You look fantastic and have definitely inspired me to do better. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

I'm in, I need to do this.

You look fantastic. You did an awesome job and I'm so glad you feel better. The kitchen is beautiful too.

I am in!

I just joined Curves and I'm hoping it works out okay. I simply need to get moving. I might get bored with the circuit but they have a couple of sessions a week where you do a Jillian Michaels workout between machines, instead of your own thing. I think that will be an interesting component to the workout. I plan to go the…

I got rid of my gym membership and I have dvd's at home and as a student, I can utilize the gym on campus for free. If I really feel like I want to go to a class, I can pay a small fee and go to the Y and participate.

I work third shift and I often make an omelet to take to work, so yes, if it gives you a few extra minutes of sleep, or time in the shower, I sure would prepare it ahead of time. I've never had any issues as long as its kept in the fridge til use.

In 2015 I would like to lose 50-70lbs, increase my water intake, eat cleaner and run another 5k.

Hi Debbie, I'm type II as well and am working towards getting my weight down. I'm insulin resistant. Please feel free to add me as a friend.

You have lost weight in the past, so you know you can do it. If you make slow changes and not big radical changes all at once, it will be easier to ease into. Looking at your beautiful children should give you all the motivation you need to do this. I'm back trying again too, so hopefully we can encourage one another. I…

Your story could be mine, I am right there with you, not 50 yet but knocking on the door. Please feel free to add me. I think we can all use a little motivation and encouragement of one another.

Please feel free to add me. I would like to lose 50lbs as well, slow and easy, so that it stays off for good.

You might try eating dinner on a salad plate, you can fill it up and trick your brain into thinking you are eating a plate full of food. Another good trick is to eat an apple before every meal, full of fiber and works better than a glass of water. You need to come up with some things to do, before you allow yourself to…

I'd like to lose 15-20 by Christmas, gained a little on vacation. I'm in.

As a teen I worked a summer job in the cemetery where my Dad was foreman. Many times there were those running. The terrain is perfect with the many hills and different directions. I never considered it disrespectful at all, to each his own. The more activity in the cemetery the less concern of vandalism to the headstones…

This is awesome and very inspiring, you look great!

Just completed my ACLS update and did some CPR on the dummy, but as a critical care nurse, I do a lot of CPR and running codes. It is hard work, mentally and physically. I would suggest an HRM, because that is about the only way you will get an accurate measurement of cals burned. CPR is an awesome upper body workout.…
