My high school class ring is actually too big!

Enlightened ice cream and ice cream bars are an awesome alternative to traditional sweets. The key for me has been to find acceptable alternatives AND don't let myself get too hungry ever.

...and I need to get my engagement and wedding rings resized. My weight has been stable for more than 6 months but I just haven't gotten around to it.

I want a new tattoo and to go skydiving if I ever manage to get to half my starting weight! I've only got a few pounds but I just can't quite get there.

The no sugar added flavors at Baskin Robbins are pretty dang good...but I can only do the smallest serving without regret. The barista at an airport Starbucks obviously forgot to use the sugar free syrup in my latte a few weeks ago...that was a couple of hours of regret and annoyance and sweating. At 18 months out, most of…

I'm currently only weighing in once a week but I weighed nearly every day for more than a year after my surgery. I had a DEXA scan done at the end of December and showed as quite lean. The surgeon's office said that I should be focusing on maintenance. I can gain up to 7 pounds immediately preceding "that" time of the…

I also want to add that I feel like when I added yoga and strength training (targeting my weaker areas) that I made a lot of progress in balancing/improving my gait and stride.

Get your gate tested...but also slow down your run and consciously correct what you can yourself. Be cognizant of how you're placing your feet when you land and pushing off. You'll feel it for the first few times and then your weaker muscles will start to get stronger. Check out chi running for additional ideas.

A protein shake made with Syntrax Whey Shake Chocolate and Califia Farms Toasted Coconut Almond Milk hits the spot almost every time.

Although it is going to vary by individual, there are guidelines which indicate that you can't process more than a certain amount of protein at a time. If those have any basis in fact, drinking a protein shake over a longer period of time may help ensure that your body utilizes it more completely.

It can be normal but the surgery, pregnancy, and age...not to mention your stress can wreak havoc on your body. Follow up with your midwife/ob or call your surgical office. Some blood work may be in order.

I just had one done at a Dexafit facility along with metabolic and cardiovascular fitness testing. It was expensive but I'm really happy that I did as I was getting a bit discouraged at not being able to shed the last 10 pounds. It turns out that I'm already at 16% body fat...even if I factor in a significant margin of…

I went for a DEXA scan today along with metabolic and cardiovascular fitness testing...so happy with the results! While I was happy to see a total body fat percentage just a hair over 16%, I was even happier to see that it measured a very healthy bone density. Osteoporosis runs on both sides of my family so it is a worry…

So sorry for your loss but so happy for your NSV!

I ran a half marathon and met my goal of finishing under two hours...just barely though! 1 hour 59 minutes 27 seconds. 15 out of 79 in my age division (aka middle age) 79 out of 593 women 184 out of 933 total runners A year ago I could barely run a mile without stopping!

I'd email the company! Packaging/ printing mistakes are more common than you realize. If it was a production error, and it hasn't already been corrected, they'll want to know. A deviation that large could be costing them a bunch of money.

New personal record time for my 10 mile run! I dipped below 90 minutes again and beat my previous best by 18 seconds.

622 days ago, 1 month before my 39th birthday, I made the decision to undergo weight loss surgery. It took me more than 700 days of researching, deliberating, reflecting, and agonizing to finally come to that decision. It was trying on a pair of size 24 jeans that finally pushed me over the edge. My weight on that day was…

@jcavanna2 ...all our living vicariously through others dreams are coming true!

Syntrax Nectar unflavored, in my opinion, has the least impact on flavor and texture.

Yay! Long live the bariathletes!

A weighed serving on an Aldi 90 calorie wrap with their Fit and Active Raspberry preserves is a tasty and satisfying treat for under 300 calories.

Thank you @blwelch1! I honestly think that I just have good genes when it comes to muscle definition. My arms look just like my dad's in his younger days. I mostly run (I range 30-50 miles per week...but have hit 70 one week!) but also incorporate kettlebells, elliptical, yoga, and have started some free weights...but I'm…

I had an NSV that is sort of actually scale related but a victory all the same...lol. Went into the RediClinic for Strep test and the doctor thought the nurse had noted my weight wrong because she couldn't believe that I weighed 145 and not 125! I'd love to be 125 but I'm all thunder and lightening from the waist…

This is one of those scale related NSVs...lol. At the doctor's office today the doctor thought the nurse had noted my weight wrong...she thought I must weigh 20 pounds less than I do!

Chaperone? ...or facilitator!

I'll totally get ordained and officiate!

OMG! I've been wishing for this so hard! ...but now we've drawn too much attention to it and they're going to block us!
