I am going to give it a try. Several of us at work are trying it. Please add me to the group and I will keep you posted on my progress. I've lost 70 pounds since October - not on Body by Vi--but my weight loss has slowed despite changing up my work outs and all the other things we do to get through plateau's. Thought I'd…

Thank you for your story. I am sorry that people did not see your inner beauty before you lost weight. I am happy they are now treating you the way that you should have been treated all along. God created only one you. You are unique and valued. You are God's masterpiece - whether you weigh 100 pounds and 400 pounds. It…

You look amazing! Great job! I don't lose weight quickly, I fight for every pound. I've lost 70 but it's taken 6 months and that's with 15 to 20 hours of exercise every week and never eating over 1400 calories - so I can relate( i have 135 more to go). Everyone says that the slower weight loss is better because you will be…

Mollie that is absolutely fantastic! You look amazing and even better I bet you are feeling amazing! I needed to see your post today. I've lost 70 but have 135 more to go - get so frustrated because I don't lose every week. It's taken me 6 months to lose the 70 pounds. Any tips to keep that scale moving?

You look fantastic! Your eyes are so shiny and alive! Congratulations on sticking with your plan and making it happen! G

Never weigh at night. My weight can vary as much as 5 pounds between night and morning! Weigh in the morning before you eat or drink anything.

Seize the day! New day to make right choices. The Weekends are harder for me as well. Instead of not allowing myself any of what everyone else is having I will have a small portion and eat a larger portion of the "healthy" items. This is a life change, you are going to have days that you follow your plan to the letter and…

Please count me in!

Hi! My name is Georganna. I will be 50 next Thursday. I am happily married with 2 grown children + 7 year old at home; 4 grandchildren and I am determined to lose this weight and be a healthy, active mom and grandmom. Fan of biggest loser work-outs - 30 day shred and power walk. I started changing my life the end of Sept.…

I like it but I did modify the jumping jacks - I do jack arms and one leg to the side at a time - with my knees I am not where I can jump yet - except in the water. I do the modified push ups on my knees. When there is something I cannot do I will either gently jog in place and do boxing moves with my arms or grab my…

As long as we (women) continue to buy into the TV idea of beauty they will keep doing it - so they can continue to sell us more make-up, clothes, shoes, etc... to give us the "perfect life". Beauty comes from within - it really does - starts in the heart and the spirit - but we continue to watch these ridiculous programs…

Do you live near a pool? If so, I highly recommend water jogging or water aerobics. You get a great workout and it doesn't damage your joints. I am obese have lost 51 pounds doing water exercise. When I first started back in October I was trying to walk but with both of my knees giving me problems I was in tears during and…

I am up at 4:30 and start training in the pool at 5. I love it! My life is busy and that is the only way I can get in 2 hours of training a day.

I chug a lug one when I get up - at room temp (16.9 oz bottle) before I go for my 5am deep water jogging. I chug a lug one about 7am - because for every cup of coffee I have to have a bottle of water and I love coffee I will usually have 2 more bottles before lunch - each time chug a lug. I also chug a lug a bottle after a…

That's great! Can you give me an example of what you would typically eat? I don't really care for meat. So I have not figured out how to do low carb without the meat or with limited meat. I also do not care for fish.

Awesome! You are doing fantastic! You look great! :)

I've lost 44 pounds in 74 days but I think the only reason it has happened is that I weighed over 300 pounds and was sedentary and probably ate between 3500 and 4500 calories a day. Dropped calorie intake to 1200 to 1400 1st 2 weeks did water aerobics 1 x per day for 1 hour each time(thought I was going to die) then…

The computer will tell you how many calories you need based on the info you put in and whether you want to lose 1 pound per week or 2. It also breaks down protein, carbs, etc... If you go below 1200 calories it will tell you that you are not eating enough. I have found that I just tell the truth. Part of the reason I got…

So we should skip the diet coke? Just kidding! I actually made it through thanksgiving and lost weight! Now to get through the Christmas season! Have a great day! :)

Hi! Welcome! I understand - I have been obese for 20 years going between 250 and 375. Prior to that my average weight was 135. I had tried everything. This time I am going to make it. Why? Instead of turning to unhealthy food I turn to God. I pray and walk when I am upset or anxious or feeling like I am going to lose…

You've lost 233 pounds. Congratulations! How long did it take to lose it?

Welcome! I've lost 28 pounds so far and have 160 to go. For the first time in 20 years I know I am going to make it to my goal. I eat a little of whatever I want as long as I am under my calories for the day. I also do water aerobics and deep water jogging for 1 hour each time twice a day. I am feeling stronger every day.…

We have some great resale shops in the area and I am trading in my larger clothes and keeping the store credits to get smaller clothes until I reach my ultimate goal and then look out mall ---for me 20 pounds = 1 size down. :drinker:

Welcome! I've been here a little over a month and I love it! It's easy to use and the people are great! Glad to have you on board! Congratulations on 53 pounds - that' s great! :)

Please count me in.

This pic makes me think of Saturday Night Fever, a little John Travolta, " Stayin Alive, Staying Alive". Haven't thought of Disco Dancing in quite awhile. Congratulations on the success of your hard work! You look great!

Good Morning! It's 4am and I am of course wide awake. That's one of things I just love about menopause. However, I am sure that I am not alone. Strange though, it was over a year since I've had a period and thought I was done with that and now that I've been exercising a losing weight I had a period last week. Has that…
