I can't stand running!!!! Have never experienced that high either. That's why I don't run. You need to do things you enjoy :smile: [/quote] And this. I don't like running either, it's hard on my body, but I love to walk and swim and bike and pilates and core training and, well you get the picture. Find stuff you actually…

I feel the exact same way also and say the same things to myself (except the Donna part cause my name is Jill :smile: ). I have been at the same weight and can't seem to drop under that 190 mark for 4 weeks now. But I continue to Stay the Course. I know it will happen and just recently I tweaked what I was eating a little,…

I've never met a bacon I don't love, but Canadian bacon is YUM and not so greasy! Not that I'm against grease per se, but that's what makes Canadian Bacon one of my favs, no greasy mess.

Here's my favorite one - it's simple, yummy and only has a few ingredients: 1/2 frozen banana - doesn't have to be frozen, I just freeze mine to last longer 1/2 to 1 cup frozen pineapple - same as frozen principle above - I like to freeze my own fresh fruit 1 and a half cup Almond Breeze Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk 1/2…

LMAO So simple, yet so hard to comprehend.

I figured out (at least I think) how many cals I should be eating a week with the usual amount of exercise that I normally do (estimating lower rather than higher on cal burn) and use that as my target. If I workout more or less that week, I don't adjust it because I am fairly predictable and get the same amount in, just…

I totally agree with you Lori. It's hard to get it all in, without a lot of work. Chicken is also a great way to get protein without a lot of calories and of course my favorite yogurt in the world, Siggi's has great protein to calorie ratio and no artificial sweeteners, which is a big plus for me. I know a lot of people…

I posted before I read the article because I thought I had something funny to say. That was probably the best article I have ever read on obesity. Thank you.

I'll help you steer.

But what will become of Doc Oz?

I'm excited for the lecture also. Thanks for setting up the group.

I used to be a 38J but am now a 34E but I have to scoop my boobs into the bra. Uhmmmmm you're still a 34E! Holy crap, I don't really get it. Those are still huge boobs.......so ya you lost me for sure.

I wish I would have just read your message instead of the many many many minutes I spend trying to get through her article. Can we say less is more! I kept getting lost on what the hell her message was supposed to be saying. You were succinct (briefly and clearly expressed) and I believe hit the nail on the head. However,…

Very inspiring. What a good way to celebrate your loss and give something invaluable in return as a way to mark the progress. Nice job!!!!

That's funny. I've ended up having the carry my Shih Tzu a few times too. They have short noses and can't cool themselves as well, so I have to make sure she doesn't overheat, but she'll go forever if she could. She is really fit for a little 8 year old and still has loads of energy, she just can't walk in the heat.

I have 3 dogs, 2 Shih Tzu's and one Terrier Mix Mutt and he is wild. He also never leaves my side and stares at me constantly like he is head of heels in love with me, it's quite funny. We go out walking every morning before sun up also. Love it, makes my day and his. I really should get up earlier so we can walk longer.…

Happy, I pulled on a pair of pants today that used to be uncomfortably tight to wear and they slid right on over my hips and loose in the waist. Plus my hair looks awesome today, it's Friday and even though the scale didn't drop, I feel like I'm losing again.

I feel the same way. I think the most important part of exercising is finding something you really like to do or can tolerate for those that hate exercising. I have always liked being active/exercising when it's something I want to do. I love to hike with my dogs, bike, swim is my all time fav sport, boxing and I like to…

I just don't feel like it tonight, and it's ok to not feel like it once in a while so I'm going to skip it, besides - insert next stupid reason here. I like to have 2, then it sounds more convincing. But that one sounded bad before I even got it out of my head.

Exactly how do you weigh an elephant's penis anyway? I can't quite get past that one. Just a frumpy house cat for me.

Yes, cooking/eating for just myself is much easier, you are right. Would your family not like "healthier" meals? I started cooking chicken or fish or steak and vege's and my daughter (it's just me and a non-picky 16 year old) never blinked an eye and loves the way I cook now. I never make pasta and she never complains, but…

Sounds like you're in a home "rut". I have the same problem. In fact, just going to my parents house, I would end up in front of the fridge pulling open the doors, just to see what was in there, even if I wasn't hungry or there to eat, it was just what I did. Habit, that's really the word I meant. You get home, you're with…

Are you afraid of him because of what he'll do to you? I don't think this is about weight loss. I think this is about self preservation and if what I think you are trying to portray here is accurate, you need to get some distance and work on your relationship or just get the hell out. If he is truly abusive, it will not…

Lots of good advice. BKYOUN definitely has some sound advice. My advice would be to not do it at all, but try to keep encouraging activity and healthy eating in a positive way and continue to work on yourself. Your relationship will either thrive because there is love and respect or die anyway if you don't have that…

I think what you're taking as people coming at you is just good, sound, solid advice. Everyone has to do what works for them, but what works for every single person on the face of this earth is eating at a calorie deficit. Now figuring out what your deficit is and what foods make you happy, healthy, feeling good, whatever…

Speaking of mushrooms, wonder how it would taste with mushrooms instead of sausage? I make something like that but I put the stuffed jalapeno's on an egg mixture and bake it. Mmmmmm, then when I'm rushed in the mornings (like every one of them) I can grab that and head out the door and eat breakfast at work instead of…

You look terrific, nice work! I love the purple.

Did that comment she made make any sense at all to you? Cause it sure doesn't to me or many others. Honestly, sometimes I just don't know where people come up with these bits o' advice. Do you know how hard some people have to work on their calf muscle just to have one sorta show? Besides having a defined calf muscle is…

Damn, Ironcakes, those are some legs, and by those are some legs, I mean freaking awesome legs! Did you get those with all the bacon? I just started incorporating bacon back into my diet!

Ditto on that rock solid advice. Take every single piece of that advice. And thanks for starting this peeps thread, I'm laughing my *kitten* off, no literally it is coming off. You peeps are funny! Wish I had something peeps to add. :laugh:
