I just began running this week (C25K), and this helps a LOT. Thank you! :flowerforyou:

Mine is currently a mobile phone ad. Makes sense... AND an ad for medical mobility. Um, I'm 35. Idk where that came from! Lol

How inspiring! You look awesome!

What she didnt say!

Congrats- you're looking fantastic! I can't wait for the day when I have after pics like this! :-)

Oh, wow, this Is sweet. Happy almost Independence day to you as well. I'm so very very proud to be an American, and very blessed by our troops. Thank you for the job you do.

Bump- thanks!

You can go here: http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew and get access to a lot of recipes. You can also use the search engine on that page to look for something specific. I have a cookbook of her's, so I'm not that familiar with the website, but this can get you started.

1. If you aren't used to eating that type of food, then it's going to make you feel sick after you eat it. 2. You've worked so hard and come so far-- don't all those past successes deserve your best efforts now? 3. They're expensive. I mean, really, you could save that money to buy a cute piece of costume jewelry! 4. You…

lol I do agree with you, LadyHawk! =) When I struggled and was MIA for a couple of months, I kept thinking about my friends on here and how I was letting them down. One of the most upsetting things when I came back was the knowledge that one friend had been facing very similar struggles as me during the entire time, but…

Loved it! Things going through my mind (when I walk): Please, God, don't let either of my dogs poop in someone's yard Oh, I hope Ariel doesn't try to attack other dogs- better walk another route so we don't see those dogs that are always loose I sure hope I don't need to go to the bathroom once I get halfway there Oh! That…

I might be unhappy with them eventually, but I've got too many other body issues right now to deal with. Hating my boobs can take their turn after hating my belly (too much) and butt (not enough). Once my belly is smaller, they'll lose their best support system, so then I can obsess over them. Probably add my arms and…

Ahem, I'm a real friend! :-)

I totally feel ya! I joined in April of 2010, hung out a month, lost around 10 lbs, then was MIA until January of this year. I worked until March and lost 19 lbs (from my original April '10 date), then sorta fizzled out again. And then I came back last week. I bascially have lost and regained the same 9-10 pounds for a…

I took phenedrine (sp?) in my 20s (it is half of the infamous phen-fen combo), and I'm fairly sure it is still available by prescription. It killed my appetite, and I lost about 40lbs. I didn't do anything to change my eating habits... well, no, that's not true. I changed them, since I had no appetite. I was a senior in…

I prefer to look at it as "frenemies." You know, keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer? But I've decided to go Mafia on my fat, and give it some concrete shoes so I don't have to worry about keeping it so close anymore. It was really getting on my nerves. :-p

I've always struggled with this is as well, but I've read so much that says how important eating breakfast is for weight loss, that I just can't ignore all the information. One of the recent things I read was to have a piece of fruit within 20 minutes of getting up. I choose something small, like a peach or a couple of…

If it is working for you, don't worry about it! If, at some point in the future, you find you need to make some modifications, that might be one area you look at (among others), but fruit has so much more value than a poptart or donut or other sugary food, so I say forget about it and eat your delish fruit!

Wow, that's incredible! My mom used to always say when I was younger "can't never could, 'cause won't wouldn't let it!" I bet she and your grandmother would have gotten along!

Sounds delish! I never learn either, so definitely keeping this recipe around! :flowerforyou:

And what he said. And what everyone else is saying! :tongue:

What she said!

I am in the same boat, and although I'd love to lose down to having a hot, very toned body, I'm doing this to be healthy. That's the point, for me. I know you've said a lot of other things, many of them positive, but this just really bothered me. Not because I'm judging you, but because I want you to be able to find the…

You're such an inspiration! I'm so proud of you for all you've achieved, and your determination to continue at it. Thanks for sharing. And fantastic job!!! :smile:

I am sorta the same. If I can't control WHAT food is around me, I try to make sure everyone else eats it so I don't!

This is fantastic- congrats, and thanks for sharing. Such an inspiration! :happy:

Well, it has been a tough, tough past week for me. Two MRIs, taking my A-Team to the state quiz bowl competition for the weekend, and I haven't managed to live up to anything I set my mind to do. Maybe someone else should move their picture to the main challenge spot, because I know I haven't represented at ALL. *hangs…
