I'm out on an injury for right now. When I back to health, If I am not too slow for you I run at Fullersburg woods. http://www.dupageforest.com/ - Barbara

If you are not hungry - then it's not rude. It's rude of people force their thoughts onto others!

At 33 yrs I had my first heart attack, = it's not worth it (junk /"bad" foods). Either you get the will power to do it, or you keep "lying" to yourself, that you mean to change your life. To me, it was that simple after YEARS of lying to myself. I'm not being mean, but if you are serious about being healthy then you owe it…

Hello, Barbara here. Living in Oak Park.

If you are a runner, I would recommend you to join CARA. Not only is it good for running, you can meet a lot of nice people. I only know this because my coworker is a CARA memeber/runner. I'm too slow for any running group. lol Good luck meeting new people and your move! Barbara http://www.cararuns.org/

I did it for a year (eharmony). I met my best friend on it, and found two more really close friends too. At the time, I was 255 lbs. I was 100% honest about my weight when dating, and the men were, for the most part, nice about it. If they can't like you for what you look like now, then they aren't worth the time. After a…

Beano or gas-x That's all I have to say!

One more thing, if you want to run anything longer then a 5k. I would recommend joining CARA. http://www.cararuns.org/

There is also free running guides online, like how and when to add those miles. At least a 5k is fairly easy. It took me a months worth of training to be able to run the Chicago Monster dash.

Same here :-/

I'm between these - 100 pounds = a 2 month old horse 111 pounds = red meat an average American eats in a year

YES! Do that too!!

I started jogging at 275,but it was a walk- jog. I also had a dislocated my knee 3 months before I had started. Nor was I a person that even could run a mile in grade or high school. I set small goals and 5 months later I jogged the Chicago 5k Monster Dash, weighing 221 lbs. I jogged it nonstop with a time of 45 minutes.…

Trying this, THIS weekend! Looks awesome!

I'm prouder of people who are taking charge of their life and working hard for their weight loss. For us, we are mentally ready to change our eating habits therefore more of a life change, that lasts. Others (i feel) have a longer road to travel because they are not trully facing their weight gain reasons. I could be wrong…

If a person has high blood presure or heart disease (like me), then 1,500 is the recommend amount.

I hear CARA Summer Marathon Training "the prefect 10's" are awesome to run and hangout with.

7 years ago I was weighed 350. This past year I jumped up back to 270. I had enough, so I took control of my weight loss last year.

My end goal: I'm 5'4''. It would be nice to be 140 or 135, but my goal for "i'll be happy with myself" at 150lbs, the others are a bonus goal ideal.

I'm only allowed to eat 1,100 to 1,000 calories a day, because of my health condition. The Doctors thought that would save me from another heart attack while I try my best to lose weight.

Well done!!! :happy:

I live with my grandfather and aunt, while wait until I can move to France (to be with my fiancé). Not one family member cares about my health even after my heart attack. I have just learned to take care of myself .. and not worry about others that don't care about theirs. For my birthday, I watch the whole family eat cake…

Body glide is what many people use

Well done! VERY proud of you!

I've been doing that for nearly a year ... and I am close to losing 100lbs. :smile:

Very proud of you!! Well done!

Glad I saw this! Very Interesting!

Same here! LOVE it!
