I agree that a 1200 calorie plan can work. That is my target daily calorie goal, and when I exercise I generally try to eat a bit more. Occasionally, I go a bit over, but as a rule, I find it pretty easy to stick to. I have lost 38.6 pounds in about 3 1/2 months, so it is working for me as well. Everyone's body is…

Don, you know how brave and inspiring I think you are already, and I know this took a lot of courage for you to put it out there. Please know that by fighting every day, you are not only helping yourself become a healthier and happier person, but you are also helping so many others out there who have not come to a point…

I see quite a difference in your pics, especially in your chest/midsection. Great job, try not to get too discouraged. I have lost 200+ pounds and look in the mirror and still don't see what I thought I would see. In the end, it will all be worth it! Good luck!

Marty, sad but so true, and I am still wishing for the day when I am invisible...and you words have made me really think. Thank you, and congratulations on all you have accomplished. Being noticed with a smile must be an amazing feeling after all you have been through. (hugs)

Satisfy my sudden sweet tooth with fruit instead of cookies~!

Hey Peeps, and I don't mean the sugary, marshmallow kind! Good to see someone holding down the fort! Work...on disability right now but hoping to change that soon...so more days 'off' than I like! Healthy food, STRAWBERRIES!!! I would live off of them! Unhealthy food, homemade bread, I could also live off of it! Fave…

Do I hear crickets? LOL Sorry it is so quiet, people just aren't catching on to this who group thing! For myself, so sorry I have been MIA, dealing with some health issues (nothing serious, just making it hard to get back here) and life has been busier than usual. Hope everyone is doing well! I will see if I can think up…

I survived baking the Big Soft Ginger Cookies without eating them all! Yay! I had two, some are in the freezer and the rest are packed and ready to go with friends who will be here tomorrow. My, but the kitchen smelled awesome!

So true, a 'bad' day is over for me when the next day starts and I just try to keep the past in the past. Marsha, (hugs) If you ever want to talk you know where I am. Lots happening in your life and sometimes it is just a bit harder to get refocused. Just don't give up!!!

Joanne, thanks, what a sweet thing to say. Unfortunately, I don't really have a 'home' at the moment. As you know, while moving from Alaska to here was the plan, it wasn't in the plan for it to happen the way it did. I am still waiting for a court battle with the mortgage company (GMAC, robosigners, lawsuits from…

Hi Caz, glad you could join us!

Mar, Kerri, welcome to the group!

Your muscles need time to rest as well. As the others have said, listen to your body. I was doing cardio and strength at PT 2 days a week, and then home workouts 3 days. It is best with where you are starting weight wise to build up to stronger workouts. If you don't give your body time to rest in between you will likely…

Welcome, Bev, welcome Leah, so glad to see you here! Bev, it sounds like you are really motivated this time, wishing you the best! Leah, I'm in MA as well, just moved back after being away for 25 years. Thanks for joining us!

Joanne, what a beautiful analogy. ♥ Also, glad the girls are happy, lol. I refuse to buy anything else at the size I am now, but at the same time I am trying to recover from the disastrous marriage. I left with pretty much nothing, just to get out. Waiting on the house stuff to be resolved, but even if we win in court it…

Thanks Joanne, it was sooooo good! I use tiny pic, but couldn't get the IMG code for forums and message boards to work here. Instead, I use the Direct Link for Layouts code and wrap it. Type bracket [, then img, then bracket ]. Then, add the direct link for layouts code. Then, bracket [, forward slash /, the img, then…

Snow has given way to rain here...lots and lots of rain...but it isn't snow, so I won't complain! Hope spring finds Wisconsin soon! lol

Very had not to let tears fall reading all of your stories. I am so sorry for all of the losses and sadness you have all endured, and happy for the joys that have hopefully made the losses a little less difficult to endure. (((CC&C Family)))
