No one likes fighting with their spouse, but you're not just fighting for anything, you're fighting for your health and the health of your son. Above all else, the health of your children should come first. Stand up for what you want and what you deserve. Start doing your own grocery shopping, if he gets mad, let him.…

Thanks everyone!!!! Really appreciate it!!!

yea sorry, i feel horrible because I started the group but honestly couldn't get many people active and then I ended up sick for a couple of months and sadly to say almost gained everything I had lost! :( But i'm better and back into it! Determined to not give up! YOU motivate me!

awesome job!

just a lil encouragement for everyone! No slacking!! :)

If you burn 3500 calories in a week and in that same week eat 3500 calories from exercise then you will stay right about the same. Weight gain comes from eating an additional 3500 calories (per pound) than what you are normally taking in, minus the exercise. Exercise calories that are consumed will allow you to maintain…

Woo-hoo! Work it!!

oh and i'm the same, no change, but that's a good thing considering I ate like a crazy person this weekend and TOM is hanging around!

I totally forgot to do my weigh in for the week! SW 191.8 CW 190.6 Great Job everyone!

hey everyone, just a final reminder, I will need all of your beginning weigh in and measurements by Saturday (tomorrow) by 5pm. 108 people is certainly a lot to chase down to get numbers from, and quite frankly I don't have time for that. I appreciate all you who have joined and who are encouraging and motivating everyone!

Watermelon and Strawberry Shake 1 and 3/4 cups fresh watermelon (seedless or remove seeds) 6 oz of frozen strawberries, halved 16 oz crushed ice 2 packets splenda (optional) or 2 drops of honey (optional) Put ingredients in a blender (or ninja or bullet) and process until you reach the consistency you desire. Serves 2…

awesome! Thanks everyone! I am keeping a record of all of us, so if you don't want to publish your info here, just email me. Then each week after we weigh in, I'll post how much as a group we've lost! So excited to be on this journey with you all! Don't get discouraged! The first step is always the hardest. We can achieve…

awesome reasons! Well I am doing this challenge...and started the group because my friend and I kind of had a set back. We both have a ways to go and I thought this would be a GREAT way to encourage each other but also others who sometimes just need a little motivation. I am also going on a mission trip to Cambodia in…

I know the fitbit exercise calories seem low, but they are actually pretty accurate if you have entered all your information correctly. I love what my trainer said, he said, "we feel like we've burned twice as many calories than we actually have, and when we stop and calculate it, it's usually within 10-20 calories from…

woo-hoo! Good luck everyone! We can weigh in tomorrow and then weigh once a week! Good luck everyone!!

.....

Me! haha! I've done it before but I'm starting over again! I start tomorrow!

when ever I go on vacation, I try to stick to eating plenty of fruits and veggies and drinking TONS of water! stay away from sodas and such. Try not to order anything fried or smoothered in anything. Avocados are great and go for anything grilled. Also i find that patting my food with my napkin before eating eliminates…

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Love my fitbit! And customer service is PHENOMENAL!

I too have PCOS! I have had huge improvements with simply losing 14 pounds! Its been SO amazing! swimming has been my BFF!

Super excited about this group! I'm scheduled to run a 5K in June! I'm on day 2 of C25K~woohoo!

I love mine, unfortunately I am on my 3rd one! My first one accidentally was washed and my 2nd one stopped working :(

I JUST got this awesome email from Jillian Michaels that talks about plateaus! If you message me your email I'll forward it to you!

Well, studying this in the medical field I have found that it causes more damage than just to one's metabolism. I find it sad that people under eat as a way to lose weight or try these insane fad diets and "miracle diets" to lose weight. None of gained all this weight over night yet we expect it to come off that way. Being…

I completely understand! Feel free to add!!

I haven't seen those posts but I have noticed more and more people giving advice that just isn't healthy. Cardio is wonderful for the heart and keeping people healthy. Yes people should take a break from hard core cardio at least once a week, but a good 30 minutes of cardio a day is excellent.

Seriously people, READ!!! IT' is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT 1 serving! haha! I think people are way to quick to sound like they know it all that they forget to READ the posts! Sounds great! Will definitely try it!

Don't know if I'll find mine, but Female 29....almost 30! 5'2 SW 198 CW 186 GW 140-145

thank you thank you thank you! WHAT motivation you are for me!
