Very inspirational! WOW, and way to go! I obviously don't know you but I am proud of your feat and very motivated. Job well well done :)

Thursday QOTD What's your favorite new healthy meal? I would say I love spinach and egg whites sandwich. I'm a big carb gal and Hispanic as well, so tortillas took over my meals. Now with my new found research, I manage to indulge in healthier carbs for my morning breakfast.

Qotd: How many days per week do you "really" do cardio? And do any of you try to get in some exercise more than once per day to get over a plateau? I have yet to start cardio. The only cardio I get is during my bootcamp when they have us running which is rare. I am hoping to get cardio in this week perhaps 2x/ week and…

Last time I tried something new was a month ago when I started bootcamp. It's a true butt kicker!

This group is amazing. I did notice most are moms so extra kudos to you ladies. I am full time college student, 21 years. I have struggled with my weight most of my life, I have the worst eating habits in the world. I hope one day, I will learn to eat healthy and pass that on to my future kids. Right now my biggest…

I am hoping to fit in to a bikini by spring. I can't wait to get rid of my fat clothes and buy brand new clothes!!! I'm just excited for the whole shopping experience. I promised myself I will NOT buy bigger clothes, I refuse to pay and accept my current weight as ok.

Just now: I'm a rental car agent and a guy comes in. Guy: do you have to have a driver license? Me: yes. Guy: are you sure? Me: yes. Guy: positively sure? How do you know? Me: under the state of CA you need a dl to operate a Motor vehicle. Guy: oh but are you sure? Like wth?!? You need a dl end of discussion!!

There I so much going on in this thread! So many great stories. I still have a few more to read. Get back to guys later...

Qotd 7: Yes I have wanted to give up a millions times and to be honest I have given up whether it was a meal or a day. It's just so hard and I feel like I am never meant to be skinny or I guess healthy. But I always find random motivators to get me through this journey. It has def been a bumpy road but I'll make it. Qotd…

My gals and I have known each other since the 4th grade 1998, when I moved. They've known each since kinder. We all have different lives and cannot hang out daily much less weekly but for birthdays and Christmas we always find a way back to each other. I met them on my 1st day of school, I was the new girl but they were…

Hi, I'm Melissa and I'm a junior @ San Diego State U. I am a math major with an emphasis in finance. Weight has always been an issue as long as I could remember. I think my senior year in hs was when I really started packing on the pounds :( it didn't help that my first 2 years of college I was in a serious depressive…

Wow! Talk about accountability!! Great job

My most favorite part is my hair on my head. Of course 99% of the time I do not brush it and it's wild and crazy but the 1% I do something with it, I love it :)

Thank you Shelly for the code :) Btw Shining diamonds you rocked it!!!

Ladies I have a question, how did you guys resize your shining diamond logo? Thanks.

1. Buy fab clothes! 2. Get a tatoo 1yr after maintenance 3. Feel confident my semester abroad

Oh goodness. all that comes to mind is to just keep your head up. Your journey is for you, not your dad. It sucks that people have no filter. Well I, along with everyone else is rooting for you to reach your goals, so keep pushing, because we all know you can, most importantly, I know you know you can too :)

bump needed the boost!

Happy Labor Day :) bump

I have a Belgian Malinios who is literally on crack!! He's a year 9 months and boy have we had our moments. My local police dept knows him (he was arrested). But he is a great dog, always random, he's such a character. He gets so excited for his walks and just goes crazy when I get near his drawer of toys and leash. I want…

Are you still acceptin people? I would love to join. I'm in the same boat as you and my bday is in march, the big 2-2!!

Honestly I don't like logging exercise calories. Diet is 80% weight loss, those calories are the most important. As far the exercise part, i just make sure I get my workout in and I actually go hard.

I love no bakes!!! But I've tried making it healthy, they just arnt the same :(

QOTD Day 5 : What is your favorite healthy snack to give you a boost and keep you going?! Fruits are always awesome, but when I need some processed junk food because I need it I like the fiber one bars that are only 90 calories. I get best of both worlds kind of.

QOTD 5: Have you ever been depressed? How do you deal with depression... I think I've been depressed for maybe 3 years now. I just recently have been officially diagnosed but I haven't started taking the medication. I think a lot has to do with the stigma and some my pride as to why I haven't. It runs deep in my family so…

I bleed red and black for life.. GO AZTECS!!!! San Diego State University, finest city on earth.

Super excited! Thanks and since I have a small family and I have not kids or a huge shopping list for Xmas...I get to buy myself lots of presents!!! Aka wardrobe :)
