5'2" starting weight 285. Current weight 175 it's been three and half years since I started making changes....any plateaus I have hit I can relate back to making poor choices...I started at 1500 cals and have stayed right around that.......

The ring totally depends on the couple. Only you will know....what she likes and what you like. Marriage is about you both. Does it have to be a ring? Are you both that traditional? My husband and I are happily married, it will be 14 years in August. My ring was purchased at chain store and it was special because he made…

I am new to running, just started last year. Then I hurt my knee and well I am actually just getting back to. Another aspect to consider why treadmills are used is safety. My schedule only allows for early morning or late evening workouts, and our town is not the safest so I use the gym. If I did not regularly use the…

Great hubby :)

Carbs are in fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, and some dairy. Plenty of options:)

My husband's 1975 orange Dodge pickup is named Lilly simply due to the color. My 2004 Ford Minivan is named Fred. I do not know why we picked that name but it stuck. My husbands 2004 Dodge Ram four door pickup is named Richard well that's what my son thinks.....I call it D***.....because my husband bought it without me and…

Usually it represents "before it is cooked". Sometimes a box or bag may give you two sets of numbers listed as packaged, and as prepared. But if it is not clearly marked as such I would assume it is representing it as raw.

I also contribute my food…

I am in love with ana brand at JCPenney....The petite are actually petite!!! I am 5'2" standing straight with my nose in the air!!!

Fabulous!!!!! I have found my body can do so much more that my mind wants to admit!!!!

I have to hide the clock....and I zone out to music...or audio book although that is tougher. I run every other day on treadmill....I try to take to the streets when I can....keep progressing at your pace. No shame in repeating a week. Make sure you stretch before and after. Also I take a supplement for joints to protect…

I get one every year, I work with kids (Home daycare for past 10 years) and to date I have been very fortunate and not gotten sick. My son has gotten one every year also.

I lost 78 pounds before finding mfp.....add my ticker below and well that's 106 total so far and still trying to lose more.....it will be three years in October since I made the decision to change.....

Married 13 years :)

fabulous!!! And I needed to be reminded just how important it is to measure everything in the kitchen. I have lost 106 pounds and lately it has been so hard but looking back and thinking back I am eyeballing a lot, and grabbing little extra treats that just do not work for ME when I am trying to lose! Thank you.

Celebrated 13 years on Monday......we agreed in the beginning divorce was not an option....its been long, hard, happy, silly, sad, exciting, hot .....would not change it for the world. He is my best friend. You have to work together to make it work.......and Sex. Sex is great, simply great.

I have the FT 7 and love it.....
