I am in too. I actually had this as a goal already because i will be seeing my family for the first time since i started loosing weight last year. Start Weight-268 Today's weight-224 July 4th goal-215 End Goal-165

I have so much trouble getting enough water on the weekends. I carry it with me but i just don't get the same amount i do during the week. GRRRRR! I am always 2 pounds heavier on Monday mornings because of this. For some reason i just don't drink it like i do sitting at my desk at work.

Great job Laura, that is so hard to do and you did it. Great accomplishment.

I did a new class this morning a combination of step aerobics and kickboxing. WOW it kicked my butt and i have been working with a trainer for the last 8 weeks. I can't wait for next weeks class. I already have 48 oz in and it is only 11:30am here. Good luck today everyone, weekends are my downfall.

If I didn't have my daughter i would go. Amazing what children will do to and for you. I would never leave her by my own choice, unless it would save her life than i would glady do it.

Lemon Juice is the secret. I do it for my daughters lunch. I just squirt a little on a plate then drop the apples in the juice and cover the whole apple. Just don't drown it, i put a little on the plate at a time. The apple will suck up the juice so moderation is key. Make sure to get your water in today everyone, I am at…

Awesome job on your final. What a boost!! Now celebrate with a big bottle of water.

Thanks so much for this. I just ordered a back up for when my Polar F6 goes out and i have to send it back in to have the batteries changed. This was a great price.

Wow, you are my hero, that is a lot of water and I thought i drank a lot with 15. Good for you and keep up the good work.:drinker: :drinker:

I drank 15 glasses of water today and did an hour of cardio after work. I am going to be down a pound this week if it kills me. I can't believe i went from drinking almost no water 6 months ago and now that is pretty much all i drink. It has to be ice cold though and if you use a straw you drink so much more. By next year…

THis is just the kick in the butt i need. I do really well with my water during the week, but i struggle on the weekends. I am up for the fitness challenge this has been a rough week for me to work out, so i am on board and will get it in at some point. Let's go BLUE!!!!

My calories were just lowered yesterday because well lets face it this site has helped me loose the weight, and I panicked thinking where am I going to cut those calories from. I was about to post the question with my typical day when bam it hit me as i was looking at my meals what i need to do. I have actually learned how…

You are not eating enough. You need to up your calories 1200 is the bare minimum you should be eating.

I actually agree with you, but i think for a lot of people who are starting out on this site it takes a while for this mindset to sink in. I know it did for me. I have come a long way in the last year since i started my new lifestyle. It has not been easy, and i have made the changes slowly and it took me a good 9 months…

You opened a can of worms. There are different opinions about this, if you go back to message boards and type excercise calories you will see all the threads on this topic. Some say to eat them back, some don't, and others say eat some not all. I think you need to find what works best for you.:drinker:

Wow everyone seems so pumped on this team and you have made me want to join, if it is not too late??? My starting weight is 224 and i have a goal of 215 by July 2 when i will see my family for the first time since i have lost half of me. I am so excited and pumped and need the encourgment to keep on track. I also love to…

I don't have a lot of advice for you just some understanding about the disease. It runs in my family and My grandmother, mother, and now my sister has it. It is very difficult for her to eat a lot of foods and she is in pain much of the time because of it. She does not eat very well because it depends on how she reacts to…

Thanks i saw a commercial for it a while ago, but i didn't remember when and what channel. I just set my DVR to record it. :flowerforyou:

Consider your butt kicked!:happy: I had mine kicked earlier in the week and it worked wonders, so now i am returning the favor. Even if you just go for a walk it starts the ball rolling. Now go for a walk!!!!:flowerforyou:

I did it with Wendy's hamburger and fries last weekend and felt horrible for 2 days. I also felt like purging it, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. I don't even want to think about going down that road. Drank lots and lots of water and then worked it off.

I really like Tara and how she works her butt off all the time. Helen drives me insane and i was so hoping she would go home last night. I loved Kristen and her attitude. I think Mike is a good kid, but has been heavily influenced by his father. I think Ron has been pulling the strings for the last several votes and I lost…

We do this contest at work (We are in between right now) I am actually in charge of it and run the contests. You are right about people giving others flack who don't need to loose a lot, but i will tell you the last winner for us only wanted to loose a few pounds, but because he was so thin already he won because it is…

I am stuck at work right now, so i can't leave for a walk, not to mention it is raining and is freezing outside right now. For the last 3 days i have come home with every intention of going to the gym, and then I find myself coming up with some lame excuse of why i can't go. My knees hurt, or i need to spend the time with…

on track that is. My daughter was sick Thursday and Friday so i couldn't go to the gym, then I was busy on Saturday and now I just can't seem to get my big old butt to the gym.:grumble: To top it off i have been absolutely horrible about eating and going way over on my calories. :grumble: :grumble: I need help getting re…

You really need to see your doctor about this. I have been working with my doctor on my journey and 230 is really high and if you are sure it is not your HRM then you really need to discuss this with your doctor. Mine tends to get high if i don't control my breathing, but my doctor has cautioned me not to let it get over…

I hated eating breakfast when i started this journey last year, but after a lot of hard work in forcing myself to eat it, i know find that i can't function without. I do have a problem where i can't stand to smell food in the morning or it makes me sick to my stomach so i eat Raisin bran with a banana or strawberries.…

Ever since i was pregnant with my daughter i have had horrible constipation. No amount of water helpded and sorry i just can't stand prunes. My most recent discovery is Raisin Bran. That stuff has been awesome. I have been eating it for the last few weeks and finally i have relief. Other types of fiber i have tried have…

They are really good, but have you read the ingrediants? Like everything else in life, they are good in moderation. They wreck havoc on my system so i gave them up, but they are very tasty as long as you eat them in moderation they are much healthier than a lot of other things.

Please stay away from the Elipitcal until you have built up the muscles in your back and can handle it. I have had problems with my back for a long time, and i would try to work out on the elipitcal would do it for a couple of weeks and bam my back would be horrible again. Did this on and off for about 6 months until i let…

I refreshed until you were up to 300 and here is bump to keep it going.
