Hey Dani - I hate being in between sizes! Hopefully the 18's will fit soon. I used to hate trying on clothes sometimes I enjoy just picking up different sizes to see what fits now. It's actually kinda fun. Can't wait I'm at my goal weight! I'm watching SMASH as well!! I think the first two weeks were better than last…

Bum - thanks for the photos. Great costumes - definitely looks like fun!!! Glad you are exercising again. Amber - 2 part time jobs is really tough especially when you have to travel. Tough decision between Thai and Indian food! IT's hard staying on track when you have company. Just start again right where you are and work…

Molly - I like the idea of changing the challenge slightly in the last week of the month as an incentive to push! Time management can sometimes be tough to conquer and something that is always worth working on. Meeting your 5 year pen pal sounds like a lot of fun! Hmmm....giving something up for Lent - need to think about…

Wish I'd had that scale when I started!!

I drink the shakes - one to two a day. I have lost 10 lbs. and 5.5 inches in the waist and hips since Jan. 2nd - start of my 90 day challenge. My goal is to lose 25 lbs. before April 2nd. Most days I am not hungry between breakfast and lunch but sometimes I am. I agree with James - try the Clear Control and/or the cookies.…

I love Visalus products. I have at least one shake a day and on workout days I try to get two. I have lost 10 lbs. and 5.5 inches since Jan. 2nd. I am getting ready to go to 2 a day since I am halfway through my 90 day challenge. I'm hoping to lose an additional 10 lbs. the second half of the challenge.

Thanks for the laugh for today!!!!

I think you have to do what works for you. I drink a shake every week day morning for breakfast. It's easy and convenient and tastes delicious!!

Great job - Congrats!! I like the idea of waiting for 3 days to post new number.

If you use it and you love it - why not find 3 people to do it with you and then get yours free?

Joconnor09 - I drink Visalus Meal Replacement shakes. It's the shake mix tastes like cake. You can mix it with a lot of different things - there is a document with over 100 recipes. The most common is milk but I also use cranberry juice, orange juice, etc. Some people mix it with water but I find the other things to be…

Hi all! Jenn - Your mom (Grandma) is probably having the time of her life with the kid! I had my grandson all weekend and we had a blast. It would have been nicer if the weather had cooperated but I didn't want to take him out in the rainy nasty weather so we just played inside and watched movies. I love getting him and…

Thanks! Suzie kicks our butt at boot camp! If only I hadn't eaten everything in site over the weekend I would have lost weight!!!

Hi All! I love the theater and it's probably a good thing I don't live anyplace close to the theater! We visited New York several years back and the only show we could see was Rent. It was quite interesting to say the least. We also saw Mama Mia on a trip to Canada - that was AMAZING!!! The Vow was very good. I went to see…

Great way to think ahead for everybody! Agefyter - your weekend sounds like a lot of fun!! Enjoy! I would definitely eat salads and spend more calories on the wine!! I can't afford a bad weekend - I've had a bad week (stress eating) so I'll have to really watch what I'm eating this weekend. We have our 3 year old grandson…

Great job ladies!!!

My reasons exactly!! I have over 100 recipes I can use with my shake mix so I never get bored!! I love my shake for breakfast mixed with frozen fruit. Then post workout shake is usually an almond joy (shake mix, coconut extract, almond milk, unsweetened chocolate powder and a couple of almonds for a little crunch) or key…

All very good suggestions. I like to mix it up a little. My favorite things to add are: honey slivered almonds - gives a nice crunch Visalus shake mix (vanilla protein powder) blueberries occasionally as a treat I'll add a little butter I like to have oatmeal for lunch or even dinner. Very filling!

People can be cruel! Don't worry it will catch up to them eventually! Those that are still around will be asking you for advice and it will be nice when the tables finally turn!! Hang in there!!!

You have to determine WHY you are eating. Is it because you are hungry or because it is there or are you stressed or bored? Once you determine the cause you can correct the behavior. Try drinking more water - it fills you up. If you are bored or stressed - try to find a hobby or a way to keep yourself busy and out of the…

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day. Amber - Banana Cream Pie - Yum! Not my favorite but it's at the top of the list! Laundry - UGH!!! Enjoy your coaching run with your friend. I was never a runner in school and didn't realize there was a right way to run. My DIL ran with me and taught me about breathing…

Hi I'm Kathy. I chose to change to a healthier lifestyle in 2010. I lost weight and have maintained for 6 months. I'm ready to lose again and do until.... you guessed it - the weekend!!! Like others I gained 2 lbs. this weekend and those were 2 lbs. that I worked hard to lose! I was at an all time low and am sooo mad at…

Great job! You look truly amazing!!

Weight loss motivation is all about desire rather than willpower. How much do you want to lose weight? How much more do you want to lose weight than you want to eat fattening food and lay on the sofa watching TV all day? List all your reasons for wanting to lose weight, or stay healthy and slim. Add more reasons to your…

That's awesome! Keep up the good work!

I know what you mean about the weekends. I have a horrible time. I went to a party this weekend and thought I was being smart by saving all my calories for the party - WRONG! I ate way too much because I was hungry. Next time I'll try to eat before I go so I'm not really hungry. Sometimes people don't like to see others…

Hi all! Glad the Owls & Newts stayed the same. Amber - I ended up eating way to much at the party! I made the mistake of going hungry. Oh well guess I'll have to work that much harder to lose back what I gained! :sad: Glad you were able to complete your run. 11 miles is quite an accomplishment! Molly - Congrats on the…

I love JM's DVD's! Have the 30 DS and Ripped in 30. I need to get Ripped in 30 out of the case and start using it! It's sooo important to measure before you start working out. Sometimes the scale can be depressing but measurements don't lie!! Keep up the good work!!

Karen - Great weight loss for the week!! Yes I am excited about the trip to Hawaii. I hope we can make it work. We are going to the Big Island - isn't that where Kauai is located? I am NOT looking forward to the flight though! I could eat my weight in fresh pineapple!! I'm looking foward to trying as many different types…

Not 100% positive but I think it is. There are a lot of die hard Selena fans here. I cannot imagine it would close.
