Yes, I edited my post...lol. Long story but I requested a replacement DVD because mine was scratched and its taken over a month. I called and they basically said they dropped the ball. Promised to send it in 24 hours, blah blah blah. My coaches (I have two accounts - again LONG story and another reason for my frustration)…

HAHA!! By far my favorite answer!!! :)

Do a quick Google search and you will find SEVERAL articles about the dangers of diet pop. Including anything from bloating, increase in appetite to diabetes and kidney problems. Granted, I'm sure my 2-3 cans a day aren't THAT harmful but if I'm going to adopt a healthy lifestyle I want to do it right. One or two…

I'm in :)

Thanks everyone. The meds I was on before were horrible. They made me sleep all day and eat when I was actually awake. I felt like a zombie. Was a horrible mother (because I did nothing but sleep) and they caused more depression. I told my doctor and we never really found the right meds for me. I got tired of trying and…

Thank YOU!!! :)

Try to Whole Wheat pasta! I'm a carb freak...LOVE pasta. But the calories are unbelievable. So I started mixing half regular and half whole wheat.

You look AMAZING!!

A waste of time? The answer for me is absolutely not. I've been married twice. The first time was with my high school sweetheart. We were young and immature and had to grow up together. Unfortunately that path took us two completely different directions. I still wouldn't consider that a waste of time because out of that…

I have bands I keep next to my desk so I can use them at lunch time. I also have bicycle pedals that fit under my desk for some impromptu cardio. Also, I have a balance ball I occasionally swap out for my desk chair. :)

Bump for future reading :)

If you dread doing the exercise videos then don't do them. Find something you will enjoy. Yes, winter months hamper mobility but there has to be SOMETHING you enjoy that gets you moving. Do you have Kinect? Perhaps a new game you can buy? I love the dancing games and Wipeout. You certainly work up a sweat doing it. How…

You can add me...always looking for friends to help keep me motivated :)

Oh! Can I join too? SW - 166 GW - 158 UGW - 145

How fun!!! Ok, I'm in. However, so as not to scare the feint of heart I may refrain from posting any pics :noway:

I can totally relate!! I lost 25# last year and have gained almost every pound back. Drinking and Depression are my downfall. BUT, 2014 is a new beginning for me! Since I've rededicated myself I've lost another 5 pounds (mostly water) and see some of my muscle definition back! Add me and we can keep each other accountable!

Well, seems as though your friend was trying to help. With that being said, I agree with you. I think you are doing fine. I would definitely stay away from the boxed meals. I don't much care for them.

I'm all about weight loss buddies...need all I can get! :)

Bump for shake recipe!!

AWESOME POST!! Thank you so much. I figured out I have been eating 200 calories less than I should every day. Thank you to everyone who responded. I think I will continue to try my elliptical since I love it so much. Other than that, I must be diligent about my diet - the one part I really have the hardest time with. *sigh*

What is fitorbit.com? Do you like it? Is it worth the money?

Thanks. I'm really considering it since I have some issues with my back and knees. But money is always an issue.

In before the mods close it! lol

Thanks guys, I do planks and military pushups when my schedule allows. I will try reverse crunches and keep up with my diet!

I know exactly how you feel. I lost 25 pounds last year and have gained back all but three so far. I am starting over as of last week. Its been a hell of a year for me and probably one of the most stressful in my life. I've faced the death of my mother and a huge estrangement and abuse from my teenage daughter. Beer was my…

Me too!!

This is my second go round with this. The first time I lost over 25 pounds. A year and SEVERAL life changing situations later I'm 3 pounds away from my original weight. So frustrated and down on myself. But this time I will do it and KEEP IT OFF!! I swear! Feel free to add me for motivation/support!

Wow! You look amazing! But you totally should've kept the chest hair! :)

If you are brave enough to stand in front of a camera and have your picture taken in your underwear and POST IT ON THE INTERNET..then GO FOR IT! Besides, from most of the posts I've seen, the underwear pics cover more than the bikini pics do. They are proud of the work they've done and rightfully so. Carry on.

Bump...this sounds delicious
