My sister used WW and lost a lot of weight with it! Good for you!

Sorry I sent another request! Doh!

You can always use the palm of your hand as a portion size. Drink a glass of water before meals. I sometimes think I'm hungry and it turns out I'm thirsty. Try to work out every day and use that to replace your feelings rather than food. It's hard I know. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I think it's normal what we are all going through. We will always carry the grief, we just have to learn how to deal with it. Kim

Good for you!

That's a good idea. Today was a day where I wanted to quit half way through. I didn't and I'm so glad I didn't. I was just so tired this morning. I think I should have just rested. I'm thinking I'm just a little tired and need the rest.

Awesome! It looks so cold in your pic!

That's a good way to look at it and it's how I'm trying to view things. The difference is that people like Liz and I have few memories with our babies. It makes it a little harder I think. We just have to get up each day and take a step forward and do it in honor of our children and know that we will be with them one day.

I agree with 3rdwoozie. You need to vary your workouts for your body and mind. I get bored so I switch them up every 2-3 months and sometimes I do something different if I don't feel motivated. It usually works.

I did like P90X, but I didn't like how long the workouts are! I stick to the shorter ones now (T25, P90X3, and hopefully I will like the new 21 Day Fix). I am keeping myself in shape and working out 30 minutes a day! I cheated too! I had a slice of pizza.

Welcome Rosy. I feel as though it's good to be around others who get what you are going through and we are all using fitness as a way to deal with our grief. I'm hoping we can help each other.

Oh wow Crystal! I'm so very sorry for your loss, but glad you are here for your kids! I am happy you are here!

Definitely read the book. My husband has seen the movie (Luttrell makes a few appearances) and it's different from the book.

I meant being closer to my daughter in heaven. I feel closer to her here in the state she was born. My other daughter is 3. My dad did the same thing. He left the state because his wife wanted to move and he is really regretting it. He has no one in that state but her and she has been sick with various ailments for…

I was angry with God for a long time too, but I also know it wasn't him. I know he is taking good care of my daughter. Yesterday was the one year angelversary. I woke up crying. I'm still so sad today. I'm keeping myself busy and I wake up at 5am to work out every day. I rarely if ever miss. I'm closer and closer to my…

Wow on what your Navy Seal friend said. That's crazy, but I believe it. Did you read Lone Survivor?

Oh and I'm on week 7 of the Classic. I enjoy the program! Before this I did T25 and I loved it!

I would love to do one of those mud runs. That's something I've been thinking about. We may be moving this summer though so I need to figure that out first.

Wow Woozie! I'm impressed!

Please introduce yourself!

I'm so very sorry Kachina. I'm happy to hear about your pending nuptials. You have something nice to look forward to.

Sorry to hear about your daughter. I think I've learned it is hard no matter if it's a year or 20 years.

Oh my gtdattitude. I'm so very sorry.

I obviously don't know how to use the reply button. That last message was for 3rdwoozie :)

Oh man, I'm so very sorry to hear about your son. I agree that grief is different from person to person. I never miss a work out because I need it to get through the day. I totally get why you do what you do. Do you do marathons or other competition type things?

Thank you for sharing your stories. I'm so very sorry. I lost my daughter almost a year ago and it's so hard to lose a child! I have found working out to fill up my patience bank and help me get through the days. I'm always in a better mood if I work out.
