Thanks you guys!! OH and blackmamba886 ... you have a sister that doesn't need it ... I have 4 sister-in-laws that are all freaking perfect!!!! I was so tired of being "the fat sister" ... :laugh: I am proud ... we all need a little push, and inspiration ...

Ahh yes, i do have EXCELLENT taste, don't I??? I am always grateful to you for bringing me in .... I hope this rejuvenated feeling lasts ... i even got up and did my treadmill this morning BEFORE heading out to the world of good news ... My ultimate goal is 115 but my next mini- goal is to get to my maximum BMI weight of…

12 lbs away from final goal .. and have been for over a month now. i've TOTALLY lost motivation, and have been simply maintaining .. i wish i could find that surge of energy i had 25lbs ago ... pooo!! I need to read more posts like this ... i NEED to find the strength to get this goal completed!!

**le sigh**

WELCOME TO THE BEST SITE EVER!!! Logging the weights .. eh .. there are probably way better people to answer this question but it should be "strength training" .. You put your reps, etc. right in there.

YAY :flowerforyou: :drinker: I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU DID IT. I had lost motivation for over a week ... THANKFULLY it didn't do too much damage but i'm back and ready to get going again!! Rainy weather does make it tough ... i decided to eat more today in order to get my *kitten* to the gym before i went home ... and…

Hi there! I too began utilizing this site in January 2009. (the 8th to be exact) I am 3lbs away from my first goal weight and 13 measly little pounds from my ultimate goal weight. I have found that since EASTER ... it's been so hard to stay on track. My first mistake is ... i've stopped logging. My second is ... I've…

YOU ARE DOING SOOOOO GREAT!!! I felt that way for a while too at certain goals i didn't make at a certain time. This is for life .. and i'm sure you are going to live long and healthy ... it's one day .. one weigh-in ... there will be another soon and i'm sure it'll be gone .. with maybe an added one ... Keep up the good…

Mom of 3 here!! My 13 year old daughter is an athlete - all-star Cheer ... and i tell her all the time that the food choices that she makes, will determine her eating habits as she gets older so even though she's 100lbs soaking wet ... when the sports stop ... she can't be eating two boxes of pasta on her own. :laugh: My…

My 5 year old son also does karate (ATA) and there are 4 mothers in the class with their kids. One is a black belt .. she got her kids into it but the other 3 have been taking with their kids. Any exersise is good so ... i say go for it. Not to mention its great when you can do activities WITH your kids. Do it! Do it! Do…

Yea, my Mom's the best!! I'm so proud of her. :glasses:

I have several pictures out there of me before my lifestyle change and i just posted one up here of a friend and me. When i compare that picture with those that exsist today ... the difference is ... well, you have to see for yourself!! Being 4' 10.5" and weighing over 150 is obese, unhealthy, and definitely not…

I credit these people for their constant motivation ... success stories ... and even those humps we all have to get over!!! love ya!!

I wouldn't have even known it was you in the before picture! WELL DONE!!! Truly inspirational!!!

I actually just gave it and tried to remember ... From what i can REMEMBER ... From Friday through yesterday ... i ate about 1800 calories OVER what i should have ... That's like a big extra meal each night ...

Well ... this may make ya feel better ... From Friday through yesterday ... I ate about 1800 calories OVER!!!!!! ***UGH*** :sad:

I set the damn thing on FIRE this past weekend. From Friday .. all the way through yesterday ... I thought nothing of working out or eating right ... i didn't even log in for Saturday and Sunday. Just a nightmare. DEF skipping weigh-in this week. DEF getting to the gym tonight ... have to!! But i feel so defeated ... i…

The best description i can find is if you enter "circuit training" and then plug in how long you do it for. It's not exact ... those rarely are .. but that is how i would do it. :flowerforyou:

nothing you haven't seen before ... lmao ... OK OK .. everyone get your mind outta the gutter.

Ya know .. maybe i haven't been drinking my water .. now that i think about it. Hmmmmmm .. thanks for that.

I so just want to say i am 120 something ... I want to get out of the 130's so badly. I'm eating my calories ... sometimes sliding a bit over a day or two a week lately. It's def not my girly thing because i'm on the mirana and i don't really get it anymore. I'm so afraid because i'm picking up my chantix any day now and i…

i thought it told you .. i am pretty sure there is a place you can find how many calories burned .. my daughter finds out all the time.

So, i started this in January ... i was losing every week. I started going to the gym and doing the curcuit training at PF on March 31st and have added the elliptical 10 minutes before and after i am done with the training. New curcuit schedule is Monday/Wednesday and Friday and I still either do 30 minutes on the…
