Amazing...how we are all so critical about ourselves. I look at myself now and I "know" that I am not fat but I find so many other things that I don't like about my appearance that I think I look horrid. Horrible stretch marks on my belly, icky neck (to me), what the hell is going on with my deflated breasts (won't even go…

bump, just watched the first ep, very interesting.

Excellent question! I too have two scales, one being digital. The digital is about 4-5 pounds heavier than the one I was using previously. I have no idea which is correct, but I am guessing that is the digital because anytime I would use a scale somewhere else it would always say I was heavier than the one at home, so I am…

garlic mmmmmmmmmmmm YUM! Is there really such a thing as too much garlic. I haven't found it.

Today was day 1 of week 3 for me of c25k and as far as logging goes I have been using a pedometer app on my phone that I use to record total time, distance, and speed. I log the avg speed for the time on mfp and it is usually pretty close to what the pedometer tells me I am burning. So far I have been averaging 4.5 or 5…

White Lake checking in, plus representing Hazel Park too where I work :D

Holy Crap!!! Are we married to the same man?!?!? My hubby adores Walking Dead and now I watch it too, because I am in the room when it is on. And I swear, I can't even be on the same floor of our house while he is killing Nazi Zombies on the dumb @SS game.

Hi, I am 5'4" and 45 years hold. I started at 166 and am current at 127. I was originally aiming for 118 (I am rather small framed), but now am thinking that 122 may be as small as I should go. If I don't lose any more that will be fine too. Right now I just want to get toned and build endurance more than anything else.

Hey snowflake, how'd you get a picture of MY cat??? Oz wants his pic back

Chiming in with the WOW!!! Absolutely amazing. It isn't just the weight loss, you look so fit and healthy now! I just recently started C25K, and I wanna be you!!!!! Congratulations, you deserve all the kudos were and then some.

^^THAT^^ Guinness is where it is at! Filling, tastes great, and not a lot of calories!!!! Life is good!

COLIN FIRTH<<<----yes shouty caps. For those of you who don't get it, it is the WAY he can "look" at a woman. Also crushing on Richard Armitage and Rupert Penry-Jones

US (Michigan--Go Blue), but am a total anglophile and really wish I lived on the other side of the pond!

sounds interesting :-)

And Colin Firth, La Sigh!!!!! Now with him in mind as Mr Darcy......pardon me while I wipe the drool off my keyboard......

This makes me so very sad as it is my all time favorite book on the planet. I love it. I love it. I love it!!! Thank God, for different colors in the rainbow ;-)

I LOVE to read and will read just about anything and everything, but the one book I absolutely could not get through.... Moby ****, seriously WHY?!?!?!?!

bump, i need this thread!!!

Excellent question and the answer is I have NO idea. I had a pysch prof once, skinny as a rail, and he talked about how he ate every hour (something small<----grazing) from 6am to 6pm and not a moment after. I have no idea why that stuck with me but it stuck and when I started my epic journey to fitness I incorporated this…

I seriously think I am backwards at times. My daughter I did not worry too much about. I knew she could take care of herself and she did (mostly, a few bruises but nothing seriously). She still has a long way to go, as she is only twenty and off at college. But as she is living with her boyfriend in a one bedroom…

^this^ Right on! I will never be 18 again, and frankly that is a good thing, I just want to be as fit and healthy as I can. That was not working for me at 165 (5'4"), nor did it work for me at 140 (in the normal range). I want to be build my endurance and tone. I still look at weight, but it is not my driving force. I…

too many to count, but that's why I teach math :wink:

It damn well better not! I just had a mini snickers blizzard and I am NOT guilty about it at all. It was delicious and a rare treat. Life is short, enjoy the moments!

Unfortunately it will NOT be to get my belly button pierced. WAY too many stretch marks from my two beautiful kids. No way I want to draw attention to or show that area. Yes I want a toned flat tummy, but it will remain covered in public :-(. My reward, maybe a new tattoo ;-)

You are very brave and strong to post. I totally understand where you are coming from and your husband sounds like a dear! I am sure that you will find the support that you need here, it is a wonderful place to come for motivation. You go girl!

The Maize and Blue! Let's go Michigan!!!!

Congratulations! that is definitely a NSV! Soooo true! I just had mine resized a couple of months ago because I was seriously afraid it was going to fall off and I was going to lose it. It was scary having is sized down because it really cements that this is a lifetime commitment.

These sound amazing, I am soooo going to make these this week!

LOL, now that is funny!

45 and feeling better than ever
