hey my name is Sarah and my goal is to lose 100 pounds this year. Feel free to add me to your friends and we can keep each other motivated. :flowerforyou:

BMI is extremely overrated. It says Im suppose to weigh 150 to be healthy. Which my Orthopedic doctor told me is extremely to small for my frame. Because like said before it does not count for bone structure. I will agree that body fat % is the best way to go. Your gym should be able to provide this for you if you have…

I have used it before and the only problem is yes you get hungry. If you want to use a meal replacement. My recommendation is to use the Whey protien. Because it is made from protien it keeps you full longer. But please if you are going to do a meal replacement make sure you take a multivitamin. I hope this helps. Add me…

I have been on hear for almost a year. It is a great place for support and to be around people with the same goals. Good luck. If you need friends feel free to ade me. Sarah:flowerforyou:

My Grandma always said you can lead a horse to water but u can't make them drink it. Sounds like her mindset isn't ready for this journey you are dedicated to. I have a friend the same way. I don't give up on her but I have to think about my journey and this journey is hard enough without someone that isn't dedicated…

I had lapband sugery in 10/09. I have lost 65 pounds. Add me as a friend if you wish.

:flowerforyou: I'm from Maxeys, Ga. You may add me to your friends list if you like.

I use Body Fortress Strawberry and add Dole frozen strawberry, banana, peaches. It is low fat, low carb, and high protien and the price is not hard on the wallet. Sarah :drinker:

I totally know where you are coming from. I have tried for years to lose weight for all kind of reasons. And failed horribly. Until I realized I have to do it for me and that I'm worth it. I could not do it. Don't get me wrong, I still struggle some days. But I know I can do this. And so can you. I have faith in you to do…

I make sure my calories, carbs, fat and sodium are under. I want my protien and fiber over.

Cardio, Cardio, Cardio. Get in as much cradio in as you can. This will jump start your weight loss and help you to continue to lose. Remember to take it one day at a time. Good luck!:flowerforyou:

I know how it feels to try and lose weight with a knee injury. I had knee surgery in Dec 2010. You can do it. Take it one day at a time. If you would like encouragement feel free to send me a friends request. Good luck accomplishing you goal. Sarah :flowerforyou:

:drinker: I prefer Splenda and it is what I have used my whole journey. Recently, I have found a cheaper brand by wal-mart that is just as good and has no carbs. Good luck on your choice.

I ask my trainer about this and he said he had never heard of anyone cutting out your carbs this early, He says typically it is around 4-6 p.m. And as long as you are watching them throughout the day . You don't need to worry. But, he says no simple sugars after 6 p.m. for sure. I hope this helps. Sarah :flowerforyou:

:smile: Hey!! Georgia Girl here. Add me to your friends if you like. Us southern bells need to stick together. :flowerforyou:

You look BEAUTIFUL!! :flowerforyou:

WTG!! :flowerforyou:

If you can't do 45 minutes to start. Start with 15 minutes 3 times and work your way up to 45 minutes. I have lost 75 pounds with walking. As summer comes in you can also walk behind a push mower it burns a ton of calories. Walking totally works. :flowerforyou:

I use the yoplait greek yogurt with fruit on bottom (strawberry or any favor) and add 1 cup skim milk 1 tbsp splenda pop in blenda and makes an excellent smoothie :drinker: and you get extra protien. I am with you i can't eat it straight out of container YUCK!! YUCK!! :sick: Sarah

Thanks for the tip I will try it!!

I hope this helps you. When I first started out on my exercise journey I started with walking around our building at work. It was .3 of a mile and I would walk as many times as I could in 25 minutes (because I only get 30 min for lunch) instead of eating lunch. Don't get me wrong I had lunch but it was normally a protien…

:happy: I will be 40 in less than 2 weeks and this is my goal also to be fabulous at forty. I am not quite there yet. But, I will be before this year is up. So I guess you could say I will still be FABULOUS at forty. I have lost 75 pounds and have 62 to go so I am over half way. If I can do this you can. If you would like…

I understand what you are going through I had by bander put in 10/09. I have lost a total of 70 pounds. I have days when I can't eat and have to do liquids and have days when I can eat within reason. Just remember to get your protien in and we are here to support you. If you would like more support from those that know…
