Tic_Tac_Toe

((HUGS)) I wish there was a magical wand, but there just isn't. Ever since having my son back in 2003, I have been fairly healthy & exercise (some years better than others). He never got on board, not until last year actually. He started making small changes and has now lost 80 pounds!! I wish I could say it was something…

5'9 and 164 but my goal is 155! I love being tall too!

Wow, she looks amazing!

I tell my husband he must be on his period a lot, lol. I think they do!

If only the pounds would come off with every booze I lift, ugh :ohwell: My husband and I have basically cut out all beer, wine, and sweet drinks. We stick to shots or mixed drinks of vodka/rum & diet coke. So far, we've been good. We drink probably once or twice a week.

My husband is on Adderall for ADD. He tends to lose his appetite on it but he will drink shakes throughout the day and have a large dinner. He also exercises regularly with no problems. He’s been very successful with his weight loss and toning. It is different for everyone so I would still talk to your Dr.

You can do it!! Good Luck :o)

I have been doing a spin class and I can feel the sweat pouring off my face & down my hair. It is gross! Especially when you can't towel off fast enough and it's getting in your mouth, lol. I feel like I look **** afterwards but I don't care. I'm not there to impress and I sweat a lot anyway.

My co-workers and I walk everyday up a pretty steep hill and it takes 20 min. I decided not to count it, because we do it more to get out of the office than for exercise. Plus, it's just a few extra calories I've burned.

Does she go through spurts where she worksout & eats healthier too? My husband started doing the same thing... workingout, eating healthier, and weighing himself. I am usually the workout fanatic in our house so it took me by surprise. I was kind of in the dumps & feeling insecure so I wasn't as supportive to him. Then one…

I am on TOM right now and it sucks!! I was really bad last night, skipped the gym & ate bad :o( I am trying to make up for it today. Hopefully, next month is better. I do need start taking my multivitamin again.

Hello! It says I joined in April but I didn't actually start using MFP until this Monday. We can do it! YAY

I am also 5'9 and have heard all the comments of "you carry it well" to "you don't need to lose weight." I am sure you've heard the saying "misery loves company," but it makes it harder because it's your daughter. You need to do what makes you happy & what makes you comfortable in your own skin. Maybe your daughter will…

I thought you looked the same height :o) I just started here but I am getting things down fairly fast. This isn't my first rodeo, lol. I've lost 15 pounds since March but I am trying to get this last 10 or so off that is why I joined. I wasn't tracking food before. Hoping this is what I need.

I love that I can be honest and sencere. I have a big heart. I also love my height ('m 5'9). I am always getting compliments on my hair & figure too :o)

May I ask, how tall are you? I am 5'9 and 165... trying to get to 155. You look great!

Thanks for the information, everyone!!

My husband and I have both made major improvements and we've lost a lot weight. We talk to each other about it often. Other than that, I keep it to myself. If someone says, I look good or what am I doing to lose the weight, then I will tell them. Congrats!!

I am in the same boat. I'm 5'9 and been staying around the 165 marker, right at a healthy weight. I want to be 155, dang it. I have been working out & eating healthy. That is why I joined this website :) I am hoping it will help.

Maybe change the sauces and add more veggies??

I know people that have an atheletic body and still smoke & drink every week. Some people can do it! Not saying, it is a good thing but it can happen. Some of those men that you see with a beer in one hand & a cig in the other do hard labor all day long.

Sandra - She is a badass and beautiful!

You look fabulous! I am also down to my last 10 and it has been so hard, ugh!

I feel gross when I eat unhealthy, but every now and then the cravings come. I still eat what I want but in moderation. I have noticed I hardly ever crave fast food though, which is awesome!

Absolutely not. Your profile pic. is just wrong tho!!

Girl please! Do what YOU enjoy doing. It is easy to fall off the wagon if you find yourself bored in your workout routine. Just make sure you are pushing your self hard enough.

You're not alone. Chin up :o)

I don't really party, but I still like to drink with my husband at home. We've cut out all beer and have been sticking to mixed drinks, such as rum and diet coke. If anyone has any other suggestions I want to hear too!

I am 5'9. I'm in a size 11-12 but my goal is 9-10!!
