I quit smoking 4 years ago and have lost weight (about 115-120 pounds). Smoking was holding me back from losing weight because I didn't see the point in exercising or getting healthy when I was doing something so unhealthy. It's possible, you just have to get your mind right and not expect to always be perfect. I have…

I'm new to this group so this is my first time posting but I've been doing SL for a while. Just got done with my workout - Squats -- 5x5 @ 130 OHP -- 3x5 @ 45, 1X5 @ 50 1X3 @ 45 -- I struggle with OHP....not making much progress on upper body for some reason. Deadlift -- 2X5 @ 135. Did one set and then did a second to show…

I do this too sometimes and I think it's because the weights are too heavy. If I struggle and lift my hips I take a longer rest, and try to concentrate on my form. If you don't want to lower your weight maybe just do 2 or 3 reps in the last sets until you build up that strength. I am stubborn though, and always try to push…

I gave up smoking and got serious about getting healthy 2 years ago (september 2010). I read a book called the Easy Way to Stop Smoking. I did slip up and smoke a couple (while I was drinking) over the summer but other than that, I have been smoke free : ) I've lost a good bit of weight too. It's possible if you take it…

Don't get discouraged - remember that you are doing this for yourself and it is a process that takes time! No one noticed mine or my husby's weight loss until we lost 40 pounds.

This book worked for me too. It helps cut through all the bull**** that we tell ourselves...I thought I enjoyed smoking too but really, that was just the addiction talking.

I'm working on some of those issues as well and I'm reading some Geneen Roth books about compulsive eating. Worth checking out if you haven't already : )

I read in a magazine that your metabolism is higher during your period and you may be burning extra calories because of it. I am hungry all the time during my period but I try to eat healthy foods and reap the benefits of having a higher metabolism for those days. :)

I only drink on one or two nights a week. You need to make changes that you can live with and that is what happens to work for me. I've lost 100 pounds over the past 1 1/2 years - it's been slow progress but I feel like I've found a balanced lifestyle I can maintain for the rest of my life.

I've lost 100 pounds over the course of almost 2 years and I'm still losing...and I don't have any noticeable saggy skin. Here are my tips - lose the weight slowly, strength train and drink plenty of water. You're so young your skin will tighten up after losing weight. I used to worry about saggy skin but not any more,…
