Update: Current Weight: 163 pounds down 2 lbs since we started this! Keep going everyone!!

Love the hulk costume - Spidey is looking very dapper too!

Halloween is my favorite holiday! Would love to lose a LOT more than 5 lbs total, but 5 by Halloween sounds great! Current Weight: 165lbs Goal Weight (by Halloween): 160lbs Ultimate Goal Weight: 140lbs Height: 5'2" Age: 46 As for the costume, my husband & I always hold a "Dead & Breakfast" party, so I would love to find a…

Best Advice: NEVER GIVE UP, no matter how many times you fall - get up and do it again. Worst Advice: Bee Pollen pills, never been so nauseous in my life!

Thank you - I was hoping I could alter the MFP date...no worries, maybe in the future!

I have 4 "teens" 22, 20, 18, & 16 / 2 girls 2 boys. I have been known to drive through Hell on occasion because the scenery is prettier than in my house somedays! While they are trying at times, I wouldn't change a thing. My youngest daughter and oldest son have severe Chrones, and my youngest son and oldest daughter are…

Not sure if you can access Hulu, but I watch it there!

I'm 5'2" (5'3" at the doc's office) and started at 177lbs. No pics, but I should document this since I am a photographer! I'm also 46 years old so I have no more teenage metabolism to fall back on, lol.

WOW! That post gave me another "gallon of motivation" since I am approaching 50 in a couple years! Way to go!

Thank you everyone! I do weigh everything, but get lazy and use the generic database entries instead of creating my own. Water intake? Guilty as charged for not enough... Thinking about a heart monitor - any suggestions? Again, thank you for all of the input, I have some adjusting to do!

OMG, you all made my cry, BOTH of my kids are currently in Nat'l Guard Boot Camp and both were slightly overweight when they went in, now I am hearing they have shed the weight (mind you, DS is 17 yrs and DD is 19 yrs so they still have the wicked metabolism on their side) So now it is my turn, as I am currently carrying a…

I tried it a couple of times, and got VERY sick. Couldn't keep anything down and I was only taking 1 a day when the suggested amount was 2! Decided that the fast lane only leads to bad news, so cut out soda and morning coffee and increased exercise and water!

Lucky you moving to Florida! I'm a bit North of you in PA. Feel free to add me, keep going!

Hi Lucy! Add me too, I am on again, off again with the weight loss motivation, but I can sure try! Both of my "babies" are currently serving their country, so I would love to surprise them with a new physique! We can do this!!!

I will pin just about every caloric blow-out recipe to my board.... Then I will utilize my willpower and grill up some spaghetti squash and smile!

To the OP: No - Never....do not give in and do not give up. There are a lot of opinions within these boards - some you will like, some will hurt, but at the end of the day you have to please yourself! You can do it!

mstrickland9 - where was that pic of you taken?

WAY TO GO!!

Name/ real name: Thunderwoods Goal weight on April 30:: 162 4/1: 169 4/8: 4/15: 4/22: 4/30: Ready to say goodbye to another 5lbs!

Thank you for this - although I didn't 'fall off'....I drove it off the cliff! However, for the record I blame my mother in law...perhaps you saw her flying around on her broom...lol!

Would love to join....hope I made the cut!

YES! Me too! I'm currently at 170lbs and want to get to my fighting weight of 140lbs by Feb. 2014 (In time for my cruise) I agree, no pills, no magic la-la stuff.... Look for my friend request!

You can do this - you already know the gallon of soda is bad-bad-bad, and the fad/crash diets will tear you to shreds in one way or another. Look in the mirror and tell yourself - really convince yourself - that you are worth it and can do it!

I will - I've been there too....EXACTLY there. You can do this - small steps, small goals..BIG SUCCESS!

Thank you all....I needed that! Good luck in all of your endeavors!

You are doing great! GO! GO! GO!

Has gorgeous cheekbones!

I have gone to past faires in full knight regalia with my husband. I try to explain to dufus-tourists that yes, there were female knights in the 15th century, basically when the man of the house went to war, the wife was left to guard the castle. Many took to dressing as a knight in order to ward off would-be robbers that…

I'm 5'2" 164lbs and in a size 12...hopefully not for long!!!
