That's really strange. You know, so many times, I thought of going up to a larger person and giving them a hug! But I'm afraid I would offend them. I'd be proud to be in the gym, as a larger person. It says, "I know I'm big, but I'm here to do something about it, unlike all the other people in the world."

LOL WTF!

Just finished Week 3 today! Weeks 1 - 3 have been really easy so far (unless you're a complete beginner). Next week doesn't look hard, just 5 minutes. What I'm really stressing on is running 20 minutes without stopping. But I'll trust in the app to take me there!

Wow, your dog walks 5 miles? I've been only walking my dog around a few blocks lol. A bit off topic there, but I was surprised!

Zumba: I burned 1200 calories in an hour and a half. :happy:

Yayy! Good job! It's amazing what our bodies can do. And who knows what you have YET to discover about yourself!

"When you look in the mirror and see no change, and still keep faith, knowing that in time you will get there if you stay focused and on track, that's the difference between those who succeed and those who fail." :)

Everyone looks so much more confident in their After pictures. You're all very sexy :) Mine will be up here in September.

Sign up for a 5k in 9 weeks. That'll get you motivated since you have to do it :) There's no turning back then!

lol, this summarizes up my life too.

^ Me too! Last month's goals were: - To get in a size 12 (done) - Run a mile in 13 minutes (done) This month's goals are: - Start Couch-to-5k app (done) - Finish reading book "Eat to Live" (almost) - Start reading book "New Rules for Lifting..." (done) Next month's goals are: - Get down to 170 pounds - Do 15 perfect…

"Let's Go" by Calvin Harris and Ne-Yo "On the Floor" by Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez There's a lot more, just can't think of them. I really like "Let's Go" - the lyrics are really inspirational!

To look strong on the outside which reflects how strong I am on in the inside. Cute clothes! Those really short dresses you see at the clubs, I just want to wear it once even if I feel naked lol. Accomplishing my goals! :)

Way to go! Those are hard, but will make you feel like a superstar!

Well, I'm not sure if you have the money for it, but ChaLEAN Extreme has a bunch of her workouts in that time range, plus Turbo Fire has a few goodies. The Biggest Loser workout boot camp is... I think 30 minutes. It'll make you sweat!

I really LOVE seeing a gym that's crowded. No joke. I work out alone 3 days a week and I enjoy the amount of people in it. I feel like... we're all together for the same purpose. It's very motivating. And I enjoy a lot of people on the treadmills. When I'm running, it's like we're running together lol, a bit cheesy. I also…

Agreed!

- 5k (doing it in October) - Maybe a 10k (I may have to work at it for Tough Mudder) - Be able to do 20 unassisted push-ups - Be able to do a push-up with one hand (I saw Jillian Michaels do this, so inspiring!) - Compete in the Tough Mudder (and survive!) - Get visible abs - Get visible muscles in arms It's interesting to…

It came to a point where I felt uncomfortable in my own skin. Simply sitting down was unpleasant with all the flab hanging out. Girdles weren't even doing the trick!

I can't say I've completed Chalean yet, but I finished week 1. I'm doing pretty much what you're doing! And I feel it all over. I suppose if we feel it, we must be doing something right!

Aha! Me too! I washed it and then tightened it because it kept falling down towards my belly. Now it's up towards my heart, which well, makes sense. :) Thank you!

Oooh okay. I bought another HRM a year ago and it stopped working so I bought this one, but this one cost me $136 figuring I wouldn't have to buy a new one again! Maybe I should have washed it more, but I still thought that an expensive one wouldn't do this...

I washed mine earlier in the week, and that same day it was air drying, I tried it and it stopped working in the middle. I'm going to try it again tonight, but I don't know. If it doesn't work tonight, is it a good idea to ask for a refund or something from the manufacturer?

Wow, thank you! I never thought to wash it... oops? Is it as simple as throwing it in the washer and dryer?

Well actually I'm not having troubles with the scale, yet. I guess I'm just wondering what's something to work towards this month. Although I think I figured it out: to follow Bob Harper's Skinny Rules and get down to 185. Hope those are good :)

I've heard a lot of good things about Trader Joe's. Sadly, there isn't one around here. Mmm Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper sound delish! I'll keep an eye out if one pops out here :)

Oooh nice! Next time I make soup, I'm going to make a lot of it and freeze it. Definitely going to check out your recommendations, thank you! :)

Two photoshoot sessions: one when I reach my goal weight and the second when I get abs. :) That way, when I'm in my 40's or a grandma, I can say "I looked like that when I was young!"

You guys all look younger too! And I bet you FEEL younger. Going to work on getting mine up here. My face was rather wide before and now it's a bit tall, I think lol.

^ Love this. I agree!
