I used to work in LTC as an LPN before I got my RN, nd believe it or not - we were busy!! My current job is a lot less stressful with more of set times to eat, etc. my reccomendation for throughout the day is something like mentioned above - string cheese, Greek yogurt, or nuts. They pack a decent amount of protein and are…

I love this thread! Just started my journey, but I can't wait to have NSV's like these!

I wouldn't advise it but what do I know... (for future reference, any mention on this site about starting a "fad" diet is likely to get you a LOT of flack from most people). Most people are on here cuz they've tried fad diets for years, and know that they are never a long-term fix. So the people on here are not that…

24 from arkansas - feel free to add me! My second major attempt to lose 80 lbs. I am currently down 13, and just today signed up at a gym, and with a personal trainer... welcome motivation, encouragement, advice, from anyone. My diary is open... Please do include a small message with request.

"love is all around" by Joan Jhett and the blackhearts - just wish it were longer!

so I'm not anywhere near my goal, but here is a before/during pic for you. :)

keep at it! If you are doing things right, you'll eventually see a change. Also, I've been doing HIIT training. If you wanna try it, bodyrock.tv is a great place to get started. They have daily workouts, each of them 30 min or less - usually less. And they WORK! My tip for the day. :)

Oh, it was! :)

good job!

thank you all. :) I needed that encouragement tonight. :)

yes, I am. :) Black powder hand gun that my brother owns. Very old, I might add, and even more noisy. :)

Thanks for the encouragement! My biggest struggle will be to keep going. :) MFP will help me out there, I think. Good luck to you as well.

thanks guys!

"just keep swimming, just keep swimming..." (sorry, couldn't help but quote Dorie there. :) Good job!

love, love the very last "after" pic of you. you look adorable in that dress. :) I'm very jealous. :)

you are my inspiration! You started at the same weight I did, and you are maintaining in the same range as my goal weight. Thanks for this - it was just what I needed today. So excited to see that you could do it in a years time. If you can do it in 1 year with 3 kids, I as a single woman, should also be able to do it in…

I guessed myself 7.5% too big. And who knew that I had an hourglass shape? I'm gonna have to work a bit to bring out the best view of the hourglass though. :)

In three months... hmm. I want to be able to go to my gym and do the entire 1 hour workout with my trainers and not feel like I'm gonna die, or that I have to modify some of the exercises so that they are low-impact for me. I want to have lost 30 lbs, and right now I think that's pretty achievable. Hopefully I will be able…

wow, what an inspiration! Can't wait till I'm there...

This is my story in a nutshell. I lost 20 lbs in 3 months, and that was eating mostly what I wanted (did cut out soda tho), and not working out at all. I was in nursing school at the time and literally sat on my butt in class for 8 hours every day, then came home and studied, so sat on my butt even more, so no exercise at…

This thread is killing me! Probably the funniest fart story I have ever read is this one. Seriously had me crying with laughter so bad that it took me forever to actually finish reading it. http://hahasforhoohas.com/the-fart-that-almost-altered-my-destiny

Thanks so much! I don't mind the long post - I wanted lot's of ideas... :)

I've been hearing about the green smoothies for some time, will def. have to try them! Juicing is a great idea as well. In fact, you all posted great ideas. I'll get started on some of them right away!

Thanks for the tips!

girl, i just found my inspiration to keep going! You are AMAZING! I have about the same amt to lose, and at times it looks so unatainable...
