After my lab work revealed all sorts of physical issues, I've decided to go meat and dairy free. It's only been 2 weeks. But I'm thankful for even baby steps in the right direction.

Thank you for the encouragement! I need it after a really bad week. But I'm getting back at it

I'm trying to lose 25 lbs, and it's hard due to the unhealthy habits i've developed. But i'm trying to focus more on my new lifestyle rather than weight loss. the days, weeks, months, and years will pass even if we're not trying to lose weight. we may as well have some progress to show for it. All the best.

Hi I'm 50!! Do you all think it's realistic to set my weight loss goal at 25 lbs by July 3rd? that's 30 weeks.

i wonder if Kenyan's feed hormones and anitbiotics to their cows. it's the processing that makes it unhealthy to consume.

Inspirational!!!:smile:

SOUNDS AWESOME!!:smile:

About a month ago, I started keeping the food diary again.. The 1st week I had horrible fast food cravings, but soon the cravings stopped. However, during 5 of the past 12 or so days i've started craving fast food again. My theory is it's part of the culture in which we live. We drive by or see advertisments almost…

they were also some profane and angry responses to the meatless Monday blog. humans react to disappointment in strange ways. I'm nearly 100% certain that NOBODY wants to be obese. but losing the weight can seem impossible, and it is difficult. I have 20 lbs to lose and i struggle most days to stay within reasonable caloric…

I work out 6 days a week-35-40 mins of cardio and abd work out. I take Saturday's/Sabbath off to rest my temple and visit God's temple, and I don't feel guilty about it at all. I started working out again about 2 weeks ago, and I've lost 5 lbs, but mainly, I FEEL GREAT!!

i never realized how much i was eating until i started counting calories.....

Donuts

weight in wednesday's. i'm there!

that is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!! :smile:

I have to track my intake or i"ll really over eat.

there's a difference

I used to get headaches and feel sluggish after leaving the gym. I learned that I wasn't eating enough. Try looking at you caloric intake vs the amount of calories you're burning.

The 1st problem, in my opinion, is those "edible food like substances"! That juke we crave that makes us FAT and SICK! If we ate only vegatables, fruit, whole grains, and beans-kept as close to natural as possible, then we could all eat as much as we'd like. And we wouldn't have to spend hours working out each day, a nice,…

The elliptical is GREAT!! I lost 15-20 lbs in 2 months using it. I did 30 mins/, 5 days/wk. Sometimes I'd do 45 min. I'm planning to buy one real soon. I wish I had bought the elliptical instead of the Fluidity Bar.

thanks for sharing!!:smile:

your progress is awesome...

Two years ago I lost 15-20 lbs using My Fitness Pal. It helped me then, and it's helping me now, only because I log in my calories. Knowing that i have to write it down is what keeps me from over eating. But, I'll admit that on days when I over eat, I don't log-in.

I'm 46 and I feel great.

Michedarnd, now that takes dicipline and planning! WTG

I am a total finisher.... :embarassed:

Using Splenda causes me to have headaches. My best friend told me it has the same effect on her. ValueMe made a great suggestion. I would stay away from Splenda.

looking GREAT in my clothes

I wanted a milky way bar badly today, i resisted and the craving went away. I honestly believe that the more I give into the chocolate cravings; the more they ATTACK me.

WTG!!! We're our own toughest critics

good question, I saw an iron man at the PX for $79. I was wondering the exact same thing.
