  • My children are my everything so finding a way to enjoy them and share all of their little moment while focusing on becoming me again is my goal. I already started but I've challenged myself to 2023 being the year that I focus some on me too! Good luck and happy New Year!
  • I started just shy of 300 pounds, and I don't believe you're ever done. Going on 5 years now and just getting where I want to be. Add me if you'd like my advice, but it's up to you. Good luck with your endeavors.
  • I've been where you're at, add me if you want and I can try to help you as much as possible. Just ask!
  • Hey there, anyone can add me. I log daily, and comment as much as possible. I'll try to help out anytime I can. On here for 310 days as of today.
  • 26 here 5'7 SW:298 CW:171 (as of today) GW:160 ish (Don't really care about the number, just want to lose a few more inches around my lower abdomen and tighten everything else up) Stronglifts 5x5 3 days a week (not lifting right now due to sore shoulder) and cardio 2x a week.
  • Whatever your weight, the size of the heel seems to make the most difference. I usually don't have a problem walking in heels even when I was 100 lbs heavier but I have a high arch, my best friend sticks to flats and short heels because she's flat footed and they kill her feet. The best thing I can think of is to find out…
  • You can get the dvd at walmart for less that $10. You will need dumbbells, depending on where your starting strength may lie. I would get 3-5 lb dumbbells. I used 5 lb, but some exercises made my shoulders hurt with those so I would use my 3 lb dumbbells. I did each level for 10 days and then moved to the next level. I…
  • I'm gonna take that as a no. haha
  • Losing weight with PCOS is definately doable for sure. I have proof. I know what you're going through, and yes there are tons of women on here with pcos. Just do not let it hinder your thinking and the weight will come off. It may take a little more time that normal but it is possible. I've been dealing with it for the…
  • I'm 26 and 173 lbs, and the doctor said I don't need to lose anymore, but everyone is built so different. Muscle vs. fat and body frames will make a difference for sure! I have a 32''.
  • Thank you!! I appreciate that. Just a bridesmaid though, not the bride yet.
  • Thank you, and I agree with the toned statement. I want to be tight and toned, and with that being said I'm weight training to increase muscle mass, decrease fat, and get that overall look.
  • It's taken me 4 years total to lose my weight, but I would lose then maintain then lose and maintain because the last thing I want is it coming back. I don't know how much more I want to lose but even when the scale doesn't move now, I'm ok with it.
  • When I started my weight loss I only walked. I started at a mile a day every day and got to where I was walking 5-7 miles atleast 3 times a week and 1 mile on the other days. I weighed 298 lbs and walking got me down to 220 lbs, and since then I've still continued to walk. I HATE RUNNING. But I've also added strength…
  • Oh, gotcha. I feel that is too much of a diet and not much of a lifestyle change I can stick to. I like to carb cycle which still gives me the results I'm looking for but without the cravings of all of those things you don't eat on low carb. Either way different things work for different bodies. So, good luck!
  • I love the idea of never quitting. The only time you fail is when you give up. Add me if you need a friend. I'd like to see your journey to the new you, and offer any support I can. Good luck everyone!
  • What do you consider low carb? Everyone's idea of low carb is so different.
  • LOL. Idk what your adversion is to carbs, but a great thing to do some research on is carb cycling. Good luck!
  • Hello all, I have found with the last bit of weight I have to lose the support and motivation goes a long way. If yall need a friend, add me. I'll give as much support and advice as I can. I won't call you out on eating a candy bar well only because I think eating clean leads to more cravings and such, but I may call you…
  • I'm not one to tell anyone what to do, just want to share an experience. I used the all natural HCG drops that go under your tongue along with the 500 cal diet per doctor request. I was on it about a month and lost about 25 lbs which is all great and grand, until I no longer had the desire to eat, I had to force feed…

Not just in weight but I want a tight toned body for the wedding and then a great body for summer. I want bathing suit shopping to be what I think is cute and not just what looks ok on me.

  • You all can add me if you'd like. My diary is public and everything I eat goes in it. I'm trying to finally finish my journey, but everyone can use support, and I would like to help motivate you too.
  • You can add me if you still need more friends. You have made the right step, and if you are really ready to make a change in your life then you will be successful. Just know it's only failure when you give up. If you have a bad day or even 2 bad days, get up brush yourself off and continue. You never have to restart…

  • Agree with this statement 100%! If it wasnt for measurements there are a few times I would've tried to change what I was doing even though it was working.
