I started roller skating with my friend. We are 38. It took a few times before I got the hang of it again. However it is fun, and you don't feel like you are exercising. I lost 30 pounds doing this two times a week for an hour and a half each session. Great fun, and great results. :)

WOW you look AWESOME!!!!! Great Job!!!! Thanks for posting ;) I needed to see your pics today :) great motivation :)

Hi Carolynn Welcome to Oregon :) If you like to hike there are some great places to hike in the gorge. If you take I-84 east, past Troutdale you will find lots of cool places.

You looked beautiful in your before pics, and you look beautiful in your after pics too :) Great Job!!!!

WOW!!!!!!! you are so amazing!!!!!! Thank you for sharing with us :)

Sounds a lot like how I felt when I had pneumonia. If you don't get checked out by the doctor, you could end up in the hospital. that will cost you much much more. Go to the doctor.

Wow that is so cool!!! I have it set on my DVR!!!!

Thanks so much girlruns :) i did end up getting diagnosed with ADD, and found out that binge eating is common with this disorder. it goes along with the impulsive behavior part of the disorder. Still learning lots about it. Hoping that I can finally find some peace with all of this. Sounds like you husband is doing great.…

Love the video!! You look so beautiful in all of your photos. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You are a great motivator :)

there is such a thing as binge eating disorder. I have it. It is not about not having will power. If you feel that you may have this I would recommend that you speak with your doctor. Your doctor can help you figure out your best way to deal with this. Binge eating disorder is a very difficult thing to deal with. I totally…

Thank you all so much for your help. I am trying to figure all this stuff out, and your experience is so helpful to me.

I have the Polar F7, and it is great. I mainly use it to keep track of my calories, and my heart rate. I also have a Polar F11, which was much more expensive. It does a bunch more things, but I figured out that all I really wanted to track was my calories and HR.

So I am getting really nervous. I received my referral in the mail to go to the dermatologist. It said that I need to call and make an appointment with them. However they said that their wait to be seen is about six weeks. I am very worried that if this is cancer that waiting six weeks could be very bad. Does anyone have…

Thanks everyone for giving me such great support :) I really appreciate it.

Thanks everyone for all of the great tips :)

It is great to have others to talk to about this. It is very tiring to always have food on your mind. Today I had a good day. I worked out, and burned about 600 calories. I love how I am able to eat more when I exercise.

hey all :) Sorry I haven't been posted in a while. I have had family staying with me. This sure didn't help my binging. I did okay last week. I worked out all week, and ate okay. However, with the stress of having the family staying with us, I had a bad eating weekend. I feel yucky now. I hate that feeling. My family has…

Thanks for your info :)

I'm in :) I would like to lose around 75 Lbs. I started out at 227. I lost 40 Lbs., but I have gained some of it back now :( I now weigh around 204.

Love the pic of Mult.Falls:)

I am surprised that it was so easy for her to take a child on board that wasn't hers. I have never taken my kids on a plane yet, so maybe I am unfamiliar with the procedure,

I totally agree with you! I would have been sooooo mad!

I would love to join this group. I have been dealing with this as well. I can do fine all day at work, and then when I come home I eat for about two hours. I keep telling myself that I need to stop this, but if there is something sweet in the house I feel like I need to eat it until its gone. I also will eat pretty much…

I wish people would take this more serious. I too use to go tanning, I too would rather be tan than white. However, after watching my husband almost die from cancer, I have a different opinion on tanning booths. I think people tend to put their head in the sand until it happens to them. Cancer is not a fun way to die.

That's how I felt when I first started. I started out slow. I started by just roller skating with a friend. Then I started just doing 5 minutes on the treadmill, or the elliptical. Every few days I would challenge myself by adding more time, and higher levels. Now I can do 1.5 hours of cardio just fine. I have also brought…

Thank you for you advice :)

During my binges I will eat anything. I even sometimes eat stuff that I don't even like. I like carbs and salty foods.

I have done it pretty slow. It has taken me about a year. I work out at the gym about five days a week. Thank you :)
