lots of success in 2010...are you ready for 2011??? :)

i try to avoid it b/c of the sodium and it makes me feel bloated. but if i need a drink aside from water with no calories i choose diet dr pepper. diet dr pepper in my opinion is the best diet soda. personally i have lost 40 lbs before and did it while drinking diet soda regularly. then again i did gain all 40 back plus 20…

I would have never thought that those two pics were the same person Great job with your success

I agree I'd like to hear some thoughts on that too I've always thought the same thing...that it'd make more sense to lose the fat first then tone

i'm currently 180.4 i graduated in 2004 and was at 160

SW 180.4 Exercise routine...treadmill 30-60 minutes, 4-5 days/wk

#162

haha. i was wondering that SAME thing and then i scrolled down and saw your comment! haha!

you all have done a fantastic job!

thanks everyone for the info. i'll give those things a shot. and someone on this thread mentioned walking with 1 lb weights...my treadmill CAME with 1 lb weights! thats so great! thanks for all the tips everyone!

thanks. yeah i keep telling myself that. i hope that after a while it'll get easier and i'll get to work out even longer.

thanks everyone!!! :) i'm so glad i have everyones support and you all motivate me!!!

thanks. i agree. i'm wanting to lose weight. but i've noticed that it also helps with my headaches and tiredness in the evenings. for yrs my routine has been to work 8 hrs and then come home and do nothing. just sit. and i'm so tired and i get a headache almost every night. but exercising actually makes me feel much better.

congrats! ps the boots look amazing

that's wonderful!!!

you should use your zumba dvd! or just alternate between the ones you have! i bought 30 day shred a while back and *finally* done it yesterday but omg i only lasted like 15 minutes. it was tough. but i'm sure if you stick with it it should get easier. zumba looks like so much fun though!!!

thanks you two and great job CarolHudson11!

i'm 5'3. i was once 160 and got down to 120! i wasn't toned at all though and I don't remember what size my clothing was. but fast food got to me and i gained and got up to 181. i'm 179.6 now and i'm looking to get down to 115-120 :)

wow..that's like a commercial ad...that's amazing! you look wonderful! great job!

thanks for the responses everyone. i realized the 10 speed means 1.0 and 20 speed is 2.0 etc. and i figured out how to changed the settings to 2.5, 2.6, etc. i done 30 minutes at 3.0 with a 2% (sometimes 3%) incline and then done another 30 minutes = 1 hr :) it was a good workout but it says (and mfp says) that i only…

you look great! great job!

You can do it! Good luck!

great quote in your signature!

You can't tell a difference?! Yes! There IS difference. You can definitely tell that you've lost weight AND you look much younger. By looking at those two pics it kinda looks like a mother and daughter (daughter being the current pic). Does anyone else agree? You look great! :)

what do you mean...'lie on my drivers license'? do you have to put your weight on there or something? just curious. good luck with the challenge...i'm hoping to lose in 2011 too! what date are you getting married?

I was thinking of buying this but I saw on Ebay that the prices for both the DVD's and even the Wii game are around the same price. Doesn't the Dvd's have a lot more workout options than the actual game?

I'm in!

thats great!!!!:)

beautiful! and i really love your hair down! looks great! congrats on the loss!

Congrats! I don't post a lot either..but stories like this really motivate me. Great job! :)
