Nope, after I lost half of what I need to (before starting this for the second 100 pounds i have to lose) I have to say the pics of me at my heaviest I think "Wow, I can't believe how big I was, but I look pretty happy." I mean I never was depressed about it or thinking I was gross or anything. So looking at those pictures…

I agree, weight training can help. I'm not sure what you are doing exercise-wise already, but consider a yoga or Pilates class too. Those are really great for toning muscle. And you know what? Maybe for you to be happy with your stuff, you will need to go have some skin removed, don't feel any shame about wanting that.…

I don't yet. I know how the math works for the numbers now (I think) but so far I have only been able to hit that "You need to eat this much to fuel your exercise and not being dead hobby" number once, I'm usually under goal by about 200-400. I am getting a little better, i am trying to have a more substantial breakfast,…

Well before I joined here with my goal to lose 100 more pounds and tone up, I'd already lost 100 from re-learning how to eat. and following a pretty simple easy to follow diet. I mean it wasn't a crash or an overnight things, it took a while, and that's fine 'cause slow and steady wins the race when the goal is "healthy"…

Okay, So when I get to the point where I am doing the nautilus equipment type stuff and the hand weights, that stuff should be staggered by a muscle group a day, but the walking and stretching is okay every morning. Got it, Thank you, Kate! ^_^

well that's not what I am asking exactly... I am not wanting to skip a day, I'm asking if I should be doing the legwork one day, and the upper body work the next day, since people told me I shouldn't be doing everything full throttle every day or muscle will not build. Is this true? Or is it pseudo-science BS? If…

There's actually a couple of different causes (dietary) calcium can help, so can a banana (potassium) and a glass of milk (vitamin D). There's a few simple stretches you can try that I find help stave off leg twitchies and cramps. One is to stand with your toes on a step (a step block, a curb, or if you worry you'll fall,…

well I may have missed it, because wow this thread is long, but Ready for what? For most things, Five minutes. For a night out 20 minutes if I know what I am wearing, 30 if I need to put an outfit together. For a "Special" night out, about an hour. I find the topic of the "low maintenance/high maintenance woman" amusing…

165 is my current goal. If I feel healthy and toned I will stop there. It's the number my doctor gave me.

well before I started on here I'd already lost half the weight I need to lose, (I Just started on here to compliment my endomondo exercise tracking, now that I've gotten past the diet alone and am into the diet and exercise stretch, I've lost 100 and have 100 to go) So here's what I did with my Size 28/30-ish stuff Altered…

warm dill pickles on any sandwich, I like dill pickles, but they need to be required by law to be served cold and crispy. I hate potted/smoked meat or fish, celery and mayonnaise, but I LOVE tuna fish salad sandwiches with celery and mayonnaise, so how is that a thing? Borscht (blech! my mom instilled in us a love of our…

I would suggest dropping the artificial sweeteners for a few days. Try to replace your sweet tooth cravings with fruit when you can, and cane sugar products in moderation when you can't, add a glass of 100% , no added sugar, (insert your favorite yummy fruit here) juice to your breakfast. Try some chopped up berries on…

Ok that's what I was thinking, and why I was so worried I couldn't eat that much... My goal weight is 165, I mean I know I am never going to be stick thin, I'm a big girl, tall and wide in the frame. (I'm 5' 8" and have been told by my doctor I should be in the 160-170 range) And I am okay with that, my goal is to look,…

That's what I thought when they said it. I do like most of the stuff everyone suggested... so all in all you've all given me some great Ideas... I tried really hard to pack in more protein today and went slightly over goal with it (I had some dry cashews with breakfast and made a point of getting some protein in…

My protein goal is set to 64, I mean, I don't eat meat all day, that's why I say Omnivore, I usually have meat at dinner, my breakfast is usually along the lines of some yogurt, some actual juice (not sugar fruit water, like actual 100% cranberry juice) and some coffee. Once in a while I'll have some cereal. Lunch is a…
