I LOVE all these positive responses you are getting, and you deserve it! I remember just a few months ago feeling the same way about that first completed mile, and it is a GREAT FEELING! Congrats!!!

These are very good points you make. I'm also at the 5-10 lb mark of losing weight and it's coming off really slow now! Just upped my calories, hoping for the same great results as you!

I agree with this^, as I am in the very same boat, at 131, trying to get to 125, but not stressing about it. Once I hit 132, the weight just stopped coming off so easy! It also depends on your age. I am 5'6" and when I got married 14 years ago, I was only 113. I was perfectly healthy, but in some honeymoon pictures, I look…

This would really be cool to find someone very close in everything: Angie Age 41 Height: 5'6" SW: 150 CW: 131 GW: 125

We are very similar, but you look much younger. :) Angie 5'6" SW 150 CW 131 GW 125 Age 41

We're close on several things: Angie Age 41 Height 5'6" SW 150 CW 131 GW 125

I agree with this...I've lost 18 lbs and I'm still wearing the same size, just a lot looser. In my case, I think I should have been wearing one size up before I started this process. But I was refusing to buy that bigger size, just wearing everything tighter. I'm just starting to feel like I "might" be into one size down…

I Love Losey, cute!

Good for you! Love it! My story is very similar, starting running in September, now hoping to run my first 5k next month. I just turned 41 and am now looking forward to the 40's! Last week I ran my first unofficial (self-timed) 5k in just under 30 minutes, it was such a great feeling of accomplishment. It is a great…

I call my Jillian Michael's workouts circuit training, and the dvd's are under $20 at Walmart or on Amazon. I saw someone reference them as such on here months ago, and you get more calories counted under exercise for circuit training, and I think that's accurate. She incorporates strength/cardio/abs into everything she…

I'll also recommend skinnytaste.com. She does a lot of Latin inspired dishes. I tried her Chipotle barbacoa beef recently, wonderful!

I find this an interesting topic, and I'm right there with ya! I've lost almost 20 lbs and the only ones to say anything are my very encouraging hubby and a woman that only sees me once a week. I thanked her big time! I feel like I drag encouragement out of everyone else, which is no fun. My closest friends know, because…

I have the same battle. I started out running, added the 30 day shred, and the results have been amazing for me. I didn't do the shred like she suggests, but only about 3 times a week. Moved to the next level when I got bored with that level. I'm trying to continue running and get going on ripped in 30 right now. I'm…

Good for you on the 60lbs, that's awesome! I am also hoping to run a 5K sometime within the next 3-6 months. I started running (more like jogging) in Sept 11', just adding a little bit of distance each week, similar to C25K, just didn't know it existed until this week, up to about 2 miles, I think. It's gotten to be…

Thank you so much! Yes, the fruits & veggies are a good idea, hard for me, but I need to do it. Are certain fruits high in fructose? I know too much fruit is not a good idea, just now sure about which ones.
