Try any of the Leslie Sansone walking dvds. They are short and you can do all the low impact walking without leaving the house. It is too hot to walk outside in Florida and I do her dvds at least 3 times a week. Do some simple weight resistance with 2 lb. weights for strengthening those arm muscles. You don't have to…

How cute. It looks so good to eat. How clever you are.:flowerforyou:

You look fab! Congrats, I know how hard it is. Keep on eating and toning.:flowerforyou:

Fage and Chobani are the best. Without sugar, with evaporated cane juice. I have it with my Kashi at least 3 times week. The flavors are yummy, but with the Fage they are in separate compartments. You just mix the Chobani, especially like the lemon with blueberries or strawberries added in.:flowerforyou:

Nice job! Keep it up and you can go anywhere.:flowerforyou:

have been trying to get there for over 3 yrs. I keep on missing the boat or train. Still working at it though.

Gee, it is the opposite with me. My husband shops and cooks. May I suggest the taste of home comfort food diet cookbook. It has the greatest recipes with half the fat and sugar. You can sit together and plan your breakfast, lunch, and dinners. Has a section for deserts. I basically use it during the summer when I am on…

Totally terrific program. I was definitely a couch potato before trying it. Although I can't run anymore. Had double hip replacement 4 yrs. ago and I dislocated my left hip in January just before my 1st 5K. Doctor told me I can't run because it will jar my hips. I now have no more soreness and envy those who are running. I…

Great job. I am about where you are after losing 60 pounds. It is slow and hard at times. You can do it. Keep on eating and toning.

Yes it is a happy birthday!

So sorry to laugh, but I could picture myself doing the same thing. Hope you were satisfied with what you did buy. I would have gone with a skirt and top. Thanks for sharing.:flowerforyou:

Don't feel like that! Tell your husband to BACK OFF. Many of us are eating healthier to lose the weight. It is a lifestyle not a diet. Slurpge once in awhile then back to the program. Those extra pounds will come back off as long as get back to a regime and work it off. Here is a :flowerforyou: to make you feel better.…

Just from experience and then from success. Slim Fast was good to drink for breakfast and lunch, but when you eat you need to eat correctly. I will never go back onto any diet product again. I eat 3 fat loss plates and snack in between and lose the weight. My body is constantly in fat burning mode and I eat what I want. If…

You need to eat to lose the weight. I know it sounds crazy but with the correct portions and the correct nutritutes you will lose. Mix up the exercise every 4 weeks will get you off a plateau. :flowerforyou:

Congrats! Every little bit helps. I was planning on running our 5K this May for our Shrimp Festival but I have to walk it instead. Had a hip dislocation in Jan. before the Pirate Run on Feb. 5 and I couldn't do it. Not allowed to run any more but I can walk it. Will walk the whole 5K instead of half like last year. I miss…

I sometimes log in my strength training as circuit training. When you do weights and cardio that is what it is. I also list the routines I do with the strength exercises and how many pounds I use. I don't get too technical with it. Someone else might give you more info.:flowerforyou:

Embrace it. You shouldn't be weighing yourself every day. The scale lies most of the time. Keep on eating and toning.:flowerforyou:

What a great job! So inspirational. You look terrific. Those last pounds are hard to get off. Just be patient.:flowerforyou:

I love Jazzercise. I wish there was a class near my home. Did it when I moved to Florida for years. Then moved north and noone was offering classes. Wear regular workout clothes, shorts, tshirt, sneaks. Bring water and a towel. My school district is starting Zumba classes so that is what I am going to do 2 times a week…

I am with you. Have completed 1 jog around the bus loop 4 times with a stop for water. I have been doing C25K off and on since this summer. Make sure you stretch real well. I am going to sign up for a 5K in February. Was going to run today but an arctic wind is blowing here in Florida. Good luck on running.:flowerforyou:

Try to take some Advil or other ibupropen before exercising. Could be burisitis. I took pills before exercising and it helped.:flowerforyou:

I made a none fat pumpkin cheesecake and it tastes amazing. I would add more spices to it for more taste. I used the Philadelphia cream cheese recipe and switched ingredients with reduced fat ginger snaps, fat free cream cheese, egg whites, and evaporated cane juice. I will check to see the nutritutional information on…

Congratulations I need for my daughter to see this. She is at college and is starting to look more overweight than she started. You did and are doing a great job. Keep on eating and toning.:flowerforyou:

Oatmeal with chocolate protein powder and berries make my day. :flowerforyou:

The scale only tells you weight. The measurements will give you the body composition of lean muscle mass vs. body fat. There is a way to measure how much lean mass you have.Depending on your age and if you are a woman or a man. Female and 31 yrs. old and more measure: hips plus thigh equals subtract calf times 2 and then…

I have created new friends through MFP, DFL, and FL which are all the websites I go on. The people are encouraging and don't judge you because they are in the same place as you and I. Good luck on your weight loss journey. We are all winners!:flowerforyou:

Have you taken your measurements and do a body composition? Sometimes we are less than we think because of the body composition numbers. I have 152 lbs. of lean muscle mass but the scale doesn't go down. I was told to keep changing things up and it will follow. :flowerforyou:

Conratulations!:flowerforyou:

I put it under circuit training if I am also adding cardio to it. Then I add each exercise I do under strength training. If you don't do it with cardio, you might put it under aerobics general.:flowerforyou:

Teachers start back on the 16th. I will be glad to have a busy routine. I work out before work and try to work out after work also. Eating won't be difficult, I bring my own lunch and have my snack between breakfast and lunch and then another after work before dinner. :flowerforyou:
