Have you considered water aerobics? or routines on a trampoline? I hear there are some nice You Tube videos.

About a week ago, my neighbor across the street came over and wanted to know EVERYTHING I am doing to lose weight. The day before my dry cleaner asked that I write everything down that I am doing because 'I look so great.' The neighbor couldn't believe I would tell her everything. Lol.

A friend refers to them a butt floss. Lol. Again, I'll wait another 50 pounds or so. ;)

Thank you all. I might just buy one of each. And as for the thongs, I'll just wait to fit into the ones I already own.

Thanks, I live less than a mile from a Khols

LMAO. I'm about 55 pounds away from wearing a thong.

Thank you all. I have been anxious to fit into my size 14s. I just have to be grateful for the additional 1/2 pound I have lost. I weigh myself everyday, but almost never measure myself. As of today, I am 1 inch less here and 2 inches less there. So eventually it will all come together.

I had not realized how my gaining weight affected my shoe comfort. It has been so long that I have fit into my 3 inch heels. I thought I had stopped wearing them because of a knee injury. Not so, my feet got fat with the rest of me. Well now that I could fit in my pretty high heels, I am not sure I want to add stress to my…

This is absolutely amazing, you have no idea how much you helped me. This puts a few more pieces of the puzzle together - I have GERD and do not produce enough acid which results in my body not absorbing nutrients. I was prescribed and am taking medicine which is known to affect the liver. I used to have a blood test every…

I am taking a B12 vitamin in the morning and another noon(ish). This has prevented me from feeling tired all the time. I agree with the sodium. I drink chicken broth 2x a day. One at 11am and one at 3pm. Let us know if this works for you. I wish you well.

Thank you. This is perfect!

My biggest obstacle is putting other's needs, wants, desires before my own. I don't get angry often enough. So, now I'm angry. I am angry at myself for allowing it to happen. As a result of being angry, I have lost 45 pounds and conversations have switched from "Here, I bought this huge (fill in the blank) for us to enjoy"…

That's hilarious ! But seriously, sometimes I spend more on fruit and vegetables than meat. It just doesn't seem right.

Thanks. I bought it.

Ok, so I was trying to be funny. Now I wish there was a delete button. Lol

This sounds horrible. I am so sorry to hear about your working conditions. Document all actions, save all nasty e-mails. For your self-esteem, start looking for a new job. Exercise is a big boost for emotional well-being.

Great link. Thanks.

Thanks for mentioning it. Jonathan is still $20 and sold on Amazon. I use Paul Mitchell Skinny products. It makes hair shine and manageable.

My Ah Ha moment came when I realized there was and end in sight for completing a doctorate in education. I successfully defended my dissertation on August 8th. I have lost 43 pounds so far and I will participate in the graduation ceremony at the end of October.

Thank you both for responding. Every little bit helps.

When choosing a school for your child, look very closely at their nutrition plan for lunch and their nutrition education. Being aware is the first step. There is a great deal of support and information on this site. I wish you well in your journey.

I really will have to adopt this attitude. Thank you for your response. I know sugar messes with my body's ability to absorb vitamins. That is reason enough!

I don't think there is any candy I don't like.

See, I keep thinking that is a better route to go. If I ever move, I don't want to lose money trying to sell a very expensive machine. Thanks for your response

My doctor told me it was borderline and not to worry about it, but I was hoping to eat preventatively.

I eat about 3 meals and 3 snacks. Typically 1 protein shake in the morning, lean meat or fish with 2 veggies for lunch, a protein shake for dinner. My snacks consists of broth in the am, broth late afternoon and a hundred calorie snack a couple of hours before bedtime. Sometimes I switch lunch with my dinner. And 1 piece…

Thank goodness I don't do Halloween. For Thinksgiving, I think I will buy some appetizer spoons and have very small portions of everything. Lol

Oh, but tomatoes do increase uric acid. I am borderline on the gout scale. Looks like I will have to find other fish soup recipes.
