chrissi How hard are you working on your elliptical. Sometimes the huffing and puffing is good. Maybe you should slow it down some and work your way back up to a goal? Have you been checked out by a physician to make sure lubngs and cardio are okay for heavy training? I am just concerned. Keep up the trying though. If you…

Hi Julie, Welcome to the MFP. J-

Dang, that sounds great. You have come a long way. Are you sure you need to loose 18 pounds? Don't want to get down too low. Great job keep up th e good work. That might be the weight you need to be? J-

I love my walks ailso. I do 2 miles at 3.0mph on treadmill 5 days. Then on Saturdays I mow my yard. It takes 1 hour to cover the front and back yards. Then I rest one day a week. I also have noticed my stomacjh going flatter. I feel great too since starting this routine a few months back. The puonds are not coming off very…

I like how I can make people laugh. I am sort of the clown at work. when it gets a little tense in the clinic I will do something off the wall to make people laugh and start talking about it. I like how I can do just about any crafts. I love my relationship with my husband. J-

thanks Mike. This is so cool. J-

i sort of know how you feel. I have lower my calorie intake and upped theexercise. I have read that stress will make you gain weight. so if we are stressing over what we are doing to loose this weight. than it seems we might be fighting a losing battle. so I guess we need to relax and try to enjoy the time we are creating…

thamks Tina5877 for those reasons they are very inspiring. I am putting a copy on my frig and taking a copy to work so others can be inspired also. If that is okay with you? I need all the help I can get. It is positive thinking like this that is keeping me going. Thanks to all you others out there. J-

I have not really watched my protein intake. I sort of eat the same everyday . even on my none workout days. It seems if I try to cut down on the proteins. It takes me more effort the next day to get back on track. If your not gaining, I say stay with what you got going. Of course I am not A pro on the subject. This is…

hey 7 pounds is a great start. What is your goal? Goals give you something to look forward to. I know this is not easy. But beleive me it is worth it. You keep up the good work. I have lost 5 pounds since I started 3 weeks ago. My eating habits are so much better. My goal is 135 to 140 pounds. I am at 179 at this time.…

I started my stepping today. A girl at work got me a podometer after I told my co workers about the website. My co workers are really encouraging me to stay at it. My steps today at work alone were 15,342. No wonder my legs and feet hurt when I get home. I did not realize how much I was on my feet all day. Then I come home…

buy a new wordrobe. I want to be able to go into work smaller size scrubs and be noticed. I also want my leg pains to go away. And to be able to bend over and also get up and down without having to grunt and moan. Janet

thanks for the recipe. This sounds like a great snack. You have inspired me on some new snack ideas. I will also try the rice cakes with peanut butter and other toppings to change things up alittle. Make sure you add to the calorie counter on the meal log in. Good luck with more ideas. and the numbers are very useful.…

I quit smoking november 2006 on smoke out day the 16th. My husband had lung cancer in April of 2005 removed. I have been watching him go through some tough lung surgerys since. About every 4 to 6 months he has to go to the hospital because his lung collapses. Most people would not be able to survive the trouble he has had.…

hey I bought those books also. Maybe I can use some info in them. I wish I had the courage those people on the show do. I guess it helps to have someone there to push a little bit. I guess part of me is a little lazy. I don't want to work that hard. But I keep teeling myself I have got to do something to get something. In…

I quit sodas 3 weeks ago.I was really bad on the diet cokes. I have replaced with crystal light packets for bottle water. I really like the fruit punch. Only 5 calories per bottle of water. It is really good. Tastes really sweet. I really don't miss the sodas now. Also quit smoking last November on smoke out day. Thinner

great job. Kepp it up. I do know it is hard to get back on tract, but you can do it. That was a nice splurge for you. Losesome more and splurge for yourself again. Make a goal maybe after 5 to 10 pounds lost , treat yourself again. Keep in touch and let me know how it goes.

from seagoville,Texas
