His support will be invaluable! I would have struggled so much more without the support of my husband. The process brought us so much closer and made us into such a good 'team' in this and everything else we do. We hit our goal weights together - 30lbs for him and 40lbs for me in about 7 months. I kick-started our get…

I realized I felt like I was missing out on my own life. There are so many things to think about - I didn't want negative weight feelings to be one of them anymore.

I can go for so much longer with intervals (and burn more calories) since I have that recovery time to keep myself focused. Also, there is something satisfying when you sprint so fast and can feel your…

Yay! I have so much trouble slimming my thighs - that's awesome you lost an inch! Focus on the positives and keep on trucking :) You will reach your goal!

Make sure you log your exercises too so that you know how many extra calories you need to eat. Understanding that helped me push past a wall.

Awesome - thanks so much for your help!

Wow, I just wanted to say I found this article and the one on the extra exercise calories so helpful! I'm in phase 4 and have seen my progress slow down and been having random headaches. I was starting to loose motivation and worrying that when I do hit my goal that I will have to be eating less than I am now since I would…

Yay! Congrats :)
