That is fantastic and a great NSV!!!

I would bump yourself up now especially if you walk everywhere.

Definitely log everything good or bad log it all. Also, I dont worry too much from sugar coming from fruit. You and I both know that sugar in fruit is good for you whereas sugar in a cookie is bad sugar.

bump would love the info too as I am thinking about starting c25k too

I have been trying to do the same thing. What I have come up with is maybe the first time you go get a spot in the back so that nobody is behind you so only the people along side you can see what you are doing. Also, something that might help is to pick some beginners classes. I know my gym offers a beginners zumba so I…

kiwi actually has more potassium than bannanas

cheese any kind I love it and it helps me get to my calorie goal.

My husband and I are going for about a 2 hour bike ride (about 16 miles) this evening as the weather is FANTASTIC and the town we live in has a great paved trail system.

Terrible to say that I actually tried this too but for only 3 days and I felt HORRIBLE all 3 days. I actually only made it halfway through day 2 before I caved and started eating normally again. I would not recom. this to anyone.

Love the pic with you holding your old fat jeans!!!! Congrats

I too wonder how I got to this point and what I have come up with is EXCUSES. You name it I had an excuse for it. I used my having 5 foot surgeries as an excuse for a large part of my life. But I have taken control trying my hardest to not make excuses. April has not been a good month for me in the excuse department.

Look up what your TDEE is here is the website to calculate your TDEE - 20%. Also eating calorie dense foods like cheese, peanut butter, avacados might help get you to your calorie goal. http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator

I can not do a cheat day because then I loose all will power and the next several days are "cheat days" I have found that allowing myslef the things I want on a daily basis in moderation this works best for me. Typically cheat days you would eat the amount of calories as if you were maintaining your weight.

What I am doing and its working is a 20% cut from TDEE. I have about 60 pounds also to loose.

I always weigh before and I weigh everything now. I noticed that I would always try to cram in extra food if I used measuring cups/measuring spoons.

Jillian Michaels "Slim for Life" basically the whole book is how to loose weight the right way and keep it off for the rest of your life.

Thats a huge drop in your A1c!!!!! congrats!!!

Thanks for posting!!!! I am glad finally someone has said this!

It is not bad unless you are having other symptoms such as being light headed, dizzy, feel really tired. If not just a sign that you are pretty healthy and your heart doesnt have to beat fast to keep up with your body.

eat more to lose weight!!! Best advice I have been given thus far and it works! I have lost about 15 pounds doing this since I hit a stall

add foods that are high in protein and fiber, this should help and maybe eat your excerise calories back too if you have not been doing it already.

Just drink it whenever you want. Also, drink enough water until your urine is a very light almost colorless color. When your pee is this color you know you are drinking enough for proper kidney function.

Healthy choice makes some frozen greek yogurt. What I really like about it is that its in individual containers which are only 100 calories. I like this because then I am not tempted to eat more.

I am a big fan of dove chocolates. My favorites are dove dark chocolate (only 42 calories per piece) and dove milk chocolate with carmel (only 40 calories per piece)

Here lately I have been trying not to restrict what foods that I want to eat. I have done this in the past and then failed miserably. Presently I am really working on portion control and counting calories. So if I want the chocolate then I will go ahead and eat it as long as I stay within portion control and I can fit it…

First 5k and you finished 2nd in your wave...I would say that this is FANTASTIC!!!! Congrats

Definitely you need to add more calorie dense food, avocados, nuts, peanut butter, full fat dressing with veggies, potatoes, oatmeal. Maybe even indulge in something sweet every now and again. Some snack ideas would be apple with peanut butter, guacomole with chips, oatmeal with peanut butter and maybe some chocolate…

You are not short you are veritically challenged. I am only right at 5 feet. I dont let it bother me then only thing that I hate is when people use me as a arm rest when walking. And if that is truelly a picture of you as your profile pic your legs look pretty good. Dont let people bother you, focus on you and not everyone…

I have the nike air max and I LOVE them. They are pricey but super comfortable and supporative. This is coming from a girl who has had 5 foot surgeries on my left foot and its almost impossible to find shoes that work.

My first goal is to be under 200 pounds and then I will get a manicure and pedicure. I am really trying to stay away from rewards involving food because lets face it thats what got me here in the first place.
