I'm in the same boat. Trying to stay focused!! Good luck to you.

If you post something without saying you didn't write it, you are claiming ownership. It's called stealing. Once the source is posted the reader can decide if it's something they agree with or not. Otherwise it's just advice you shouldn't be giving.

I have to say I sleep a ton. Sometimes I do a bit of yoga to unwind, in bed by 9, read, asleep by 10 or 11pm to wake up around 8am. I can say sleep definitely makes a difference.

ew, I think i just threw up a little.

When I started gaining weight, my body started storing everything on my gut. As I got heavier, it spread to other areas. When I started losing weight, my arms, boobs (damn) were the first to shrink, then my stomach, then my face. I lost close to 10 inches in my stomach and I only lost about 14 pounds so far. I do a ton of…

This probably isn't the most helpful response but carbs aren't your worst enemy. I eat a ton of pasta and bread and I'm losing weight just fine. It's just about moderation. edit: Yeah, what she said above me :)

I do a ton of yoga, which strengthens and targets certain parts of your body. You don't have to lift weights to get in your strength training. I do it almost every day, but only because it's usually coupled with cardio. I might have one rest day because I don't usually target the same body parts. I just get cranky if I…

omg, you look amazing!!!!

Man, it took me like 2 months to lose 6 pounds...

I never drank soda before I discovered the skinny *****. Haha! I might have one once every couple of weeks. With that being said, I know the reason I gained weight was because I was eating way too much of the "healthy" stuff. Olive oil, walnuts, avocado. All soooo healthy but pack quite the calorie punch. It's all about…

Totally. I love them over easy.

vegetarian here too!! Please feel welcome to friend me.

weird, double post.

Dude I am so excited for that expansion!

Yikes. There isn't anything wrong with drinking a soda every now and then, the same reason you can have a cup cake every now and then. Do you eat french fries? Sometimes restaurants don't change their oil for months and you are putting that poison into your body. We can sit here all day long and say don't eat this, don't…

I don't think I need any help. I've already pooped like 4 times already today!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhh.

One slice of cheese is 580 calories??? Are you sure??? Jesus!! haHAHA.

I wholeheartedly agree. Happy Thanksgiving!!

honey mustard. thumbs up!

I think a lot of what people have said is correct: tracking your calories definitely is what helps you to lose weight. Without doing so, some people fail. However, with that being said, if you reach your goal and have a grip on your weight, I don't think you have to spend your entire life counting calories to maintain.…

How is your bed? Do you need to flip the mattress or invest in a better one? When I was younger I slept on a futon for a while and god it killed me! Also we bought a brand new bed and the middle of it was bowing - we had to put books and crap under it so we could have a painless sleep. As far as exercising goes, there are…

Everything you said pretty much rings true for me also. This quoted sentence especially. Good advice!

If I go over my calories by 100-200 one day a week I don't sweat it. It's usually friday or saturday night when I squeeze in an extra drink or so. However, I do make sure I exercise on those days.

Yikes. I had trouble reading that.

I think about food and drinking in this way: Losing weight, and maintaining it, is a life change. To make this work, am I willing to give <insertnamehere> up? I love drinking and will always do so. My goal is to lose a pound a week and I'm able to drink wine with dinner, or even a couple skinny *****es (I use vodka and…

Ha! I'm not worried about a thing on thanksgiving. The worst thing that could possibly happen is you gain a pound. I think a day of not worrying is worth it but I don't see a problem with me losing focus once the holiday is over.

Just make sure you eat at least 30 minutes before you to go bed so your body isn't up late processing. I would definitely eat something though or you could end up like me and wake up at like 3am totally starved!!!

Wow, I almost shed a tear at the end. That's so awesome. He had the support of his friends and family.

That is so awesome and the timing is perfect. The exact same story happened with me and I'm actually like augh! because I only have one pair of pants that fit at this point. The others are huge and I have to pull up to my belly button to make my butt look good. Congrats, girly! I'm going to celebrate with some more cardio…
