I STILL want to be a meteorologist, working for NOAA or NWS, was terrified of some of the class requirements. Currently work in the financial world of investing/financial planning. Love it here though.

First of all, like almost all here have stated....consult your doctor to be cleared. I was 328 when I started and I have been doing cardio from day one. I felt like I was about to pass out as well, but after being cleared from doc, I realized this was just due to my weight and previous inactivity. I started walking on the…

I too am an assistant to a FA....this was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can sooooo relate to the "fees" when someone decides to w/draw from their IRA under age 59.5.........I don't care how many times or ways we try to explain that it is an IRS penalty to try to prevent people from early withdrawal, I think three…

This!!!! I was so excited the other day to find they have a new size of fry!!! Child size! I think it comes in the Happy Meal, it's 100 calories and 5 grams of fat and just enough greasy potato-ey goodness to satisfy. :bigsmile: I don't order the Happy Meal though, I order a value fry which is $1.00 and ask if they will…

Only while munching on celery, making use of the "negative calories" :bigsmile:

Can't post pics as I'm at work but there is a face picture of me at my heaviest in my profile pics. Started Aug 1st, 2011, I'll never look back. I've dieted off and on for years, but the past 10 months have been a complete change of lifestyle and building a new relationship with food and exercise and the scales are…

I had the same problem, but the doc was able to give me an anti-anflammatory to clear up inflammation. This was several years ago, even today if I find my heel starts to hurt, I'll take one and the prob is gone. Hope you get this cleared up soon....I know it's miserable!!!!!!

I was eating a whole egg, 2 whites and 1 slice of whole wheat toast for the longest time.....here lately I switched to Kashi Autumn Wheat squares, I slice a banana over it with 1/2 cup of 2% milk. This is through the roof in the sugar/carb dept but I've been eating this most mornings for over a month now and my weight loss…

Bump....REALLY hate how fast these threads move!! If nobody replies quick enough, the thread is on page 2 before you know it!

Pay cash for everything except maybe home and car. Don't go into debt overload, you would be amazed at what are wants and what are actual needs. Don't worry about the "Joneses" like the TV commercial says, they are in debt up to their eyeballs...one paycheck away from financial ruin. Your worth, success and achievement as…

My weight loss on my ticker is all from walking. Some jogging more recently, but 99% of this loss has been from walking.

SO GLAD to see some love for Community!!! Couldn't live without it! I'll take In Between Roast though. :tongue: Donut Shop or Starbucks Pike Place Roast for my Keurig OR "mykcup" with Community in it.

There is so much going on here psychologically.....he is a sick individual. If you're so "stupid" and he's so repulsed by your body, actions, intellect, etc.....have you stopped to think why he stays if he's so unhappy with you? You are none of these things!!! He needs you as his verbal and emotional and physical whipping…

I'm there with ya!! I can't believe how food actually tastes when you stop eating and drinking lab created foods!! I was a 328lb cola swigging, burger/pizza/chips/candy eating, couch sitting fool. Never did I see myself as one of "those" who said they gave it up and don't miss it....I just thought it was good will power. I…

If you can possibly stick it out, please do!!!!! I was such a Coke addict too, but when you get past the addiction and give it up for good....then taste it again, it's absolutely horrible!!!!!!! It's unreal how our tastebuds adapt to junk food and make us believe that the stuff actually tastes good!!! Good Luck!!

Paul Newman Light Balsamic Vinegar.

This!!!!

I make an old fashioned tuna salad Pouch of Starkist Chunk Light in water (smaller pouch) One tbl of Hellmans Light Mayo Hardboiled egg, chopped Onion, chopped celery, chopped black pepper, small amt of garlic powder, little sprinkle of old bay seasoning Having this today as a lunch on 2 slices of toasted whole wheat…

Wow....this one!!! I'm the same way, our marriage is our marriage, whatever issues there are, we deal with. I've been married 13 yrs and have never called my mother, sister, friends to dish the dirt on him. I put this one right back under the respect thing......I wouldn't want him calling his mom telling her every detail…

Two words: Mutual Respect It goes a long way towards making a relationship work.

I was only a week into my journey last year when we were a week at a beach house, I cooked my breakfast that I would have been eating had I been at home, made good decisions for lunch and ate what ever I wanted to for dinner. I got up early every morning and went for long walks on the beach, and swam alot. There were a lot…

It's taken a while for me to be "de-programmed" but I have learned through much research that what I thought was healthy low fat (keeping under 20 grams a day) actually has nothing to do with weight loss. I eat nuts and avacados which are both extremely high in fat by the low fat diet standards, but are both extremely…

What are you considering "low fat" what is your daily allowance set at?

I'm hesitant to post because of the whole "starvation mode" and "eating exercise calories back" debates that have raged from the inception of this site, but I wanted to answer as someone who has been there, and still doing that. I set my goal at 1200 calories daily back in August of last year and I use this as what it is,…

Raising Cane's, *sigh* love, love, love it.....but no choices other than the beloved fried strips and sauce. Oh, and that BREAD.....*BIG sigh*:sad:

I do this alot, and not just with large meals.....I'll build my day around a small splurge, like a Jr Arby's sandwich on a Saturday or something. This keeps me sane and on track. Actually I do this alot, most days, I log my entire day in the morning as I've already planned my entire day of eating.

Nothing like Florida's Emerald Coast!:heart:

Totally addicted!!!!!! I want to say I love it for all the fitness info, but actually it's more like food porn with all the wonderful recipies and pictures!!!!! :laugh:

This was so good it sounds like you are a writer for the show!!! LOL Love me some Sheldon!!!!!!!!!

Yes they are acidic when you eat them, but they leave an alkaline ash and they alkalize the blood. If you read The Ph Miracle you will see pictures of what your blood looks like after an alkaline meal and after an acidic meal. After an acidic meal your blood will look clumpy and sometimes even oily looking. Alkaline blood…
