Doesn't even look like the same person. GRATZ!!!!

AMAZING

I doubled my bike-ride distance, while completing it in the same time limit (35 mins)... in 30 days.

All of this. And to add.... STOP TRYING TO LOOK LIKE THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOS! Even the girl in the photo doesn't look like the girl in the photo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7PSMSNLcDg

If it were easy, then over half of the country wouldn't be clinically obese. Outstanding work!

I really needed to read this. Thank you for taking the time to write it. I'm right there with you, losing... then gaining.... losing again... then gaining again. The yo-yo isn't good for us, but it happens. I commend you on your strength and resilience, it becomes too easy to say, 'screw the world I'll just live with being…

I swear -- this whole thing is like the scene from, "IDIOCRACY."

You will have SOOOOO MUCH ENERGY. Because of this, you'll find yourself going to bed late. It presents a PERFECT opportunity to cheat & binge eat late at night. So either find a suitable distraction, or force yourself to go to bed.

Good luck, chickie-chickie!

It takes a brave and strong person to admit when things aren't right, get off the couch, set goals, and put your wants into action. You are NOT a failure. But it is a struggle. If it were easy, then 60% of our nation wouldn't be considered obese.

Got through a full circuit ab workout. First time in over five years. Lower back hurt like hell..... but I just gritted my teeth, and got thru it.

I have to do something about my abs. I HATE abs workouts. But it had to be done. I picked six exercises that I could reasonably do. Put on some heavy music -- "NOLA" album, from Down. Hope my neighbors enjoyed it. Got on the garage floor w/carpet remnant. Did the work.

Outstanding job. DO WORK! KEEP GRINDING!

YOU GOT THIS

Sharing a KILLER list of protein shakes. Tried four of them so far, and they are AWESOME. https://www.yummly.com/recipes/vanilla-protein-powder-shake?prm-v1=1 The orange protein shake is my favorite, so far. (Tastes just like the orange milkshakes from Steak & Shake)

You look like a completely different person! And not just looks-wise.... you look happier, and YOUNGER! What an inspiration. Congrats!

This one, all I could do is grin: "Are you sick?"

You might've had one bad week... but there's 4 weeks in a month. When you fall, the only thing you can do is pick yourself up, dust yourself off, get back up & ride. That being said, when you work out, really REALLY pay attention to how you feel. What/How you eat makes a big difference on how you feel during a workout. Let…

Little by little, you are saving your own life. And YOU ARE WORTH IT! We're cheering for you!

AMAZING dedication!

Two moments come to mind -- 1) I did the "Act Like Your Wife" challenge on TikTok, and couldn't believe that was me. I've always prided myself on looking younger than I actually am.... in that moment, I looked like a walking beached whale. 2) One morning, I was straining/holding my breath/almost sweating trying to cut my…

@SnifferPug -- keep me posted, would like hear how it's going for you. It certainly worked for me!

Dude, all of that weight didn't go on overnight. You didn't wake up one morning, and like, "OMG.... I'm suddenly obese!" The weight went on gradually. It will come off the same way.

I had to stop drinking SODA! Omigawd, soda is THE DEVIL. One can of Mountain Dew = 300 calories. You could have a WHOLE MEAL for that caloric intake! Empty calories will get you every time.

Today -- Bought smaller plates. (( hear me out )) Think about how many times we all like to, "fill up our plate," when we get ready to eat. If you have a smaller plate, you can actually play a Jedi mind-trick on yourself.... by filling up your plate with less food.

Awesome post. And I can identify with it, too. Waking up some mornings, having that, "*kitten* it" mood..... then you just turn it around & just do it. It's so much more satisfying when you finish strong.

What worked for me yesterday -- Logging my foods prior to eating. That way I can keep a closer eye on what I'm putting into my body, and I can adjust my meal quantity so I don't ruin a day's worth of progress.
