ha! you're so right :wink:

Now THAT comment is FLAT OUT rude!!! (gah!) you know to all the ladies who have ever been told or asked this-- just remember, it's people and their own perceptions. just as a courtesy or rule of etiquette-- you should never assume anything about anyone! period.

not to mention the person who wrote this comment has a profile photo that talks about striving for progress and NOT perfection. seems hypocritical! am I right? Do whatever you wish..anything you want badly enough, can be achieved. it just takes focus and commitment.:happy:

Wow! you look AMAZING!...you don't even look like the same person! I would not recognize you on the street if someone showed me the 'before' pic and asked me to point you out. Great job :) you both have made wonderful life changes! It's always nice to read other's success stories! thanks for sharing :)

I think if you really want to have any hope of a healthy relationship... it's time to consider some counseling as a couple and also as individuals. I say this with sincere honesty and your best interests in mind. It really can help... On another note, I often find that it is true that others only say things that reflect…

I'm with you.. health and firmness before a weight number. I'm 5' 10".. currently teetering between 229-230 and I wear a size 18 (although this is finally starting to feel loose ;) I'm a pear shape, but carry the bulk of my weight in my waist (and having a baby added to that)... For me, my ideal body would be that of a pro…

Could it be the flax seeds? or the brand /type of oats? I only use Chia seeds...the recipes here are good, although too much fruit is used (in my opinion!) so just adapt them to be healthier in your own way. using this base formula-- they come out great, every time! http://www.theyummylife.com/Refrigerator_Oatmeal if its…

First and foremost.. take a deep breath, and relax. ;) this is an exciting and happy time! I only gained about 15 lbs for most of my pregnancy.. it shot up to 22 lbs towards the end, as my baby grew. I am not a small person to begin with, I was already plus size/trying to lose weight, making life changes, and trying to…

Honestly, you can eat a lot of processed food and still lose weight, thanks to MFP and tracking calories. I did that after the birth of my son, and I lost 20 lbs or so, just doing that alone. Now i'm taking things a step further, and getting on the right track. Eating healthy.. and it's working. I never feel hungry-- just…

Great Job! What a difference!..and yes, Adorable baby!

44 lbs in 2 months? what's your secret?? LOL Great job, though.. seriously!!! if you're bored, why not try something new? (in terms of athletics)..and if it is food that bores you.. why not try a healthy cooking class... expand your palate and get some great new food ideas ;)

I've always felt that the standard was a bit too generic-- as every person has a unique stride. So as you say, one person's 10K steps will not be 5 miles, but another's may very well be... I think it's more important to simply be meeting your own personal goals.. and making new ones. so you do 10K a day now..but maybe in 2…

My husband and I both have the older version of this one... and we LOVE it! http://www.amazon.com/Omron-HJ-112-Digital-Pocket-Pedometer/dp/B0000U1OCI The batteries seem to last a long time too.. it also keeps a 7 day memory, so you can always go back and compare kcals or mileage to up to 7 days previous.

I agree..i don't think you should avoid any particular fruits. Perhaps the key is really 'moderation'.. especially where fruits that are high on the glycemic index are concerned. There are those that are of the belief that too much sugar (yes, even 'natural' sugar), can lead the body to insulin resistance... because if you…

Things/ Items do not mean the most... it is the happiness that comes from experiences that you share with your family... that you will always remember. Money can't buy those. Perhaps there is a thoughtful gift you could make to commemorate why they are so special to your life. It doesn't have to be serious.. it could be…

I personally had success with CDs in the past. It's not that it miraculously made weight loss happen.. but it helped me to be more relaxed, and more conscious of what I was eating..and that was the 'miraculous' thing about it.. Most(not all) people overeat because they are either A.) Really Nervous B.) it has become an…

sorry for the double reply-- I was a little to fast on the button :)

Congrats! :) I believe I knew the 170s too in HS (must have had a bad break up with them because I haven't seen them in a long while. LOL) .. I've got a ways to go yet to get back there.. my LTG is similar to yours..Glad to see someone else making their goals happen :). Best of luck in the rest of your journey :)

I saw this 'article' this morning, so .. I thought I would share. I'm not one to believe there is an exact science behind this because every body is different and we all change different based on exercise and nutrition.. but in any case, please read for yourself. :)…

I loved all the stories from the 'Joy Fit Club'... (all 48 of them! yes, it WAS slow at work yesterday :)... thanks for sharing this! their stories are all beautiful and very inspiring!!
-
I nearly blew away on my lunchtime power walk (no joke. 30-45mph gusts in the N.E. today! . LOL hopefully the 'extra resistence' worked to my advantage :)... i'll be free stepping tonight... and then i'll be sleeping really well soon after :) bethgames- great! see you were worried, but you're fine. sometimes it's good to…

Awesome! great workouts, everyone... keep it up :) 50 minutes does seem like a lot (ok it is. LOL).. My blood was definitely moving for a good half hour after i stopped... but I can tell you it was so worth working up to it. I used to get so out of breath walking up the eons of stairs from the platform of my daily train--…

Thanks for the 411 on the Wii Fit PLUS. i was wondering A) when it was coming out... B.) if it was worth upgrading to. I'll probably check it out, just based on what i'm reading. Every little bit of extra motivation counts :) One thing i've learned in this whole process.. is to simply love yourself. don't give up if you…
-
Ok, I too am curious-- what is this jack knife challenge that is being spoken of? I would like to try that one out :) ... btw is anyone else with me in thinking that Nintendo is missing a huge market for the wii fit???? As in a DANCE game. just straight dance(no dance dance revolution. i mean freeform) To get an idea of…

I think i got too overly ambitious yesterday, ladies..... LOL. I did 30 min of the balance games (basically each game x 2).. and then decided to do a 30 minute session of free step with 1 lb hand weights. 3218 steps later, and the next day-- my back is 'feelin' it.. aka. i'm sore. . LOL :laugh: I would have had more steps…
-
count me in!!!! i've had my FIT for about a year-- and its really mad at me for not showing up as often as i should be! LOL. it likes to make snide little comments when i do show up now. ...LOL. I love the free step== because i can still watch tv :) I just bought the riser. (not quite on that level yet) but once i get into…

Sticking to perimeters of the store is correct, but i'd also like to add, that finding a store that carries a strong 'natural' food aisle is also a good plan of operation. Many major food markets are starting to wake up and realize the potential for natural food products-- and when you go to those products and read the…
-
Yes. this is absolutely a great approach to lifestyle changes :) it tackles the emotional -- not just the physical. I would liken this to the difference between conventional medicine and alternative medicine. "Dieting' just addresses the symptom, but not the overall issue. As where conscious eating, EFT, and learning to…

yay~ Finally :) well i have faith, ms janae. YOU CAN DO IT :) *heart* --can you believe it's going on 17 years that we've known each other! that's insane :)
