Looks like there is a few spaces left so I am going hop on while I I can! User Name/Real Name: Healermoon/Kendra Goal Weight on April 30: 187 4/01: 4/09: 4/23: 4/30:

I always crave sugary sweet snacks at that time of month too. And about the only time I let myself give into them. Hugs- Kendra

I really liked Rise of the Planet of the Apes! Still looking for family time to watch Cowboys and Aliens! I am looking forward to the new xbox. I have a hard time psyching myself up to work out, and I have pretty bad dancing in the living room skills! But looking forward to trying!

This is so awesome and coincides with a challenge I have set for myself....to go for a walk OUTSIDE for at least 30 minutes a day for the next 30 days....(I am sure my dog, Jem will appreciate this) Who is with me? Hugs- Kendra

Okay, I really have no excuse not to walk now...I live in Southern California, where COLD is 45. :) I do remember winters (I have lived in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Michigan). Your ongoing transformation is amazing and inspiring! The pictures truly show your journey and the path all of us can go down with following…

I am taking Persian 2 at the local community college. It is a 5 credit class and I have to say it much more tough than my Master's levels classes when I was in grad school! I am also looking for full time employment, which in these times finding the right job at the right pay is feeling impossible.

When starting to log calories I started really looking at dinners and found my husband's Persian background really included many many healthy meal choices. Our favorites this week were koresht Karafs which is Celery Stew, this is time consuming and you can make with any type of meat (chicken, beef, lamb), so here is the…

We have our sensor bar on top of the tv, not sure it matters the height or since when you set it up it adjusts accordingly. I have to say...with the Wii Play that comes with the system my favorite game is the cow riding one. My favorite games my son has are...the Rayman (not sure which version, but has a cow throwing game…

Oooooo I do need new workout clothes...the ones I bought when I started this adventure are getting too big! ~Kendra

I think about the calories but generally log them after I eat. I do input water every time I get a glass....which was yesterday only 1 glass (2 cups) on Wednesday I did the Water Wednesday challenge and it was hard but good, and I made it to 4 glasses/ 8 cups! I know thinking about calories this morning, kept me from…

fun movie of the week "Dr. Horrible's Sing A Long Blog" streamed Netflix Good and Surprising movie of the week "Lincoln Lawyer" rented on Blu*ray Movies for this weekend: Cowboys and Aliens & Rise of the Planet of the Apes I plan on getting a Xbox this summer when the Star Wars Collector's one comes out (remarkably around…

When I notice my friends haven't logged in in a few days I always send them a little nudge to say "hey am thinking of you, am here for you" I know that helped me a lot when I was lapsing! And gained back 7 pounds...Now am down nearly 4, and I know it is because I have been more active in the community on MFP and drinking…

Cookies and Milk...always my go to food if feeling down...or late night snack....

I wasn't interested in blu*ray when my husband first bought our first blu*ray player....however then I watched Transformers (one of my favorite movies) on blu*ray and wow such a HUGE difference. Actually I do have lots of pixar stuff in blu*ray too and there is a difference between the dvd and blu*ray. Now my husband came…

I am a total nerd, and cartoon collector! I have Beauty and the Beast 3D, just got it on Blu*ray (figured it was cheaper than paying 17.95 per person to see it on the big screen), and I just got Lion King 3D for the same reason. I collect Blu*ray and DVDs. This weekend my son and I are likely to nerd out and watch HP…

My son and I walk the trail that loops behind our neighborhood. Unfortunately, we can only go up there in midday because it is against a canyon, and there are rattlesnakes, and coyotes, and cougars are not unknown up there either. Thankfully my son and I have always been safe and lucky not to run into any of these…

I didn't like spinach either as a kid, and I realized this was because my mom would only buy the frozen or canned stuff...neither of which I care for even now. However, raw spinach leaves in some pita with a little low fat cream cheese and strawberries....yummy! Or cut up in a salad, awesome, or the best way is booroni…

I am 37, and am a currently around 188 pounds, which is better than the 210 I was this time last year but, my current low weight (middle of last month) was 183....My current small goal is to get to 175, as this was the weight I was when my husband and I started dating. My full goal is to get to a healthy BMI...I also love…

I have the first 30 day work out video for Biggest Losers, 10 minutes a day dvd.... a Yoga Mat... and.... a bunch of 10 minute workouts saved on my Netflix. I do have a Wii but no Wii Fit.

I am Kendra, and I live in southern Orange County, California. Other places I have called home include: Michigan, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. I plan to stay in OC now though. :)

I have been unemployed for the last 3 months. I am only a half step away from a job I really want at the corporate headquarters of a hospital system out here, and yes it will be a desk job. On the good side because it is with a hospital group they have various health challenges for their employees. On the downside while I…

I am 5'2" and today 186. I was at 209, so feeling better, but took me a whole year to lose that much. I am hoping to lose at least that much by summer...and hopefully 70 pounds this year to reach my goal of 115. I am always looking for more friends so feel free to add me!

First CONGRATS it is obvious you are working hard. and like everyone else I want to have some tips and hints from someone who is so successful!!!

Great job, I know since I started this journey it is much easier to say no to those snacks/treats that aren't as healthy but taste so YUMMY! Tonight will be a challenge or me as I am going to my son's Christmas Orchestra Concert and there is a big pot luck afterwards. Small portions, small portions....that is what I keep…

My list is: 1. reach my goal weight (and look awesome in a bikini) 2. go on a honeymoon to Bora Bora (my husband and I have been married 6 years next week, been together 9 1/2 years, and still haven't had time or money to do a honeymoon, so we decided to do something over the top) 3. visit my friends overseas, Netherlands,…

How inspiring!

I am losing weight for myself. I am a bit over a quarter of the way to my goal. It is taking me a long time losing weight but it is okay because that way it is staying off. I think external influences won't hold up long term. I mean sure I want to look good for my husband, and keep up with my son, but over all it is me. I…

For me, I know I am in the same boat. I was laid off last month, and while I can get by on unemployment if my bills were caught up they weren't. I noticed that all my expenses went up 25% from last year (gasoline, utilities and so on), but my pay didn't, and worse unemployment is half of what I made. Thankfully I do get…

I was fairly normal sized kid, but once I got married the first time at 19...I started gaining weight, at first no biggie....10 pounds...but then the second year.....60 pounds....and somehow when I wasn't looking I tipped the scale over 200 pounds....now 10 years into my second marriage I realized my husband, bless his…

Congrats to you. I am still in the obese category, but thankfully in the obese 1 and not obese 2 anymore. I can imagine how it feels just to be overweight and not obese! Grats to you!
