Hi there! I can relate to your situation, but like most of the responders, I had to make working out/eating right a priority. I have 2 kids/husband/work 40+ hours a week. I had to work with my husband to create a work out schedule that works for us both. Currently I work out Mon/Wed/Fri for 1 hour after work, and he…

Congrats on starting and I applaud your efforts. I too am a big girl starting out and I joined a women's fit camp in my area where it's circuit of cardio and weights. I like it because it's guided strength training and the results have been phenomenal. I've purchased the New Rules of Weight Lifting for Women and the…

Chinese food and chocolate. When I'm not eating clean, I never want chinese food. As soon as I make the effort to start, I crave egg rolls, dumplings, and almond chicken (I guess I am craving the salt). I crave chocolate all the time :blushing: .

I do the same thing. I log in during my lunch hour to enter calories, but I don't have enough time to read through the posts. I bump them so I can easily find them in "my topics" later in the evening or on weekends.

Bump for later.

Bump, trying this tonight. Thanks for sharing. Sounds yummy.

Bump. This was so on time. :smile:

bump for later :)

I make a similar smoothie but I add 1 cup frozen raspberries, 1 tbsp almond butter, and 1 tsp lemon. You won't taste the spinach at all. Have fun experimenting :).

WOW!!! What an amazing transformation. I am in the 300's and it is very encouraging to read your success story. Congrats on all your hard work.

I get great burns with either zumba (with a great, energetic instructor) or body combat (similiar to kickboxing).

Sadly, it is my mom. I know she loves me, but she doesn't understand the changes I am making for myself and my sons. She laughs at my efforts, picks at me for eating healthy and keeps so much junk at her house. I've finally had to decrease the amount of time that I spend with her. Hopefully she will get "it" soon.

Congratulations on your weight lost!!! You are doing an amazing job. I have 100lbs to lose, so don't feel like you are out there by yourself. Keep up the good work.

Bump :), saving the info for later. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, congrats on a job well done. You look amazing!

In addition to water, I count my unsweetened green tea. I love warm drinks and like to experiment with different flavors of tea. I figured it couldn't hurt. I drink a several cups a day, it has no other additives like sugar or honey, and it has no calories. I do make sure I get my 10-12 glasses of "pure water" every single…

Good luck to you. I have been a member for the past year, but have had to re-work my goals several times. They so third times a charm :smile: . I know you will be successful.

You look amazing. Stories like yours let me know that I can do it too!!!. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Everyone!!! I'm super excited to join this group. I haven't joined to many groups because I work full time at work during the day and at home in the evenings :). My name is Monie and I am a 33 year old wife and mother to two extremely active boys. I have had this book for at least 6 months. Intially, I was a little…

Wow, you did an amazing job and you look great. Congratulations.

Congrats on a job well done. This is very inspiring!!:smile:

CONGRATS!!! Awesome job and very inspirational. I am still on my journey after having kids (youngest now 4), but this gives me encouragement :happy:

Wow, that's awesome, congrats and keep up the good work. This is very motivational :)!!!
