    I have about 22-32 lbs left to lose. It took me about 10 months to lose 40lbs, so I'm trying to be more aggressive with the last leg of my weight loss.

    I've been doing the Insanity workout program for 3 weeks now, and it's been amazing! I've been losing 2lbs a week, and I can already see the results! It's great at toning muscles, which is definitely something we should be doing as we get closer to our goal weights!! :)

    i want to try that, I'm hoping to find the money for it soon!

    I have friends that found it for $48 on ebay!!

    i never thought to look there! we need a workout video sharing system on here! ha

    You are right in the same range as I am. I have lost 109 lbs but am now really struggling. I am at 171 and would like to be in the 140 range...would even be happy with 150. I am up for ideas too. I have had a worse time the last few weeks than I have had the entire time. Wanting to eat everything etc. And even when I am doing good not losing much...although actually I don't have a problem with that because I knew it would slow way down. I am just really torn about having nooooo self control all of a sudden.

    Great job on your loss!!! amazing!!

    are you drinking enough water? also not having enough iron in your diet can cause you to get cravings! take a look at your iron for the next week!


    HOW MUCH IRON YOU NEED EACH DAY*
    Children, 1-10 years 10 mg.
    Teen males 12 mg.
    Adults males 10 mg.
    Teen and adult females 18 mg.
    Pregnant women 30 mg.
    Women over 50 10mg

    when menstruating add 5mg a day, And vitamin C helps with iron absorption! and Caffeine drinks such as tea and coffee prevent iron absorption. But don't over do it, too much iron can be a bad thing!
