Your perseverance is showing! Keep up the good work. On the side, if your photo shows where you live, I used to live there too! Many years ago. Used to go down by the lighthouse park trail to the beach and jog. Miss that town.

I wonder how many guys are reading this thread because they saw the word "boob".

My favorite thread today....think I should flag them all as a form of flattery.

As mentioned above, I like "Flatout Multi-Grain with Flax wraps. They are made with 100% whole wheat, and have 67% fewer net carbs than 2 slices of whole wheat bread. They are light on sodium, and are a good source of ALA Omega 3, which doctors believe helps protect against heart disease, stroke and possibly other…

Google low sodium diet and read away.

I like greek yogurt with nuts and fresh or dried fruit, maybe add some chia seeds or hemp hearts, or low sugar granola in it for breakfast. Clean eating is a hot topic on MFP, you can search it in the forums and get an eye-full of pros, cons, believers and skeptics. There are some great websites for healthy lean eating…

You're doing great! Keep up the good work!

Also remember that water is helpful to make you feel more full! A lot of people find that a big glass of water before their meals helps them feel full faster and eat less. If you don't like the taste of the water where you live, try getting a water bottle that filters chemicals through the intake straw, such as the…

Ditto on coffee. Plus exercise.

Haha..Like the OP, I had a hideous jacket given to me by someone who thought it was wonderful. Actually bought it for herself but too small. I wore it once to please her when visiting her home (not a public place). We both lost weight, and I gave it back to her to "celebrate" her success with something she liked. Sadly she…

Newbies should be directed to your posts and your blog to inhale how success begins, and how you can carry it through. Thank you for sharing your inspirational story and your positive outlook!

High-Five to you! Your enthusiasm shows in your smile, keep up the good work!

Hooray for you! Enjoy every minute with your daughter, and keep up the good work.

Ha Ha-my ticker says I've lost 45 Pfunds! What"s a Pfund? New Urban dictionary term? Yuk yuk. Don't see a way to fix it.

I haven't really thought about "giving up"! I see it as a lifestyle change. Some days I lapse into old habits, but eating healthier has become so routine now that I just do it, and don't see it as something I am "forcing" myself to do. I feel better, look better, and am wearing more flattering clothes. I wouldn't want to…

Completed a 9.2 mile run/race up and down a mountain, and also didn't have to stop and take any breathers on the uphill parts. Also was oldest woman in the race, and was not LAST!! Hopefully can walk tomorrow, ha ha.:bigsmile:

Depends on the time zone! Not an insomniac here yet, ha ha.

My body was starting to remind me that I am not immortal. Nothing I can do about the time aspect, but the healthy living to improve quality of life was staring me in the face with a big WHY? If not now, when? Time is moving on! Great thread.

Single. Don't act my age. Willingly share pictures of boat, ha ha.

Potassium would be the first thing to watch/increase in your diet, but also magnesium is another one. Make sure you are eating enough foods rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium and Vitamin D. Also, if your exercise routine has been dramaticly increased in a very short time, this could be a muscle reaction to sudden…

here's another one from another thread.. http://www.examiner.com/article/new-study-shows-counting-calories-works-best-for-weight-loss-how-to-benefit

You can do it! Keep logging faithfully every single thing you eat. Even if you lose control and eat too much, log it. You may then recognize patterns and behavoirs to change. We ALL have setback days, if you have one, don't give up but just pick yourself up, dust off and continue back on track. There is nothing like a…

I hate the "bounce" too-it can be painful! And possibly leads to loss of ligament/muscle support in older age.I change my exercises to reduce the bounce. The biggest goal is to MOVE, so when a program/video I am following calls for something like jumping jacks, I just do a big "side" step and arm swing each way. When they…

Jut hit Onederland last week for the first time in 20 years. Filled up a big bag to donate with my old favorite scrubs-too big now! Also went through my closet to find some dressy clothes for a public presentation and all my clothes just hang on me!. Thought they would look better but they actually now look worse! Gonna do…

The specialist will probably do some blood tests on you-including thryoid and prolactin. An elevated prolactin (pituitary hormone) can cause periods to stop. Chances are it is your low body fat/stress/over exercising but just adding that the specialist may check these things to rule out other issues. Remember to take a…

If you don't want to make your own (the best!), look in the refrigerated area near produce for Bolthouse Farms-Caesar Parmigiano Yogurt Dressing (45 Cal/2 Tbsp) or Chunky Blue Cheese Yogurt Dressing (35 cal/Tbsp). Other flavors too. These are pretty delicious, and the sodium sugar and fat are low. I also like Bernstein's…

I prefer Coconut oil. And Jack Daniel's Whiskey Steak Marinade/

But Soylent Green is overprocessed and has chemical additives. I know, I bought a box from ThinkGeeks.com

Ha Ha that used to happen to me too-get in shape, look good, get asked out, exercise time squeezed out and pounds creep back. Seemed like new dates always centered around food/eating out. Now I'm many years older and it is happening all over again!!!! Am starting to look at menus online to pre-plan what to order. I read…

Good for you! I always feel good when I do that to! Each day that you are in control gives you more determination to keep it up. And remember, if you DO occasionally go over, it is not a deal breaker, it is OK as long as you get right back on track! Yay you!
