After having 2 babies, I have to stop drinking water by a certain time or else I am up in the middle of the night in the bathroom. I would suggest cutting off tv, computer, cell at least an hour before bed. I like doing a devotional before bed or journaling (putting all your junk on paper). I tend to wake up sometimes…

Well said. : )

1.4 lbs a week by Christmas? I think that is manageable. Great goal. Count me in.

I have a question - Are you scarfing down your food? Are you drinking water with your food? I used to eat fast because when you have boys, they want seconds even though you just touched your food. But I have slowed down and not look like I was shoveling it it. : )

Count me in.... : ) Just weighed in this morning at 210. By the 09/30 weigh in, I want to be 204.

Wow, 4,000 steps...... Hummmm. Yeah, count me in, my butt could use it. Thanks.

Love the quote!

You probably already know, but make sure you have a good pair of running shoes - especially if you have foot problems. This will make a huge difference in how your feet feel. Some good shoe places will help you get the right pair. They look at you barefoot, then watch you walk, how you stand, etc.... I am a overpronator,…

Good morning, Congrats on deciding to to a 5K. Here where I live, we have the Albany walk/run program by Jeff Galloway. There are like 5 or 6 different pace groups you can do. My first race was a 5K, then a 10K, 15K and a 1/2 marathon. (I was a little over 200 lbs. when I did the 1/2 marathon). There is an app you can…

I am not a nurse yet. I work full time at a hospital in non-clinical, but have been going to school online and at nights the last 2 1/2 years. I have finished all my core and waiting to get into the nursing program, so this semester I am taking 2 core classes for my BSN and wow, am I ever getting my butt kicked. Determined…

Yes, log everything. One of my co-workers eats a lot of fruit thinks she is being healthy, but she failed to realize she consumes about 300 calories at work just from her red grapes, then she has 2 apples. They add up quickly. But if you are faithful in keeping up with your food and exercise log, you will see where you…

My best meal is breakfast. I have oatmeal with x-tra crunch peanut butter, chia seeds and a little sweetner. It runs around 350 calories, but is so filling, long lasting and delicous!

Hi there, I wish losing belly fat was quick, but unfortunately it will always be the "hostess" and making room for the excess fat. Like many of the relpy's said that eating healthier will help with that. If you don't like crunches, you can try it on a ball - or I like to sit on the edge of my bed, lift my knees and lean…

Make sure you check with your dr. first to see if you have any underlying problems, such as thyroid or depression.

I take the Chromium GTF Chelate and 7-Keto. I also increased my fruits and veggies. Seems like it has jump started this slow metabolism.

Wow, great job with the 50 lbs!!!!

I agree with others - writing everything down that you eat in the food journal is a big key. I just started a few days ago on myfitnesspal and I thought I was doing great until I looked at my snacks - 400+ (I just can't have raisins and peanuts everyday for a snack). If you are having a hard time getting off the Coke's,…
