I had been checking Craig's List but with no luck...however I just checked again and found a NordicTrack A2550 which sounded pretty good. They are asking $500. So I emailed to see if still available. If no I will check the ones you guys recommended...I had been staying away from Walmart in particular because I was afraid…

Well...my husband has Alzheimer's now so it's a little harder because most of the time (even though he's in the earlier stages) he's more like my child now than my husband. But we have been married going on 33 years and before the Alzheimer's he was GREAT! I loved: 1) That he was a hard worker...held a job with a paycheck…

I ordered some for my daughter that's on MFP...vanillasugar. I think they did run small. She is mostly a 10-12 in pants and I'm pretty sure I had to get her an xl. I will see if she can answer you too.

I have worked in insurance for 20+ years and having seen the bad side of speeding (and I'm not talking about the insurance rate increase...I'm talking the accidents/injuries/deaths) I think speeding is very serious. HOWEVER, not knowing you son it's difficult to offer advise. Things that come into account are how long he's…

I agree with 2010dutchess...whatever makes you feel good about yourself. I would have no issue have some things done if I had the money. I think you can go overboard just like anything else. But...to each their own.

A cute, funny read and probably fairly accurate. Laughed several times while reading this. However, none of us are "cookie cutters" and so every marriage/relationship is different. I have been fortunate enough for the past 32 years to have a fantastic husband that now has Alzheimers...the past couple of holidays have been…

I am in pretty much the same boat. I started 2/10/10 I don't want to get quite as low as you but my goal was to be at 150 and I have been at 165 for months even though for the most part I have done good d\uring that time. A few bad times but mostly good and kept up and even added exercise. For awhile I got discouraged but…

I made it through the holidays last year without gaining. I had all the same things I usually had...just less of them and I ate lighter the day before and after and got in more exercise. There are some things I'm not willing to give up...holiday meals are one. I did make some changes...using skim milk in recipes instead of…

slriley2...I don't despise the gym but I told Angela...I will never ever love going like some people do. I go as a means to an end. I find I don't make time for exercise if I'm at home...I find to many other things to do (or my husband finds things for me:smile: . I did get a pilates cd but haven't tried it yet. I'm not…

Wuss! :wink:

Funny, I'm still far from gorgeous and I'm 57 years old but not to long ago I was somewhere and a man started talking to me and AFTER he left it hit me that he had actually been flirting with me! Not that it mattered since I am very happily married but the point is it had been so long since anyone had found me attractive…

YOU CAN DO IT! I am waaaay older than you and have lost 115 lbs. I want to lose about another 20 lbs. have been at a stand still for a bit (but still maintaining so that is good). I WILL make it. Best of luck!

Great job...you look amazing! Thanks!

I think people should write to the restaurants they like and let them know they are upset that they don't provide nutrition info. I love Texas Roadhouse but I wrote them and told them I don't plan to eat there if they aren't going to issue nutrition info. I don't think it would affect people eating in these…

I also like looking at peoples diaries. It is a great motivator and gives good ideas for meals etc. I have had mine open from the beginning and I openly admit I don't always eat the healthiest, don't always stay within my calories and sometimes eat just downright stupid things. Personally (and maybe I am deluding myself…

I agree he is probably not giving his body enough or maybe not the right nutrition and he will sabotage himself. Eat plenty of healthy food and also is he drinking lots of water? Not hydrating your body will cause muscle cramps/soreness.

I try to do early mornings before work so I don't feel like I'm taking time away from my husband but that doesn't always work out (like if I've been awake half the night) so if I don't get the morning in I do after dinner, before dark...usually bike riding cause I don't like to have to drive back into town to go to the gym.

Mine is that I have been on this site for a little over a year and a half, logged everyday, lost 113 lbs and can now walk for MILES, ride bike (rode 30 miles last Sunday) and am getting more fit everyday. Two years ago I could barely make it through the grocery store without being out of breath. I went from a size 24…

Hi! I am a 20+ year licensed insurance agent...you definitely should be able to get life insurance at this time...shop carefully because if you do get denied by one company others will usually not accept you. There are many many term policies that are later convertible to permanent. You DO NOT want to try to hide…

Thanks everyone! I actually found one (out of stock at Walmart but found it at Amazon) that is the same as the 2 carier mentioned at Walmart but is a 3 so should do what I need. It had great reviews too!

I did that and it took the pictures away! Ok, I will have to have my daughter help...I have played around with it and can't get it to work. Sorry!

I took before and after..you can see them under my profile photos. I think it is extremely important especially if you have a lot to lose. I have lost over 100 lbs but sometimes still feel "HUGE". All I have to do is look at the pictures to remind myself what huge is. I still have a way to go but so so much closer. I took…

One "small" thing she forgot to mention! At the top, just before she started down thinking she was going to plummet to her death she texted her mother this message "Shouldn't have done this. I love you. I'm scared." Upon getting this message I texted back "why...what's wrong?" thinking bear etc. No answer. Soooo I then…

I know there are others that have had both on this site because I have seen them. I considered it but was a little leery of surgery so I thought about it (for several years actually) and during that time I talked to probably a dozen people in my small community that had it and out of all of those only one got all her…

Just be careful about "hitting it harder". I have done this Feb. 2010 and had lost like you said a lb or more every week (lots of times earlier 2-3 lb a week). Then I hit a plateau. So I lowered my calories...still didn't lose so I lowered the bare 1200 a day. Still didn't lose. But all of a sudden I was starving all the…

I agree you have to definitely read...especially it seems the "junkier" the food the worse it is. I looked a a muffin one time (granted it was a large one...but still a muffin). FOUR servings! Who is going to cut a muffin into fourths? And my best/dumbest find so far came just yesterday while grocery shopping. I got my…

I also agree and appreciate the restaurants that do list calories...just wish the cooks tried a little harder to keep it accurate. I understand and accept that they won't and can't measure and weigh everything like we do at home at least we can have an "approximate"but come on...drenching it in butter is crazy!

Thanks for all the info! I do already love to ride. I plan on getting a better bike at some point...I'm using my 15 year old grandsons now while he's gone for the summer. I did that just to see if I even remembered how to ride:laugh: He's coming back in a couple of weeks so I will need to get one before then. Pretty much…

Mine is 512 I think...it showed 510 a day or 2 ago...think it shows in 5 day increments. And 112 lbs lost.

I totally agree! I finally got one (the Polar FT4) about 6 months ago...when I saw the difference in calories I actually burned versus what the machines and MFP said for certain activities I'm surprised I lost any weight at all the first 6 months! I burn very slow. With my HRM I burn between 3-400 calories in about 50 min…
