Love your simple, no nonsense, no excuses approach! That's awesome!!!

Amazing!

My teenage girls play that. We walk together every morning and this morning they were running ahead and having a good time. I haven't checked it out yet, but they love it and it seems to get them moving.

Woah!!! That's awesome!!!! Care to share how you did it?

Love, love, love this!!!!!

I must've climbed 20 flights of stairs yesterday going on water slides with my teenagers...totally rocking my sexy new bathing suit in public. A couple years ago, I'd have been fully dressed, sitting in a chair watching everyone else have fun. Can't get back all the years I missed, but I can live the rest of my years to…

Awesome!!!

5'9" Start weight 215 Current weight 166

Size 18/20 to a 5/6. No fad diets. No gym membership. Just started buying real food and walking. Eventually I was running. I'm not at goal weight yet, but...I'm pushin' 40, mother of 4 and in the best shape of my life. I'm pretty proud of that.

I smoked a pack a day for 19 years. My husband smoked even longer than that. We both quit cold turkey on New Years Day 3 years ago. We've seen friends and family struggle with patches and pills and vape pens and nic gum. We decided to suck it up & be done with the nonsense once and for all. We smoked our last one at…

Did it as a couple. Lost a combined 66 lbs. (His loss was 40-something, mine 20-something. Don't remember exact numbers.) Did the classic schedule. I'm about to start another round by myself (because he went back to school, on top of working full time. *sad face). No idea how I'm going to make it through the 90 minutes of…

Interesting. That's really amazing. What was your suggested calorie intake, if you don't mind sharing??? I promise not to judge or tell you that you're doing it all wrong--because obviously you're doing great! (Of course, I can't speak for everyone else. Ha!)

I don't know exactly. I wasn't keeping track of anything. Looking back, I don't know how I lost so much weight not tracking anything or even weighing myself, but I did. I started walking during my sons soccer practice, so about 90 min. Later, I added a 30 min walk with my husband after dinner. So about 2 hours a day, I…

I went from a size 20 to a size 6 by just walking. Later I added P90X, running, Fitness Blender workouts, wii Fit, etc, but I've never had a gym membership. The nearest gym to my house is an hour round trip. I'm a busy mom! Ain't nobody got time for that! You absolutely can lose weight without a gym membership. : )

That's so awesome! Great job!

Wow, you're my weight loss twinsie! Almost identical beginning, lowest & current weight! You look gorgeous!!! You should be really proud of yourself! That's a lot of hard work!!! Going to friend you! : )

Wow, thought I was the only one! I just couldn't stay healthy & fit on a vegan diet anymore. (Not that it can't be done! It was just me & all my food allergies. Ever met a vegan allergic to vegetables?!) Anyway, I introduced animal products back into my diet over the summer & I was almost hoping I wouldn't feel better, but…

Fantastic! Congrats!!!

Me-me-me!

Here's a side by side of when we lost a combined 66 lbs with one round of P90x together. We've both come a long way since then. He's way bigger (in a good way) & I'm way smaller. But our whole journey has been together. We quit smoking together. We work out together. We plan & meal prep together. I couldn't do it without…

Congrats! I hope I look like that at 50!!!

Love that you look so happy now. That's true beauty right there. : ) Great job! You're killin' it!!!

I don't walk as much as I used to, but I run several times a week. I usually buy Nikes or Asics, and have for years. I just went for a new pair & decided to try on some Under Armor running shoes I spotted. OMG, I fell in love!!! No more shin pain & I shaved a 47 seconds off each mile the first day I wore them! Last week I…

I gain about 4 lbs that week. I crave sweets, but don't go crazy & eat everything in sight. Just a few bites of this & that to keep myself from feeling deprived. The extra lbs are gone by the next week.

I smoked a pack a day for about 20 years. I made a quit date, bought lots of sour candy & cinnamon gum, and made a giant poster with a list of what I'd do when cravings hit. I taped it to the door to my garage (my smoking spot) then threw out all my ashtrays & cigarettes. When the cravings hit, I was ready. 1. Go for a…

Good for you, Karen! Sounds like you're getting your life back. That's awesome!!!!

This.

Both. I reheat by popping one corner of the lid open & throwing it in the microwave. By trapping the moisture, it steams it. Doesn't take long to heat it. Tastes & smells good to me. : )

Omg, that's awesome!!! Congrats! I went from an obese smoker to running 3-10 miles every morning. Never felt better! Still working on my last 10 lbs aaaaand I have been for a ridiculously long time. But it's ok, not in a hurry. Already in the best shape of my life, so I'm not complaining! : ) Add me!

Oh, I solved this one long ago. I'd use a big plate & add their stuff to one side of my plate. Give them a little plate with almost nothing on it. Wait for them to want some of mine. Then slide their stuff into their plate from yours, while acting irritated. Gotta be smarter than the toddler. Which is harder than it…
