There's something to really celebrate...even if it is mid-week. It's a milestone and something to inspire you to hit your next one! Enjoy the fruits of your labor on Labor Day weekend :)

Chin up FitMummy! Give yourself time to heal. I am unable to work out in the way that I wish I could, but I modify what I can do and for now I know its my personal best. Do you have access to a pool? You might able to do some of what you usually do in water without the impact? I know walking isn't the same as those…

Big, small, embarrsing or not...enjoy the moment :)

Maybe I'm not giving myself and the tools available enough credit. I have tomorrow off and I'm staying home to work on a few house things and I'll do some research on this too. Some very good calorie free food for thought. Thanks for the support.

I will look into crunch time. se correct me if I am wrong but the couch to 5K is more about getting you into running, and running isn't a goal for me because of my sciatic issue. I started walking at 3.0 and have raised myself to 3.5 on a 4% incline for 45 minutes. I am ok where I am at there with my heart rate. Is there…

I am now stuck in the gym contract for a 11 more months. I am ok with the gym part..its just figure out how to get the assistance with the strength training that I struggle with. I live in an area where there are a lot of gyms. I am hoping to be in a maintence mode by next year instead of where I am now. My doctor…

I like Jimmy John's so much better than Subway when having to eat out in a pinch............. That will take a whole sandwich and wrap it in lettuce for an "unwich"................Sooo good. [/quote] There is a Jimmy's that's in Conshohocken. Not in the same shopping center like Subway but an option I can consider. I don't…

You look so healthy! Congratulations on your success!

These are great suggestions...especially the hollowing out of the roll. I can have 45 grams of carbs per meal and I am thinking I might right around there eatting 1/2 the roll. Agreed that the sodium is high but I find its impossible to track fat,sugar, carbs, sodium, etc all at once. I pick whats most important to me…

Inspiring with a very realistic plan..I love that!

I hope in a year I can post a similar post! Congratulations!

I have been drinking (and logging) the Skinny Girl Margaritas and Sangria. It is 35 calories per ounce which doesn't sound like much but that added up quickly since its premixed. I also like Pinnacle Whipped Cream vodka and diet gingerale. The vodka has 132 calories per 1.5 ounce pour and the diet ginger ale has none. I…

It's a sign that our bodies are happy with the better food and smaller portions we are feeding it. It's hard to deal with our foodie friends and family that don't get it. Thankfully there is a place to vent were people do get it!

I love walking because....I don't. I hate walking but its something I am doing because I want to be healthy. I do like that my gym has tv's on the treadmills and big fans blowing all of over the place. Makes walking 200% more tolerable! Wondering if I'll ever cross to the darkside and enjoy walking like the rest of you.

I've been playing with the calorie counter before I eat to help me plan better. Has helped..but lets face it. It's hard to say no to good cake when its sitting in front of you. Good for you for keeping it real with your diary.

When did this happen! Glad you are ok?

Go you!

I've got several and I plan to keep it that way :)

I would love to find someone to date who also enjoys going to the gym. I see a lot of couples working out and I think thats cool. Where he is in his fitness process wouldn't matter much to me (says the girl who still is in the starting phase).

I am exactly where you are. I currently do 3-4 days of cardio for 45-60 minutes. I was to start adding this in but am almost 'scared' of that area of the gym.

I've never been married, but I was in a long term 'living in sin relatoinship' for 5 years. What I learned that relationship is that the behaviors you establish in the begining tend to carry on throughout the relationship. Changing the dynamics is harder then I had expected. I for some reason really enjoyed taking car of…

Name?Robyn Age?: 38 singe, taken?: Single and still recovering from the last one... kids?: none Something that most people don’t know about you: I have a severe aversion to lemons....I mean really severe. Also, I work in the IT disaster recovery field and know that my world about to be rocked by this witch named Irene.

I've seen Ronnie get trashed, but I'm not sure I've ever really seen any of the other guys do so. I think they have the moderation thing in tact down. They also GTL so they can lots of extra calories they get to use up each day.

I didn't realize that my list was so long..but I guess it is.. and damn it I'm worth it! -My financial and intellectual equal (a girl can dream) -Understanding of my health goals (If he isn't that wouldn't work right now) -Man that will let me hold the remote control (I am willing to give up a lot, but my remote control is…

Welcome.. MFP is a great place for support, calorie counting, exercise tracking...but NOT carb tracking! The carb counter ups your carbs everytime you enter a cardio work out. You can't change this in the settings. Unforutnatly as diabetics that makes the food counter not as helpful. The counter also ups your calorie…

I pay 19.99 a month and I think thats cheap. I really focus on the treadmill and the bike. Some gyms are meat markets..mines not. I did have to sign a one year contract, thats how most work where I live. I am sorry that your husband wont let you join. I would want my mate to trust me and to support me in getting healthy.…

Thank you for sharing your story. Your courage gives me courage.

I have been working out for about three weeks in my sketchers and know its time to get some more appropriate shoes. I went to the mall last night and tried on some new balance running shoes. My intention was to buy them but they were a $150.00 and I wasn't sure if they felt like they were supposed to as I had never really…

I am about 5'9 and at the begining of my weight loss. I can't wait to have this problem! I'll be watching for early research.

I say take your food diary, print it out, and make an appointment with your primary dr or even your obgyn. Hopefully you are comfortable enough to share it with him or her. If you honestly know you are eatting the right foods you need to have your thyriod checked along with a few other things that the doctor can suggest.…
