Hi ArmyofMom so glad that you were able to hear from you. I hope that you are doing well. Yes, I see the medication that people (my dad and grandma) who have to take lots of medications because of poor health. Most of their problems is because they do not get active. I think that it is super awesome that you are setting a…

Strikes: I had thought about a stability ball, because when I try to do crunches I hurt so bad, on my back. So thank you for explaining that you can use the ball with the crunches. Thank you for all your great advice, you have been a huge help for everyone. I feel like you have been more help then we have for you. But, I…

Thank you Strikes for sharing this, I read a good portion of it. I agree with you and Evie, that eating a 1,200 calorie diet is not good for you. There are days that I do however; not intentionally, but there are days when I am just not hungry and I do not feel like eating. I feel that eventually I should be eating those…

Amjmom: Thank you sharing your goals. I understand wanting to add more excersise as you get more energy. Having two little ones I am always drained of energy it seems. I wish taking care of them was enough excerisise. That would certainly make my life easier. lol. Hope you had a great day yesterday. And that you are able…

Hi Evie, Thanks, the last few days have been so busy. I did not get to work out yesterday like I wanted. I hope you had a good day though. And I am sorry, that does seem like a long time. And I hope that you were able to meet you goals for yesterday, and can continue hitting your goals for today. I was not even able to…

Strikesbeme: I agree that losing slowly is the way to go. I sometimes want the weight to speed up and come off already. But this time I am hoping that if I go in with the right attitude to start that I will be able to continue to do it. I am so proud of you for coming this far, and getting to where you need to be for you.…

Awe Evie, thank you. That means a lot. My gallstones were taken out in May of this year, however the after affects are still bothering me. They thought I might have IBS, but now they think I might have Diverticulitis, which does not usually happen except in people over 50. However it does run in my family, so there is the…

Eviebee03. Those are awesome goals. Its okay if you put on a little, because you are not going to give up and that is what matters. As long as you keep pushing towards your goal. I could use a little portion control myself, it is so hard to stick to portion for me. So great job. Your long term goal is awesome, its also…

Thank you Strikesbeme for allowing all of us in on what you are doing. I agree that it is good for you to mix it up, it helps to work different muscles in the body in order to burn more fat, and to not gain muscle. The muscle that is hard for me to grasp gaining is bulk, I want lean muscle. Yes, most women do not like the…

Thank you amjmom. I did not know that about gallstones being hereditary. Yeah, it would be nice if they could tell me once and for all, here is the problem and here is the fix. So I could stop hurting, and stop being afraid to leave the house. I am hoping with this weight loss, and life style change that I will be able to…

At over 300 pounds I know what your going through. I feel so tired, and yet, I did almost nothing it seems. But, the positive is that you joined here, and that you know you want to lose the weight. The best advice I can give you is to find that partner, whether it is where you are, or on here. And work together! Having…
