26, started around 210 and now hover around 170. goal weight is 150. Got a new gym membership and want to start lifting. It's intimidating alone at the gym to start using the weights though!

I'm starting back again as well. Feel free to add me! Accountability partners are very helpful.

This is awesome. Thanks!

I'm in grad school, along with work. Its so hard to stay on top of it when we are sooo busy!

I'm starting over again as well and could use someone to help keep me on track/push me. Buddy system :)

Awesome. Thank you for writing that out.

this is an amazing story. I have a similar one. I did not lose 100lbs, more like 30 but I have put it all back on and am trying again to lose it. I will take your advice

congrats. you are doing great

That is amazing and completely what I needed to see today. Thank you for the motivation!

feel free to add me as well. I have ~30 to lose, if not more. I fell off the wagon for a little while and as well and am just starting up again.

congratulations. it certainly is not easy but you look wonderful. I hope to look like you eventually!

Thank you guys. I know I can do this, its just the first step is always the hardest. I just need to get through this week and it will get easier from there

invite sent :) I would really love a motivating friend to keep me at it, and i will do the same for you

22 and want to lose about 30. lets do this :)

good luck, you got this. you can add me if you'd like :)

amazing job! you just gave me more motivation to get through today

the "stuff you should know" sounds really interesting, thanks!

i have the same reaction with hunger that you do, but i just cannot give up coffee, no matter the side effects hahaha. by the time it wears off though i usually have a small snack, and then its only an hour until lunch so i manage :)

i would try to switch up your workouts. you can lower the calories again if you want but a friend had the same problem, and changed her long daily workouts into two short but intense ones each day, and her plateau ended.

you can add me if you want. everyone here understands where you are comming from, but i think setting small goals like that is perfect. I do the same thing except i set it for the next 10lbs bracket, like 180-170, etc. thinking how far you have to reach your end goal can be too much to handle sometimes

lack of sleep will totally have an effect on both of your problems, the weight and soreness. your body uses the sleep time to rest, recoup and heal. without enough sleep your body will simply not function properly. sorry no one answered you earlier :(

thats awesome congratulations! when i could finally pull on my old jeans it was so much more exciting than seeing the scale numbers drop. it meant so much more and now you can see that as well. congrats

you dont have to completely take the day "off" if it really bothers you, you just need to take it easy. instead of running you can go for a nice long walk or a relaxing bike ride. this way you are still being active, but your muscles are not be strained :)

that is amazing! you hold on to that man. He obviously loves you more than words can describe. and keep going on your journey, you and your whole family are benefiting from it :)

i just did the fit test yesterday and my results were pretty sad as well hahaha. i workout with running, elliptical, spin class and other classes 5-6 days a week and i thought i would do better as well. but my low scores only made me excited to start the program, because it is obviously going to ask for a lot and therefore…

custom orthodics from a podiatrist are the best, and the only way my feet actually allow me to run and jump. but these type take awhile to order since they need to be molded to your feet. if you just want a pair of cheap but good quality ones that you can start out on use this site, http://www.alevafootcare.com/. they are…

Heres a list of ones you can search on the website that require NO equipment :) but i really like the idea mentioned above of a duffle filled with phone books, so ingenious :) 15 Minutes of Pure Torture 18 Minute S&M 550 Rep 600 Rep Sexier Body Abs Assassin Best Ripped Abs Bikini Body Body Burn Body Lift Body on Fire…

congratulations, the change is huge!

MUSIC!!!! its the only way i can keep running. if i dont have music i dont last more than 5 minutes either, but with it i can run and i dont even realize how long it has been

you can do it! This site is so helpful
