AWESOME:laugh:

How amazing! You have inspired me! Thanks for the tip about the calorie intake. I'm going to try it and see how it works for me! :flowerforyou:

Hi Amanda and welcom to MFP :) you will love it! I would love to be your friend and we all can use the support of others. I will send a friend request so you can add me as a friend.

I have an hour for lunch...I usually bring my lunch spend 30 mins eating lunch then I walk, briskly for the remaining 30 mins of my lunch break. I work out with DVD's 3 to 5 times a week in the evenings. Would love to be able to do it in the mornings but I teach a Seminary class, 5 teenagers in my house learning the Old…

I didn't stop eating what I like...I just eat less of it and I prepare it differently. Truthfully it works and I don't feel like I'm depriving myself....I LOVE CHOCOLATE but it's not something that I can have every day and when I do I only take a bite or two. I firmly believe that if you try to completely cut out what you…

Amazing results and you look great....:bigsmile:

I just joined two weeks ago and I could use some more friends so count me as one of yours.:bigsmile:

Wow, I really can tell a difference :smile: Keep up the great work!

I have very little means also but I was lucky enough to have some videos that I bought a long time ago that are now coming in handy...I would be willing to bet that if you ask some of your friends and family they probably have a workout dvd that they bought and aren't using and would loan it to you....this would give you a…

Absolutely AMAZING! It is easy to see that you are now a very determined individual and I have no doubt you will continue to lose the weight that you wish to....keep up the good work and God Bless!

Great job and thanks so much for the motivation! You look great!

Another way to avoid water retention is to make sure you are consuming the proper amount of water...if you are not drinking enough water your body will hold onto every drop it gets because it has to have it to work properly. It's similar to putting your body in starvation mode when it comes to eating...if you don't eat…

You could try substituting fat free yogurt for the fruit...it only has 80 to 90 calories per 6oz and comes in many flavors.

I recommend drinking a very large glass of water about 15 minutes before you eat....this gives you a feeling of being full and helps you not to over eat. Also, stick to just the foods that you truly love and eat the correct portion size. Then try to work in 60minutes of extra exercise during the holiday weeks....eat it…

I completely understand how hard it can be to cook and eat healthy...I find it hard myself. A couple of things you can do, is take 1 hour a week and make out the weekly menu...this also helps you save at the grocery store; prepare meals ahead of time and freeze them so all you have to do is pull them from the freezer and…

I know exactly how you feel! Procrastination was my middle name and I just finally decided today that I had had enough of feeling tired and feeling like I was trapped in someone else's body! Surely this couldn't be my body!! Feel free to add me as a friend.

Thanks and congrats on the 43lbs lost FANTASTIC!!

I agree completely! Support is the best tool we can have and with the holiday's coming up it's going to be tuff for everyone so lets keep each other motivated!

Thanks Kateland and congrats on your weight loss that's AWESOME!
