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…

Check out Craig's List for a treadmill or eliptical you could get at a great price--that would help to have one there to use after the kids are in bed or even while they watch tv or eat :)

Low fat honey graham crackers--one will take my sweet tooth away :)

I could have written your post myself. I have a very similar story and in my mind I am a skinny girl still. Unfortunately, I realized I couldn’t climb stairs without breathing heavily and having my heart beat fast. I had no get up and go to do the things I used to enjoy. I am trying to look at this as a lifestyle change…

If you don't buy the apple cider vinegar with "mother" in it--it will not do what you are wanting. Make sure it is reddish and has "mother".

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…
