When I was my heaviest, my tummy was like a rock!!! Now that I'm dropping weight, it feels soft and gushy -- like it is deflating! I hear tummy is the last to lose the weight, UGH! Just hang in there and keep doing the right thing! ie eating right and working out!

325 now I am 200 goal is 160 but if i make it to 170 I will be happy LOL

I want to live. I've worked with the elderly. The people who kept active and ate properly had a much higher quality of life in their final years. The people who were sedentary and ate horribly were filled with health issues and in a lot of pain. Also - I want to wear a bikini again.

I don't know how you are around food- but I am very tempted. My first reaction and thought was, no one ever lost weight eating peach cobbler! I would decline and instead plan some non-food related thing to do with my sister. That is just me though. I can't handle being around all the soul food stuff. Yes it is a lifestyle…

Hi there Skatermom! Oohh 4 months yay!! You are in the sweetspot honeymoon time! Make the most out of this year for sure =D How exciting! Nice to meet you here on the forums and thank you for your kind comments =)

Englewood Florida- but I spend a lot of time in Venice, Nokomis and Sarasota =D Spending this year training for my first marathon. I am planning for Walt Disney WOrld Orlando 2013. I would like to do a few races between now and then. The furthest i've run is a half marathon. Mostly I've completed 5k 10k and two biathlons.…

this sounds like FUN!

I want to look exactly like me - cept with a flat tummy and waist length flowing hair! LOL.

Englewood, Florida Spend most of my time in Sarasota, Florida though!

Wear a pair of jeans and tank top without any muffin top. Look fabulous in a bathing suit. Be healthy and strong in my finshline photo upon completing my first marathon LOL!

I would like to motivate and be motivated! I'm trying to drop 56 lbs by the end of June. And then see how I feel there! GO TEAM!

A lady from my morning workout class, I don't know her name and she doesn't know mine - but she came up to me after class the other day and said she saw my profile and said I was just cutting in so nicely at the hip and seat! Its great she noticed I guess. Makes it feel more worth it to have strangers say something LOL!…

I admit it. First thing in the Morning, again in the afternoon, and then again before bed. I can't help it! - Super annoyed the scale isn't moving. . . . thank goodness the measuring tape is!! I've lost inches from bust waist and hips but weight hasn't moved much at all =(

Lots of people claim women get married then EXPAND. I can't expand anymore! I'm getting used to my new life and I want to start it off on a great healthy foot. I want to be in the best shape of my life - and I want to register for the Walt Disney World Marathon in Orlando next January. I have a friend who will train this…

Thank you for all of your thoughts - I do want to handle this well - and gracefully. I don't want drama with her this early! Her and I have had talks about food and fitness in the past and it was very positively received. This time no way! I spoke to her about her weight and health directly because I feel like people who…

Thank you for your reply! I've also blocked my MIL from email and facebook. He can just deal with her I guess!

I really am in love with Pure Barre. Part of me dreams of being an instructor on the side. But you need to have an inspiring body to be a fitness instructor right? LOL They are hiring for a new Pure Barre opening in town -- I asked to join and they contacted me back for an audition./interview. I know legally they have to…

i had diabetes type two and was on metformin. i lost 100 lbs and no longer have to take metformin. thank god! - you do NOT want diabetes. it is soooo uncomfortable! You can tell you are out of control with sugars if you feel hot and very thirsty. Omitting sugars is of course the first thing but there is more to it as well.…

i cut out sugar and sugar substitutes like splenda out all the way. It is odd at first, you feel like things just aren't sweet enough. I really think that is the sugar addiction screaming inside of us saying HAY WHERE IS MY SUGARRRRRRRRR????? RAAR!! - If you force yourself to stick to water. maybe one cup of coffee in the…

I used to smoke a pack a day. Anytime I wanted to quit I would go hardcore and just break. - Here is what I did to make it work and I still do this every now and then I feel a twinge of wanting a ciggie. - I have been smoke free for 5 months now. Any time I want to smoke. I just tell myself not right now, later. Just kept…

Dusting Sweeping Mopping I have all tile floors and a lot of wood furniture that must be constantly swept mopped and then dusted for the furniture. I have two Australian Shepherds. . . love them but MAN do they shed!

I like to smooth the tiniest amount of monoi oil tiare on the length of my hair- avoid roots or you will look like a greaseball. also I sleep on a silk pillowcase. i like emi-jay hair ties because they don't pull. =)

I have been attending Pure Barre classes for 3 months daily. An instructor said it burns anywhere from 200-500 calories depending on intensity. I've seen this posted on other websites as well. Some days I'm drenched in sweat and other days I'm only breaking a sweat. I've listed Pure Barre twice in my list Pure Barre set…
