I am trying to lose as many inches as I can before my husband comes home is December. He left in September and I am down 35 pounds and one pant size. I…

Just thinkning about 200 pushups is killing my arms lol today was arm day at the gym but I am going to give it my all.

I have a trainer that put me on a 2000 calorie diet and I am suppose to be eating some of them back. and I am doing pretty good. When I stick to my diet I lose sometimees 2 pounds a day. Its all about how you exercise and what works for your body. I am in the gym 2 hours a day 5 days a week and I lift weights so I need…

Hi all I am Rachel and I would love to have all three of you as friends :)

I prefer warm mud myself I dont think I would like to run through it cold and in the rain. I live in WA

I didnt know you were so young this might be an inappropriate gift sorry

I dont know how long you guys have been together but I an doing boudoir photos for my husband. You can make it just as dirty or classy as you want too. If you have a cloose friend to do the pics then it will be cheap all you need is a camara and an imagination and it would be a perfect gift. This is the website I got some…

I ahve never done one but I heard its a lot of fun. Isnnt it s little cold for that this time of year lol.

I am so sorry to hear that but you know what you did it once you can do it again. Now that you see what you need to do get with it. Dont let this get you down use it *kitten* motiation. We are all pulling for you. If you need more people feel free to add me :)

You need your nutrients. The protein is set really low on this site my protein is always over by at least 90 but I am also lifting weights. I dotn know if you go to a regular doctor or anything but if you can ask a doctor or a nutritionist they would really be able to help you. I know it can be frustrating and the only…

You will get better I knwo everything feels like it is coming apart at the seams but its not because you are a strong woman and will hold it all together if for nothing else for your girls. We never know how strong we are until we have to be stronger than we have ever been. Good luck and when you feel overwhealmed hug…

That sucks I had an issue with financial aid myself and it can be so frustrating at times. I hope that they are aboe to get everything together for you soon I know waiting on that money can be killer. Hang in there and even though your problem doesnt seem important to others. I think that this is a place to blow off steam…

Ok Ladies i am back sorry I have been out of touch the past week. But I am back on tract this week.

you look fantastic

Well my first weight loss reward will be a weekend get away with my husband to a bed and breakfast to show off how I look in lingerie that I would not wear before because I was uncomfortable with my size.

It took a while to get to that point. I dont play too much on the computer but Dragon Age was bad I had to make myself get off of it and even had to quit for a while to remind myself what was really important. I love to game and spend hours doing it after I hit 273 pounds something had to change and I needed to be more…

Heartbreak could be a reason to start but for a long term change you will need better motivation. Your heart will not be broken forever and to continue with your change you will need to find another force to drive you like feeling better about who you are as aa person. I hate you have a broken heart and you can use it as…

Stay strong I love to game too. I try to make my gaming time a reward for getting my workout done. If I dont have time to work out then no time to game. If you stick to that you will workout everyday for the rest of your life lol. Oh and if you work out like I do 5 days in the gym two days off then those days off game…

I eat 6 times a day. I eat a lot of protine because I lift weights at the gym 3 days a week. I also use protine shakes (AMP) wich is fantastic. The best snack I have are the nature valley bars the granola is awesome. What kind of exercises are you going to do?

I go to the gym and do free weights and increase my weight slowly. I warm up with 15 min on the treadmill at a 6% incline at 3.5 mph then I hit the weights. I do my abs everyday I go to the gym which is 5 days a week and I alternate legs and arms. I was lucky to have access to a free personal trainer who set my routine for…

this made my day thank you

Great job lady you keep up the good work!!!

I started at 273 and the very first workout I did was the 30day shred with Jillian Micheals. I got to level 3 when I started lifting weights at the gym. You can start strength at anytime with the Jillian Micheals videos you do both at the same time and it really takes the weight off I lost 25 pounds in the first 30 days ti…

Thank you, It makes me feel so good that someone thinks of me as a fitness rock star lol. You are a great leader lady and Purple will kill this :wink:

Ok ladies I wanted to let all of you guys in on a little secret. I do abs 5 days a week I do 3 rounds of 20 situps so that is 60 a day. I was thinking if we all dropped and did 20 sit ups and pushups 3 to 4 times a day we will kill this challange. I can do my whole ab routine in about 15 min and all together that is 60…

That is wonderful I love old clothes fitting :)

15000 was my final count I am kinda bummed to know we have to vote ffor someone now it is so much easier when they make the decision

Knocked out 4000 steps toinight so that puts me to about 6400 all together. I am hopeing to reach over 10000 steps before Sunday. GO PURPLE!!!!!!!! :bigsmile:

I did both and I didnt notice a drop in my progress my trainer said it was great that I was doing it on my cardio days.
