If there's room I would love to join!

I wear a fitbit, so any walking I do is taken into account. Typical day to day stuff I probably wouldn't log but if you are spending more time walking than typical for you I would say it isn't cheating.

I was just mentioning to my family last night that I am really nervous about Halloween. What is it about Reeses Peanut Butter cups that has most of us craving them? They are definitely my weakness as well! I have children and we have "treats" in the house at all time, and I really don't have a problem avoiding them, but…

Hey Dahlia - Thanks for your support. The last few months has been a roller coaster emotionally with my family, but I am just proud I have been able to stick to the eating plan at the very least (Exercise on the other hand has been hit and miss) Yes, this is a lower goal weight than I started with, as I hit my goal weight…

You have done an amazing job! Can I ask how tall you are? I too started in the 260lbs range (265lbs to be exact) and as of Friday I weigh 232.4lbs I am 5'4" and I am jealous of the change in you! I have been (not so) patiently waiting but I do not see hardly any difference in my body and especially not the dramatic…

I have a Fitbit One and generally wear it between my breasts as this is the most inconspicuous place to wear it. I hardly feel it at all. The only two downfalls I find of wearing it there are 1) when I exercise I sweat a lot and the One can get quite wet. 2) If you like checking your Fitbit throughout the day it can be…

I had a rough day yesterday. In the morning at the gym couldn't finish my upper body routine, which made me feel weak. Then I went home and put on a flowing summer dress (probably the last one of the season) and looked in the mirror and I was happy that, from my breasts to my feet the dress fell straight! I was so excited…

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? No (I went over by 100 cals or so but I have been way under for the last week or two so I intentionally spiked a bit) Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Not really. Went over in cals and didn't do any cardio (If I had done the cardio that I expected to then I wouldn't have…

^^^ This All of my children love listening to the CD and I can't wait until its playing near by so they can see it live. I was lucky to be able to see it on vacation.

Hello again :-) I haven't checked in in over a week but I haven't given up on my efforts. I have stayed under my caloric limits this entire time. Exercise has been spotty, but not horrible. With my daughter going back to school on Tuesday it gives me time to focus on myself again. Did you stay within your nutritional…

I don't know if its just around here, but I have gone to a few different Old Navy's stores (some in Canada and some in the US) and have had no problems finding plus sizes in their stores at all.

BoneFida - What exactly are wrist straps? What do they do? I have previously stated that I have bad wrists and knees. I fractured my left wrist 7 years ago. At the time I didn't realize it was fractured and only went to see the doctor the day after, and it had already started to heal incorrectly. For years any time I have…

1. As a lot of you have said "I don't LOOK like I weight as much as I do" 2. With my (wrists, knees, ankles) I simply CAN'T exercise 3. Well if I lose the weight I'm gonna get all wrinkly.... I'm better off "filled out" OMG!!! How could I have been so blind?

Thanks everyone for the support! I think for many of us, summer is coming to an end and we want to enjoy it while it lasts. For me it's because my son is being difficult because the summer is coming to an end. He decided he wants to live with dad... went for a weekend visit and called to say he is not coming back... Ever…

Thanks everyone for your input! Just to clarify a few things. It was a personal trainer that told me to use the machines for the time being. We talked a lot about the belief that heavy lifting is the way to go. The trainer is only concerned with my ability of being able to handle the weights on my wrists and knees. At the…
