also if your foot is still hurting , switch to doing upper body workouts for a few days till it feels better.

I'd recently heard Dolvet Quince mention them so I bought some at the grocery store. I'm so surprised at all the foods and drinks you can add chia to. Sprinkled them over my salad but I think in the morning i'll add a bit to my yogurt. They add a small texture and are quite pleasant tasting. part of the mint family so the…

MB, I'm in the same boat. I work with a trainer and she says it just takes time for the muscle to burn the fat off. Also, I don't sleep more than 4 hours at a time most nights which will also effect weight loss. so look for outside things that could be effecting your weight loss goal. Minyon

I also suffer from lack of sleep...oh yes I try all the natural ways I can but it still eludes me almost on a nightly basis and it definately effects my lack of weight loss and my workouts.

yea for you Mum !!! i still get them now and again when i up my exercise or switch from strength training to more cardio.

I had a small NSV recently too...doesn't it just make you all warm and fuzzy inside.

also I suggest, keep a list of little things you can do for yourself to feel better. I have a couple of outfits I wear that always make me feel better...I'm sure there are tons of things people do for themselves to feel better......

We are here for you to lean on. I'm hoping your weekend went well and you will keep us updated on your progress. /HUG

I was close to doing the same thing at home on the weekends. I just stopped and bought myself better snacks to keep around the house for the weekends. almonds, peanut butter crackers...almond granola bars. would a change like that help? You can put almonds in a zip lock baggie and put them in your purse for a snack on the…

Tell her she could use a little toning up also and then ask her what time she's like to hit the gym...lol. If she would like you slimmer , make her aprt of the work out process so she can see how hard you are working. my hubby runs with me sometimes and understands how hard my runs can be.

All of my sisters and my mother are overweight and have bad health. I want to look in the mirror and go "damn" for a good reason and not the bad negative reason.

I injured my right shoulder, I shifted the weight training to different parts of my body and started seeing a Chinese Accupunturist. Within a few visits I felt ready to start using weights again and am now almost totally recovered. I'm a former needle-fobic too but you hardly feel anything and I feel so calm and relaxed…

How does your doctor feel about your weight? if he's ok with it then I'd reply back to those comments with that information.

I tell people who bring me (or point out) bad foods like donuts this short story: "You know recently one of our coworkers in died in the office because he was overweight and a smoker, I think I'll pass so I can stick around a while longer."

I'm excited to have so many people that can offer support and encouragement and vice versa

wow what a great article, ok the more energy thing is a positive light shed I ahd not heard before.

I agree, it's time to seek outside help if you are not able to discuss it together.

Gook luck Hun! You can do it!

I've been looking for local friends also that hop online each day and keep their food journals updated. Looks like I need to expand nation wide...lol.

Good luck on your goals. I'm also new to the site.

Good luck on your goals. Funny how the weight creeps up on us like that huh.

I also drink green tea thru my work day, but definately not the 17-33 cups mentioned in the above article. Getting up to My 8 - 8oz's a day, I have a couple of cups with a green tea bag...then I drink a plain couple of cups of water...then one with Trigosamine in it for the joint benifits.

I feel like I'm sloshing around trying to drink that much but I'm still trying, it's almost as bad as being preggers and having to run to the bathroom several times a day...lol.

Dawn I love your goal setting here.
