Looking to lose another 22 lbs to get to my goal weight. I would like to do this by Sept. I am trying to change to a healthy overall lifestyle and not diet for a certain event ((although going on vacation is a good motivator)). I have had my ups & downs through my life, but now that I have hit a certain age, I have…

Never refer to your self as "just average", and don't wish that you were bony or skinny. Curvy is not a bad thing ;) . I know it's hard when you care for someone and they ignore you, I went through it when I was younger, and you know what... ? I was at my most fit then. I did the "only if" game with myself too, until I…

Going back Sept 2014. MIL backed out completely, so we are back to just me & hubby. NOW I am excited, we booked our flights yesterday and can book our dining soon. Still working hard to lose weight, only 8 lbs in 6 weeks, but I also know I am gaining muscle! Staying positive and persistent ... I am at least leading a…

The 'cart of shame" should be some kind of motivation!!! LOL! A couple of weeks shouldn't make too much of a difference. I know what it's like to not have the support around you, but you have to focus on what you want for you. If this race is something you have always wanted to FINISH, keep that thought in the front of…

Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, Lady and the Tramp .... I could go on. Oh and are we including Pixar? All of the Toy Story movies are my fav's as far as Pixar is concerned. Like you, I love them all, But these are the ones that really have my heart. :heart:

Good to know tapdance66! I have been trying to get into running, but I am experiencing some setbacks with hip pain. Also, my husband is not into running, and actually a little against it. He is more into walking. If I can get him to the 16 min mile we would be able to participate together ( I am still going to try to work…

"Nothing ever goes away" Barry Commoner Reaching your goal weight does not mean never having to worry about bad habits and weight gain creeping back in. We need to take one day at a time and focus on living a healthy LIFESTYLE. Maintaining weight loss is often times more difficult than losing the weight was. Temptation is…

"We distinguish the excellent man from the common man by saying the former is the one who makes great demands upon himself, and the latter who makes no demands on himself" - Jose Ortega Y Gasset Weight loss, and more common a healthy lifestyle rarely comes easy to anyone. Usually with great discomfort we have to change our…

"We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves." - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe We all from time to time believe we are eating just the right amounts of our daily allowance. When we don't lose any weight we wonder what's wrong. I thought I knew what proper portions looked like until I started measuring an weighing my food. I…

I am glad it was helpful to you Mishka0321!

Ooooo, fluffychick73 - that sounds great! I like the idea with the chocolate protein powder! I also considered the WW ice cream, but want to keep the artificial sweeteners to a minimum, I will have to check out how much is in those.

I aspire to do this one day. Right now I can't even follow the couch to 5K app., I have been getting exertion headaches - fun right? So I am doing it on my own. Shorter spurts of running with longer recovery times. I would like to talk hubby into it, but he does not have any desire to run, he is quite happy with a brisk…

I would like to have no sweets in the house, but hubby has different ideas. He was raised having dessert every night or "a little something" with coffee. Plus, he likes a piece of candy after dinner. The kicker is - he never gains weight! Unfortunately for me, if it's there - it calls to me!!! LOL! I have been trying to…

Just purchased one from EBAY, should be here on the 6th - very excited to put it to good use! :happy:

Hmmmm, this is a hard decision between MK & EPCOT. What made me decide on Magic Kingdom is the fact that I cry at the first sight of Main Street USA! I have to say EPCOT is a VERY close second. As much as I love these two parks, my favorite ride is in HS - Tower of Terror! Just love the rush of the freefall and giggle…

I definitely need to be more active. I have a sedentary desk job, but it can be stressful, so when I get home - after I cook dinner I am in no mood for exercise. This dreadfully cold and snowy winter does not help, I prefer to walk outside than on the treadmill. I also have to watch my sweets intake - I LOVE them…

It's either going to be Sept 2014 or Nov 2014. My husband and i booked for Sept., then found out my MIL wants to go back with us. She does not like the heat and loves the Christmas decorations. We are still waiting for her to decide... We were there Sept 2013 for my 40th birthday. I did not like how I looked in a lot of…
