It is and it WAS great...how do you think I got to be a fatty, lol!

Had this conversation with my mother in law last night. She cooks dinner for us every Sunday night. Her dinners consist of home made dumplings, chicken, homemade mac n cheese, green beans with fat back and bacon, baked pineapple, biscuits, and maybe another veggie. Now, when I was my old self I would eat all of it and go…

I do a 10 min special k workout video. It has 4 different workouts on the video and I love it. You have to be really into it to burn a lot of calories in just 10 minutes but it definitely is a good work out for us busy folk:)

That is what I had for breakfast today and I love the banana nut too!

Same here...then I would feel extremely guilty...so now I give all the cake away after the parties! Let someone else get fat off of it cuz it isn't gonna be me. I also love pizza I could eat almost a whole frozen pizza by myself:blushing:

:bigsmile: too funny!

I have a New Balance N4 and it was $69.99 and comes with a chest strap. Walmart has them for like $27 but they are no name and they look cheap and don't come with a chest strap.

For people who can't afford to go to the gym or just don't feel comfortable going to the gym I think work out dvds are awesome. I myself use 3 or 4 different ones on a regular basis and I love them. They have been giving me some great results! Just my opinion though.

I started out at 308 and I am now down to 294. I have a long road ahead of me but I am definitely in the same boat:)

I do it the same way you do and it keeps me on track!

The dial definitely works well!

It took mine at least a month to heal. You just really have to be aware of it. Like when you wash your hair you should try not to get too much shampoo suds on it and try to keep your hair out of it. But, also some people just can't have it. My friend tried it a few different times and she always got that lump and had to…

I would love to look like Kloe Kardashian, because to some she may be big, but she is tall and beautiful and I am tall and I would love to have her body cuz it is way smaller than mine! I would also love here shoe collection too:)

3-5 lbs

You are so not alone! I obsess over having a bad eating day too. I feel so guilty and my husband gets pretty annoyed too! But, for people that have never had a weight problem (like my skinny husband) don't understand this. But, I have noticed the support I get from my MFP friends really helps me to not beat myself up over…

You look great!

Wow...He was also in the "Butterfly Effect"...Love him! What an amazing transformation and inspiration. He looks so different! Thanks for the post I had no idea he had lost weight!

It worked really good for me. I lost 60 lbs the second time on it. But, I have joined and quit 5 times. Like everything else you have to stick with it! I find it much easier to stick to watching my calorie intake and exercising. It's hard work, but it is totally worth it!

I have the same problem at my work. My co-workers eat out almost everyday and it's burgers, fried chicken, subs, fries, dairy queen (my personal fav)! I brown bag it everyday except maybe once in a while I will get a chef salad and that is only if they are nice enough to tell me they are ordering food! They think I am…

I am slowly learning about "self compassion" myself. After years of beating myself up and being in a vicious cycle with eating and weight loss I finally realized that all that guilt and down talking myself only made me do nothing about it! If that makes sense. I continued to stay fat and unhealthy until I realized that is…

Thanks logical answer...should have thought of that but didn't...thanks so much for your help!

You know I am naturally a blonde and I guess it shows...lol! I figured it would be something as simple as that, but the manual sucks and not much direction in it! I will try this tonight and hopefully no problems...thanks to everyone so much!:happy:

Thanks so much...it was definitely needed this Monday morning:)

I hope that doesn't happen to me because I just bought a new balance hrm yesterday and I haven't used it yet but I am going to later hope I don't have that problem or I will return it!

Been there, done that, and survived...glad you did too:)

Job well done...can't wait to get there myself:)

What an inspiration, you look amazing! You should be so proud of yourself! I have about 105 lbs left to lose and it seems like such a long journey...but to see the results the journey is well worth it! Good for you:flowerforyou:

I recently bought a 10 minute Special K workout dvd. It is awesome. It has 4 10 min workouts on it that include kickboxing one, full body blast, buns and thighs and I can't remember the name of the last one, but I do it before work every other day. I only have to get up 10 minutes earlier and I feel great all day until my…

I totally stress out about money too, but I have been getting a lot better about it lately. I always try to remember that God will never give me more than I can handle on my shoulders and that everything will work out some way or another! My husband has been trying to teach me to be this way ever since we first met 7 years…

I though I was the only one that chews gum when I start to feel like I am hungry...:)
