right. I'm trusting him. More importantly... Current Fat % - 30%…

I usually just have mine mixed with water and downed really fast (I think of it more as a fuel than a food) but once in a while when I'm in the mood for using it as a food, I will blend it with banana and peanut butter (only natural pb of course). It's delicious. Peanut butter has such a strong taste you can't taste that…

Bump for motivation and inspiration! Thank you!

Have you seen this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX9FSZJu448 He went from not being able to walk to being fit and running through the power of yoga. I believe he used former wrestler, Diamond Dallas Page (DDP)'s videos. I haven't seen them but maybe you and your son would like his style? Whatever video you choose,…

"Home" is Kelowna BC but currently reside in Winnipeg. :drinker: Hi! to all the fellow frozen prairie people! Are you as sick of this current deep freeze as I am? I got BC blood - I can barely handle minus 10 never mind this stupid minus 40! :laugh: :sad:

May I suggest Marianne Williamson's book "A Course in Weight Loss". It helps you uncover the reasons for emotional eating etc. It helped me a whole lot and I had a lot of "aha moments" but I still have more work to do so a year later, I am just beginning to read/complete it all again. All the best! :flowerforyou:
