I'm going to enjoy one small portion of ALL of my favorite foods! That means yummy ham, mashed potatoes, croissant dinner rolls, and a piece of pie or cake for dessert. How often do we get to enjoy such a delicious meal? Not too terribly often. So I'm going to enjoy, and go for a nice lonnnnnnnng walk/jog that morning to…

Looking GREAT girly! Keep up the hard work! :)

I just started maintenance and I'm freaked out as well......I wish I had some good advice for ya, but honestly I'm in the same boat! :) Congrats on reaching maintenance!

I had a total of 20ish to lose, which I've accomplished! And now I'm more focused on maintaining and toning than on anything else! :)

Well I'm in my 6th week of C25K and it's a FABULOUS program. Stick with it and don't push ahead...and I guarantee a few weeks in you will really see a difference in your endurance! A few words of advice... 1) GO SLOW. Jog as slow as you can, even if it's barely faster than walking. This helps with endurance immensely! I…

I mainly have done cardio...a couple of body pump or strength training classes thrown in here and there. But most it's been walking/jogging/running. :) It's totally possible. Now that I'm at my goal, I'm thinking about doing some strength training as well....to tone up my core, mostly!

Hey there :) 1) I run in the late morning or early afternoon. Haven't had the need to try night running yet, as I don't have kids to worry about during the day. I would def stick to well lit paths, however, if I ran at night. Safety first! 2) A few weeks into C25K I went and got fitted for running shoes. I am wearing…

I'm smack dab in the middle of week 6! Anyone feel free to add me! And OP, I'll be sending a friend request your way :)

I've struggled with acne since early puberty, and have seen a dermatologist since I was 12! LOL I've been on tons of antibiotics and topicals, and after many years they tried accutane treatment. The first time i tried accutane, it was a very low dose...so it worked, but only for about 2 years. Then the acne came back.…

That's strange. I never have tried Fage, because I'm a chobani lover! But now I'm gonna have to look at the Chobani label, because I ALWAYS stir mine...

Welcome to MFP and feel free to add me. I'd imagine it's hard being a SAHM, since you're tied to the house and it takes a lot of effort to get out to the gym or for a nice walk! But as you look around the site, you'll see so many people having success...it's infectious! :)

LOL Done that before, too...

That awkward moment at work when you're trying to help your patient to the bathroom, and they squeeze your butt or grab your boob "accidentally"...

I take a little container of plain chobani yogurt, and a packet of hidden valley ranch dry mix....I put maybe two tbsp of the mix into the chobani, mix it up, and VOILA! You have a healthy dip that you can truly indulge in...PLUS, it's non-fat and super high in protein! It's delish!
-
That is an amazing success story! Wow! You are truly inspiring people today! :)

Hey there! I know it can be expensive, but I would HIGHLY recommend speaking with a physical trainer to determine some good exercises for you based on your limitations. Starting off, walking is one of the easiest, cheapest, and most effective forms of exercise. I'd also check with your doctor to see if he has anything to…

Depends on the guy. My boyfriend has a chin strap and goatee, and I love it. He looks so silly without it! LOL I've always liked facial hair on most guys, though...a little bit of stubble is sexy as hell! :)

BUMP! Gonna have to make this!
-
Well I just about hit goal last week, so only a week so far...My total loss was about 23 lbs! :) I'm so nervous about slipping up and putting 5 lbs back on! Eek!!! Anyone have any good tips?
-
I was totally anti-runner! In high school, I would deliberately walk most of the mile run they'd force us into! And then, about a month and a half ago, I had lost some weight and wanted a new challenge. So I took up the C25K program and haven't looked back. At first, the minute and 90 second jogging intervals were super…

OMG, you totally had me falling for your prank! Good one!!!

I'm gonna be 29 this year, and I relate to most of this stuff, except the lack of a microwave! :) Ahhh, childhood was so simple back then...

I'm 5'3" and started at about 143 lbs...and boy, I looked overweight. My bone structure is very tiny, so my weight really shows itself easily. I'm currently weighing in around 122, and my goal weight will be 120. I really don't want to be too thin, but a gain of even 5 lbs is noticeable on me. Any fellow shorties feel free…

What a fabulous NSV!! SO happy for you!

OP, I think we are just about the same size...and I totally feel your frustrations. I am a 6 in some pants, and still an 8 in others. The 8's are loose to begin with, and some of the 6's get loose after a few hours of wearing them. But at 5'3" and 125 you would think I would be able to get in a size 4. I have the same…

I'm dropping you a friend request. This site is wonderful, and you'll find tons of motivation. I'm Amanda, BTW!

Happy One Year Runniversary! What an accomplishment. And you are looking GREAT btw! Running has done amazing things for you!!

You look amazing, and the difference is quite noticeable!! Keep going, you'll get to your goal!!! :)

I'm not a doctor, but I see a lot of patients with lymphedema. It's a really frustrating problem. I don't know how to guide you as far as determining weight loss...but extra fluid can definitely result in weight gain. If you've lost inches, it sounds like you are doing everything right. I know you don't want to spend $$ on…

It's so easy to drink away your calories. But liquids just don't keep me full, so I have cut down on calorie laden liquids. I have only a bit of almond milk or half and half in my coffee...I gave up juices (WAY too high in sugars and calories)...and I only drink alcohol in moderation. I do miss my creamy coffee and sweet…
