I recently went to the doc with my ankle. I have a history of twisting my ankle and when I started going to they gym it got really sore. The doc found that I had an old fracture in the ankle joint and when I pulled a ligament a chunk of the bone came out with it. Right now I am in a walking boot for 2 weeks. He suggested I…

Awesome job! You are such an inspiration!

Oh no! I feel for you. I went to the doc Sunday and found out I had fractured my ankel! I'm so upset about it because I can't work out. I had lost 12 lbs and now I am afraid I am going to gain it all back and then some. A friend of mine told me that while I can't workout, I can still watch my calories. I plan to do that…

I eat what every I want, even chocolate. I just log everything I eat and make sure I don't go over. Nothing is off limits for me. I know if I think "I can't" have that, then that is exactly what I want. So, there is nothing I "can't " have.

I like MaidCare. Sounds like something I could see becoming well know. You know...people sitting around wondering who to call to help take care of Granny and keep her house tidy..."Hey, call MaidCare..."

Also recommend Jen as a friend.

DO NOT GIVE UP! I understnad that is is discouraging, it was also very rude of someone to do that. You cannot let that person get the upper hand...take that feeling of discouragement and turn it into something strong! Determination, motivation, etc., what ever it takes. Just keep doing the things you know are right and let…

Welcome! Best of luck on your journey. You will surely find support and motivation here.

Welcome. Yes, this place will help you. I have found that most of the people I have encountered are very supporting and motivational.

Welcome! You have come to the right place. Everyone here is very supportivie. Good luck on your journey.

Great post. I agree totally!! Like, like, like...etc.

Awesome!! I know you feel good about that and you should. That's a great accomplishment. Congrats!

Not sure about all cable companies, but I have Time Warner and I get a channel called FitV. I also have on demand so I can search any exercise program I want to try (ie walking, yoga, Jillian Michaels, etcs.)

Even though my exercise calories add back to my allowable calories, I don't eat all those calories. There are times when I just need a little something extra, so exercise calories are like a cushion if I go over.

Wow! Reading this I can relate!! I too am a single Mom, drive thru is so much easier when you have had a long day at work, kids are hungry, you are tired, etc... I know I would not look at myself in the mirror, but when I did catch a glimpse...OMG. I understand completely! How did this happen? Good for you for making the…

Welcome and congrats on the decision you have made. You will find lots of support and motivation here. Enjoy!

OK, haven't been here in a while so I have some catching up to do. 1. August goals-lose 10 lbs; workout everyday (even if I don't make it to the gym) and drink more water!!! 2. What foods I refuse to give up? Full flavor/fat cheese, chocolate (I really only like dark chocolate) and coffee...all the way with cream and sugar…

Great story!! It's good that you have a good relationship with your PT and everyone laughed about it. Too funny. Good for you on loosing 3 sizes! Keep up the good work!

Yes, people tell me that too and I do agree with them somewhat. I think the "what you should weigh" chart is broken. I am 5'1" and I should weigh no more than 130-135. I think I would be OK at 135, but much lower than that I think would be too skinny. Of course, that has become the norm in society. I don't want to look…

I completely agree! Keep doing what you know is right. Take care of yourself.

Welcome! I love this site! Everyone is very supporting and motivational. I think you will like it. Sounds like you already have a lot of equipment, so all you need to do it get busy. :wink:

Awe...that's great! I'm happy for you and congrats!

I agree with getting videos and also you can get a pilates ball at any department store or walmart. Pilates is a great exercise to do at home and using the ball helps engage your core.

Welcome! I have about 100 lbs to lose. I love this site, everyone is very supportive. Hope you find lots of good motivation here.

That's a great accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself. Being away from home and our usualy routine is hard and I think you did a great job. Congrats!

Hi...love the new names for support groups. I am family and a rainbow warrior! :happy:

Thanks everyone!!

Great motivation! Thanks!

ME!

My name is Rhonda. I'm 40...something LOL. That just makes it harder for me to lose weight. I want to lose about 100 lbs. I just started a few weeks ago so have only lost 5 lbs so far, but I think I am now addicted to this "healthy" thing.
