@ navyjen: Jamie Dorman Have an awesome pic of him, but can't seem to post it ;) I'll take Sam Elliot ;) B)

I have 7 tats. This one is my favorite. It represents myself and my two daughters: Oh well, it's not letting me post the image for some reason. Maybe I can get it in another time. :-)

YAY for you! I'm so proud of you and I'm sure you're proud of yourself. You have done amazing since you've started, so just keep doing what you are doing, my friend. You will look AND feel so much better as the weight comes off. Here's wishing you success and a long healthy, happy life! :) <3

This: Seems like you got a lot of advice; however, when I gave blood the last time I was told no heavy lifting or strenuous exerise, and that included cario. Your body has to rebuild the blood cells and rest for at least 24 hours. And I donate blood every three months when the Blood Mobile comes to my work. :)

You are beautiful......and what do you mean, 'when you were young"? What are you now, 25? :) And, if anyone flirted with me, I'd feel honered, at my age! :p

@ CorvusCorax77: Is your mom on any type of routine, food/exercise wise? Any advice?

OK, while we are on the suject of abs.....is it possible for a woman 60 years of age, new to weight lifting, with time and patience, see some toning and definition in her lower abdomin? I've had two C sections and hystorectomy. Is there anything anyone can suggest? Thanks~

This! I actually had a girl tell me "F*$k you when I told her to get off the phone and drive!

HOOOOOWWWWDY! B)

I totally agree with this. From what I'm reading, everyone's information is "inconclusive" . This article says one thing, while another article says another. What works for one person, may not work for someone else. From my experience, you can't believe EVERYTHING you read on the Internet.... as one person put it: SO, who…

I agree with the above remark: I'm a 60 year old grandma and I didn't get affended. This is what the commerical is about: "A man is minding his own business and eating cherry pie in a diner when another man sits next to him, throws his pie, and accuses him of being a 78 year old grandma knitting a sweater. He shouldn't be…

I'd like to add my "Great job, you look amazing", comment! :) This is what I have been wanting to do. I have been working out at a health club and the routine the trainer put me on was mainly "weight machines". I have lost 32 lbs, but now I feel strong enough to move on to "free weights". I'm not as young as all of you,…

I LOVE Everyone's NSV! I know you all feel good about it and it gives you even more motivation to keep on going! :-) My recent NSV was when I showed a friend of mine a picture of me from last summer where I was on the beach. She looked at it and asked, "who's that?" I said, "it's me!" She couldn't believe it was me. She…

I have been working out since August, 2014. I joined a Woman's Health and Fitness Center. I started out with a trainer, using weight machines. To date I have lost 29 lbs and 11.5 inches. For physical reasons and age, I couldn't do much of anything at first. I have bee m reading and learning more about the benefits of…

The Shining.

I started taking Metformin about 6-7 months ago. I always heard it could cause you to loose weight, may upset your stomach, have diarrehea, etc.; however, I never really had these sypmtons, (loss of appetite). Now when I ate more than I probably should have, I would have a little nausea, but that's all. I am on 500mg.…

After work, will do lower body circut traing, plus (2) 10 minute intervals on X Ryder.

@ Somegirls: I am 5 foot even and weigh 165. You don't look like you weigh 160 lbs. Wish I looked as good as you! :) You look amazing! I hate my stomach. Wish I knew more exercises to work the abdominal muscles!

A co-worker friend of mine always calls me Pammeycakes. and I was born in 55. :D

Congratulations~ :) You look so amazing, healthy, AND happier! Such great success! (*)

How would you know....you're only 30....just a baby. Come back when you're 60 and say the same thing. Age does have a lot to do with it!

Closest so far: July 12

I agree with tigerblue....everyone is different. Taking that into consideration, I am 5'1/2" I weigh 172 lbs right now and my goal weight is 130 - 135, due to my age. This is the recommendation of my doctor also. I was like some of you when in my 20's I weighed 98-105 lbs., then came marriage, and kids, I got up to 148,…

Congratulations! I am amazed also at the amount of weight you have lost in such a short time. I am like some of the others, although I do not exercise 60 minutes a day/ 6 days a week. I suppose if I could stay at the same routine you do, I might could loose more. :smiley: Because of health reasons I can't. So, kudos to you…

I feel the same way here, I weigh in every Friday morning after I use the rest room before I get dressed. IF I'm going to see a change, (for the better), this will be the day it happens. If I weighed every day, I would go mad, also. Hope you find your "happy weigh in". :)

Hi Sandy. I have been on Metformin since August, 2014. However, I haven't experienced any of the syptoms you have. I haven't eaten any potato chips or greasy food, either. :) Maybe you should talk to your doctor about these sypmtoms? It wouldn't hurt. I'm sorry you are going through this. Maybe you could eat foods that…

Wonderful Job, Kris! I know you do feel good and proud for what you have accomplished. ;) I am quite older than you and am in a 14 now, ( down from a 16/18). It has taken me 4 months to accomplish that. I suppose it takes older folks longer to achieve that goal. :p Well at least in my case it does. I can't do the type of…
