What did the psychiatrist say to his patient when he walked in the office wrapped in saran wrap?? Wait for it... Wait for it... I can clearly see your nuts. HA HA HA HA

KInda lame, but a good play on words.... How can you tell if a stick is from a dogwood? ........................................................................ The bark is ruff. HA HA HA Happy Friday everyone!

You look amazing!

I had been overweight most of my life (about 20lbs over0. My last semester of college I dropped quite a bit and was the thinnest I had ever been. Everyone thought I was soooo skinny (I have a somewhat larger frame). I STILL felt FAT!!! I kept thinking I could lose more. I kept going back to my old size of a 14, but I was…

I say, do what works best for you!!! I'm not a big fan of breakfast, but I found something that I enjoy eating (low in calories) and I look forward to having it every morning. It has just become part of my routine. If you're not hungry DON'T EAT!!!!! Some experts will tell you to eat something every 2-3 hours (at least my…

You look amazing!! I am in awe of your dedication to improve yourself not only for you, but for your children as well. You're an inspiration to me. Congratulations :drinker:

As a parent I feel I am responsible in leading my daughter in the direction in which I believe is the most respectable in the way she views herself and others. We all have different opinions on what they may be. However, it seems to me that her mother doesn't want her daughter acting in that way, but doesn't want to take…

I suffer from Bipolar II. I have horrible depression at times and had been hospitalized twice for attempting suicide. I gained over 100 lbs from medications and absolutely nothing was working. My doctor thought that Electro-convulsive Therapy (Shock therapy) would be best. i went to see another doctor who would perform the…

"You done told me that already." Some of my family is from Kentucky :tongue:

You need to do what is most comfortable to you right now. If you're not use to exercising ever, than take it slow and just start with cardio. Once you have built up some strength and are use to exercise, then a strength routine is very crucial to any plan. Building muscle allows us to burn more calories (plus we just look…

My little girl would just love these!!! (Not to mention me too :tongue: ) Thanks for posting!

As long as you make eating healthier fun, your child will be on board. There are all kinds of recipes or ideas to jazz up those healthier things and make them more appealing. You're doing the best thing for your child and starting him young, because he will take these good eating habits with him into adulthood. Thumbs up…

I do, I do!

You have done an amazing job! You look great!

Any of them are great. If you are having problems with your knee, you will want to stay away from the jogging one. Enjoy!

My mom had 2 slipped disks and 2 surgeries. She does all kinds of exercise. I have 2 herniated disks and I do all kinds of exercise as well. However, our disks do not bother us much anymore (unless we do that one movement that trips everything up!!!). For you, I would do anything that does not have major impact. Examples…

Try this... Give yourself 3 days. Eat only healthy proteins (plain chicken, fish, eggs), fruit, and vegetables. Make what you eat as clean as possible. This will allow your body to detoxify, getting the sugar out of your body. If you can get through the first 3 days, you should be able to do better. Good luck!

LOL!!! That's exactly what I was thinking!!

Time of the month??

Your positive attitude is the key to your success. You got this!!! Feel free to add me as a friend. I would like to be part of your journey and be there to support you!

Losing weight is never easy for anyone. However, when you are medications that cause weight gain, no matter how hard you try they can really keep you from losing or make your progress even slower. I am on 6 different medications for my mental disorders and my doctor told me that I would have lost more than I have if I…

These sound fantastic!

Well, just like everyone else it was hard. However, I think a lot of times my medications slow down my progress (even my doctor said that it was). I did go up on my anti-depressant from 20mg to 40mg about a week ago because my anxiety was out of control. When I did that it created a firestorm. I was eating like crazy and…

In some ways I agree with you. All calories are not created equal. However, never deny yourself something you enjoy, because you will end up over doing it later. I think planning it into your day is the best way. Sometimes, eating "junk" can help boost that metabolism a bit if you're in a plateau. It actually helped me.…

Like others have said, definitely go to a running store where they can fit you in the right shoe. When I went in for the first time they put me on the treadmill and the shoes I was wearing were causing me pain. When I got new shoes they fit me in, it made my running very enjoyable. They really know what they are doing.

Hi! Prince William County here!

Everything is psychological and I totally agree with you! Treat Day is what i will call it now :happy:

Definitely feel the same way!

I went to high school with a girl name Happy Anne Kuhn. She always told us her parents were hippies :)

You look absolutely incredible! Congrats on your success!
