Good Luck to you aswell :flowerforyou:

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I wondered if it was due to the fact that 95% of my diet atleast is from whole foods now. None the less my body is feeling healthier than ever and that's the main thing.

I'm trying to take out the dairy.

Good Luck :smile:

I like to have 1 cup of All Bran Flakes, 1/4 cup of All Bran Original, 3/4 Milk, with berries for breakfast. It's about 220 calories and close to half the daily required iron. Then I amke up the rest with my meat and leafy greens.

I love to hear stories like yours. My husband has been involved in coaching Wheelchair tennis for the last 8 years, and one of his athletes once told me that he did not consider himself physically disabled, as much as he considers himself mentally able. More people need to be like you, and realize that it is all about…

I've always wondered wher it goes! That was a great article. Makes it easier to think of food as fuel.

Good Luck....but if you use this site well you won't need any luck :flowerforyou:

Thank you all for your thoughts. It's nice to know that you're not the only person out there who has gone through this. Good Luck to everyone :flowerforyou:

:happy: Sometimes you will loose alot in a short period of time......but don't be discouraged if you don't see a big difference for a couple of weeks after. Good Luck

You've come to the right place!!! Good Luck....there will always be someone here to listen :flowerforyou:

I'll definately have to check Walmart. Thank you for all the tips!!

You've come to the right place!! Good Luck with your journey :flowerforyou:

I have a couple of pilates vidoes, but I've heard good things about the Jillian DVD before. I'll have to try it. Thank you

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and I need some advice as to things that I can do from home. I'm starting to run evry night with my dog, though my body isn't quite allowing me to run as far as my mind would like, I think eventually it will catch up. But in the meantime, what are some other things that…

I definately find it to be one of my downfalls. That's why I joined the challenge to not eat past 7:30. I'm also trying to go to bed earlier, so to help stop cravings while I'm watching t.v..

I'm waaaaay late on joining this one...but I'm in for 7:30p.m.!!!

I'm definately getting excited to be back on this lifestyle journey!!! Best wishes to everyone!!!!

Welcome back!!! I have just come back myself and isn't it great to know everyone is still here to support us!!!

You do have to make it an effort at first...but eventually your body will want it. Every once in awhile I'll drink Perrier just for something different.

We've all had a bad weekend now and then. We just have to remember that tomorrow is always a new day !!!!

I'm so glad to be back on.....this is why I started in the first place!!!

I'm back and unfortunately so is all the weight I had lost. I'm sooooooo disappointed that I let all my hard work go to waist (I know it's spelled waste), literally! I thought that going back to work wouldn't be so hard, but it's so easy to get a sausage sandwich with my tea, or going out for lunch or not eating lunch and…

It's been a few weeks since I've been on. It's summer, so of course things have been crazy. Money was tight so I had to put my membership on hold, however I recently was accepted into a YMCA internship program and I now have a free Y membership. YEAH!!!! In the meantime, I fell off the wagon. After noticing I had gained…

DO NOT think of yourself as weak!! It takes a very strong person to realize that they need help in the first place. You and Manda are both in my prayers!! STAY STRONG!! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

OMG!!! I almost thought I was reading a post I wrote not long ago!!! I know exactly how you feel. I just finally had to realize that she would have to decide if or when she would finally do something, though I feel ya on how annoying to hear someone talk about how determined they are to get healthy as they stuff a big mac…

I must admit I'm glad to hear that videos can be great for toning etc.. I've always wondered how well they work. Obviously it makes a difference what ones you get. I've been wanting to order some of the Jillian Michaels DVD's. Thank you:flowerforyou: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

So things are a little tight right now. Though there are many things in the works that will change our financial situation in the future, I find myself having to put my gym membership on hold for atleast a couple of months. I have been doing so well and I don't want to lose any momentum. Can anyone give me advice on…

You look amazing!!!!! YOu definately give me inspiration!! I know you will reach your goals!! One inch at a time right:flowerforyou:
