Seinfeld!!!! Still have my hopes up for a movie :)

I have been at this over 2 years and am 30 pounds away from hitting my 100 pound goal. The best piece of advice I have received here is that weight loss is not linear. I would go a few weeks and lose 1-3 pounds each week, then nothing for a few weeks, then 5 in a week, then gain a pound and a half. Dont stress about it.…

I am 30 away from my 100 pound goal. I am at a standstill right now and motivation drought!! With the new year, I am damn determined to get to that goal. It will have taken me about 2 years to lose 100 pounds. I did it slow on purpose. I can maintain my weight when I need a break. When I had the best luck, I was netting…

I am 25 pounds away from my goal. I am in a major slump right now. I have had several of these throughout my journey. There are time periods of either no loss when I am busting my butt, or no loss due to not giving a crap. Its the ebb and flow and you just have to go with it. When you feel yourself burning out, switch it…

I'm 5'1 and eat about 1800 cals a day. I am also in my mid 30's and have a thyroid problem. I have lost almost 80 pounds and hope to lose 30 more. When I exercise more, my body needs more fuel. I pay special attention to my macros. I know people say a calorie is a calorie, blah blah blah, but for me, that doesnt work. I do…

hello everyone!!! I am Brooke, social worker, rocker chick, mother of 2 boys and love to make people smile and laugh!!! I have lost almost 80 pounds and have about 30 left to go!! I want to be in the best shape of my adult life before I turn 40. I will be 35 in March, so I have time to see this come to fruition. Best…

I am 34, turn 35 in March!!! I was hoping to be at my goal by my 35th birthday, but I am not so confident I will reach it. We shall see!!!! I have lost over 70 and would like to lose another 25!!

Put tape under her mouse. I had a coworker do that to me last week and it was really annoying. That and playing metal music. My office mate listens to pop and easy listening. She hates my rock \m/ :smiley:

Easy, I'm an only child!!!

I am in the process of gaining it all back, but have (hopefully) caught it before it gets too far. I the same as you have had a work schedule change and no longer am able to workout on my lunch break. This is the only time I can workout and actually get anything out of it. I am on thyroid meds, but am still tired all of…

When I get down on my weight loss being hella slow, I look back at old pics!! What a difference!!!!

YEP!!! I try to fix my hair to have it look cute, but usually end up with a "funky bun" on the top of my head. I cant wear foundation, ever!!! I'm just glad I have good skin.

1 bag frozen chicken breasts thawed 1 envelope onion soup mix 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix 1 jar pepperonis in the juice 1-2 tsp garlic Cook on low about 6-7 hours. I usually just let mine go all day while I am at work. throw it all in and it will shred. You can do the same with a bottom roast instead of the chicken.…

I dont do traditional Crossfit, mine is more a Crossfit bootcamp. I was a member of the Crossfit group on here, but they were kind of exclusive, so I left. I love the style of Crossfit I do!!! It has helped me so much!! I am just getting back at it and need some motivation to kick it into high gear!!!!

I started doing Crossfit at about 250 pounds. I am 5'2, so 250 pounds on me is quite robust!!! I tried it at first simply for comedy material. The funny fat girl doing Crossfit will be hilarious. I almost died the first time, comedy ensued as I had hoped. Then my stupid friend said she wanted to go back and wanted me to go…

I am at that point again right now. I totally get in the zone and its just second nature to me then I will get off track somehow, and its gone. Its hard to get that mojo back, but I am going to do everything in my power to get it back. I need to get back into a routine. Thats what helps me.

I have done that in the past. I typically use the 30DS as a filler in between weights. I would think you should still take a full rest day every so often though.

I only lost about 50 my first year. I have lost 80 total in about a year and a half. I have been on here for over 2 years, but was pregnant for some of it in the beginning. I am hoping to have 100 pounds lost by my 2 year mark which will be March 1st 2015 (Also my 35th birthday) :)

Yum!!! Will def try!!! Thanks for posting!!!!

The following is just the stuff I think helped me lose. It is not necessarily the gospel, so tweak as needed :) My advice would be: 1. make sure you are getting enough calories. You need to learn to eat the most cals with still being able to lose. 2. Protein!!! Find out your lean body mass and eat around that number of…

Just from experience, I was unable to maintain on Phen. I didnt go overboard on eating either when I stopped. I ate very little while on it, so when I picked up just normal eating habits again, it screwed me up big time. I would ask your doc. They seem to throw this stuff at ya, then when it comes to maintenance, they have…

Well I know I wont ever get down to a 35" waist, but I dont really care. If I am still "overweight" that is not going to deter me. I need to make the changes I know I can live with for the rest of my life. If I end up with diabetes because I didnt get down to 120 pounds, I guess I will just have to live with that, but I…

Thanks for all of the support everyone!!! It is a lifestyle change and I am giving myself plenty of time to get the weight off, so that does make it easier. And I have come too far to let it all go in the crapper. A year ago, my goal weight just seemed so far away, and I am so damn close now!!! Its exciting and…

I am 34, and have about 25 left to go!!!!

I raise my cals up to maintenance for a week or 2 and slow the cardio down a bit. After about 2 weeks I slam the cals back down again to my normal range (nothing drastic) and kick up the exercise again. Works like a charm!!!

As long as I can still beat his *kitten*, he's good!!!

You wont!!! A friend on my FL said to me one time, "Its all about the ebb and flow!!!" It was a very simple statement and I know he had no idea it would resonate with me the way that it did. When I am on a downward spiral, I KNOW I will come back up again. I KNOW it will because I want it bad enough. I had lost about 25…

Proving to myself that I can do this the right way and for good.
