I use a flip belt and Bluetooth headphones. It fits my iPhone 6s, key fob and an id or chap stick. I also use it when I go to festivals or parks and don't have pockets. I love that thing!

Fantastic loss, girl!! How is everyone else doing? Sunday is usually the day I lay out weekly goals, plan meals, and get organized. This week is going to be tricky for me because there are a lot of social activities that I'll be participating in because of the superbowl. So excited, but I'll definitely need to be very…

I love to snack on air popped popcorn or pickles. The popcorn is very low cal and you can enjoy a large volume of it. The pickles help satiate my salty cravings. If you are trying not to snack, try brushing your teeth shortly after dinner. I find this really helps deter me from eating. Good luck!!

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? Seeing progress? How are you sticking to your diet and exercise goals? Got any advice or motivation for us? Hope all is well. Remember, it's not always easy, but it is ALWAYS worth it! ;)

Just checking in. I've really taken control of my diet. Last week, I pre logged breakfast, lunch, and dinner and really stuck to it except Saturday which was a free day for me. (Free to decide what to eat, but had to stay under calories). Breakfast has been either a protein bar or egg whites with broccoli and cheese. Lunch…

Hello ladies! It's Wednesday so how are we doing? I'm having a hard time getting my exercise in. I feel drained by the time I get home from work and it's hard to get going in the morning. Any tips? Guess I'm just going to need to buckle down and knock it out--NO excuses.

Success on the diet front, but a need a little more on the exercise front. Will try to get it in today. Yesterday's menu Breakfast: egg whites with broccoli and cheese, almond coconut milk Lunch: salad with tuna and veggies Dinner: basil pesto tilapia, shrimp, wild rice, steamed Brussels sprouts Snacks: blueberries,…

I would LOVE to join y'all in this endeavor. I'm going on a cruise the 21st of February and this will be a GREAT incentive for me to kick it into gear this year!! Meal prep will take place today and tomorrow, and I intend to get thirty minutes of cardio in both days.

Great work! Really inspiring and I love the before and afters!

I too just finished week 6 day 2. I wasn't really into it, but managed to complete without issue. I just felt really blah. I have 5k fun run at night on Saturday so I may do the third day then and spice it up a bit...

Great blog! Great story! Congratulations on the mounds of success you've heaped on!☺️

I too have a difficult time keeping myself from munching when I'm bored. I like to drink sparkling water (the bubbles spice it up a bit) or take walks to keep me out of the house. Also, find activities that are not as conducive to eating, like a craft or hobby that uses your hands, cleaning, or even reading outside to…

I know that when I have incorporated a strength training program with chest lifts into my diet and exercise regimen, I have noticed a little bit of a lift in my boobs. Yes, boobs are fat, but the muscles underneath, when strengthened will provide a slight lift. I would also add that if you are going to start lifting, do…

You can add me if you'd like. I log in every day, try to be active, and eat sensibly recognizing that this is a lifestyle change for me. I think motivating others helps me stay motivated as well.
-
I am using the Human app. I like it. It gives me incentive to be a little more active and I love the "comments" it gives when you reach your minutes. If you start a group on there, let me know. I'm game!
-
I fight with myself every time I work out. I always feel great afterwards, but I need a little extra kick to get me going. I find vocalizing my intentions keeps me accountable. Telling someone I'm going to work out makes me less likely to flake out later. Also, keep your meals interesting and you won't get as bored. Last,…

I have the FT7, I realize it's not one of your choices, but I wanted something that tracked, approx calories, previous workouts, and that I could set min and max limits for. I also got the Bluetooth chest strap so I can sync it with mapmyrun. I had the FT4 and loved it. I'm a big fan of polar products. There is a side by…

Happy scale is an app that does a great job of monitoring fluctuations and weight trends over time. I like to jump on the scale every three or four days so I see lots of fluctuations. The Happy scale app keeps it in perspective for me-I love it and it's free!

You can add me. I started at the end of March and am on here everyday. I'd like to lose about 50lbs, have finally gotten my diet under control, and now I'm gettingh fitness plan underway. It's definitely so much easier to stick to it when you have a good support group!

I love stir-fries. I can mix any vegetables I have, toss in any kind of protein-chicken, shrimp, pork or beef and add a little terriyaki sauce. Some days I mix in rice others I don't. It's good reheated too.

Take your measurements and see where you're actually losing the weight. I tend to lose my boobs, face, and as first. All places that, honestly I wish would go last. Also, they don't really affect how my clothes fit so it always takes a little longer for my sizes to go down. Keep it up! Don't get discouraged. The fact that…

First of all, I have chocolate almost everyday. I love it and will never give it up. The key here is moderation. Sugar is addicting and you may need to completely eliminate it for a bit until you get your cravings under control, but you shouldn't have to get rid of it forever. Try limiting yourself to one square or going…

What a great post! Congratulations on the race and the completion of your program!! I'm in the middle of week 4 and am struggling to stay motivated. This really helped. Thanks for sharing!
