I love hearing this... sometimes it feels like I'm the only person in the world who DIDN'T have success with WW. Not that it's not a great program - I'm not here to WW bash as it has helped a lot of people in my life lose the weight. For some reason it never worked for me and I felt like a big failure. Here, I am much…

No, you're not obsessed. You're doing what you need to do to get where you want to be! I've recently been accused of being a workout junkie. I smiled and proudly said, "Yes, I am!" Next time someone makes the comment, just smile and own your results and your hard work.

That was an amazing read. So many high fives to you and your victory today. Victories, actually... each time you wanted to say "Hell, No!" and you said instead, "Hell, Yes!" You are right up there with Superman today, my friend.
-
Thank you for sharing! That was amazing. Congratulations on your victory!
-
I. Love. This! :happy: (also your profile pic. Adorable.)

I'm in... and done... cause I did 238 in bootcamp class today. Great idea!

Definitely hire a trainer for a session or two to show you how to use the machines, that way you won't feel as awkward AND you'll be able to use those machines properly, and then just go and do it. Bring your music, do your thing, and as you get more comfortable doing it, you won't even notice the people there. Does your…

^This! Exactly how I read this post and better than I'd have said it! :smile:

First of all - the guy is a jerk. (Insert stronger word of your choice here). That was his idea of a hard sell, and frankly, he failed. Making someone want to quit is not exactly gonna get you clients as a personal trainer. Just my opinion. I'd probably have told him to enjoy the view of my fat rear end my the way out. You…

I think you can do either, honestly, that said, you have really nice eyes. Show them off! :smile:

My mother in law. Is that wrong?? ;)

I'm on the C25K bandwagon too. I "hated" running - now I can't wait to get out there. Also - do not slack on your shoes. Go to a running store, have your feet measured, try on a bunch of pairs of shoes and talk to the salesperson until you feel you have the best fit. Spend the money - the right shoes will help keep…

I don't know you, or your relationship, so this might seem harsh... this is concerning. He's really seeming anti- you getting healthy. I know he doesn't need to be running alongside you, cheering you on - but it kinda seems (from your posts) that he's actually starting to sabotage you. Making sure you don't choose…

Super fast weight loss doesn't generally stick, and it's really hard on your body. It's so much better to lose it more slowly and allow your body to adjust. If this is a lifestyle change you're aiming for, baby steps are truly the way to go. I know it's frustrating, believe me - I am going down very slowly myself. Hang in…

You look amazing! And I love that dress. WTG!
-
Bet you're gonna get hated on some for this one... That said - I loved it! I truly hope you were aiming for "amusing" on this post, cause it was downright hysterical. Sorry I'm laughing at your expense, but as I was reading your post, I was picturing my own husband trying to do a Zumba (or any) class with me, and finding…

Any time you're having the kinds of issues you've described, no matter what, you need to see your doctor and figure out the root cause. I am not a doc, so I won't even speculate on possibilities, but please do see one. And also... props to you for not only choosing to be healthier but also listening to your body and…

Hang in there, girl. My hubs is the saaaaaaame way. The man can drop pounds almost by looking at lettuce, and I fight for every pound down. But you know what, that man is hanging by my side cheering on every victory no matter how small. He'll slow down his runs to stay beside me, then head on out alone after I'm done…
-
First off, high five for starting! Hang in there. It was simply awful the first time I worked out. I also hated to sweat. But I stuck to it, and I stuck to it, and now, I am more or less addicted to exercise. So many props to you for doing it... the first step is the toughest. You're worth it.
-
You look amazing! Congrats and keep up the great work! You're truly an inspiration.

Can you snap a picture of her car in the no parking zone, tags visible? Then you can show it to the patrol when he comes by, and let him know she's become an issue and approximately when she parks there. Don't confront her again, it won't do any good. People like that will escalate the situation and you don't need that in…

This is one of the most positive bits of advice I've seen on this site in a long time. Thanks - you helped me out with this one too!
-
You are awesome - I love this.
-
It would be so nice if the people that are supposed to love us the most would actually act like they love us... where's the unconditional support? Also, I'm getting really tired of the "skinny-bashing" I'm seeing everywhere. I am by no means skinny - I have a lot more work to do - but I don't want to have to deal with…
-
I kind of love you guys... And for the first time ever I'm saying it too - I AM FAT! Being fat doesn't make me any less awesome. It just means there's something I need to work on. And I've been doing it every day for the last two months, and I'm gonna KEEP doing it every day for the rest of my life. Cause it feels SO MUCH…
-
I'm with you guys. I'm getting ready to go out, feeling good, thinking I look awesome... It's not til I see myself in pics and think "Who's the fat girl? Oh, wait... ****." that I realize how big I've allowed myself to get. I guess we see what we want to see - and we've all learned the right way to stand in the mirror. I'm…
-
Way to GO!!!! You look AMAZING! You're my new inspiration.
-
I'm with you all... My ultimate goal is to lose 60-70 pounds... I'd be over the moon with 50!

Dear Other Military Wives: I don't care if your husband was gone for 46 months while you were pregnant with your 6th baby, starting your home-based business, homeschooling the kids of your whole block, and re-establishing the economy of a third world country. My issues are JUST as valid as yours, my life is JUST as…

Congratulations! You have worked SO hard and gone through a lot to look as amazing as you do. And wow - talk about courage. I am so impressed by your willingness to share those pics with us. You are truly an inspiration to me as I begin my journey. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
