I have had trouble lately, but that is because a lot of my calories were drinking soda. So I pretty much wasted food calories for sweet yummy soda. Because of that, I DO get hungry. And binge eating is a huge obstacle when you are hungry! I would go home to eat some wheat thins and cheddar and eat two servings or more at a…

Good luck William! I hope the best for you and your family!

I am just under 5'2". It took me 11 months to lose 24 lbs! I have 10 more to go to be where I want to be. In general, I have noticed a lot of negativity when it comes to talking about my goal weight or trying to lose from where I am not. I was always very thin growing up - 92 lbs when I graduated high school. I don't…

P90x right here; just started though. Day 4 is complete, and I am still alive! :tongue:

that's fantastic!

good thoughts!

P90x is a set of DVDs, each DVD being a different workout. Some are cardio, some weight training, an ab dvd and a yoga dvd too (don’t be fooled – this yoga is still a workout!). You get a schedule to follow based on what you want to do – basically “classic” or “lean”. I am starting the “lean program”. It’s hard, it will…

About 630 miles in one trip, by myself: Elkton, MD to Lexington, KY.

I hope to see some positive responses here! I have also had two kids, my second one leaving me with this weird wrinkled mess on my belly, especially around the belly button. As I have been losing weight, the skin is getting a little better, but not bikini-ready, no sir! Tightening your ab muscles will also help the skin to…

I started it in January but had to bum out while I finish school. Now I am down to about 2 weeks left of school, so time to start again! I loved it while doing it, though it was pretty brutal at times. The yoga was REALLY long, but I think part of that is from me being out of shape in addition to not having the "zen"…

I am not sure repulsive is the word I am looking for, but there is a weight bias out there. A lot of people feel like overweight people have not self-control, are sloppy, or unmotivated. It's a shame that people are so judgemental based on appearance only.

I have four more weeks of school! YAY US!! Anyhow, I work full time 1st shift, have two kids, married to a great guy who is also a full time student, and he works 2nd shift. Needless to say, life is B U S Y !!! I talk the kids in a stroller and walk each evening. I ONLY take the stairs at work - work on the 4th floor - 2…

P90x has short DVD called Ab Ripper X, and they are not playing around, that is for sure! I am focusing one more month on mostly cardio so I can shed the weight and burn the fat, and starting in May I am going to start the Ab Ripper to supplement my walks (hopefully jogging soon!), my baby weights (3 lb dumbbells, LOL),…

^^^ this. A friend and I split a "bonus" (20% more or something ignorant) pack of double stuffed oreos in about 3 hours. Since then, it's been 13 years since I have eaten an oreo cookie.

^^^ this. Your body is not getting enough fuel to feel secure enough to 'let go' of what it IS getting. Eating that little, your body thinks it must save what it is getting in case it doesn't get more - this is "starvation mode". By increasing your calories, your body will recognize that it gets appropriate nurtirion and…

I feel like a lot of times the negatives stem from jealousy or insecurity. Jealous of will power, jealous of competition, jealous of whatever. Your sister may feel like her place was "the skinny one", and now that you have lost weight, she could feel like you are "taking" that from her. People have weird feelings…

-Looking down and seeing my boobs stick out further than my belly! -Feeling energized by a walk instead of worn out. -Being HAPPY with making a healthy choice, instead of feeling like I am missing out!

Close! 5'2, 126 - would like 115 but would be thrilled with 110

Definitely with you on this one. My husband could care less, to be honest. I would tell him I wanted to eat a cake, “sure honey what kind do you want?” I would tell him I lost 2 lbs, “that’s good, hmm”. I think we all want someone to be excited with us when we accomplish something that means so much, and we all want…

First - gained 50 lbs!! OH my. I lost it all very quickly without doing much besides breastfeeding. My skin went back where it was supposed to and all of that. I was 117 when I went back to work - 8 weeks. Most of my weight was fluid (I had preeclampsia). By the time I was pregnant again, I had gained weight - started at…

I am an "old" young mom, LOL. 29, two beautiful kids - 3 1/2 and 1. You can definitely lose the weight if you are ready to work at it! I changed my eating habits and started getting active - down 19 lbs since mid-August!! Hoping my weigh-in this Saturday makes it 20 lbs lost!

^^^ now I feel lame, because my weights are the same as a 5 year old, LOL :laugh:

Married with two kids here – 3 ½ and 1. I work days, my husband works evenings (5-11 or so). We both are students as well. Any free time we have is usually running errands or doing homework! If he is home and the kids are napping, I’ll go for a walk (hopefully jog soon!) in the neighborhood by myself. Any other days, it’s…

I am a hair under 5'2" - my goal is 113. Started at 145 in August; down to 126 now. I am sure I'll reach my goal this summer!

Don't give up! I had to start eating more in order to start losing weight. Sounds strange, I know, but the body stops burning the pounds if you operate at too low of a calorie deficit. And remember that the scale is not your friend! It lies!! I have only lost 5 ridiculous pounds since I started actively working out. My…

you look fab!

We just have an "ours" account. Both of our checks go in the account and we pay everything from that. We've never fought about money. I think if both people are happy, do what works - "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Beastie Boys - Intergalactic

Encore - JayZ/Linkin Park anything Eminem This is Why I'm Hot Not my usual music, LOL, but it just does it for me! Listen to Eminem Radio on I Heart Radio, LOL EDIT: also a fan of Kings of Leon to get me going, anything from Fall Out Boy's "From Under the Cork Tree"
