Wow! What an amazing loss so far! Welcome to the site, and good luck on your future goals!

Hello and Welcome! :smile: Finding the motivation to get started and then stay on track is, in my opinion, the hardest thing to do. To start with I'd suggest you check out some of the success stories around the site- we have A LOT of them! Other than that, I say friend, friend, friend... there are a lot of amazing ppl on…

Welcome aboard! :happy:

Hello and Welcome! :happy: I hope you find much success here.

I just wanna send a big "Thank You" to everyone for your kind words and support! I never intend for these posts to be boastful, but helpful and encouraging, so it's great to see so many of you taking the inspiration from it. I know when I first started here I used to look at posts like these and say, "Yea, right. Like that…

Aug 8 = 8.5 miles My Total = 46.5 miles GROUP = 449.55 **I likely won't be posting a lot this coming week. I'm going on vacation, and though we have a hike planned for Tuesday, there probably won't be many other opportunities to rack up the miles. See you all later this week or beginning of next! :bigsmile:

Wonderful! You've done an excellent job and are looking absolutely gorgeous. =)

My docs have informed me of the same.

Aug 7 = 5 miles My total = 38 miles GROUP = 361.9

Aug 6 = 4.25 miles My Total = 33 miles Group = 335.9

Error

Aug 4 = 4.25 miles Aug 5 = 8 miles My Total = 28.75 of 80 Group total = 306.45

I only change mine when I'm not happy with my progress. If you're not losing weight or it has slowed down dramatically then you're probably due for a change, but if you're still going strong, don't fix what's not broken.

Right after I wake up, in only underwear. I don't ever weigh with clothes because that particular weight can fluctuate depending on what you're wearing, so you never have an exact idea of what YOU actually weigh. When I weigh in at doc's, I'm always prepared for a two pound difference from my scale.

I'm on Welbutrin XL for depression and hydroxizine for anxiety. I'm not sure those are spelled correctly, but whatever. Anyway, I was put on them in the midst of all this weight loss. I think I had lost almost seventy pounds at the time, and I never once noticed anything that hindered my weight loss in any way. I remember…

August 3= 4.5 miles Total = 16.5 (80 mile goal) GROUP TOTAL = 172.21

Sorry, forgot to update last night. :wink: My August goal: 80 miles August 2= 8 miles My total = 12 miles Group total = 145

So glad you decided to say hi. Now feel free to kick your shoes off and stay awhile :happy: Congrats on the weight loss! I know from experience you have to be truly dedicated to lose that amount of weight, and much more so to do it in that amount of time. Very well done! You should be extremely proud.

MY goal for August: 80 miles Aug 1- 4 miles Total Month- 4 miles GROUP total = 11.75

I was sick 24 hours a day for seven straight months when I was carrying my son.

Love it! Right now I'm doing four miles per day... It'll be interesting to see our numbers as a group!

When I first started my walks, I was walking maybe twenty minutes at a time, less than a mile. I was almost 300 pounds, and though the walks energized me emotionally, they left me physically drained. I pushed thru it, and my walks got longer and longer, faster and faster and I got smaller and smaller, and still for the…

I want to just say before I post my answer that I fully understand and in no way disbelieve that ALL aspects of your food intake are important. Fats, sodium, sugar, carbs, calories, etc. However, my formal opinion on the topic is no, you don't have to worry about every little thing, including fat. I've lost over a hundred…

I've often read that the rule to spaghetti is 2oz dry equals 4oz cooked. I did it this way for awhile in the beginning, and then I got a little experimental. I started cooking my 2oz of dry seperately from the rest, and when I measured it found it was closer to six ounces! I was totally getting ripped off before! lmao :)…

I guess I don't understand why you remove it...??? I have a bunch of piercings and never remove any of them for any reason other than to clean them... If you're thinking the sweat infects it, it shouldn't, but if you really wanna be cautious simply wash it afterwards.

Oh yea, I've found a lot! lol I've got the wrist bones, the hip bones, the ribs, and one prominent collar bone! Who woulda thought there was a real person underneath all that blubber?! :laugh: What amazes me the most, though, is my face. I never knew I had such a strong, square jaw... I literally look like a completely…
