A New NSV
Last May, I weighed in at 256 lbs and wore a size 20. To a friend, I'd say, I wish I could just be a size 10 and I'd be happy. I AM a size 10...but I'm not happy with my body. I still have more to get through, more to do... my new goal is a size 6. But I do feel pretty healthy. Last May, when we took our kids to an…

Feeling healthy
I have been 'in bed' for a month after I tore my hamstring from my pelvic, had surgery, and then had a bad reaction to blood thinner and spent a week in the hospital. Last week, I started feeling good, where I wanted to get up and get around,etc. So, i started moving bit, and each day I moved, I felt better. I had lost…

School Lunches
*This is a RANT* My daughter and I just had a talk about what she chooses to put in her body. She's 12, and a little overweight. So, we took my journal for yesterday (I wasn't well and didn't do it) and put in her lunch at school. It was OVER 900 calories!!!! WTH???? I was like, really? Now I'm like, we're SO packing your…

Unexpected...AMAZING!!!!
So today... I went out to lunch with my husband to a 'drive in' that has been a 'fav' of ours for many years. I got a coney dog... and their special rootbeer. (Yeah I know, junk food galore... but Listen) I've not had soda for at least 6 months. But I used to LOVE rootbeer, so I thought, you know what, I deserve a little…

Body Image Thoughts - probably only a woman only thread?
I've lost 70 lbs since August 2010. I have about 30 lbs to go. I remember wearing a size 20 thinking, if I could only get down to a size 10 or 12, I'd feel hot and I'd be happy with my body. Well, I'm a size 10 or 12, depending upon the pants... and I can fit into a size medium shirt on a good day. I should be 'happy' with…

Need Cheering Up
Hello all... I'm just hanging out in bed for the 5th day in a row. I've torn my hamstring from my bone (or that's suspect) and am awaiting a follow up appointment to find out if I need surgery. I'm getting depressed because all I can do is hang out in my bedroom on my left side or my belly. i can't walk or sit. I'm in…

Need advice
Ok, my weightloss has stalled...dramatically stalled. I am unable to walk or exercise for about 3 weeks, at least. I might be needing surgey... and I'm not getting any cardio in. I've not been big on strength training, but in the next few weeks, because of a hamstring tear, I'm thinking it's a time to work on some upper…

Injury
I've been running a lot lately, but yesterday while playing with my Girl Scout Troop, I slipped in mulch and fell fast and hard. My right leg went forward and my left leg was backwards. (in the Herkey position, if you know what it is for cheerleading) I immediately knew I hurt myself bad, and had my husband come take me to…
