Do you get enough sleep ?

Here is an affirmation I have written for myself Every single day I choose health for my body, mind and spirit. I am loving exercising a minimum of 30 minutes every day I am building my strength and rebuilding my body by working out at the gym at least twice per week I am loving eating well as I know it improves my health…

I started at 425 and am now 325 I have been around this weight now for almost 2 months I am hoping to break this plateau soon

WOW Congratulations A 5k is still so far from my sights What a Fantastic EFFORT

Jem CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NO CIGARETTES!!!!! That is a truly fantastic achievement

Just fantastic work!!!

Feeling happy or content with your body is never actually about how it looks what you feel is what you feel And how you look is how you look It is like people who buy something to make themselves feel better, new shoes, new hairstyle, new car even that is just a temporary bandaid over a hole in their soul You are doing…

Thanks Emily you are doing great and look amazing

My biggest lesson is LOG EVERYTHING at the time you are eating it it really makes you conscious of your food choices and what i am still trying to learn is drink more water I am also an affirmation person I always have the mantra " I make wise food choices' before i order or buy food ... i hear it in my head now i have…

congratulations i felt that excited when i got under 400 pound i am hoping next year i will get that rush again when i reach under 300

that is fantastic lew i hope i get to follow you along this path

We can do this I hate walking but have taken going to the heated pool where i can manage to walk without pain Also on commercial breaks between my tv shows I do laps of my house as fast as i can

Take care of you the fact that you have returned to MFP is a great start it will allow you to become a mindful eater and to log truthfully will make a great impact anyway so 1800 is so realistic, take it easy take time for your self care

Hello everyone new :)

Congratulations Jemethyst!!

On sunday night I went to a party and when greeted and hugged by a good friend Mark he said "Oh my God Carol where have you gone? I can wrap my arms around you twice " Anyway I loved him for that I have lost 35lb and cant really see it but it is nice to know that someone notices when they hug you Mark was always one of my…

Hi Heather How are you going since vocalizing your fears? has anything shifted? A friend of mine who has lost 100lb gave this advice to someone in a thread and I thought I would share it with you If you are feeling stuck Buy a FITBIT ...track your movement as weight loss is 80% food, 15% activity and 5% genetic/attitude…

and did your body answer your call this week I see you have lost 5 lbs Amazing work!!!!

Congratulations

Just to add something to your question A UK 26 is an Australian 24 and a US 22

My left knee is really stuffed and have lower back pain too On land i walk for a maximum of 6 minutes But in water I can walk for an hour I am now doing this 3 times per week (I would do it daily but the pool is a 120km round trip and it is the sheer economics of affording the petrol and heated pool entry. (it is the last…

I have wondered about logging my weigh gain I chose not to you will see that i plateau So far it is all lost the following week so i have little plateaus in my weight in my graph and i do know that i went up and down One week i went up 3.5kg - 7.7lbs ...which horrified me ...but it was all gone the next week One week i…

I started MFP after getting really sick with Legionella and last week went to the Physiotherapist in regard to my lungs She also gave me some great easy excercises to assist with my toning and strengthening many using high tensile bands I would recommend google-ing resistance band excercises At 390lbI am just doing some of…

I love the yardage idea too also I love a ZigZiglar quote "You dont have to be great to start but you have to start to be great!"

I have never felt this Is it still happening?

I have started at 415lbs and lost 25 lb in the past 70 days I too cannot notice anything different in my body as it is only 6% If you saw something on sale a 6% discount would not attract you but 20% might What i have noticed that is different is my ability to get up and move It is only step by step but what a difference…

Drink more water!! I know that most of my hunger pangs were now what i recognise to be thirst
