Love this and couldn't agree more.

Yay you, OP. This is one of my goals, too.

Like others have already posted, along with tracking your food, track the onset of your headaches. You might be surprised what you find. I had headaches with regularity; some included the "floaters" you were talking about. There were many culprits for the various types of headaches I have including: * missing meals *…

Agree x 1,000 :smokin: edited for math

Ditto.

Thanks OP, great post! Our company has a trainer 2 x a week and I started there. I walked up to the trainer one afternoon & I was so anxious that I actually started tearing up when I told him I wanted to work out. I think he was a startled as I was that I had such a strong reaction to simply expressing my desire to get…

All My Friends are Indians. Dammit. Now Soundgarden is stuck in my head. :tongue:

Love this, G-Gramma! And if the rain stopped us, we'd never leave the house. :laugh: We walk 2 x day, but I never log. I just consider it part of daily activity.

You know it hurts to agree, but Niner's got it. After I already started adding workouts to my weight loss, my husband said that once I master push-ups, we'd work on chin-ups together. I took it as an "Atta Girl, Go Get It", not as a slight against my commitment or capabilities.

^^THIS. So sad.

Like GreatGreenSea, we have a couple of go-to, don't-feel-like-cooking meals: 1) Baked potato. Scrub outside of potato with wet veggie brush. Use fork to poke holes multiple times into skin. Microwave a few minutes (our microwave has Baked Potato setting -- it's like 3 - 4 minutes). Slice open & sprinkle with your favorite…

As others already said, avoid overcooking & it won't be dry. Honestly, salmon is so delicious, we only season with salt, pepper, and dill. Grill skin side down for, like, 8-10 minutes. DONE. ...and mmmmmmm.

I'm in. Wish me luck -- my jump rope is leather. :tongue:

Already made two of the recipes!

Great job bargain shopping. I find quality clothes & shoes at our local thrift shop nearby. I got a practically new pair of Danskos for $5 one time. I love them! Awesome NSV, and best of luck on the interviews. added S for interviews, plural... I just know you'll get the call back!

Congratulations! Nothing feels better than fitting in the size you didn't think would fit. Cute surprised look in the photo, too. :) Dark loafers would be fine, make sure they're spiffed up and polished, and of course wear dark socks or stockings (or nude-colored). Go get 'em! Good luck.

QUOTE: I once watched a movie with Kevin Bacon in it ...mmmmm.... Bacon

Good on you. Congratulations!

BUMP as reminder my journey should be about fitness and shape, not pounds of weight.
