It looks like we have a new member at our gym, she's really really large.. but bless her heart, I've seen her two days last week, and she was on the treadmill for a good 30 minutes. Was she walking fast? no. But she was walking. She got off of that, and moved on to the Arc.. which is not an easy piece of equipment to use..…

bump for later - YUM!

Tallahassee lassie :)

I LOVE cheezits. Matter of fact, I'd kill for some now. However.. had I known at 20 what I know now, I'd have been watching my sodium! It's soooo hard to get it off later in life.. it's great that you are starting now.. but watch the things that can mess you up later on, because it will catch up with you one day. Bad…

Another "mommy lecture" (I have a 20 year old lol) .. that junk food is going to cause you issues in the long run. Sodium counts, etc.. I'm battling high blood pressure, which I didnt develop til I quit smoking. Granted, before I quit, my love is salty stuff.. I can pass on sweet items but I will cut you over a box of…

Mine is set on sedentary.. which I "think" is right.. on my big butt all day, but I do 5-6 gym visits a week with strength training and cardio. I think it wants the "majority" of your time.

I gotta man, so you can save that, but, I'm all about a new friend, especially one that can poke fun at theirselves :) I too pee in the shower and burp like a man. Let's be bff's.

I don't remember setting my profile up originally, but I'm right at your same weight. It was set at active - and I had 1700 calories per day. After about a week of thinking "why would my big butt need that many calories", I looked into it, and I shouldnt have been set at active, as I do have a desk job. That dropped my…

I'm in! Sign me up.. My goal is 60 by January for wedding dress shopping!

lunch is the hardest meal of the day for me.. I guess because I'm away from my kitchen and what I've got, is what I've got! Can't go to the pantry and pick something else!

I love it! Great read!

First, I am so sorry for the loss of your wife. My 28 year old friend just had a double masectomy, my stepmother is battling breast cancer right now, and a good friiend of my daughter's mother just passed from breast cancer. It's not a selective disease and it's awful. Look for a Making Strides event in your area - I am on…

Thanks for all the ideas! Hubs has me three chicken breasts on the grill for the week, and I got some reduced fat cheese and lettuce and low carb wraps, with a side of yogurt! I just needed to be inspired :)

I like Active 2 much better than the original Wii fit. Since you've brought it up, this makes me want to dust my balance board off and kick it :)

I can't wait to wedding dress shop in January - LOL :)

Does sodium cause kidney stones? I don't get them but lord my fiance racks them up.. I blame them on his soda habit (thank the lord he drinks diet) but he eats a lot of processed stuff too.. sodium UP! I never knew that!

My biggest problem is my blood pressure. Anything with preservatives/sodium makes me swell up to the point I can't even get my shoes on. I've lost enough weight that my meds got cut in half cause my pressure has dropped a lot, but the swelling is actually worse. So, I have to start from scratch with fresh stuff. And, it's…

thanks! Gave me some thoughts! Firing up the grill today, so I'll put some extra chicken on there :)

Devil box.. I love it!

I do strength training, probably 3-4 of my 5 days a week at the gym. I used to do the express circuit, but I moved on to the big girl machines now ;) Trying to do low weight, high reps.. good or bad?

Coke zero, all day long. I don't drink a lot of soda, I do water and crystal light primarily, but when I WANT a coke zero, you better clear out of my way and make it happen :)

I can't stay off the damn scale either, and I'm seriously about to remove it from my house! LOL

ha :) Everyone wants to be a redneck! lol! North Florida, where most of the girls (myself included) are rednecks :)

I love love love the Arc at the gym.. it burns a ton more calories, and for whatever reason, it makes me sweat more, and makes me feel like I did something. I'm not sure what the actual difference is besides the arc doesnt have the arm movement (which I'm so uncoordinated it agitates me quick, lol) but it's a fabulous…

Working and raising kids is hard work, and throw dieting in there and goodness, it's a lot on a plate! This has been a great support system for me already, add me if you like :) No one judges here and this is why I love it! I'm not just the fat girl here, I'm the fat girl trying to make healthy changes :)

I LOVE food today.. so much so today that instead of my gym visit at 4 pm with my hubby to be, I want to go to chick fil a for an 8 piece order of nuggets :) Keep your eye on the long term goal.. you can do this. PS... I HATED exercising in April when I joined my gym. In June (after a foot injury caused by nothing but my…

I'm definitely not a doctor, but I have strong opinions on the depo shot.. I porked on 20 pounds after that thing, as well as everyone else I know that took it. Go to your ob/gyn for your b/c. There are MANY other b/c options out there now that don't cause the weight gain. Number 2.. second opinion from a different primary…

5'5.. sw 292.. CW 271.. goal of 150. IMMEDIATE goal.. 70 off by January for wedding dress shopping.. YIKES!

Love! You look fabulous. Congrats :)

WTG! You are looking gorgeous!
