I do a minimum of 10,000 steps. I do some HIIT hills/trails or hills pushing a baby pram ( my granddaughter loves the out of doors). I have arthritis so I have to walk with correct form or I am in pain. I go at a 3.5 mph pace. I may break the steps up into two separate walks depending on the time element. I do 2 hours…

Impressive!

I don't know about your new club but see if they have a rowing machine. If you use a high resistance mode, you can get cardio, moderate weight training and a smaller impact on your knees. Concept2.com gives great instructions on correct positions. If you want "friend" me, and I will answer erging questions as best I can.

A wonderful husband is truly the best! Give him a hug and a big "ATTA BOY". He deserves to feel proud of his positive wonderful actions in your regard, You picked a REALLY good one!!!!

Great come-back! I am going to try it! Thanks!

Logging is just a tool to help improve your diet and exercise program. Only you are making a self judgement in regard to embarrassment. I might suggest that you are not lazy, just a little afraid of the commitment to do what it takes to get to your goals..I believe we are all there at some point in our journey. Just…

It helps if you just get to the point where you can set a daily goal. Oh, and DON'T TURN YOUR TV. My first goal sounds silly now but I could not turn on the computer (or smart phone) until I was dressed and walked to the corner of my street. Usually when I got to the corner, I had a good plan for the rest of my day. Also,…

Congrats!!! Smaller panties are a real great NSV! Oh, and go with really cute ones! You deserve it!

I want to be YOU! Beautiful hair, beautiful skin, and cheekbones to die for!!!! Please!!!!!!!! Seriously, congratulations on your hard work and your beautiful transformation. I'm sure you paid for your transformation with your own blood, sweat, and tears!

Congrat! You are looking so good. Oh! You look really good in red!

Wow! You look so different...from your face and smile to the great curves and shoulders. I, honestly, had to flip back and forth on the face pictures..as I wasn't sure you were the same person in the pictures....oh, you better drive carefully because if you get stopped by the police they may question your picture to your…

You are doing great! Do not worry about joining gyms (a walk with your husband after dinners just as good), or fancy equipment (although go shoes are a must have!) . This is a chance to really make a life style change.. Oh and at your desk, you can always do chair exercises. Remember every little bit helps... Do dips…

I have been on this journey of health and fitness, weight loss for six months now. Although I have not lost a great deal of weight, the exercise has changed my appearance. I log all my food and enjoy the success pics. Please add me as friend if you wish and, hopefully, we can support each other as we travel down the…

Tofu -I used to feed it to our iguanas. The gelatinous texture is just gross. Oh, and slimy cooked spinach. Nope, no Popeye food for this girl!

Please feel free to add me as friend. I am 60 and found this site in Jan. I lost a bunch of weight last year but not in a healthy way. Since then, I have been exercising a lot and although my weight has not changed dramatically, my body has changed. I would like to get into the normal range of BMI. I am able with MFP to be…

******sorry, I HATE the correction key! It should have read you're not your inky post!!! Yup, I am a bit of a grammar nazi! <cringe>

Wow! Very good! Your are kind but straightforward, honest yet gracious. Thank you!

Love your pics! What a transformations! You are a true inspiration!

The situation of no response to your weight loss is disheartening but maybe your friends are just confused as to what to say. After all, you did not say anything to your friends because at the beginning of your journey, you had trouble admitting how fat you had become. Seriously, how do you tell someone gracefully, "oh! I…

I agree! Sometimes the weight of negativity and a bad relationship is so much more than pounds!

Your face has really thinned out! You look so different! Keep going and forget the scale!

Have your thyroid checked. Hair loss is common I hypothyroidism . One common place to lose hair beside on your head is the outer edges of your eyebrows. Also, tiredness and forgetfulness are common. You also retain water particularly in the belly region. Start measuring lower abs too.

Great admiration for you here! You go and get the success you so richly deserve !!!!!!

Some people have this and is related to nurse pinching. Also if the elliptical has a shorter stride length it is sometimes possible, try different model or ask advice of staff at work out area if the stride length varies. Also avoid leaning over the machine. If L4 and l5 of your spine is compressed you can get pain and…

I went to visit my son this week end. He purchased a house a year ago. When he bought the house, I went to visit and met his neighbor. The neighbor had a long conversation with me about my gardening ideas for my son's house and what he should do about his yard. I helped make him make a garden plan. I had not seen the…

Columbus(Westerville ) her!!! Really am a buckeye as I am an OSU alum! My husband is a buckeye,too. Born and raised in Columbus.

I hear you. Me, too. On the floor of my office. Moving on is really tough I don't think I slept for a week.. It was tough on the family too. For me, the only thing that helped was careful examination of myself and how willing I was to own my health. My kids begged me to "be good". So becoming accountable DAILY. I did the…

So you got a free trip home as your airline ticket, surely, cost that much....so you had a free trip. Congrats on your win and your weight loss!

You are so funny! I really did laugh out loud! You made my day! Thanks.

I think it comes down to the lifestyle concept. Having been in a relationship for 40 years, I probably have some insight . My husband and I are very different in personality but we are a great complement to each other. For example, he is VERY outgoing and I HATE parties. He is a semi professional musician, I am tone deaf.…
