Muirenn

I am in a bad flare, but I am keeping my step counts up this week. I am adding more water and trying to keep moving. I have been "stuck" for a couple of months and I am getting discouraged. I know this is not going to stop me but the pain is keeping me from being productive

bump!

Curves was great when I was getting started after years of not moving much it got me up and going. I got some decent support and loved that it was an all girls thing. I am progressed it was not what I needed, so I moved on. But my time at Curves get's the credit for getting me started

So I talked to my Dr about this and he suggested two or three for me. I am starting to pick up activity to a new level and he wants to make sure I don't bring on a flare. Autoimmune sucks! On the bright side he said I am doing better than he expected so he is comfortable with me upping my activity level!

Hi I am 38 and 5'3" currently at 273lbs with an end goal of 150. I started about 315 and have worked hard to get this far, but I keep going I know I have to take all of this extra weight off. Best of luck! Feel free to add me

That is a very true statement. It took me a while to get on the bandwagon but going slow and making changes that stick are the way to go!

Muirenn is the name of my persona in my historical recreation society. I have used it online for a very long time.

Knowing that the weight will come off and I will feel better and better as it does. There are times when I have a stall in my weight loss and that happens but best thing to do is remember why I am working so hard and keep it up! Every day is a new opportunity to become a healthier me

My moment was at the dr's office. He told me he wanted me to have gastric bypass. I was 314lbs and my Fibro was out of control. I am in my late 30's and it does not get any easier to take off weight as I get older. I just decided this was enough. I was tired of being tired and fat. My husband got a new job and they have a…

About six months ago I was 314 now at 272 and still going down. It's hard but worth it. at 5'3" I was huge and still am but working on it and proud of what I have accomplished

I have some beans soaking to make refired beans (I do a healthy version) to make toastadas. I made my own salsa and use a nice low fat cheese. :) I have a whole wheat pumpkin bread for dessert maybe with some cream cheese... I don't know yet. Not sure what I want for lunch..... maybe some soup.

When my Dr suggested bypass to help me I decided that I was not going to be that woman. I could do this on my own. So I set out to do just that.

I add it to a lot of my family meals. No one has noticed. It works well in coffee or juice as others have said. I have not tried it in water. I did not care for the chewables. I prefer to use the powder which can be added to sauces and meatloaf with no one the wiser :)

I am in Johnston County!! :) Clayton

My husband and I are supportive of each other. He has seen this site help my weight loss so he is all for it. I have it open on my computer all the time. He has his stuff I have mine. But we do make time for each other just to talk about our day and such before bed. I think that is important

Awesome!! :) Every day is a new opportunity to get healthy! Keep up the good work

What a fantastic change. :) Great job

I know that I am an emotional eater that is the first step. Now when you get a crazy urge to eat stop and think about why.. I ask myself why a lot. I noticed that I am less likely to snack if I am drinking water. Also I don't keep "JUNK FOOD" in the house, so that if I do snack I only have healthy choices.

I have a big 32oz plastic bottle I use. I am not a fan of plain water so I add lemon and make sure it's super cold. I am getting better about drinking it. I have cut my soda consumption

Amazing!! :)

Thanks!!
