Stay at home mom, teacher to my 12 year old homeschooled daughter & baby sitter to 5 kids!

Awesome Job!!!

I was asked why I cared about her being abstinent (basically) so I was just giving my answer! :) Blessings! edited for grammer again, lol! Opps!

Okay guys, lets all calm down for a second! Lol! It is my personal belief that abstinence is the best policy for many reasons. It could help end STD's, unwed Teen mom's, many people on welfare...but as a Christian it is my personal conviction that sex outside of marriage is against God. So seeing someone honoring God by…

First I want to applaud you on your commitment to God! It is an amazing thing! Also I applaud you on your commitment to being pure until marriage. I wish more people would take tha route you have taken! Finally, congrats on the weight loss!! It's GREAT! Remember, Greater is HE that is in you than he that is in the…

Thanks!!

It's an awesome study!!

Thanks everyone!!

I also bought the ministry kit. I am currently leading a the bible study!!

I'm 5'6. Started at 290 & am so far at 258. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1101387-my-made-to-crave-journey-2-1-2-months-32lbs-pics

Thanks!!!

^^^^ : ) ^^^^^ This!!

Well its so nice to know you are 100% sure of how I will be feeling since we are all created exactly alike...

Oh, also, I do not feel weak or depleted. I have more energy now than I did before I started losing weight. I feel great physically & mentally.

Ok, here's the deal. I'm not starving myself. My caloric intake is low, but I'm not walking around hungry all the time. I eat when I'm hungry & feel satisfied when I'm done. My question about starvation mode was not a "my stomach is constantly growling" question but a "am I not losing weight faster cause my caloric intake…

This is the answer I was looking for! Thank you!

I've only done mine on the treadmill! When I get done with C25K I plan on starting C210K and doing some of the running outside, since the weather will be cooler!

Just finished week 5 day 3 of ‪C25K‬! I just ran 20 min straight, which is just over 1.25 miles for me. Glory to God!! PTL!!!! I honestly can't believe I was able to accomplish it!!! God promised I would run & not be weary! He is staying true to His word!!

So far I'm losing about half a pound a day. I know the smaller I get the smaller the loss will get too. I'm doing C25K 3 days a week & strength training another 3 days a week. I think I'll take my focus off sodium and put it on protein for a couple of weeks and see how that works for me! edited to correct spelling

My heart belongs to Mio Energy liquid! I use the Black Cherry & Green Thunder flavors. Its either those or just plain water. Might do an unsweet tea when I go out to eat.

I only pay attention to fat when it looks like I'm going over my limit per MFP. I don't really pay attention to fiber or carbs because I eat a fruit & veggie heavy diet which tends to keep my carb & fiber intake at a acceptable level. Thats why I look at my protein intake, sometimes I can be low on protein intake. I also…

I LOVE mine! I've had mine since the 4th of Aug and have lost 17lbs so far with it. I wear it constantly! Only take it off for about 30-45 min a day. It makes me much more aware of my movement through out the day! I sync it several times a day so I can see where I am at! I was able to get it on Ebay for much cheaper that…

WOW!! I needed to read this! I do this same one tomorrow. I started this journey 46 days ago at 290 and am currently at 265. Wk5 Day 3 scares me. But so did day 2, and day 1, and every other day before that. And I completed each one without repeating a week!!! You are awesome!! I have no doubt that I will finish this…

Just finished week 5 day 2! OMG! That was hard! Ran 8 min straight....twice!!! To God the glory!!!! All of it!!! Supposed to run 20 min straight on my next day, which will be Saturday... WOW!!!

Yep! It's supposed to be a funny.... Me saying NSV means it has nothing to do with what the number on the scale is, just the fact I can SEE the number on the scale!

I do feel great about it!!

It was suposed to be a play on words! Lol! Nothing about the actual numbers on the scale, just the fact I can see them!

I'm not going to fast. If I slow it down anymore I would be walking. It was so hard for me because I was on an incline. By the last interval I had already worn myself out from doing it on an incline that it was hard to finish. Completed week 4 today, no problems.
