Sleep. I get up at 2:15am to work out and got to bed around 8 or 9.

I think everyone who is overweight has thought that at one time or another, I know I have...numerous times! I like to look at my life as a path and occasionally I get off the path and it is hard to find it again but the path is always there. I just have to remember to keep going forward. Good luck!

Losing weight can't ruin a relationship. All change shines a light on things and sometimes it is a light that we don't want shined or didn't know could shine and it makes you re-evaluate things. If a husband leaves a wife because she got thin or vice versa that marriage had issues to begin with, it wasn't the weight, loss…

I have tattoos and my ears are pierced. I have never been drawn to body piercings but I don't have a problem with them. I think what is ugly is people's attitudes towards them, whether it be pro or con. I know people who think because they are pierced and tattooed they are totally bad *kitten* and that just isn't the case,…

And wait...why is it shallow to want to look your best and put your best foot forward? Looking good on the outside can play amazing tricks with your mind. There have been days when I was feeling down and all it took was putting on a cute outfit and doing my hair and make up and my outlook changed. There is nothing shallow…

Watch What Not to Wear on TLC and buy Stacy London's book The Truth About Style. Stacy and Clinton are geniuses! I also agree about looking at magazines and things like that. Just try new things and see what works and what doesn't. Take some chances and see what you like. I love clothes, shoes, and makeup. It's all about…

I am 47 and have battled with weight issues most of my adult life but I have recenly lost 27 and hope to lose about 35 more. It doesn't come quickly, that is for sure, but I feel like I am on a path and that path will eventually lead me to a place where I want to be...fit and healthy. I will never look like a 20 year old…

You can do this! Work your own path, decide what works for you. Fell free to add me as a friend.

23 lbs is not easy to do! Congratulations! I think it's awesome and you look great!

I am a grandma and mostly the grand kids call me by my first name, Peggy, or they call me Grandma Peggy. I let them decide what they are most comfortable with. There is nothing like it when I pull up to their house and the 3 year old granddaughter comes running out yells "Peggy!" Congratulations on becoming a grandma, it…

I have lost 27 lbs in 6 months and I am quite happy with my progress. I have about 35 more lbs to go but if it takes me a year so be it. Remember, slow and steady wins the race. Don't let anyone tell you that you should be doing it faster, this is your path. I say keep doing what you are doing and know that the small…

I have been married twice, both times by a Justice of the Peace. I don't regret it. I didn't want or need that kind of stress in my life. The first marriage we had a small party with family and with my marriage I am in now we got together with our kids after and went and had pizza. Do whatever you want and what makes you…

I usually tip my tattoo artist 20-25%. I figure she is doing something very permanent on my body...I want her happy! One more session and my back piece will be done! Yay! No more for me, they hurt too much!

That is awesome! Congratulations! There is nothing like new clothes to make you feel like a new person!

I wear it every day. I take it off at night and sleep with a clean face. I like my face with or without make-up but feel like I am completely ready and ready to head out when I have makeup on. I don't think not wearing makeup makes you a bum or lazy and it also doesn't make you somehow more pure or natural or less vain.…

Great post! I love this! I have to continually remind myself that it's about progress, not perfection. Thanks for posting this!

I agree 100% with this! I got through it. Some weeks I had to do twice but I eventually did it. I finished in July and am still running.

I always thought I was too tired to exercise too. I work 4 days a week, 10 hour days, and have a 3 hour commute every day. I started getting up at 2:30am and working out for 20 minutes. It was tough at first but I knew that if I exercised in the morning if I was too tired after work at least I got something in. This last…

Thank god I no longer have a uterus!

I finished Couch 2 5k in August. It's a great program! I have never been a "runner" and now I am. I did a 5k with my daughter in June and I think me, my daughter, and grandson are going to do one this spring. Don't give up, it is well worth it! If you have to repeat a week don't feel bad, I had to repeat a week (Week 6 or…

I am quite the clothes horse and I continually get rid of clothes and buy new clothes even if they are just slightly too big. Good fitting clothes are key for me. If I look and feel good I am more likely to stay the course. I have found that a few classic pieces intermixed with pieces from places like Ross, TJMaxx, Target,…

About 4 glasses on a bad day and about 10 on a good day. I have a hard time with just plain water though so I often add flavoring.

That's an amazing story! Congratulations!

Hi I am Peggy. I have been using MFP for awhile, not on a real regular basis. I have never joined a group until this one and I only have one friend on here because I have no idea how or who to add LOL I haven't really used MFP to it's full potential but I want to start. I live in Northern Nevada and work at a mine. I am…
