I hear you and AGREE 100%.: flowerforyou:

Congrats to you . The people around you are just blind or they are big time jelous (misspelled) and wish they had the guts to do what you are doing for you self. Keep it up. Let them eat their heart out .: bigsmile:

you are right on that scale. And so many look down on you if you are heavy in any way. And I for one get tired of all the looks. So I am trying to lose and feel better for ME and no one else. So you loose the weight for you and you will be a lot happier for you. Good Luck :bigsmile:

I also just joined this past week or so. But mine is for the second time. The first time I went to a women gym and got talked into getting a fitness coach or trainer what ever. An I lost nothing. And I worked out hard for 1.50 hrs. three days a week until it started causing problems with my legs, plus work got in the way.…

Don't let your salt get too low . That can hurt just as much or worse than too much salt. You lose a lot of salt when you work out because you are sweating it out. But keep an eye on how much salt you take in.

I never have gotten any but I guess I should. I also have a pretty bad back from being bucked off a horse a couple of times and landing on my back. I was pretty young when that happened. My parents never bothered to take me to the doctor to have me checked out. They thought I could walk I was fine. I suffered years down…

I try to eat a lot of fresh fruit and Veggies. I am not a real big eater. Mainly just eat the wrong things. And I am trying to change that little at a time. I have really Cut back on the bread and wheat because I know it can really be bad for most people and so I try to eat as little wheat and bread products that I can.…

I have a very hard time on grass and tracks or soft areas because I have weak ankles and that is why I have Arth. in my right foot. Because I broke it and thought it was just another bad sprain. I didn't know that I broken my foot for like 20 years when I started having a lot of pain in the fall and winter and the Doc.…

No I am not anymore. I was too busy with raising two boys and not killing them. :heart: . They were good kids. But I just didn't seem to have time for myself over the years. My family always came first and second. What I want or needed always came last or never. Now it is time for me. I know I need to take it slow, but…

Doctors don't always know what you can do. That is WONDERFUL what you have been able to do. I know it will just take time. I just get inpatient with my self. And When my husband wants to be an *kitten* he will say I am not doing anything. But then I just close my ears to him. He gets to be a grumpy old man. And the older…

You are right about the tv but my treadmill is in the other room so I look out the window and listen to my book on my kindle. That keeps me from getting too bored. I have thought about a little tv but I really don't know where I could put it. The room is a little small with my computer desk, my rolltop desk and my…

But it is oh so hard to eat more than I want just for the calories.

I will try the incline. I have a n incline thing on my tread mill. I will do 1 or 2 incline a week, and see how that works. I don't want to cut back on the time if I can help it. But anything is worth a try. Thanks :happy: :smile:

the barbell thing I have thought about and am going to get a couple of 2.5 or 3.0 pounders to start with, and look for things I can do for my arms, because I have lost too much strength in the past 6 years, not working with heavy patients anymore. I am a C.N.A. and I haven't been working with rehab patients in the hospital…

I do know about the Wheat. And how bad it is for you or can be bad for you. I have cut way back on the bread and try not to eat much cereal except steel oats. An I know that if I am not careful I will push my self to far too fast. And I like my treadmill. I had told my husband that I wanted a treadmill. So at Christmas…

Like I said I know I need to get back to the gym but I have to wait awhile until I can. But thanks for the advice. :smile:

I do keep good shoes for walking. But I think I am just going to do the treadmill until I can go back to the Gym. And at the moment money is a factor. I do what I can do with what I have. At least I do have my treadmill. I do not like to walk around the on the sidewalks.

I have a treadmill at home. Plus I try the other but would end up going to fast and couldn't last but a couple of mins. I will try again when I join the gym again later. But for now this is what I have to work with. But Thanks for the advice. :smile:

You can also put your filet on foil put mayo on top of the whole piece and wrap the foil and put on grill. I am not a salmon eater but my father-inlaw made it that way and it was good and easy to do. Just keep an eye on it because does cook fairly fast. I almost forgot. skin side down.: smile:

I am also 220 and I just found this site. I was posting my caleries a year ago then I back off and just came back about a week ago because I wanted to keep track of my intake and hope to lose this weight that I need to loose so bad. And I just found this posting place, and there is a lot of people on here that feel the…

I have read a lot of post this evening and I have told people to add me if they like. But I am not to sure how to add people myself. I am not real good with computers. But anyhow Add me if you would like. I am 57 yrs old in a couple of weeks. A grandmother of 4 great kids. 3 that live fairly close. Only 250 miles away. But…

See all you have to do is ask and you shall receive. You go girl. I and I hope to see you on here again and again.:wink:

and you look great if that is your picture.

I am also tired of being the weight I am 220 and that is bad for me. I am a CNA and I have R,A. ( I am not going to try to spell it out). But I have trouble with my feet and so I really need to lose this weight, just like every one else. I just started back up after being off here almost a year and never knew these post…

I just need incouragment like that . sorry for the miss spelling. I can't think tonight.:smile:

Well I may not be 300 but I am 220 and that is plenty bad for me. I have just started back with mfp, and hope I can stick with it. It is hard when you are on your own. So often people with any size always feel bad in front of slimmer people. It is a shame because we all have feelings. But no matter. You want a friend to…

You can add me if you want .I live in Meridian Idaho .

I also like to record everything I eat because it lets me know if I have eaten too much or not enough. I can handle the not enough. And the too much makes me stop and think twice before eating too much.: :happy:

And you all can see how heavy I am with my youngest son at his College Grad. last summer. And yes he has to wear the sun glasses. Due to his eyes being damaged in the Army 10 years ago.

I have found that if I really need a snack between lunch and dinner I make a smoothie with 1/2 skim milk 1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt about 1/2 cup fresh fruit like strawberries blue berries, or even frozen fruit, and 1 or 2 scoops of protein mix, and some ice to make it thick. That is a real big drink and it will last you…
