It made me sick to think that someone could talk to another human that way. Visions of throat punching ran through my head. Then I "got it". Makes me feel like beating up on myself less for sure. What a great post :) Love it! ♥

I have not taken new pics, but thats ok because I have no idea how to post them. LOL. I am 5'2 and back in 2009 I recorded my highest weight at 226lbs. I lost a good amount of weight back then. The death of my father put me into a funk and I lost all hope and ambition in the health department. I put some of my weight back…

I raise chickens and with 24 laying gals I have a fridge full of eggs. I eat one a day, every day. I think eggs are pretty much my weird addiction. I have an egg sandwich everyday, sometimes a 2 egg sandwich. When I free range my ladies they lay even better eggs. Yolks that are deep orange and stand up at attention when I…

Thanks guys. Sounds advice from all. Small goals have worked for me so far :) But I think I enjoy the idea of getting to 145 and then siting and seeing how I feel and then decide if should drop more, or stay. I hope the answer is more clear as I move in on that goal!!

This is a great recipe!

I kind of thought cravings like that were more mental than anything. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for posting, it was a great read and explains a whole bunch. I really thought my carb cravings had gone away....until last month. LOL. It seems to me that I crave carbs while that TOM is upon me and protein all the other weeks.…

I split it up. Say I run for my life for 1 minute, and then walk fast (my little rest period) for 2 minutes, and I do 12 rounds. I log it as 12 min of running, fast. And 24 minutes of walking, fast. Whatever the speeds are that I ran/walked at. I think MFP calories burned are a bit off, on the high side. I am sure with a…

So funny this is here today......hubby is taking me to lunch on Monday. I will be eating my heart out. It has been way to long since I have been able to just sit and eat without measuring, counting and keeping an eagle eye on everything. I will admit,upfront, that I will eat and enjoy :0) I CAN NOT wait! I also have to…

I have egg birds and just about everyday eat eggs for dinner. I love eggs to a stupid level. LOL. I have never had any issues and love the protein boost. I will say though, I will NEVER again purchase eggs from the store. If there ever comes a day where I dont ow my own flock of laying gals......I will go to another farm…

We have water issues with our well. First, it smells like farts. Nasty. Second, we had it tested and the arsenic levels are over state levels and since arsenic is something that sticks with you...we now spend over $15 bucks a week on water. By now, I could have purchased the filtration system for under the sink. Thats…

You look great in ALL of your pics! You are such a cutie. Seeing the progress you made.....you should be very VERY proud! Way to go! I am sure everyone who sees this will agree that your smile got bigger and bigger as you shrunk and shrunk!!! LOL WTG!!

My original goal was 125-135. I am 5'2. But as I drop the fat, I can see my old body returning. I have always had heavy lifting jobs since high school and although the job has changed, the lifting has not :) So for the past 2 weeks I have lost only about 1lb, but lost SO MANY INCHES! With that in mind, and seeing my pants…

I can, FOR SURE, drop 5lbs this month!! Without a doubt! I have been at a stand still for two weeks now. It was getting upsetting for a while after dropping so much weight in the month before. BUT.....I figured out what the "issue" was. Turns out it was not really an issue. Turns out I was dropping inches, not pounds. I…

I am real and on everyday!! I thought having friend on here would be useless at first. But to be honest, the motivation and encouragement I have gotten from my friends has been a driving force for me. You sound pretty serious....add me if you would like!!!!

I loved reading everyone's responses :) About me, I am a TomBoy. I dont get all full of pink things, high heels and make up like a great majority of my friends. I will take a 250lb man on in a heart beat, yet I am sooooo freaked out by bugs. I can not wait for a few things in life (but I will have to!)…

I drink +/-100oz a day. I was just getting about 50-60 a day for a long time. But drinking as much as 100oz a day has helped me recover better from a good cardio work out, I sleep better and have less cravings all day long. So, it works for me :) I try to aim for 100+ and have gotten the timing down as well...because, yes,…

With this loooong Winter I am growing tired of my treadmill. It is a kind of love/hate relationship really. Love that I have it here in my living room, hate that I have to use it instead of running around outside in the warm sun. My only ray of hope right now is that my seed order just came in and I know that if I keep…

I used to think that eating healthy and getting to a healthy fitness level could only be done if my loved ones around me did it as well. I used to think that I would never be able to get it done if we were not all on the same page. In reality, its has been the opposite. (after 2 weeks of seeing hubby suck up junk food…

This was a great story to wake up to. CONGRATS!!!!! You must feel AMAZING being "kicked" out of there! LOL

I have also found myself to be less of a klutz. LOL. More sure of my steps. Sturdy

The past month and a half has been great. I have lost some weight, but its the inches I am most proud of. 4.5 inches in my hips, and 4 inches in my waist. I am sure I have lost inches elsewhere, but I have not been measuring anyhting else. But i am down one size of jeans and almost into the next. I had lost a few lbs…

I do log everything. Well, not vitamins. But other than that I always log everything. I NEED to see the numbers at the end of the day. If I lie, or pad it or leaves something out I am pretty much leaving myself in danger of messing up. If I can lie to my food diary, I am now not being honest to myself. I also.....dont give…

New Hampshie :)

Too funny, was just talking about this to my hubby. I am 5'2'. my "fast walk" is 3.5 and by 4 I am jogging. I can keep a decent fast pace running at 5.5 to 6, depending on how I feel that day. LOL. Where hubby, who is 7 inches taller than me, can still be walking at 4.5. We measured my stride and it is about 23-24 inches.…

Ha Ha, I have egg whites only and use the yolks for other things. NOTHING gets waisted here. I have seemed to end up having less of a taste for the yolk in the past year or so. Not sure why, but I only eat what Ilike. Its a good thing I live with all men who eat any foods I hrow at them.

I have friend who logs all of her cooking time. She prepares three or four meals all at once and then portions it all out for the week. She will find herself logging it weekly because it may take 2 or 3 hours to get this all done. Plus she likes to pump the music and dance around while she cooks :) I do not log anything…

I always do a decent cardio work out in the morning, right after yoga. This will last anywhere from 100-130 minutes. If I am feeling motivated later in the evening I head to the basement and lift and a few times a week. I do an extra 30 min brisk walk on the treadmill ater lifting. To be honst, after the weather warms, my…

Most women annoy me. MOST. There are some that I can hang with and get along with.

I have seen extra weight effect the period. My friend had the most weird schedualed period and it was never"normal" for her. So, after talking to her doc and getting below 175lbs it all worked itself out for her. But yes, check with the docs to make sure it is not something else. Good luck

I could not agree more! Except I still have to much snow to run or walk with grace through my trails. I can still snow shoe through them though. I can not wait for the warm air to kick in. I live next to thousands of acrea conservation land. But my garden and pool take up most of my time in the Summer. LOLK
