"Weight loss is not something to force. Weight loss is something to allow to happen. With a change in perspective I wrote a new plan. A plan based on making the process as easy as possible being very kind to myself." I love this! Completely articulates something that I have been feeling intuitively, but hadn't been able to…

I know that it feels unintuitive, but perhaps try to eat more before 3:00, focusing your additional calories on protein and healthy fats. I find that when I have that can't-stop-eating feeling at night, it is often a product of not having eaten enough during the day. I have also had the experience, which I think is fairly…

bump for inspiration. you guys are amazing!

What an incredible story. You have given your daughter a tremendous gift-- two healthy parents and an inspirational example. You have a beautiful family and I wish you many happy and healthy years together!

This gets me so mad-- haters gonna hate, but I am so sorry that someone's ugliness and self-hatred was directed at you. As others have stated, this has everything to do with them and nothing to do with you. I am so glad that you are going to walk again tonight. Please imagine all of us on this thread walking right…

Great work!

Wow! You look great. Thanks for the inspiration!

So much wisdom here. Thank you!

bump. awesome job both with your transformation and all of the help and support that you have offered people on this thread.

Awesome! Great job!

I logged on today and went to the message boards looking for some inspiration. Your story (and the stories of other posters that followed) gave me that inspiration. I am so impressed by your commitment and positive attitude. Thank you!

You look amazing! Congratulations on all of your hard work!

Thank you so much for this post. I really appreciate your sensible and straightforward advice. It makes it seem much more do-able! And congratulations on your tremendous accomplishment! You are an inspiration!

i am going to try this, too! thanks so much!

thank you! i will add this one to my routine!

this is a great suggestion! i didn't know you could do them on one foot. and congratulations on all of your plank progress!

Yes, I probably should see someone. I did go to a physical therapist, but the foot exercises made it worse, so it was a bit de-motivating! Hoping to glean some wisdom from the smart folks here!

Hmmm... interesting. I'm a little worried about putting that much strain on the top of my foot-- though this position is definitely better than flex. Thanks for the idea!

August 27, 2013 9:22 am I am also doing other core exercises. But the plank has a reputation as such a great exercise. Do you think it is nothing that I can't replicate other ways? I am new to all of this, so appreciate the education! Thanks!
