that was my first reaction too. My guy friends and I talk crap to eachother a lot.

i love this! great work ladies!!

If she is a family member, I would definitely (privately) inform her of the health risks. After that it's up to her, but at LEAST you will have a clear conscious.

great job! you look so cute!

WOW! amazing results. great job

Then don't diet... it's not necessary. You're putting way too much pressure on yourself right off the bat, no wonder you can't stay motivated! Instead of going in fast and hard- why not try slowly like walking, or jogging and then easing your way into other workouts. You have to walk before you run.

I just don't like the mixed messages sent out to billions of children out there who adore the Disney characters. So they're cute + fun before but NOW they are gorgeous and stylish because they're toothpicks? Ridiculous. I was surprised that Disney partook in this.

yep!! lots a fun;)

that just made me LOL! Prob because its true.... I like the idea though just get more involved with physical activities you can both do, hopefully that will lead to a gained interest in health and fitness. Good luck!

I found a couple of stores that sell gently used second hand name brand clothing and accessories- LOVE IT! Best place to get "interim" clothing! Plus I like the idea of recycling :) Spending 1/4 of the $ is a plus too.... And you find some really great vintage and non traditional stuff... really cool.

It's only been 2 months but you have a lot invested in this. The thing to consider is you have kids which consumes a lot of our time... doesn't sound like he has any other commitments other than work... and he probably uses that to keep himself and his mind busy.... as apposed to working and then spending the rest of his…

Each has pro's and con's- it depends what your needs are. Outside is far more entertaining for the most part, but it can also be dangerous when drivers and such don't pay attention. I love being out doors feeling the natural breeze and subtle inclines and declines are just enough to keep me alert. Treadmill is probably…

I wear makeup about twice a month lol i just hate having crap on my face.

cool!

damn good results!!! you're looking great!

She might not realize how easy it really is to eat healthy. I often used to think of it as a chore too. As far as the motivation, mine came from within myself. Although I give my husb. crap all the time for "not telling me" how heavy I was getting. As if it's his job! lol

I agree. Great job on your success, i love your attitude. Keep up the great work!

As much as I'd like to say what I see in the mirror- the sad truth is the number on the scale means a lot to me (i know it shouldn't) Although, fitting into smaller jeans and clothes is an awesome feeling all in itself- that is a huge factor for me.

^ Me too. In her defense, fish generally is a healthier option than red meat. Not saying a fish filet from Mc D's is healthy but i can see where her mind set was. Everybody has to start somewhere right?

I am frequently in this situation. I don't really care personally, because it's their body and I'm quite sure they know what they look like when they left the house. If her boobs were in my face all day though, that would be different. Otherwise I just ignore it.

omg wow! that's amazing progress in only 6 months!

take it easy, and screw everyone else. You're there for you. I was super nervous my first time I did Zumba too. Sometimes it feels good to just fight your fears :) Good luck!

This is crossfit??! what? i dont understand why they are being cheered on instead of corrected? YEAH! GO GIRL! BREAK YOUR BACK!

HAHAH!!!! that's awesome! :D

OMG this is SO funny. The way you tell it I could visualize the whole scene! Too funny... I'm glad you two are together :) Love prevails over "un-lady like" farting! :D

wow, amazing results so far.

Bay area! :)

Yep. I think many/most of us do experience this on some level. The key is to KEEP GOING. Failure only happens when you give up completely.

wow you are so pretty :) based on the face only it looks like you've lost more than 12 lbs! great work

At the gym I had stepped off the treadmill to tie my shoe or something, I usually paused the session but for some reason I wanted to be cool like the other pro's and just jumped off... Well, when getting back on I forgot that the belt was still going and fell flat on my face. Mortified. Luckily i was in the back row and no…
