Outstanding!! I've lost 26 pounds since Christmas and have my blood work done in 3 weeks. I can't wait to see how different from last January. I'm eating so much better and exercising more.

I am looking forward to the day I am confident enough to do this!! Working on it. :smile:

When I got my Fitbit 2 months ago my resting heart rate was close to 80 (77-78). The last 2 weeks has been 66-68. I'm improving!

My boobs and belly are now distinctly separate hahaha

Sounds silly but it's all mine, lol. I wake up hungry in the morning instead of either starving or still full from the night before. Waking up every morning and feeling that first sip of water going all the way down and hitting the empty stomach feels magical to me.

Comfortably wore a pair of jeans that hadn't been able to button in months. Decided to see if they were getting close yet and hey, they fit!

Awesome! I wonder why pastries and doughnuts at a fitness class though. Isn't that unusual?

Awesome!! Congrats to you!!

Just ordered one using my earned wellnes dollars at work. Hope I love it!

@ksmithnh you should be seeing this thread!

Awesome!! Congratulations!!

Day...made!

Seriously? A bowl of cereal is more than that! I'd be starving at 1am if I did that. :smile:

Thanks everyone! I don't have a target calories per meal but that seems to be how it works out most days. :)

Current life. Not taking chances on losing what I do love currently. :) Would you rather be homeless the rest of your life or lose your vision?

Just back for a week today but when I'm here I log every day, and check in on my newsfeed several times an hour lol I plan to be here for the long haul.

When people think fat people shouldn't wear certain things. "Gosh, nobody wants to see those fat arms, that lady shouldn't be wearing a tank top". Really? It's 100 degrees out and 90% humidity. She should cover her arms because you don't want to look at them? Grrrr

Totally me. I do okay then I get to a certain point and everyone notices and comments and I get uncomfortable and start eating my anxiety and undo it all eventually. Lather, rinse and repeat. Hoping I'll be more prepared this time around. One bonus of aging is you care less and less what other people think, lol

Carbed it up with spaghetti, meat sauce (ground beef), and garlic bread. Snack later will be homemade apple pie that hubby made today.

Starting on Monday. I started last year and quit 1/2 way through. Not sure why, because I was seeing good progress. This time I'm committing because I just signed up for 3 5K's, the first in March, the other 2 in May.

ditto, though I'm focusing on 30 at a time so I don't get too crazy over the huge number. just getting going again, and struggling to stay within daily target. Need to move my *kitten*, lol

6" honey oat, roasted chicken, no cheese, no mayo, add lettuce, spinach, cucumber, onion, tomato, green pepper, and carrots when they have them, black pepper...wrap it up! about 350 calories and quite filling. Once in a while, I add avocado if I don't want it "dry", and if really want to splurge I add "a tiny thin ribbon…

I think this thread served it's purpose for me. I vented, I got a lot of different perspectives, I've brooded, I've pondered, I've obsessed...and suddenly tonight, none of it matters. I'm back in the game, and once again don't give a care in the world what she does or does not do. I know what I must do, I know who I'm…

Maybe it is jealousy, I don't know. If I knew for sure what it was, I could likely sort it out easier. I definitely want her to have a healthier life, and I said so in my original post. It is highly unlikely we will "repair" any relationship. She happily abused her daughter and left her home alone on numerous occasions as…

Wow, thank you all for these supporting words! I have signed up for a 4 mile run next weekend that I have been contemplating not doing because I'm not as trained as I had hoped. I will complete it if I have to walk 3 miles of it and mark it as the dumpster for these feelings. She wouldn't be able to run any of it and would…

I workout after work, at or near work depending what I'm doing that day, and by the time I get home after a 20 minute drive with the windows down, I'm pretty well dry and ready to start making dinner. so I often stay in them until bedtime but wipe down with baby wipes before starting dinner. If I'm really soaked or feeling…

The older I get, the more I understand this. I've met/encountered some people with very attractive features that truly are "ugly", and it comes from the inside, NOT the outside. Seriously.
