Do one minute of pilates planks every day. Everything will tone. Google How to do a pilates plank. Then do it.

Good luck. Be sure to friend a few people that seem like you, so that you can get the benefit of this great community support. It really does work if you stick with it and keep honest with your daily food diary.

I am sooooo happy for you. And that was a great decision to throw away the scale and have faith in yourself to continue healthy eating. Rock on sister.

Definitely possible. Don't worry about the scale. Put your focus on healthy eating staying under calorie goals, and logging every bite. You will get to where you are going.

Pat yourself on the back. You did it and it looks great on you.

I am not at all like you...more like your mother, but I am glad you got on here and hope you find some buds to keep you going. You can friend me if you want, though I understand you are looking for some mates.

That is great. Each day, walk around the block. Inch up one minute at a time. You are going to love this site because every kind of walking has a place. Even house work. I love to get to register the calorie burn from doing something I had to do already. That rocks. I think the keep is keeping steady like the tortoise. In…

Hot red swim suit with you inside. Cool.

Use this site religiously and you will lose weight. Only do a simple daily walk to lose weight at first. ALWAYS record EVERY BITE. Get some MFP friends. They are truly priceless.

No, but your buns will get firmer and that always looks good.

My friend James_54 :happy: is a great friend to me and I am sure he would be to you too. Plus he is always on task toward his goal. Look him up.

Hey do what you want and find out. Everyone has an opinion. It is your body. What you learn this time you can apply next time since it isn't likely that you will die from your zealous efforts in 14 days.

That comment was ignorance in action. Think what a deficit of spirit that person has and feel sorry for her/him. You can lose weight but that person cannot gain integrity nearly as easily. Come on, you know you are at an unhealthy weight for yourself, so it is really important that you commit to yourself. Get yourself into…

To me it makes sense to ask for what you need from support people, get a few friends on MFP who know your situation and leave the rest of the world to pollice themselves.

BTW: Your pictures are awesome. You are rockin whatever you are doin.

You are looking good and it sounds like feeling good too. Congratulations on making the MFP Community work for you. WTG!

This is one of my favorite long sustaining balanced combos.

I think a balance of fat, carb and protein at every meal and every snack keeps my blood sugar level all day long so I never get a crash. I never eat a carb without also adding a fat and a protein. It's that simple. The balance is the feel full factor for me.

Wow, I am sorry that this is happening. I have been on here for 56 days and haven't seen that negativity you are talking about even once, but then I was thinking maybe that is because I have been being inadvertently insensitive. I have a request of those who feel attacked. Please let the MFP community know how you are…

Here are a few tips for making this work: My husband's propensity for satisfying his sweet tooth and his food desires is not enabling me. My body is my issue, and yours is yours. We have to empower ourselves to take responsibility and not give up our power to the excuse of the "enabling hubby." If he is being inconsiderate…

Welcome. You have instant goal buddies here, so be sure to befriend me so I can cheer you on. Congrats on quitting smoking. My husband quit last fall (he and I forgot to note the actual date and before long we will not be able to remember how many years which I find humorous) and he had smoked for more years than you have…

You will harm yourself longterm; however, short term it is rather meaningless. There have been some good suggestions in everyone's response to you. 1. Men need to eat 1600 to 1800 calories usually (unless your are very small) and eat your "total calories burned" too. 2. Eat a Fat, Carb, Protein balanced diet. 3. Eat two…

I do not eat bakery items at all--no bread, muffins, cookies, cakes. 50 days without a baked good. Feels pretty darned good.

Bump!!!!!

Welcome, this is a great place to help you accomplish your goals. Nothing but support all day every day.

Welcome, if you stick with this log every day you will loss weight. There are lots of great people here, too. By the way, stupid American here: what exactly is a stone in pounds?

I think you are amazing now and that the dress will look hot on you when you get there. No doubts, you will be getting there.

Did you say nine kids? Oh my, you are amazing.

Count me in amongst your supporters. Ce
