WOW!!! That had to have been a breathtaking moment...to see that!! That is soooo great..I know you've been working hard for that...I see your posts every day. Pat on the back for you!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

ME TOOOOO, I love it as well, absolutely...I'm 200% totally addicted to it and it's been a gift in keeping me motivated and focused. PS..not me in the pic...just my motivation lol

It's more important to start/maintain the "habit"...start slow and comfortable...don't overdo it or plan too much for yourself...or you'll be sore, and not exercise for days because you're sore, then you'll dread it...and end up just stopping. When I started, I just did the treadmill at a comfortable pace..just some faster…

I'm with you too!! This is all about positive support!!

I eat alot of Lean Cuisine or Smart Ones for dinner....they have lots of tasty meals...so I don't really miss anything...feel like I'm getting all my faves still.

ha ha ha I was going to say "congrats you just had 4 - 5pound babies...BUT seeing that you're a guy and that would NOT be possible...BUT you get the idea lolololol :laugh: Congrats on that 20 lb loss...that is truly amazing!! So happy for you....what commitment that is !!

I totally and completely walk at this point..I have a treadmill... It works just fine...exercise is exercise..it all burns if you are doing "something"....watch your calories carefully, get a good healthy well balanced diet...lots of water and you'll lose just fine. I've been online for 46 days or so...consistently…

<laughing> that's tooo funny!!! Spoiled little creatures huh?? I love my pooches, I call my little schnauzer... "a little boy, stuck in a dog's body"...ha ha ha ha

Oh wow, that would have SHOCKED me!!! :noway: I'm SSOOOOOO THRILLED for you..... what great inspiration to do more of that!!! YEEEEAAAAHHHH, life just keeps getting better, huh!! Cheers!! :drinker:

Welcome...if you stick with a healthy diet....you will have NO PROBLEMS with the 1200...seriously....Add in the exercise and it increases your calories...so more good quality food you can eat. Try it...you will be amazed!!

hmmm good question, I was curious too...I was going to start doing these Zumba classes!! I'll be watching for answers too :)

Oh wow, I'm so sorry for your heartache...tough hurdle. But so glad you're back......these people here on MFP are great for a smile and to boost your spirit!

actually a pretty fulfilling breakfast for those total calories!!! Will have to give this one a try...tks for sharing

Welcome....a whole new beginning for you..that is awesome. Definitely start slow...just walking works wonders..and does burn calories as long as you're getting your heartrate up. If exercise is too tramatic, you're doing to much, too quick and will likely not stick with it, because not a good memory !! :) Just do at least…

hmmmm I've never really heard too much about this..but I don't use sweeteners hardly ever..or even sugar for that matter. Was interesting though...tks for sharing!!

Wow, thanks so much for the responses.... I've never heard of a running store, or new they would do fittings etc?? (Not a professional runner obviously ;-) OK I will ck into this...tks so much!!!

OK well I'm with the guy...lololol I guess I'm old!!...****!! and haven't had a visit from "TOM" in years..... But I was like, what the heck does that stand for????? (dense, sorry!! :) I knew it had something to do with your period...but wasn't clicking. lolololol Too funny girls!!

I don't have the "woman fairy" visit me anymore...but I'm totally getting the total hungries going on....I feel like I'm having to eat constantly.....My hub says it's because I'm exercising and my metabolism it really up requiring more calories to work...which makes total sense...which is why they add those exercise…

A Toast To YOU !!! That is such a great reward for your hard work!!

oooh I'm excited...I'm going to get one of these too!!! I love gadgets and constant reminders of success. That's why I love this website so much....they even comment on how many days you log in etc....I love the constant reminders that there's more to making this work....it's commitment, new goals, timelines, new habits,…

Thank you so much for posting this.....you are truly amazing. I'm so proud of you and I can tell by your words, you are beaming. That is a lot of very very hard work what you just did..and not alot of people have the willpower and strength to make it that far...it's very easy to give up...and you have NOT..and I commend…

The misconception is...you CAN eat..and you need a healty balanced diet....dairy, meat, bread, veggies, fruit...you NEED all this daily. Just to fuel your body so that it can function and burn....you don't want to start losing muscle babe. Follow the program here, it's a lifestyle change..that will continue..and exercise.…

I'm an early morning eater tooooo.....right after shower and I'm starving!! Breakfast is my most fave meal of the day too....so it's kind of a priority for me....never had the shoe on the other foot....I've just always heard better to eat first thing...get your metabolism up and rolling for the days activities.

Yeppers, the only good thing about Diet Soda...is that it's 0 calories...kind of like cigarettes. But that's it.

ooooh I LOVE this customizer thing.......very cool.

people will do what they want I guess...don't let it bother you..not worth it. As long as you're being true to your goals and can smile honestly with your achievements, that's all that matters. I find I need to be totally accountable on here...that's the purpose....or I'm never going to reach my goal.

Oh yeah, I had forgot about this too...I couldn't remember the name...tks for sharing!!!!

I just have a treadmill...has an incline on it....Works great for me....using the incline helps to build muscle in the legs/butt....and you can adjust speed to burn more or whatever. I've had all types of machines...I like the treadmill because it allows for my moods as well...if I don't feel the best I can still get on…

Track, Track, Track...it's sooooo amazingly easy here...the majority of anything you eat is alread in this food selections...so can't be any easier. ALSO, become addicted to it....make it a priority to get it entered...and never leave anything out. You WILL be amazed...truly. Sounds as if you're doing all that hard work of…

aaah I had no idea...hadn't heard of that ha ha
