  • My aunt said to me before my sister's wedding, "If you gain any more weight, I'm going to disown you." I weidghed 25 pounds less then that I do now and I have lost 50 pounds. I told her wtih tears in my eyes to "go to hell." Only time I've ever said that to anyone and I still feel bad for saying it.
  • The statement is too black and white--there is rarely a question that can be answered so firmly. I agree with all of you that say there are many factors that go into "looking good". I would say that a combination of cardio and weight lifting is the way to go. I have set a goal for myself that I will introduce weight…
  • Glad to find this thread as I've been having this issue for 2 months. It is only one foot--my left and it feels like I'm standing on burning coals about 20 to 30 minutes into the elipitcal or similar machine. I bought new shoes, special ftted shoes to boot, loosened the laces and try different socks. It's funny but certain…

I am trying to look at this as a lifestyle change…

  • I love Cascadian Farms honey oat granola with skim milk. It has a great amount of sweetness :)
  • I agree with you-it keeps me accountable :)
  • I agree with you! It keeps me accountable :)
  • If you are at your weight goal and feel good about this being a lifestyle now--you are probably ok. Everything I have read says to change your lifestly with food and to be healthy requires logging. My daughter has quit logging and I can tell. She isn't keeping track of her calories and is eating things she shouldn't be…
  • That was me yesterday and today. I had to take folks out to dinner for a work function and I just could not order the grilled chicken and salad. I wanted to eat anything and everything. I logged every bad calorie and on top of that didn't exercise yesterday either. Today, I had to make myself go to the gym but I am so glad…
