  • I have a sports bra that I love (Enell) but struggle to find a "good" everyday bra as suggested above. I'm probably too picky, because I'm looking for something that doesn't have seams all over the cup - I don't want to look like I've got a road map under my shirt. I also don't buy underwire because every one I've ever…
  • Everything good you've read about this program is true and then some. A lady posted the other day with pics under success stories - search under "I feel like a superhero" That's all I can remember of the title, but it was so inspirational. She was in the 300's when she started and has the best attitude. The best thing for…

  • Don't beat up on yourself. I was at 219lbs in a tight size 18. Now, at 182 - yes, that's a 37 pound loss - I am still in an 18 for 95% of my clothes. Granted they fit loosely, but I can't make even a tight 16 yet. We'll get there - have no fear. I'm sure it will happen because I got rid of every size I owned except the 16s…

  • I think the wages coding at home depend upon the area of coding and your educational background. Home Health coding generally involves review of all the admission documentation with feedback on OASIS documentation. I can get a better level of pay as a nurse than a coder without a medical background. I know some of the…
  • ICD9 until October 2013....except the physicians will surely get there way and it will be postponed until at least October 2014. Cracks me up how they said "You have to get ready because it WILL NOT be postponed again!!!!" - yeah, right. I spent 1K on ICD10 training so I could train others and now there's no interest -…
  • Home health coding and chart review here - I'm detail oriented so I like it a lot. The best perk for me is working at home :) My sympathies to those who have incorrect codes on their records. One person mistakenly enters 250.00 and you're diabetic for the rest of your life. Try to get life insurance after that. I see so…
  • Every time I see your pictures I just sit and smile - you're photos show one of the best transformations on MFP and greatest part is your smile in the after photos - keep on inspiring us all! :flowerforyou:
  • Thanks everyone for the great ideas - I've been 'stuck' lately without much running progress so I took a few days off. I'm going back out today so I'll give these ideas a try. I really appreciate your thoughts :flowerforyou:
  • That is so great - now, how did you win that mental game??? I totally agree that there's a huge "it's all in your head" piece to it
  • Speaking as another 5'9" woman - you're not only beautiful, you're totally inspiring!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Now I'm sorry I already had a snack because that is one yummy picture!!!! (sorry to be a bit crude there, but you look that good) :love:
  • You are most definitely the superhero of the month! It's so funny how we just assume we can't do certain physical activities because we're too heavy. I'm coming up on 5K #3 and I would have never believed such a thing could be possible. I'm so proud of you, and feeling that exact same, "Wow, did I really just do that?…
  • Agreed - and no sexual side effects for most people :bigsmile: *Edited to say: She was asking everyone what worked for them. She was just looking for opinions. Just like any advice asked and given here, whether it's about how many calories to eat, or what exercise plan to use. I see no problem in her asking the question,…
  • No wonder you have such a fantastic smile in that last pick - you look totally amazing and have transformed yourself into an entirely differen person - so, so, so, beautiful!!!!!
  • You do look so incredible! I'm 5'9" and at 183 and I'm nowhere close to looking like you. I know body different body types will affect appearance, but I'm curious about the changes you've seen. Did you develop that great figure mostly from the weight loss, or have you started noticing changes from the weights - I wasn't…
  • As crazy as it sounds, snow shoveling is a fantastic workout - not much opportunity on campus but like someone mentioned you might be able to find someone to help who's elderly/handicapped and then you've accomplished two great things at once!
  • I took a peek at your profile when I saw that great number on your ticker - I just had to say how fantastic you look, and I love that happy smile on your face! How smart you are to be having these realizations and making changes at such a relatively young age - no doubt you're going to go very far in life! :flowerforyou:
  • You look so fabulous, tone, strong, sexy, ..... every good word I can think of! What type of lifting program did you do? Something of your own or a particular program? How often are you working out and what type of workouts (i.e. all strength, cardio mixed in, etc.) Sorry for all the questions, but........You're a total…
  • I hereby nominate you for the MFP hall of fame :flowerforyou: <if only I had such powers> You are both amazing, and your little boy is going to be just like mom and dad!
  • AHHHH......AHHHHH....AHHHHH...AHCHOOOOOOO!!!! ........ Now where did I put my Zyrtec???? :sick:
  • Less gravity would mean I would weigh less on Mars....maybe I better get packing :) One day we will live on Mars, but it will because a business on Earth has figured out a way to make $$$$ off of the whole thing - then we can go mess up another planet - why stop at one if there are two in a solar system humans can trash?
  • :bigsmile: Run, hfzimmerman, Run! Like others, I could only make it 1 minute when I started C25K. I still can't run a 5K, but I can alternate jogging/walking and finish in 35 minutes, which I think is a pretty darn grand improvement! When I am running more regularly I do lose weight faster and I can also see an improvement…

  • Very, very, very definitie difference - you look much more tone and athletic! You and Tony Horton got a thing going on!
  • You couldn't be any more beautiful if you tried :flowerforyou: I wanna be like you! (just 25 years older-no problem, right?)
  • This is an EXCELLENT idea - we do need a "hall of fame" for the Ed Davenports and all the rest of you fine people with incredible success stories. I'm going to steal your idea and put it on the suggestions site - someone else probably has, but too bad - it's worth saying again!
  • WOW doesn't begin to describe your story! Best part of having your dream vacation is taking it while living in your dream body!!!!
  • First, the picture is exceptional! Kudos to the person who was quick thinking to catch that photo - talk about priceless~ Second, FANTASTIC running! I did my 2nd 5K Sunday with worse weather than the first, and like you I shaved off time (39.5 to 37.5 minutes appx). Isn't it just the greatest feeling of accomplishment when…
  • You've done a beautiful job - and if you hadn't told me otherwise, I'd have thought you were ALREADY at goal looking at your 2nd picture! You'll be looking super super fine if you put even more into
  • That's a beautiful story!!!! Think of the wonderful inspiration you and your husband are for your son :flowerforyou:
  • Wow, what incredible determination leading to amazing results - you look absolutely beautiful! You'll be at goal in no time and then stay at goal for ever I'm sure :flowerforyou:
