Why do you knit?
I took up knitting for real, after my Mama died. I knew how to knit before that, but never finished any projects. It has been a blessing in my life, without knitting, my brain was in chaos, I couldn't focus. It calms my brain, and settles my heart. Nothing will replace my Mama, but knitting makes it hurt less. So, why do…

My favorite motivational tool
Is beans. For every pound lost, I buy a 1pound bag of dry beans, I put those bags of beans in a reusable shopping bag, when I feel myself backsliding, I carry around my bag of beans. It is a tangible reminder of how far I've come. When I reach my goal, then I can donate my bag of beans to my local food pantry. What is you…

Reward?
Ok, so right now I weigh 304, I figure maybe another good 2weeks, and I'll be below 300! My question is what should be my reward for that? It will be the first time in over 10 years, before I got married, that I will weigh less than 300 pounds. When I lost the first 10, I got my very first pedicure. Loved it! My mom says…

Sick and tired
Ok, so last week I came down with what at the time I thought was a cold, turns out its bronchitis. I took today off from my wateraerobics class, and probably will tomorrow as well. Which really sucks, because they are so much fun! I know that I could keep up, and do the exercises, but I don't want to give this crap to…

Post workout eating.
Why is is that I can get in a great workout, have lunch afterwards, and then not be hungry the rest of the day? I have to force myself to eat anything afterward. Is that when I'm burning fat? Also, could this just be a quark of my diabetes? (Type 2) yesterday for instance, I finished out the day, with over 2000 calories…

Should I????
I'm coming down with a cold or sinus infection, one or the other, and I'm wondering should I do my water aerobics in the morning, or not?

Here is one I know I can relate to.......
Much like redneck jokes, I fat jokes, the funny ones, not the mean ones! So I could use a good laugh, so, tell me your favorites, this is mine, you know your fat when, you get your groceries, and you have to sidestep to get your door and you are rubbing dust off both vehicles! Get it? With your bum and your gut.

Has anyone tried this stuff, and other questions.
This is not an advertisement, I am simply curious. Have any of you tried CLA? And what were your results/reactions to it? Also, is there a pre-couch to 5k out there? I'm not sure that I can even do week1. Thanks for the help.

What?!?
Ok, so I have tried so many diets in the past. As I'm sure many of you have. I am hoping and praying this is the last time. At 40, it is past time to grow up, and eat right, and get up off my tush and start moving! I am a night shift LPN in a nursing home, but only work 3 nights a week. So, I have friends that tell me to…
