Happy New Year! I have been on MFP for a year and a half. I over that time I have found exercise and it's now a habit. I want to make sure I stay as young as possible and am not limping around in my later years like my dear Mother did. I did my first 1/2 marathon last Feb and a few mud runs. Training for my next one the…

Listen to your wife!!! I still would like to lose another 20# but feel GREAT where I am. I work out alot and feel strong and confident..however sometimes I still feel like I look fat. I have maintained this weight for a year..still getting compliments. I have gotten rid of ALL of my fat clothes..there is no turning back.…

Pearl you can do it!!!! This is the BEST place for support. I have come along way with all my MFP's. I am now an exercise freak...that is giving me more calories and more variety to eat so I am not feeling deprived. I will add you....:bigsmile: I love new friends Judy

That is the best story!!!! Congrats to you!!!! Speaking from my experience I still see myself as fat...I have another 15 or so to lose...I had I guy I work with this week REALLY didn't recognize me when walking up behind me...I had another friend who is a skinny B call me that too after a 5k race...when looking at the pic…

I CAN and WILL...I love to exercise...weird right???!!! I was planning on a hike at the park and I usually stop at the wooden fences and do push up on them... DEVLe WOW all in one day...hummmm I will see how many I can get done today...I just might join you :wink:

Do you have a blender??? One of my gym instructors told me to try some dry oatmeal, greek yogurt and blueberries. I added some chocolate protein powder and alittle natural sweetner...blend it together...really good! You can eat with a spoon or add alittle water to thin it out. Enjoy!

Also my husband wears his bike short and jean shorts over them..I thought the mountain bike pants would look better..to me anyway...he could care less what he looks like :laugh:…

Oh I know the helmet wouldn't have helped and the kids were excited to prove me wrong that it wouldn't have made a difference. What is was trying to get through their thick skulls is that accidents happen and what if he fell on his head instead of his jaw.....there would be a horribly different problem he would be…
