I am probably the slowest runner lol I just started jogging... and I mean I haven't mastered a full mile yet. lol I am at 15 min walk/jog for a mile... but that's a LARGE improvement from an hour walking. Ill get there! I hope to do a 5k at some point... its on my list of YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS!.... As for MS...You are…

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing and showing those of us still heading towards that mark that it CAN be done!

We are already pals :)) I am there with ya!!! Started with a HW: 335 Started MFP at 299.3 and now 61 days in Im at 274... Getting there... one day, sometimes one meal at a time!!!

Ha... and any "boy" who worries about if a girl will sleep with him or not... needs to grow up. Life has FAR more important things than sex.

I started out with a variety by using lean cuisine meals. This helped me two ways, calories and portion control. I then was able to work outwards fromt that and create satisfying meals. You can buy 35 cal bread and have a sandwhich with some popped chips for a sandwhich day, or a salad with a grilled chicken breast. Make…

Awesome! Congrats!!! Inspiring!

The Fitbit flex is waterproof and you can wear it in salt water also. It is safe to 30meters. It does not track swimming however. but I still love mine!

Thank you for sharing your story! I think each persons success depends on their commitment for sure. Rules aren't always what works for everybody, sometimes you just have to break them! You have truly inspired me as well as others by sharing!

What an excellent motivation!! I know with great determination you will succeed, surpass and have a great story at the end! Best Wishes!!! Jenna

Thank you for all the advice :) Was greatly appreciated! If I can find this post... Ill check back in a month or so... or feel free to add me :) Jenna

Agreed that calories will change as I do. I will look into a scale ASAP. Right now I have been buying individually frozen meats to be closer to measurement. That seems to help some. But I would cerainly like to improve accuracy. I also just got a HRM and in a few months will upgrade to one that has a band. Small steps.

Thank you and I too am sorry for your loss, it is a rough pill to swallow. It varies from 1 to 2 pounds a week. When I was on the B12 shots and Adipex I lost NOTHING. lol... I started this trek on November 18... I am 50 days in and have lost 22 lbs. Now most of it, the first 12 were in the first week and a half. Then it…

I am on a 1200 calorie diet per my doctors advice. I do not get much active time during the day. My only active time really is when I get off work and hit the gym. I am tied to a desk most days. When I started I was on 1400 and did not see much change so we adjusted to 1200. I am 40 (till Friday) and started out at 299.3…

Thanks for your input. Did not really answer my question... ok not at all, but thanks the same. Everyone has a different opinion on supplements and that is ok. My Dr. prescribed me Adipex and B12 shots, I did both for a month and saw zero change on the scale but did see some inches lost. I have changed my eating habits and…

Yeah!! I finally found the Alabama group!!! My name is Jenna I live in Trinity Alabama just outside of Decatur and Huntsville. I am 40 years old (till next week) and on a mission! Looking for like minded people who are about getting healthy and enjoying life. I have been over weight most of my adult life and I am looking…

I just got 14 pills to try ACE....how often do you take it? There weren't any instructions :-( Thx!

To continue logging my food using MFP (good or bad) and get a greater understanding of what different types of meals have on my energy/fitness level. I fully intend to continue losing weight and add endurance to my workouts.

Ok, ok thanks for answering..... I need something that fills my I WANT CHIPS craving! I am a salt/crunch girl, not a sugar one... lol

What is a quest bar?

I will add you :) I was always skinny Minnie as a child. I started gaining weight in high school and in 1990 I hurt my back, that led to less activity and then add to that I had a crappy relationship which brought depression I am told lol. I ate to feel better, I ate to feel bad,, I ate to live, I ate to sleep, I ate ate…

Well... I am not getting married, I am not going to be in a wedding and I am not even dating... lol but I am on a weight loss journey and I am looking for MFP friends! lol.

Hi there, I am about to start week 3 on here. I am just now finding the forums lol. I too, am looking for motivating friends. I don't know how to add, but feel free to add me! Jenna
