My dad was diagnosed with kidney cancer. I started to ask myself if I was healthy enough to go through what he was going through. I wasn't. And at the time, I was serving in children's ministry and couldn't keep up with them. I had a heart to minister to the kids so I needed to change. So started my journey late 2010 and…

We like it. I consider them more on the ham side of taste than awesome baconness. I however cannot fry it to save my life, my husband has to do it for me. I don't see why it couldn't be cooked in the oven like pork bacon. I will use the leftover bacon that day on sandwiches, but it's not worth keeping after that. Maybe try…

Yes, you are awesome! ( Don't get a big head!) I have loved being on this journey with you! :wink:

What a beautiful young lady you are! Great Job!

Mine wasn't pictures. Mine was just pounds on a pad on the fridge. I've kept 65 pounds off for over a year and just recently took that pad down. Now there's a new one with inches on it. Out with the old in with the new. What ever motivates you. I think I might go put a pair of my fat pants on and run around the house in…

Ladyvivica, kittycat38...add me as a friend too if you would like. your stories are similar to my own Thanks

I'm game. took off like crazy on 1200...tapered off some but managed to keep nearly all of it off. Started at 250 now at 183ish. Hitting it hard to finish what I started. Give me an invite, be glad to share ideas. :wink:

my husband has lost a bit over 50 pounds and he no longer snores. He snored so loudly at times that I had to turn the volume on the tv up when he would doze off.

man you are on it! great ideas!

alright ..uncle uncle uncle I give up! :laugh: love it!

I reuse the same bottle at work but will work on the energy thing....I will be a body at rest. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I am getting it out of the way today...cereal..soup then pb and j!

I am so glad that this group exists...I like the focus being on the whole person and no just the body. So excited to have motivation in all areas of our lives. *LIKE*:bigsmile:

will do them as soon as my dinner settles. Jumping jacks are alright, we do these in one of our worship songs in Children's Church. We incorporate exercises during songs to wear them out so they will be ready to listen when it's time.

Nice! I had to put some of my fat ones on the other day to remind me to keep going.

Would love to get those wonderful exercises out of the way. I put in eight hours at work with warehouse truck, squats, lifts and jerks plus I have been on my head all evening cleaning my house. I have squatted and reached and twisted and squatted some more. Does that count? Please say it does...I am so pooped!

I saw those at the store tonight and wondered how to cook those. I sincerely guessed at the eggplant thing. I used all parm cheese and forgot they used bread crumbs. HA:laugh: It turned out okay enough the fam ate it. And yes I got those sit ups done. I grumbled before, during and after them but I feel better for it.…

100???? REALLY? that's... uh yeah 100? :noway: Okay stayed away from raw tomato but I did an eggplant parmigiano ( never had) thing and for dessert the fam tried star fruit (never had either). Could the next challenge be to stay away from peanut m and m's for at least a week? I need blinders on when it comes to…

bump...sounds great

Instead of a beef roast use a whole chicken. Add the vegetables just like you would a roast.

okay so these exercises are hard for me to do. I am doing almost all of them. And I am looking for the food. I am almost ready to try to eat raw tomato....almost. and the extra steps will be much easier for me. :smooched:

I am thankful to be more fit than I was this time last year...... still working on procrastination. Will try to keep up and keep on it. :happy:

I am thankful to be more fit than I was this time last year. I am working on procrastinating....I will join tomorrow. ( that means I'm in :wink: )

I was just telling someone about how embarrassed I was about that same issue. It is soo wonderful to have successes like that!

Happy anniversary to you missy! Can't tell which smile is bigger!
