Those are wonderful suggestions, and I should have thought of some of them on my own! Thank you all, sooo much! I'm going out and getting myself some nuts and fruits!

Not quite as bad as fb - YET. If I could get the forums on the android app, then it would be as bad, if not worse! But I don't always get access to the computer, which makes it difficult to get in here, but yeah... guilty!!

Stomach and hips! Lordy, I have wide hips! (One of the reasons my last husband married me... good baby carrier)

If this is not something that you've done your whole life, and if you don't have the motivation of an athlete, it will feel like work and you will more than likely not want to do it... with the feeling that it feels like work. (if that makes sense) I recently watched "Vision Quest" and was reminded that we need a passion…

Have you thought about making dinner for lunch and eating what you would normally eat for lunch for dinner? I used to cook for the family and make myself a plate. But instead of eating what I made, I set my plate aside, wrapped it and saved it for lunch the next day. At dinner time, I would eat a sandwich and some fruit.…

Congratulations!!! I was overweight with all three of my pregnancies. (granted I was much younger then!) With the first one, I walked a lot and was able to only gain 16 pounds during the entire pregnancy (never lost one pound during any of the weigh-ins... but more often than not, my weight stayed the same until the last…

So I went to do my 6 burpees for the first shift, and realized I had the house to myself so I did all 12 at one time!!!! I'm not going to lie to you... it was hard. I did the first 8 eazy breezy, and getting to 10 was okay... wasn't sure I was going to make it to 12 but since it was MY personal goal, I pushed and I DID IT!!

I was able to successfully complete all 10 burpees yesterday! Today's goal... 12. I haven't even done my 6 yet... well... stop writing and get burpee'ing... Here I go!

My thought was, "Oh man, it can't possibly be time to get up, can it?" But I looked over my shoulder and sure enough, there was my dog, Samantha, waiting for me to wake up so I could feed her. Then I could hear the cat mewing that she was hungry tooo.. So then my next thought was, "Where's Snuggles?" Cuz Snuggles is about…

Oh thank you all soo much!! On days that I stay very busy, I have a hard time getting even 1000 calories into my system. Today, I had to have two pulled pork sandwiches just to get above 1000. Sacrifice, I know, but one I'm willing to make!! (teehee) :bigsmile: I truly appreciate all your help!! :flowerforyou:

One a Day Women's multi vitamin, B-Complex, Glucosamin with MSM (for joints), and 1000mg of Vitamin C, and 2 arthritis strength Tylenol ... every day!!

From what I could gather from the article that I read, they will be tracked in the strength area opposed to the cardio area. They do burn calories, but we won't be doing them long enough to record the calories burned.

Okay.. this sounds like fun! I'm in!

Oh yeah... I'm right there with ya! I didn't realize - altho I should've - how MANY calories I was consuming on a daily basis until I started keeping track of it. The good news is the better the food is for you, the better the calories are. Your 110 calorie banana, for instance, is better for you than a 90 calorie Rice…

Oh.. one last thing... how do we track them in our exercise diary??? How many calories are burned, do you think??

Okay, so my big stomach totally gets in the way... even the beginner burpee was difficult to do. It looks so much easier watching a thin person do them! :ohwell: But this is what I figured out... I will start with 5 in the morning and 5 in the evening and add one each day until - hopefully - by the end of the week, I'll be…

Okay... I'm feeling more motivated now! Thank you to all ya'll that chimed in to encourage me to do this! I WILL DO THIS!!! (Even if it kills me!) LOL :laugh: :laugh: :ohwell:

I have a 34 ounce cup that I fill at least 2 times a day. I try for more, but sometimes I'm just not thirsty so I don't think about it.

I heard the rule of thumb is half your body weight in ounces is what you should be drinking in water, so it's different for everyone. The 8 - 8oz glass rule is a slippery guideline and actually includes all fluids that you take in everyday.

Are you kidding me???? Have you seen me?? I don't think I can even do that with my arthritic knee! Not that I won't try... but don't expect me to do it like the video shows it being done!!!

I don't like flying bugs... i hate it when bugs land on me and bite me. I hate it when they land on my face, especially. that is all.

PERFECT!! That's what I think. If I had a body like that, I'd sit naked in the refrigerated section of the supermarket!!! LOL :laugh: Seriously, tho... I will never have that body so I'm extremely envious of the women who do, and those who can!!!

OMG... the lunch meat wrapped around cheese is soooo me!!!! I hear ya! Altho I have never awakened in the middle of the night to binge eat, I have stayed up very late to do it. Sometimes I'll even go for a spoonful of peanut butter if I have run out of ham and cheese. How do we get rid of them? Dunno... when you find out,…

Congratulations!!! Gives this newby peace of mind knowing that if it's working for someone else, it very well might work for me too!!!

Can I get the number of your friend who likes the full-figured women?? LOL j/k Seriously, I have the kind of body that is naturally curvy... I always tell people, if you could see my figure, I have an hourglass shape. Right now, my shape is round! LOL

Wishing you the best of luck! You can add me if you'd like... I'm learning the more friends I have here, the more well wishes I am getting, the better I am doing!!! Get as many friends as you can!!! And good luck!

Oh easy... I was shopping at a grocery store.. I was at or very near my heaviest weight .... a young boy sitting in the shopping cart said very loudly to his mom, "WOW, SHE'S REALLY FAT!" really loud. I dropped like 40 pounds after that!

I would love to try Aqua Zumba! Wish there was a class around me somewhere, but this is the first I've even heard of it... will have to start looking for it!! Thanks!
