<<< Not a doctor (disclaimer) but I would: Steam myself first and clear my airways.. Exercise lightly.. nothing too strenuous.. and I'd Keep hydrated. If I felt really weak, or feverish, I wouldn't exercise but get plenty of rest. This is a life style change.. not a race. Good health to you! :smile:

Gaining weight .. hm? .. How about eating more red meat.. I heard it puts on the bulky muscle tissue.

Great jpb!! Keep determined and happy new found health to you!

Keep trying harder and you'll find MFP friends that will support you too! STAYING POSITIVE! :wink:

Chew gum and drink a bottle of water.. Sometimes that little bit of sugar and the full feeling of the water will do. BE STRONG! YOU CAN DO THIS!! :smile:

Honey baked salmon is MMMM MMMM GOOD! .. except for the sugar count. Lemon and herbs are great too. Try this.. It'll do the trick! 1/4 cup organic raw honey 1/4 cup(s) lemon juice 2 teaspoon oil, vegetable 1 teaspoon rosemary, crushed 1 teaspoon lemon peel, grated 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon black pepper BON APPETITE!…

Log.. you'd be surprised how well you keep CLOSER to your calorie goals than if you don't log. Expect to splurge a little bit but that's ok too .. ENJOY and Safe Trip to You! :smile:

Congrats!! 50 pounds is a lot or weight .. and we're all on this journey.. let's walk it a bit faster :smile:

I agree with Faulkners407 2 whites 1 yolk :happy:

Great job.. Keep up the good work and don't let your family stop you. NO EXCUSES.. just go go go! :wink:

Sitting down watching Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley was my downfall when dad would break out the Hershey's Chocolate bar with almonds and we'd have our "dessert" while watching tv.. Good memories.. but bad habits :sad:

EXCELLENTLY SAID!

@Briancox2013 Your font is so sexy! :laugh:

Hey everyone.. i'm in that same situation.. if anyone wants to look at my diary i'm open to suggestions Thanking you in advance! :happy:

I have lots of friends but notice that my "fat" friends have been shying away from me.. Why? Maybe because they dont like seeing someone else succeed? Or... It's because they're scared I might bring up the weight loss subject.. So now, I've decided to continue with my TRUE friends, whatever size they come in!

BUMP

Being self reliant leads to SUCCESS ! :happy:

Big Daddy does it all ? :wink:

What drinks are being served? :drinker:

I don't think putting your city and state information is enough to stalk a person.. That's not specific enough unless you live in a very small rural area.. I'm a 145K population City girl :smile:

OH BABY!!! .. (thinking..... yes, Yes, YESSSSSSSSS!") But saying .. no, No, NOOOOOOO FREAKIN' WAY!! WOO HOO .. I'm FREEEEEEEEEE!! :love:

LIVE, LOVE, BACON

I have stopped diet coke and other soda recently. I prefer natural drinks, most of all water. The cravings dissipate after about a month.

1 hour 2X a week cardio 45 min 3x a week cardio weight machines twice a week

After being married in 1987 (@ 20 YO) my husband turned from the affectionate boyfriend of a five year relationship to this horrible jealous monster and I immediately gained 40 pounds in the first two years of our marriage to hide from the opposite sex. If I had been a stronger woman, perhaps I could have dealt with this…

I am proud today because i'm down 2 more pounds and have exercised 5 times this week. Wooo hoooooo !! :wink:

Swimming is the best exercise because of the cardio benefits and the weightlessness on the joints. I would keep that idea in the forefront. As a matter of fact, i'm biking and running now, but when summer gets here i'm doing nothing but swimming. :happy:

Agreed, I'm guessing some people get irritated quite easily and frequently. :laugh:

I pay more attention to the meaning of the statements ..

Proud proud proud of you and thank you for inspiring me.. I am at your old weight and size and love that you found results here over a years time.. THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS!
