:happy: That is so awesome! I can't wait until I reach that milestone. I know you must be beaming inside! Congrats and let us know when you get those running shoes!! Cheers!!:drinker:

Bump.

I have an XL Glider (similar to a Gazelle) that I purchased from QVC years ago. I LOVE it. It gives you a really good workout (I tend to bend my knees slightly so I really get a good burn in my thighs) without being hard on your joints. Plus, it folds up which helps with storage. :happy:

Bump :bigsmile:

You're so amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your inspirational story. Congrats. :flowerforyou:

You are a true inspiration. Thank you so much for this story. I, too, am interested in the type of exercises you do. Thanks for sharing. CONGRATS!!!! :drinker:

CHALLENGE START: 214 CHALLENGE GOAL: 190 ULTIMATE GOAL: 150 TODAY'S WEIGH IN: 215.5 GAINED 1.5!!!!:huh:

God, do I understand how you feel!!! I have been agonizing over the past month as to why I cannot get my scale to stop fluctuating between the 7 - 10lbs. lost mark. But after reading Bank's "Expectations" post, I realize I am not going to be in this rut forever. I can see a little difference in how my clothes fit so that…

Bump.:wink:

I'm in!! My body seems to be rebelling against any weight loss (I have been hovering at 10lbs. lost for about 3 weeks now; think my blood pressure meds have something to do with that). Anyways, hopefully I can get it kicked into gear and show a significant improvement by Labor Day. CHALLENGE START: 214 CHALLENGE GOAL: 190…

:bigsmile: Bump.

CHALLENGE START: 219 LAST WEEK: 217 THIS WEEK: 216 CHALLENGE GOAL: 205 LOSS/GAIN FOR WEEK: -1 LB :huh:

Good point - I never thought of that. I did just start medication and never thought of what effects it would have. You're the best, Banks! Thanks!!!!!!! :love:

Thanks for the feedback, Banks. Gives me something to start with. :flowerforyou:

Banks, I had to read this again because I am completely frustrated! Totally stuck in a rut. Been very good with my food intake (always below my daily goals), drink TONS of water, and have increased my workouts to 6 days a week on the XL Glider (20-30 minutes each time). Working up a killer sweat every day but GAINED a…

Don't be so hard on yourself!!!!! EVERYONE has those days and if they tell you they don't they are lying! I know exactly how you feel. I did the same thing last week. For three days straight I totally pigged out, ate everything I wanted (nothing healthy, of course), and drank WAY too many cocktails for my own good. Not…

:grumble: Don't know what's going on....I HOPE that I am gaining muscle mass because I have been very good AND I have been working out like a maniac on the XL Glider. CHALLENGE START: 219 LAST WEEK: 216 THIS WEEK: 217 CHALLENGE GOAL: 205 LOSS/GAIN FOR WEEK: +1 LB!! :sad:

BUMP! :wink:

:flowerforyou: Just wanted to bump my lifeline up a bit. This is truly a lifesaver, Banks!

:happy: Yippee! The dam finally broke and the water is gone!!!! I was getting SO discouraged. Unfortunately, I go TOO discouraged and had a few really bad days. I ate lots of fattening foods and had WAY too many cocktails with an old friend. Not good for the dieter in me, but sometimes I think you need to indulge. Anyways,…

I think I am in a Phase 2 rut! What a bummer! I have only been in the program for 3 weeks (entering my fourth) and my total weight loss has been 5 pounds. I have not lost a single pound in two weeks and I've been exceptionally good. I have done extra working out and have even been under calories. My only hope is that I can…

What a bummer! I have not lost a single pound in two weeks and I've been exceptionally good. I have done extra working out and have even been under calories. My only hope is that I can attribute this lack of progress to water retention (thanks to my monthly cycle). Nonetheless, I am very discouraged and I may have to…

Thank you so much, Banks! I cannot tell you how much better I feel after reading this. :flowerforyou:

I'm in too! Today will mark the beginning of Week 3 of my "new life" and although I have a good 70lbs. that I want to lose when it's all said and done with, I love the idea of setting a short-term goal for Memorial Day. Fantastic idea! :drinker: Program Start Weight: 224 Current Weight: 219 Ultimate Goal Weight: 155…

This chicken salad sounds AWESOME! I am always looking for new chicken recipes because I detest seafood. Anything you guys can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks!:tongue:

Hi everyone. My name is Jenn and I am brand new to the myfitnesspal community. I am a 34-year old single mom, a lifetime resident of a suburb of Pittsburgh, PA, and I am trying to get myself back to my pre-baby weight. I gained 70 lbs. with my son and I haven't dropped an ounce since his birth just over three years ago!…

Those are awesome. Thank you so much!
