ME TOO!! WOW!! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! WAY TO GO!!!

Exactly!

SERIOUSLY......this is the first success story that made my eyes tear up!!!! GIRL...you are an inspiration, motivator, and just a down right amazing success story!!! THANK YOU for taking the time to share it with us all. I am going to come back to this post any day that I am feeling down and sad and having a hard time…

Can I 4th it? I have the Fitbit Flex and LOOOOOOVVVEEEEE IT!!!!

Oops....sorry, I didn't see that you weigh your food and get plenty of water....I must have skimmed that part. But, I do have something to add...tell your friends that want you to quit working out that they don't give good advice at all....to be honest, that is a TERRIBLE thing to tell you. Keep working out and get your…

There are a couple things that I noticed!... 1. You are eating way too many carbs versus protein in your diet. There was a day in there where you had 188 grams of carbs and only 40 or so of protein. You need to get more protein into your diet. I met with a personal trainer and she said that the majority of your carbs…

It's funny that people are writing on here again because.....a year ago that seemed impossible and now I can burn 500 EASILY.....the other day I ran on the treadmill for 60 minutes (NSV for me) and burned 813 calories! What a great feeling!

Thank you! That is what I was thinking too! I'm going to do what works for ME and like it :)

Ok so I met with the trainer yesterday.....she seemed really great and put me through a hell of a workout. It was awesome.....BUT, I brought up the idea of 5X5 and she didn't like the concept at all. She said for my body style that if I want to tone and become "cut" I need to do low weight and high reps. I know that some…

HAHAHAHAHA!! Love this! That is how I am feeling! :bigsmile:

THANK YOU! I needed to know this too!

DANG!! If I wanted to quote everything I loved about your responses...I would be quoting you all! Thank you for the help and suggestions. I have my mind set....I'm going to do this and I'm going to do this right!!!!

THANK YOU!!!! Such great advice!!!!!

Awesome awesome awesome!!! Thank you for all of this! That helps me out a lot! I actually was supposed to meet with the trainer today but she needed to cancel and reschedule for Wednesday. I will look into the Scooby website! I appreciate it :)

WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For someone who understands the NOT ever running to running....it sure is a great feeling!!!!!!!!!! I'm so proud of you!

Great! Thank you for your input! I figured that HRMs don't work with lifting but, I wasn't sure. I also know that I am eating too many carbs and not enough protein in the day either. Great recommendations!

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you ladies :)

HAHA! Too funny! I bet they are all jealous!! And, what the heck is the broomstick for? Practicing form?

I am meeting a trainer on Monday so that will be nice to have someone show me form! Thank you all for your input! I am excited to start!!

The weighing thing is a GREAT suggestion...sometimes we "eye" it and we are actually putting more food in our mouths than what we think... Also, what cardio are you doing 5-6 times a week? If it is ALWAYS the same thing then you should try shocking your body and change it up...for example..if you always use the treadmill…

:drinker: :smokin: :bigsmile: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Love it!

I know that a lot of people don't like the artificial low calorie juice things like Crystal Light BUT....I LOVE them :smile: It makes me drink them so fast because they taste so good! The generic brand ones are just as good! Raspberry Lemonade is my favorite!!!

Count me in if there is room!!! I can't wait! I have never done a challenge on here before!

BOOM!! EXACTLY!!!!!!! Way to go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to be a big binge eater.....but to be honest, I don't anymore. I realized I was more sad when I did it then I was thinking about doing it.....here are some things that I did to end my binge eating battle.... 1. Eat ALOT of small meals....this is a typical day for me and I eat around 1500 calories. I am 5'2" (barely)…

BUMP!! LOVE ALL OF THESE RESPONSES!!

I love love love this post!!!! I am SO very proud of you!!!!

I ordered the Fitbit flex because I got a great deal on it at a school I work at! I am really excited to use it....the question I have is what are your reasons for syncing it to MFP and also what are your reasons for NOT syncing it to MFP for those that don't! I can't wait to wear it!
