Posting pictures
I answered my own question. But for those wanting to know how to post pictures here's what I believe you need to do: the picture must be on the internet already - if you have a pic on your computer you want to post, you need to use something like Imageshack or Photobucket to download the pic first and then grab the link…

Just Joined the Group - Hi Everyone
Hi Everyone, I have a fairly long intro post over in the regular boards so I'll keep this one short. I'm 48, very happily divorced, been clean eating since March.

Clmbing Stairs vs Walking
I have had a hard time climbing steps for over ten years so the fact that I am now climbing even just a little bit is a big accomplishment for me. I live near Canton, Ohio and we have the McKinley Monument - here's a pic of it http://billpomerenk.com/travel/presidents/William_Mckinley/grave.jpg There's 108 steps to reach…

Want to start weight training - Where do I start?
I am 48 yrs old, weigh aprox 335lbs (started at 390 back in March). I've never done any sort of weight training in my life but from everything I'm reading about it, I think I'd like to try it. I do cardio now - walking on treadmill, resistance type workouts in the pool and I swim a few laps. The gym I go to has several…

Your Favorite After Workout Snack?
I'm just looking for ideas. Lately when I finish at the gym I am a little hungry. It's too early for supper and I've already had lunch. I just want a little something that will satisfy me for a couple of hours til dinner time. Lately it's been fruit but thinking I might need to change that to nuts or something else. So…

The Heat Must Be Getting to Me
I swear almost every post I've read on the regular boards today had someone being rude or telling people that clean eating is a myth and it's ok to go ahead and have that candy bar or to eat at McDonald's. I know there are different ways to lose weight and everyone has to do what works for them but to say clean eating is a…

Need Vegetarian / Clean Dinner Ideas
It is too hot to spend a lot of time in the kitchen right now (no AC at my house) and I don't want to turn on the oven. I am challenging myself to go 8 weeks on a vegetarian diet and I am at the end of week one and not sure what I can make besides veggie burgers (homemade), salad, bean burritos and steamed veggies. I don't…

My Name's Naomi and I'm a Sugar Addict
I am 48 yrs old and addicted to sugar, refined processed food and junk. I have been addicted as long as I can remember. Sugar has always been my weakness. Back in March I joined a weight loss group through the local hospital, I was shocked to discover my weight was 390 lbs - I thought I was closer to 375, still not good…
