Frustration was huge for me in this journey. Along with making a commitment to better my health, I also went through a messy divorce and was in graduate school full time. I was frustrated with everything: not having enough time to work out, get healthy food at the grocery store; upset that at 28 I was so ridiculously…

Definitely on the day shift now! Ha! The biggest tip for me was to have an in person accountability partner. I cannot tell you how MUCH that helped me. There were days that I hated having that person - especially when they would point out that I hadn't exercised, I had gotten off track, etc. But, at the same time they were…

Love breakfast sandwiches! Thanks! Never thought of making my own!

Will have to try! Thanks!

7 1/2 months to lose a 100. Have now lost 117 in 10.75 months now. Profile picture is the before and after :)

You Tube has lots of free workout videos.. On days I'm stuck in the house I'll hook it to my TV. Have done everything from Jillian Michaels to Tae Bo!

Hey darlin! Looks like you are off to a great start! Swimming is a great calorie burner and also helps with toning as well! Walking is always good. As far as biking when I started getting on a bike was out of the question! I got a type of stationary bike that was just the pedals. I could sit on the couch and pedal away or…

Thanks!

Thanks!! Best of luck!!

I'm with Savage on this one -- classes are a blast! Love ones that incorporate some type of dance! Also really enjoy any piece of equipment in the cardio theater room -- pitch black with treadmills, ellipticals stair steppers and bikes -- with a huge movie screen playing movies all day! Makes cardio so much more enjoyable…

You can try the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred for free on YouTube.. They have all three levels! That's how I usually do her workouts. A girl at work is making a copy of the Insanity videos for me -- excited to try them!

Sounds fun! I always like the extra accountability!

Bolthouse Farms Yogurt dressing found in the refrigerator section. Range from 35 to 40 calories per serving with flavors like: ranch, blue cheese and parmigiano caesar. Pretty tasty!

Oh just say this -- I'll see if I can incorporate more throughout the rest of the week :) Monday - 4 Tuesday - 1 Running total: 5 (Are we counting tomatoes as a fruit or a veggie?) if tomatoes count then total would be 7 :)

Keep at it!! It sounds like you have started doing some great things this past week!! Don't let the scale deter you from continuing to better yourself. There are quite a few things which might help to explain the slight gain -- one especially being your TOM. Keep your chin up! I've found that measuring using a tape measure…

Thanks girl! I was actually browsing for some w/o videos last night! Appreciate the feedback!

BOOMER!!!!!!!!!!!! Although I will cheer for the cowboys -- as long as it's not a Bedlam game :smile:

Hey y'all!! My name is Michelle and I am 28. I love the color pink and can't bring myself to leave the house without a headband! Currently a nurse in an ICU working on my doctorate in acute care nursing. I've been heavy most of my life.. Lost about 140lbs when I got married and then put it all back on over the last three…

I do the same thing! I want to surround myself with people that understand the struggles of losing weight but that also understand things like being excited when a airplane lap belt fits!!!

Hey y'all!! My name is Michelle. A few years ago I weighed 207 and never realized how great that was!! Three years have elapsed and I practically doubled my weight! One step at a time!!! I'm down about 34 lbs - still have a long way to go but am excited about what the future holds! Looking for some extra support and…

I think we could all use a little support! I started around 365. Feel free to add me!

Hey y'all!!! I'm 28 started at 366 and down a touch over 30lbs. I would be ecstatic if the number on the scale started with a 1! (199.9 would make me happy!!) Just looking for a bit of support as I tackle this journey! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
