Ritz bits peanut butter crackers. Whole box might not last a day.

I wouldn't mind some new friends, most of mine are no longer active....Im a Fitbit user and I start T25 on Monday. Anyone can add me

Well done! Keep up the good work!

Just got mine today...transitioning from Bodymedia to Fitbit but so far so good. Looking for friends for challenges and motivation. www.fitbit.com/user/3D7VWQ

I lost a total of 4 lbs when I did 30 day shred. (Scale went up and down the whole time) But I also dropped like 2 clothing sizes. When people ask, I ALWAYS recommend it since that is the workout that did the most in terms of body change for me in a short amount of time. Day 6 of T25 right now so maybe that will change..

I'm also from Alabama. :-)

Wow, while not exact this is VERY similar to my story (I lost the weight after I got married)...I actually lost 68 and feel bad that I have gained back almost 40. My kids started getting involved in sports and it took all of my time. As I started gaining back I kept telling myself I would start again "Monday" but would…

Bump--awesome info!

I like the Enviga Boot Camp Calorie Burn, its quick and well paced for morning workouts. The instructor, Kendall Hogan is kinda cheesy but likable...

I completed the 30DS February 2012. It took me 32 days and it does give you really good results! I didnt lose 20 lbs (more like 8lbs) but I dropped almost 2 clothing sizes! Out of all the workouts I have done this one by far has been the best in regards to shaping my body. The only downfall was that you can get bored with…

Honestly, what has worked for me is counting calories and exercise...no gimmicks- just following the plan myfitnesspal gave and sticking to that #. Then there's not a real limit on certain food groups etc, just paying attention and being accountable for what goes in your mouth. Oh and reducing sodium makes quite a…

I hear you! This is a journey for me that started in November 2011. I am currently at 51 lbs down...gained a few pounds back so I gotta get my focus back in line with my goals. Somewhere within us we all have the ability to change so lets do it!!!

I'm starting over too-as of today. Any of you can add me. I lost 69 lbs in a year then stepped on the scale today and learned that I have gained back like 15. (Talk about reality check) :-O. I don't wanna go back in the other direction so I'm looking for some additional support/motivation since a lot of my "friends" have…

Anyone can add me to!! I am 33 and a mom of 3... lost 69 lbs between November 2011 - August of 2012 and as of today I think I have gained back about 10 lbs? Anyway I am starting over...Looking to drop 30-50 in 2013. Need some new motivating friends :-)

Sorry you are having a bad day........sending hugs your way :smile:

O wow!!! I rarely laugh out loud but this one got me!! funny....

Alabama

Someone told me I was crazy because I said that cult leader came to mind when I asked what I thought of him....but I was soooo serious. This is just my personal experience but a lot of people who watch him say stuff like "Dr Oz says... "Dr Oz recommends..."Dr Oz suggests... and some follow him like he is the gospel truth…

Congratulations! I was elated to weigh in under 199....Keep up the good work!

Would the cats get offended if we talk about them?

What language do bugs speak?

I am right now at 65 lbs down and I dont do gimmicks....then again, I am not sure what is meant by "gimmick." I did 30 day shred (which is a kick butt exercise program only-no shortcuts there) and I drink a protein shake for breakfast most mornings (personal preference) Other than that, its straight calorie…

I have 3- a daughter who is 16 and sons ages 9 and 7... The 16 yr old is free to a good home. edited to add: I have a tubal ligation....no more for me!

Potted meat to me has got to be one of the most disgusting foods on the planet..along with crawfish, chitterlings, oysters, sardines, organ meats and livercheese (who comes up with this stuff?) All of these make me visibly shudder...uuuggghhh P.s. I do not want anything that appears to be looking at me from my plate....

Just saw your pics and you look great!

Different sayings mean different things to different ppl. Speaking as a woman with curves this particular statement does not encourage me-never has. Probably because I have had "curves" since I was 13. There was nothing I did to get them and I don't believe they make me more of a woman than anyone else. A woman is not…

I am 5'4.5 and started out weighing 256-wearing a size 18w-20w depending on the brand...I am now at 202 and in a regular size 16 :) Its interesting to see all of the different body types/shapes that wear the same clothing size.

-Read Dr. Suess and other childrens stories (without my children present) -Color and draw -Get cranky and fussy when I dont want to go to sleep -countdown days til my birthday

Congratulations! That IS awesome!

I really like this thread... My turning points were: 1. I got married in August 2011 and while I didn't wear a traditional dress, ( it was casual ) the dress I did have on was a 2x, tight & uncomfortable. I didn't share or post any of my pics because I was horrified at the way I looked. I refused to look at most of them…
