Awesome! Congratulations. The dress looks great.

This is probably a given, but make sure you have a good pair of running shoes. I have tried running in the past and hated it. Bought a pair of Asics and my mp3 player and sort-of like it now (it's not my workout of choice but it's much better). I don't get shin splints and I'm not nearly as sore as before. I ran my first…

Hi Jenn, I'm not who you are looking for but I wanted to wish you luck. My aunt had the surgery about a month ago and looks GREAT! She is off five different medications now as a result of her dropped weight also. The surgery was the motivation she needed to keep her diet (diet=healthy eating) in check. I hope you will find…

This sounds great. I will have to try them for my 4yo son as well. I'm always on a quest for a better breakfast for him too. Maybe the "cookie" name will help *lol* Thanks for sharing.

hmmm No dogs here.. I wonder how much for a cup of Iams cat food. :laugh:

Curious George all the way. Both mommy and the 3 year old stop to watch LOL Thomas is another huge hit around here. I love the Charlie and Lola books but haven't caught the show at all. I will have to keep an eye out for it.

Looks yummy. May have to try it on a day with 300 extra calories LOL :drinker: Nutrition Facts from online calorie counter...

You look fabulous! I would love to read your story. Do you have a link to the blog?

oooo if you find one, please post. I would love to have one as well.

That sounds yummy. Tagging to try later... :wink:

Greeting, Ron! You're doing an awesome job. :drinker:

A coworker did this several years ago and got ripped. Hubby did it too and lost quite a bit of weight but didn't stick with it to the ripped stage. Good luck with it. :drinker:

I teach 5th grade. I'm around the room acting like a fool other than reading groups *lol* but it probably feels much more active than it actually is. I'm like kelynn with the conservative approach.

I'm on light active. I spend a good hour and a half of my school day sitting at a table with reading groups. The rest of my day feels like active though... Depending on what grade you teach, either one would work I think. Oh and I also have a 3 1/2 yo at home that keeps me moving. :wink:

Awesome!! It must be wonderful to be on this journey together. Congrats to you both. You look great. :drinker:

No joke. Jumping is an awesome workout. I can't do it for long. kudos to you for keeping up for 23 mins :laugh: :drinker:

Hungry-girl . com Those look fantastic! I may have to go buy some cool whip and hershey's syrup. :tongue:

WOOHOO! Congrats! :happy:

I have become a big fan of ASICS. Check out their website for info on shoe fit. Skywalker~ That sounds like a great way to buy shoes. Most of the stores around me just have the boxes out to get yourself or a high school kid getting boxes from the back :happy: Who needs someone that can fit shoes anyway :wink:

That's the first thing I thought of too :laugh:

Awesome! Keep it up. I can see change too.

Just tagging in to see replies. I have been seeing the ads at the top of the page and have been curious. :drinker:

Hi Emily. I'm Sandy also from IL (southern end) I have a four year old and similar goals as well. Best wishes for your journey. :flowerforyou:

awesome! :drinker:

*Luck* :drinker:

It does get better. Once you learn the foods that are lower in calories but still filling you will find that you turn a corner. You can eat a LOT when you are eating veggies, fruits and good proteins rather than chips, cookes etc. (Not to say that's what you are eating but just for illustration's sake) Think of it like…

I really like Stin Hansen (mythoughtcoach(dot)com/) for the affirmations. You can get some of her stuff as free podcasts on iTunes. They have been a big help to me. When I find myself eating out of control I listen to a few of her meditations and it helps curb the binge.

I get it. :flowerforyou:

Yikes! I can tell I have taken the last few weeks off from working out. 1:10 here. I will try again tomorrow too. :drinker:

Just tagging in to see the answer. I have a fear of hitting maintenance. :ohwell: :tongue:
