I wish I didn't live in an upper floor apartment so I could do 30DS :( Your guys results are AMAZING! Guess I'll stick to the gym for now, but I think Jillian definitely gives a great workout!

My asthma is actually allergy aggravated, so I can do indoor exercises without a problem for the most part, but since it's only seasonal I don't want to start on steroids (neither does my doctor) or anything like that. Once I join the Y I could maybe do C25K but honestly- I don't see much point in running. Walking has…

Thank you for all of the advice! Yes, I do know what a CPAP is because my dad is a respiratory therapist, so I know how incredibly difficult it is to get your life back together when a doctor prescribes one! Kudos to you, though, CPAPs are no fun. Do you have an app on your nano that allows you to use it as a pedometer? I…

Lots of very good ideas! I'll look into those :) I really want an elliptical, but I don't know if that would be loud or not!

Haha that would be MARVELOUS! I did see something on Dr. Oz about the GOOD side effects of weight loss in men... Hmm :)

Thank you, that is very inspiring! I think walking is one of the best exercises out there. I found something on pinterest about how good walking is for you! Good luck to you too :)

Oh yes, it's just that I was doing sooo well losing weight and I was so motivated, then when I'd start gaining, I just went back to old ways! I need to get a calendar and just start crossing off days to my 21 days away from my bad habits.

Oh how I WISH I could afford a personal trainer! I'm going to post a few motivational things around my house. Especially "Remember how good you feel AFTER each workout" because it's so true.

#2= GREAT! Love it! He always says that he wants to lose weight, but his job makes it so difficult. I will try to pack more meals for him and I got him a blender bottle for protein shakes. I hope that helps him. Also his new boss is very health focused so maybe that will rub off a bit! #4- LOL!!! I'll let them know. We'll…

He does love to eat... haha I'll try it and see how it goes. I bet you're right and that he will eat what I make... Or he can eat peanut butter!

Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it! I think we're all ravenous at night, so eating light through the day is a must. Do you have any examples of what you eat early in the day? I get stuck in the rut of frozen meals and protein shakes, so I always like to see what others like to eat. That's a good idea with the…

Thank you! It sounds like we're just about in the same place! I've been trying to do the healthy breakfast/lunch thing then eating a normal dinner, but it's so tempting to over eat! When are you getting married? Good luck to you too! It sounds like you're on an amazing track with starting the half training, I wish I could…

Ah yes, the success story board is great! That's kind of what started me to getting back to where I want to be! I feel so bad eating before he gets home because he doesn't eat most of the day, but I'm sure he would be fine for it. Maybe I could get him to eat what I eat too by having food already done and ready for him to…

I'll look into that- I like the idea of using something like that. But yes, your last statement is completely true, but I've been aware of that which is the unfortunate part. I've been making some friends at work, but the problem there is that they're not striving for a healthy lifestyle either so I have to watch myself…

Youtube is awesome, yes, but I live on the 2nd floor and I already curse at my neighbors through the floor for them being loud too! Woops... Maybe youtube has pilates and yoga that I've been ignoring though! I'll see if my fiance knows how to do youtube on the PS3, because Lord knows that I don't. Good point too about the…

I think my biggest problem is that I've been down on myself because I've lost the weight before but I'll admit it, I am sad here! So far away from my family and I just find some comfort in letting my fiance make choices because most days I've been by myself for quite a few hours and I don't feel like dealing with the back…

That's great advice, thank you! I work retail- he does as well- so on my days off it shouldn't be too hard to cook ahead. I think my biggest issue is not wanting to go to the grocery store by myself because he generally pays for the groceries for me, so when he does get home he just wants to go to bed. Have you found any…

Hmm.. I'm sorry but I'll have to disagree- I think that others can motivate and support me. I don't EXPECT anyone to do anything for me, but having a support system makes all the difference in the world- hence, reasons that this website has forums available to ask questions and gain friendships, even if it is just through…

I appreciate that I'm not alone! I'll have to look into some yoga videos or something like that. I do agree that exercise does help- it's just so hard doing it by myself! Not knowing the area is especially a concern being a small female with little upper body strength lol! I appreciate the advice!

I'm in the same position! Lost over 30 pounds on Weight Watchers then I just stopped doing it around the holidays because school got really busy, life got really busy, etc. I joined MFP and have been on and off of being really disciplined for several months. I think I've gained back a lot but I'm really nervous to step on…

Shiva- do you have any recommendations on which things to adjust? I am sure it's probably just what works best for you, but I didn't know if people have seen success other ways or not! I think I am going to continue with WW for another month but do this at the same time and see how I can do both at the same time then use…

New here too :) I'm always willing to find a weight loss friend!

Thank you! SO excited to be switching!

Marybeth- I was doing online WW which is really great because it's constant- but way too darn expensive! MFP looks great! Glad to see there are other past WWers- and especially ones that have clearly had great success as you had! How do you put the Weight Loss gauge in your post

I have a stupid palm phone so unfortunately I can't use an app, but that's ok! I'll add you as a friend for sure! I switched from WW, too, but I didn't know if I was allowed to say that or not! Ha! I'm excited to start this site!
