Thank you for taking the time to read the post and for bumping it. best of luck to you.

Jules, congrads on joining the rest of us who want to lose weight. Sara is right you might be putting on muscle weight which weighs more than fat does so don't use the scale as your tool to success it will drive you crazy. measure inches or at the very least how your clothes fit you.

We are not answering your question because we don't have all the information. There is no blanket statement eat this to be healthy. If you are eating protein which is good for you but you are eating too much for your needs than it is bad, same goes with fiber, fats, fruits veggies... A healthy diet is eating the right…

This can also happen after drinking a lot of fluids that contain Caffeine, such as soda, tea or coffee. During my recent chemo treatment I was told that since the Chemo can make a person so sick and fluids are such a needed resource that I was not allowed soda, tea, coffee, beer, ect... All the other fluids I took in where…

looks like you are eating better than I have been, however i think to be able to answer you question we would also need to know your goals and what you want to look at. if you were my mom I would say no because of all the juices that are high in sugar. My mom can't have them, for me I was say I need to watch the carbs. My…

Thank you so much. I have will be restarting my diary tomorrow. I used today as a slurge day and enjoyed a great lunch out with a friend in need and some ice cream dessert with my son tonight. I need a good FREE walk tracking app for my phone as I will by in NYC on Sunday for Vision Expo and want to count that as some…

I work for an Optical office and I thought I was a tough enough person to push thru the treatment and still work. I found out after the first week that was a big joke. I had no choice but to take 3 months off while going thru my treatment, but now I'm here I survived and I am ready to move on with a healthier me life. I…

I'd love to join you all on your new journey as I am restarting on my path again. I just survived chemo, radiation and surgery for cervical cancer. I not only need to loose weight ( goal is 50 lbs) but also need to build muscle especially in my lower abs and legs. I now suffer from lymphedema, which is a swelling of the…

BTW I also have lymphedema now in my right leg, since my surgery, so weigh ins are going to be fun. If you also have lymphedema let me know what you do to manage it. I have a compression sock from foot to knee but get swelling higher in the thigh to hip area as well. I tried occupational therapy for a while, but insurance…

I am post chemo, post radiation and post surgery for Cervical Cancer and looking for active members to help keep me going and chat. Please message or friend me please

No I dont log all my walking for house work. I do however log anything that is out of the norm for me. Like I was moving desks and cabinets at work the other day. Definitly not my normal job, so I logged that as moving furniture. On fridays I do my grocery shopping, check out the mall or walk around town to do my errands…

Just totaled up my funds raised so far and we are at just slightly over $3000.00 That is great news. Thank you to everyone who helped.

I am so excited for you. I have noticed that my pants are starting to slide and feel loose but I'm afraid to try next size down just yet. I don't want to be disappointed if they don't fit. Congrads to you, Let us know when you make it to 16.

First I start off knowing that my expectations are going to be different. I am normally a little more active on the weekend ( running around with kids and errands) so i know I can eat a little bit more then normal. I try to stay away from the cakes and such. If I'm going to over eat on the weekends I want to make sure it…

I am one of those people that does try to eat something 3-4 hours. I will grab breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner and sometimes ( though not often) snack again. My current calories are 1350 daily and the reason I eat so often is because I get less hungry and don't want to eat as much during the next meal, but I try to…

I only get 1350 in calories and I have seen a lot of people on here with way more then that. My husband is allowed 2100 calories and never gets that much in him ( unless we go out to eat of course). I NEVER skip breakfast any more. I use to so that I could have extra at dinner time, but I read so many bad things about…

I loved seeing your confidence increase in each photo. You were a beautiful woman from the beginning but you can see from the photos how you knowing that changed as you got closer to your goal. What a great job and a wonderful inspiration to the rest of us.

I have 4 tattoos and I work in a medical office. Our employee hand book states that tattoos and piercings are not allowed, in fact even the standard ear piercings for women are only allowed to be studs for safety reasons. I started here almost 7 years ago and almost every ones of the girls are work with now also have…

For me it was soda. I would get such stomach pains and would be gassy from both ends. For my husband it is greesy foods, and a friend of mine it was dairy products. We all have different things that do it to us I guess. I would start cutting things out of your diet, slowly for a week at a time (just like introducing new…

I would go by what is on the bag. The reason why I suggest that is because it maybe that the website or input data the scan is pulling from has not been updated.

I also started with these Videos, so did my mom and we are both bigger women. Although I do have a few extra inches in height on some of you at 5'8" and 260 I have been using Leslie's videos and lost my first 10 lbs during my first month. I just don't seem to have the cordination or "moves" to do the kettleworx videos or…

Thanks for the reply. I stopped taking the multi vitamins a few years ago because my body doesn't do well with the iron that is in them, but I will take some time to look for ones that are low to no iron. Something I never took the time to do before. I don't think I have plataued yet because I have not been working long…

I worried about eating late as well since I work till 7pm a few nights a week. I was told by many people not to stress it. That the hearsay about eating late was a myth. I try to eat every few hours including fruits and whole grain items. I switched from the really bad for you potato chips to brown rice and almond chips.…

I dont belong to any gym and I almost never get the chance to go outside for a walk due to crazy work schedule and kids. For the last month I have been using the walk at home videos that I located on you tube. If your doctor is ok with you walking maybe you wanna try these. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df2gn6-w0dE

OMG that is funny

Ive been here since 2-18-2013. I log every day if not multiple times a day. I started with some of the girls from my work, but most of them don't log at all any more. I'd love to add some more friends, (especially if you are from the North East area of PA so maybe we can meet up for a walk or something. Help me stay on…

To get me started I've been using a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df2gn6-w0dE This is a walk at home 1 mile walk. I do it 2-3 times a week, but will be moving to outdoor walks as the weather here in NEPA continues to get better.

That is great news. Feel free to friend me here. Blakeslee is about an hr away from me so I won't be out that way until the actual walk, but I'd love to have people join the team from ANYWHERE. I think it could be a great motivation to get fit and then meet at the walk to raise money for such a good cause.

Autism Speaks has not gone international yet, that I know of but I'm sure there are similar programs out there. Autism isn't a United States only problem. Thank you for stopping by and taking a look. Even if all I can do is get myself fit to be a better support for my children and raise a little awareness along the way…
