You look great, way to go!

Swallow Beets?

I say keep walking, maybe pick up the pace and make those 12 mins count. I walk around my office complex and its a little over a mile round trip. I do it at a pace of about 3.5 to 4.0 in order to get my heart rate up and make it really count as a calorie burning exercise. Also, no I don't think it is useless, at least you…

WooHoo! Congrats to you!

You look great, keep it up!

I have had days where I don't eat my full calorie count, and then there are days I go over. I have even had days of not being hungry but I eat something because without eating I get headaches and get lethargic. I can understand where you are coming from, but you do need to eat busy or not.

I have not experienced it with alcohol, though I cannot drink as much as I used to. :) I have experienced it with sweets, I cannot eat sweets (cake, cookies, etc) the sugar is too much now. I happen to be happy about that!

I am gonna try and stick with it, so far I was able to resist the temptation of all the sweets and stuff at the office this week.

I am Darren originally from Baltimore, Md and was transplanted in Southern California over 20 years by the Marine Corps. A good friend of mine was having chest pains and trouble breathing, he went to the doctor finally and he was told to pick up a will on his way home, because if he didn't change his eating habits and…

I have found that a lot of sugary food doesn't taste the same to me anymore. For me I think it has to do with the mental sweet tooth block I have put on. I have found that I am scared to gain back the weight I lost so I basically avoid sweets altogether now!

I have ran 2 5K's in the last 3 months, I am going to do one more 5K in Jan, then a 10K in Feb. This is to get me ready for a 1/2 Marathon in June. If you don't run at all I suggest starting with an aggressive power walk routine fo about 2 weeks or more, then move into a jog for a few weeks, then start running, don't do…

Awesome Job! You look great!

First, I agree with a lot of what is being said here. I have to ask, has anybody sat down and watched Super Size Me? Even with daily exercise fast food and the chemicals used in them is harmful to your body period! I feel as though fast food should not be the norm due to parental laziness, nothing beats a home cooked meal.
