Um, it sounds like she said nothing of the sort. I watched the entire clip. For starters, she looks like she's lost some weight. Secondly, she mentioned several contributing factors to developing type 2 diabetes (including unhealthy diet). Thirdly, she said that she encourages people to eat things like she cooks on her…

I'd venture to say that most people who are overweight already know they are overweight. They know there are health risks to being overweight too. They don't need anyone to tell them so.

How tall are you? I'm 5'5 and when I was very active (dance/flag corps) in high school, I weighed between 137-145. I thought I was fat then because of the number on the scale and other girls weighed 115-120 (or said they did). Looking back at pictures, that was just how much I should have weighed. I was fit, active and…

My problem on top of the horrible stomach ate after eating fast food/fried foods, is that I'm always disappointed. I go in remembering how great it tasted when I ate like crap and then I order and think "What a waste of calories!" Then I feel even worse when my stomach is killing me later that night.

Starting Weight: 242 lbs Week 1: 240 (-2) Week 2: 239 (-1) Week 3: 237 (-2) Week 4: 236 (-1) Total Loss: 6 lbs!

I ran. I have not run in a long time, but when I took my dogs for a walk this week, I ran. It felt so good. =) I've also avoided alcohol, despite wanting to have a drink, because I know it will just bloat me and ruin my weigh ins. I've loved all the movies, separate from the books. I think each has it's own place. The…

I can't see the chart for the weight loss. =( ---Nevermind. Refreshed the page and it showed up.

Starting Weight: 242 lbs Week 1: 240 (-2) Week 2: 239 (-1) Week 3: 237 (-2) Total Loss: 5 lbs! Week 1: 8 points Week 2: 5 points Week 3: ? I did 2 days of strength training. Waiting on the word about the food colors. I'll go calculate that when we're sure.

Yes. I have, because I considered having surgery. I decided that the risk of death or severe side effects and the normal lifestyle of a post-surgery patient was not how I wanted to live my life. I don't really see how someone losing 250 lbs from surgery and gaining back 100 of that (40%) is considered a 'success'. They've…

I haven't done TJ, but I'm doing TF and it's a lot of fun. Before that I was using Jillian Michaels dvds. I think you may just need to switch it up and come back to it later. Doing the same workout, every day, can get boring! Especially if one of your choices doesn't work because the disk is scratched.

There actually isn't very much information out there as far as long term statistics about having weight loss surgeries. People who have the surgery can stretch their stomach pouch back out and continue leading an unhealthy lifestyle, just as people who have not had the surgery can. The surgery can not necessarily fix the…

I hadn't been keeping up with house points. It's a bit cluttered to keep up with everything with the way the forums work. I'm glad you posted it in one spot to catch up. =) Week 1 - 6 pts for getting in at least 30 minutes of exercise on 6 days 2 pts for drinking 8+ glasses of water Week 2 - 3 pts for trying 3+ new recipes…

That should be 242, 240 and 239.

Good morning everyone! HP Challenge SW: 142 Week 1: 140 Week 2: 139 This week I lost another pound! Total loss of 3 lbs. I'm so excited. =D

I didn't realize the goal weight was for the challenge. =X I'm certainly not dropping 100 lbs in 2 months! I guess 225 would be a good goal weight for the challenge.

It will be cheaper and better for you to find a doctor, general practitioner, who will work out a payment plan with you. It would be a waste to go to the ER for suspecting you have diabetes. Call around and see if you can find someone who takes uninsured or underinsured patients, or possibly your local health department…

It's Sunday and I'm proud to weigh in at 240 lbs! I'm down 2 lbs from my starting weight (just 2 days ago!)

I noticed that my issues with bladder control (4 kids) got a lot better when I switched from pads to a menstrual cup. I guess the constant pressure of having it in while I was menstruating kept me flexing those muscles. You could also get some Smartballs (made by Fun Factory and available at places like Babeland/Eden…

Sort me! I'd love to join. =D SW: 242 lbs GW: 140 lbs

I just finished week 4 (or later today I will) and did the Inferno plan too. I posted pictures to my profile and put them up on my blog (http://simply-sarah.me/2011/05/turbo-fire-week-4/) -- I have a hard time seeing the changes too. I can see your changes though. Definitely your thighs and legs are smoother, and your…

I've been reading it for a while now. I used her spinach mac and cheese recipe and red velvet cake for a family get together last year. It was SO GOOD. I also made the pumpkin butter and loved it. Lots of great stuff on that site. =D

I have a flower tattoo on my outer calf. It's shrinking and moving. I like it. =)

You look beautiful! Great job. =D

I decided to skip exercise yesterday, just because it was pretty painful. Thanks to lots of aloe gel and water, it had eased off a bit today. I wound up doing a HIIT 20 workout and Sculpt (with resistance bands) on Turbo Fire today. Skipping the workout affected my mood a lot, so I'm glad I decided to do one today. I did…

You look amazing. =) It's funny how much younger we look when we start to lose weight.

The logic that it shouldn't be logged because it's something you do daily is a bit...flawed. If that's the case, and someone burns 400 calories doing an exercise DVD every day or 600 calories running several miles, they shouldn't log it because it's something they do every single day. They should, instead, bump their…

Honestly, some kids just put on a bit of extra weight around this age and it balances out once they hit puberty. So long as he is eating a balanced diet, with occasional treats and getting plenty of exercise, I would not worry about his weight. There are more factors to determine health than just weight.

I can see a difference, but you should try wearing the same shirt for all the pictures. It helps make it more noticeable. I definitely see a smaller tummy and smoother curves.

I just finished Day 2 of the Inferno Plan. I have to pace myself and not get discouraged about keeping up. It's rough but it's a lot of fun.

You are not a weak person for giving into temptation. Eventually most people will. Especially in the earlier stages of making healthy changes to their lifestyles. It's easier, at this point in the game, to just remove the temptation all together. Even if you ordered 4 boxes of cookies, give some away to co-workers or…
