You are looking great!!! Keep up the great work!!! You are a true inspiration!!!

I HAVE to TOTALLY agree as I feel the same way about all of my MFP friends!!!!!!!

Yes I probably would especially if they were trying to get healthy too or were just buffed up. Sometimes I think that smaller personal trainers don't understand where we are coming from unless they themselves started at a higher weight. I believe if they had the training and was working towards a healthier lifestyle for…

Yes I am an addict!!!!!! Hugs Bev

Well I must say that you do know what you have to do but it doesn't sound like you are quite ready yet.....I always thought that I was really ready to do it to but wasn't. I am now because I have found this site and some really wonderful pals to help me, motivate me, support me and encourage me. You will eventually have to…

I usually delete someone if they haven't logged in for like a month or two. If it has been a few days or a couple weeks I send them a message and let them know I miss them and are thinking of them and wait for a reply. If they don't reply I give them a few more days. Bev

I love this and thank you so very much for posting!!!! I have been through some terrible things in my life and never thought I would get over it and yes......I DID!!!! I can lose this weight!!! Thanks for the encouragement!!! Bev

I always see myself as BIG. I have been anorexic twice in my life and don't believe I can ever be smaller. Good job on your loss so far!!! Bev

Yes I have a budget: $250/week (my daughter who is a single mom lives with us so this includes diapers etc too) family of 4: 3 adults and a 2 1/2 yr old and 1 dog I throw away just the moldy pieces of bread, check rest of loaf (keep eye on it daily) Cheese I cut off the moldy piece of cheese and eat the rest: I too am…

Hello and welcome!!! I am glad that all of your injuries are healed and I wish you the best of luck on your weigh loss journey!! You can do this.....we are all on the same journey and we are all here for you. Please feel free to check out my profile and add me if you would like to. Bev

I second all of this!!!!!! donuts are my downfall!!!!!!

We all need to vent sometimes.....as a matter of fact I just did this the other day!!! LOL Welcome to MFP and good luck on your journey. We are all on this journey together!!!! Hugs Bev

I am such a kid at heart

I log whatever little bit of housework I do but I have had 3 back surgeries and can't do a lot so I want every little calorie I burn counted!! LOL I log my walks I take and my housecleaning cause that is about all I get to do besides going to Curves for Women. Sorry I am not much help. Bev

I admire her and she inspires me all around. I know I will never look like her but I can sure give it a try!!! LOL

I kind of have that thought process too. Like yogurt is suppose to be good for you because of the protein but it has a lot of carbs and the same way with milk. I look at it like this: if I eat the yogurt it is better than a donut or some other sugary thing for breakfast or if I drink milk I get more good from it than if I…

I probably am not much help either but I personally would start at the gym by asking a manager, trainer or someone who knows something about how people work at the gym. Just an idea but I know that our fitness center here we always have someone we can go to and ask about our workouts. Bev

I have been wondering this too so thanks for asking this question!!! I am going to try it. Bev

I have some too and also need to clean house!!! I also cannot see keeping pals that haven't been on in a month or more either!!

Mountain Oysters......aka hog nuts!!! I didn't know what they were until after I ate them......not too bad!!! Bev

LOL.....I haven't seen it but I will keep a look out for it!!! :laugh: I know it is real close to you.....I usually find things I have lost right in plain sight when I am not looking for them!!!! You will find it, get back on it and be good to go before you know it!!!! Good luck and Hugs to you!!! Bev

Awesome!!! That is a wonderful NSV!!! Keep up the good work!!!! We are all rooting you on. Bev

Hello and welcome!!! I also would suggest opening up your food diary! I would suggest along with the measurements to try to walk on your lunch hour, if you have stairs where you work go up and down them at least 2 or 3 times on your breaks etc, since you have such a hectic schedule I would try that. You also need to drink…

That is what I have too and I like it alot.

I do have a goal weight and it is within my BMI range so i think it is a good goal. I love you sharing this story as I found it makes a lot more sense that most would think. I personally don't think anyone heavy or thin should be called names, put down, judged (only God judges us) or anything else. The only thing I find…

The only other things I know of would be to (if you have time) to walk around the block or something on your lunch or if you have stairs at work go up and down them a time or two on your lunch or breaks.....then the other idea instead of 5am workouts could you try to do 30 minutes or so after job two at 8:30 if you aren't…

Way to go!!!!! This actually gives me hope!!!! LOL Keep up the good work!!!! Hugs Bev

Hello and welcome!!! Boy can I ever relate to your story!!!! I have had 3 back surgeries and am limited at what I can do also. I do some walking and am trying out a fitness place for women called Curves. I have fought with my weight all my life and I am having a hard time losing my weight! I know you can do this......start…

I will certainly join you!!!!! I have to admit though that reading this I got a little tearyeyed until I got to the end!!!! LOL Thank you for this and it is well said and something I have to remember to do daily!!!! Hugs

Hello, I would love to join your team and take the challenge. I am having a hard time losing the weight I need to and I think this type of challenge may help me. Please feel free to check out my profile and add me as a friend if you would like to. You need to come up with a name like Halloween Hotties or something like…
