There's nothing wrong with fasting. I was at a standstill for a month and half until I did a 16/8 split (fast 16 hours, eat in 8 hour window) and Im already down 3 lbs. Its allowing me more calories at night, which is great because I'm a nighttime snacker. Do what works for YOU!

Thank you! We have tried going to the gym every morning together but then once one of us doesn't want to go, the other one doesn't go. I'm usually the one doing the motivating. Maybe we will start small and work our way up! Thanks for the advice!

Feel free to add me! I'm 23 and looking to lose at least 25 more pounds by the end of June through cutting back on caloric intake and exercise! 11 down, 25 more to go!

11 pounds since March 6th, 2014! I just cut out all soda, complex carbs, fast food, and sweets. I also try to go to the gym for an hour every morning, but that doesn't work out so well sometimes.

Feel free to add me! I have similar goals and am around the same weight!

I'm totally on the same boat. Working, exercising, cleaning, and trying to maintain my household 5 days a week makes me want to be super lazy on the weekends. I don't want to cook, so I end up ordering pizza or something of that sort. I made chicken noodle soup last weekend, and made a whole turkey for sandwiches and…

I'm from there, but currently reside in Montana! So, I know your struggle! Feel free to add me!

I bought a pair of Miss Me jeans 2 sizes smaller (a friggin' $100 pair of jeans) because I've always wanted a pair, but wasn't confident enough to wear them at my current weight. They're hanging on my closet door so every day when I go to dress myself, I see them and it reminds me of where I want to be. It's a great…

Thanks to everyone for all of the advice and help! I'm on day 4 and am ready to rock! I'm kind of scared because this weekend we're going up to a friends cabin to go skiing and relax in the hot tub, which is great, but I KNOW I will have at least one drink. I'm not so nervous about the calorie consumption because I will be…

I feel your pain. Just about 2 years ago I was 120 pounds and jumped up to almost 179 (and no, I don't have any kids... pathetic, I know) :/ right now I'm 171, which is still wayyy over what I need to be considering I'm 5' 3", but I'm progressing. It's so difficult to resist the temptations that I'm constantly surrounded…

Thanks for your help!

All I Can try to do is motivate myself :] Maybe he will see what the changes have done for my life and he will want to change his! Thanks to those that are providing positive feedback, and to those that are criticizing and making assumptions... find something better to do with your time :] Thank you

Thank you for the advice.

Did anyone understand the post? It wasn't a post about me blaming my significant other for my choices, it was explaining my scenario and asking for advice to make better choices. The obvious choice is to NOT EAT it, but advice on how YOU PERSONALLY motivated yourself and got through it would be a little bit more helpful…

Get it girl! You look incredible! I've gone completely backwards with my weight. I've gained about 6 pounds in the past 2 months :/ Summer is quickly approaching, and in Montana we have to use our limited time at the lake to the fullest. I need to start NOW if I want to be where you're at. Thank you so much for the…

This is so true! Once upon a time I could still party all weekend AND lose weight. I wish it was like that now!

And I posted a more recent picture of me just so you guys can get a better idea of how much weight i've gained. It's still not a "full body" because iam leaning forward, but you'll get the idea.

lol Well, I do that too. It definitely speeds up my metabolism, and Iam more focused when I smoke. But then again, I still love my drinks on the weekends!

No, that is definitely not a recent picture. That is from the last time I dropped 40 pounds. I have gained about 25 pounds since that picture. Its just a great motivation picture for me. I usually don't log on every single day because iam not always near a computer and don't have a smart phone, so I can't simply download…

Thanks! I think that's what I needed to hear.

lol Yeah that picture was from when I was smaller. I posted it because it's perfect motivation for me. Thank you for the advice!

What is 16/8?!
