Italy in April 2018

We're doing a backcountry hike in November in the Guadalupe Mountains to the top of Guadalupe Peak. It's no where near the tallest mountain in the States, but, it'll be my first climb. When I first started exercising last July I couldn't walk more than a minute or two at a 6% incline at 2 mph....tonight I hoofed it at 9%…

I think weight loss, like anything else, moves in cycles, or waves. You'll have times when you're on fire for it and times when it's cold. Do what everyone else has already said, maintain your progress so far and don't try to force yourself to be motivated. It'll kick in on its own eventually. In the mean time take up…

Request sent!

Bacon and Diet Coke

That's great news!! I've been doing it about three months, my numbers went from the low 100s to high 80s. My mother has been doing it two months now- her doc just took her off her cholesterol medication this afternoon because she no longer needs it. Needless to say she's devoted now.

Doing a 16:8, with eating window around 11-7 or 12-8 depending on the work week (alternates between opening and closing shifts each week). On Saturday nights I do a 24hr water only starting at 7 pm and ending Sunday evening. I then break the fast with a salad. Kind of sets up the upcoming week; not to mention Friday…

That is truly inspiring. Definitely following

It's a mixed bag here. My husband, workmates and one close friend are extremely supportive. My other close friend tries to be, but, she's naturally an Eeyore (remember Eeyore...from Winnie The Pooh??) so her support is laced with woe. I did have one person who I used to consider a friend but no longer. At the beginning of…

Started at 290, down a couple. This (hangs head in shame) will be my third try.

I'm 32 and in the same boat! Added

sumo, i have a big belly so sumo style makes better room for the chubs.

"Fried eggs nailed to a tree".......:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Fast food at lunch.... breakfast and dinner are under control now, but I have a hard time at lunch.

I read them all also, it's somehow encouraging...

I tried to apply for health insurance at the beginning of the year and was declined because, even though I have a clean medical record, my current height/weight ratio makes me an underwriting risk. That hurt my feelings lol.

Bump!

Yup, I lost 20 something pounds in the first half of 2013, then in October got a new job... I don't know what happened. It's like my food brains just turned off. I don't know if it was the stress of getting/learning a new job, or the new environment and the feeling of lonliness from working with new people and my husband…

My advice would be to have someone show you how to do the basics. Build your foundation first with someone who is experienced. When I first started I tried doing it by reading books and watching youtube videos, but, found it was difficult putting those into practice. Especially when in the process of doing a lift and then…

I lived in Michigan for a few years. The greatest snow weather workout ever: Snow Shoveling. It'll have you huffing and puffing in just a few minutes.

I'll play. Maybe I'll be able to use the 45lb for the entire workout by the last day :) currently my workouts start with the 45 but have to downgrade half way through to the 35 because, well, its freakin' heavy lol.

My two favourite bands are Satyricon and Cradle of Filth. "Absinthe and Faust" is my favourite song, could listen to that one over and over and over.

I can't browse the NASA website anymore :frown:

Use my husbands nailclippers/tweezers/scissors/pens because I lose them :grumble:

Nachos with extra peppers and extra onions!!! :love:

If I get touched on one side then i have to touch the other side to make it even. Same with my pockets. Both pockets have to be evenly filled. My work space is immaculate and I'm extremely anal about it but at home I'm messy. I can read Russian but don't speak it. I love watching cartoons and adore animals more than…

Boiled eggs and tuna with avocado

Mine is set at 1560. Tend to go over on days when I'm not paying attention but on days when I behave and eat my lean meats and veg the opposite is true and I have a hard time making it to 1200.

I need to hurry up and eat before my stomach drives me to sonic...that description made my mouth water...

Actually... it seems like it might be pretty good... a nice savoury waffle.....damn I'm hungry.....
