I would go because its not fair to your husband for you to stay home. He asked you to go so I'm sure that he loves you and wants to spend time with you no matter what your size. I think that it would be very unhealthy for you to hide away at home while he is out socializing. Maybe getting out and about will be the…

Hi, I'm 33 also and need to lose around the same amount too. I'm sending you a friend request.

I'm from Louisiana and Hog's Head Cheese is a big thing around here. I know I tasted it as a child but have no desire to eat it now. I love our Cajun foods but I draw a line when it comes to that. Or frog legs. Lol

Hi, I'm trying to eat more Paleo/low carb because I have found that I do not lose AT ALL eating any other way:( I'm also looking to add more friends who have similar eating plans to share ideas and motivation with!

I'm a Cajun girl too! From the Lake Charles area and oh my goodness it is so HOT already!

I used one for my second son, he would just run where ever he got an urge to go regardless of the surroundings or any dangers. My other two children never needed one.

I love Edward Scissorhands! And anything else with Johnny Depp!

Hi, my name is Amanda. I haven't been officially diagnosed with PCOS yet but I feel certain that I have it. My sister has it and I have a lot of the symptoms too. I have been struggling with my weight so bad the last two years it is crazy! I feel like if I eat one sugary or unhealthy thing (even a hamburger or something…

What is a metabolic reset?

You can add me, I'm a 33 year old mom of two boys, 14, 9 and a two year old girl. Working to lose around 50 pounds.

The only way for me is to cut sugar and most refined carbs out completely. It's hard for the first week but after I get through withdrawals I feel so much better!

Michelin Ultra is what I drink too and 4 equals 440 calories. You could get in a really good workout to compensate for the calories. I don't see anything wrong with having a few drinks now and then as long as they fit into your calorie goal.

Tonight will be level 1 day 4 for me. I did the first level back in the fall and quit after doing level 2 day one:( I'm determined not to make that mistake again this time. I really like this better than the 30ds because there are more moves per each circuit. It seems to go by faster to me, and that defiantly helps! By the…

Your face is gorgeous!

You can add me if you like. I have 50 to 60 pounds to lose and I have been logging consistently for over three months.

This breaks my heart, I know to some degree what you are feeling. Have you tried antidepressants and the drug Topomax? I have seen that this can help people conquer eating issues. It is shown that some people use food to self medicate and that these drugs can counter the urge to binge, I think that whatever you do, you…

That is an amazing difference! I can't believe how much you have shrunk over such a short amount of time!

How long do you cook it in the microwave? I just finished cooking one in the oven and it took about 45 minutes.

You can add me if you want. I also started seriously trying to lose weight July 1. I am losing very slowly, only 13 pounds so far but I am motivated and have made a lot of changes over the last three months. I am also married, have three kids and work 50 plus hours at a desk job:(

Hi, I'm currently on week 1 day 4 and find that it isn't too terribly hard. I was wondering about week two, kinda nervous now! Lol you will probably be able to do more of the moves in a few days. The first time I did the week one workout I couldn't quite keep up but after a few days I am already able to do a whole lot more.

I have not been working out much at all because I have been working tons of overtime and my baby has been sick for a month. Im hoping to be able to start working out more soon though.

The only way I can control cravings is to cut out almost all processed carbs and sugar. I tried for months to eat smaller portions of all types of foods but for me personally that does not work. Also, it took a whole week of doing this before the cravings subsided. Now, I have some of these foods occasionally but if I eat…

I've been smoke free for over two years now! It was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but if I can do it, you can too! There's not a day that goes by that I am thankful that I don't smoke anymore. Congratulations! :smile:

Thanks for the encouragement! Y'all are right, I just need to work harder and I'll defiantly try some strength training, I keep seeing so many good things about it! I guess my biggest problem is not being consistent enough.

I weighed in and have actually gained two pounds in the last few weeks even though I have been diligent about working out and eating the correct amount of calories. Luckily, I decided to check my measurements and have lost 8 inches in the last month! Make sure to check your measurements along with the scale to get a better…

I can see a difference, especially in your face! Good job!

Feel free to add me too. I'm really trying to make this a lifestyle but am really struggling. I could really use a friend to help keep the motivation going. I'm a mother of 3 kids, work full-time and am using every excuse to avoid exercise! lol

Name: Amanda Current weight: 200.4 Goal weight: 138 What would you like to accomplish in 90 days: I would like to log my calories every day for 90 days, exercise 4 times a week for 30+ minutes and lose 25 pounds.
