Love this! I'm putting it on my facebook page. Not that my average weight friends will understand. <3

This. Well put. I was looking for the words, but you put it perfectly. When I started MFP I was one large pizza away from 300 pounds. It was seriously difficult, painful, and draining to walk from my car across the parking lot to my office (sit down job). So when I had enough energy to clean or to chase my grand-kids at…

Interesting. I want to know more about cravings and what my body is really asking for. Please publish more or point me in the right direction to do my own research.

Took Friday off from the gym, but I need to work out on Saturday. Any suggestions for cardio exercises I can do which will not involve my calfs?

Thanks, I found a tube-sock- like knee brace at the Dollar Tree for $1.00. I've slipped it up and over my calf. Also slept with a bag of frozen corn wrapped to my calf with an ace bandage. LOL. The cat thinks I'm crazy! Thanks, that is encouraging and just what I needed to hear :) You are awesome, it does my heart good to…

Tom, this is totally do-able. You are in the right place and you are not wasting your time. You are here among friends! And I never discuss my feline companions on MFP. I reserve those conversations for another website.

I'm not really sure what setting it is, maybe quick start? I am totally intimidated by that machine. I'm even afraid of asking a gym employee about the settings. Guess I should just suck it up and ask, but I thought I would ask the friendly anonymous folks here at MFP first.

I always come back stronger after a rest day. I think they are necessary to reset my attitude and enthusiasm. I wasn't going to post an answer, but then I thought, it would be rude to ignore a question posed by a care bear. I hope a care bear would like my answer :)

Just my random morning thoughts: 1. Smoking pot = loss of motivation = no or dead end job = no money = can't afford groceries = skinny 2. Smoking pot = jail time = 1200 calories of white bread baloney sandwiches (which are taken away by stronger inmates) = skinny. Sounds like a good weight loss strategy (not). Seriously,…

Well, because my body had become so round, I had "gun-slinger arms" when I walked around because I couldn't straighten my arms and let them hang down by my sides. Just noticed TODAY that my arms are hanging down straight when I walk. This is major fo me :)

Happy Birthday! This is a wonderful accomplishment. You are rocking that LBD! Congratulations!

I smell a rat. I believe OP is having a sick thrill in participating in the last socially acceptable form of discrimination and prejudice. OP, you are not cute or funny. Come out from behind your faceless avatar and let us see who you really are.

Well... If I have to. If it's for the movie, and you really really want me to. If it's not just about nudity, but if it's artistic and says something about reality... If it's in character and for the scene... If it's not just a body then... (Daisy in Bowfinger)

Thanks sarahvalentine311. A blog is an excellent idea. I had considered making up some "product" that I was "promoting," somehow a multi-level-marketing pitch always gets people to back off. LOL. Or saying I had consulted a shaman or some other such nonsense. But a blog would probably be the totally better way to go.

Oatmeal, old fashioned oatmeal. Is so cheap! and easy to cook. It also takes on flavors easily so just a dash of fruit will give it a whole different aspect.

Completed three sets of of 100, followed by 2 sets of 50 (between 20 min. walks/jogs on the treadmill). Then I came home and took a nice soak in a lavender scented tub. That was incredibly difficult! (for me, at this stage of my life and in my level of fitness)
-
400? You got it!
-
Did my 200 arm circles while walking on the treadmill yesterday. Did them again today for good measure. Thanks for the mini challenge, keep them coming!
-
Thanks! If only I could get the picture to work.

If I eat breakfast in the morning my stomach growls all day and I am ravenously hungry all day. Can't eat enough! But if I breakfast at noon while the rest of the world is eating lunch, then I do fine.

You have a lovely family. Congratulations on your weight loss and newfound health and strength, you are an inspiration to many :)
-
Awesome. BriSci Rocks! Anyway I'll read these later, thanks.

"Euphoric" - That's a good word. Is "Food Drunk" a real term?
-
Almost :P

Color Me Rad sounds super fun! This is the first time I've heard of it...Can't wait to be in shape enough to participate in something like this!

So glad you came back to MFP for help and support! You're in the right place and I know you will make the choices and changes to get yourself back on track :) I'm sending you a friend request cause I so need your support. You'd be a great member on this wagon train.

Any truth to this?

Lovely sentiment! Thanks

Thanks everybody! This helped :)

For me its oatmeal with dried fruit and walnuts. <3
