I read it 4 months ago and it helped me a lot! I was a serious emotional eater and found the insight and strategies in the book to be really helpful. I guess I like how she talks about "why" you are reaching for that extra slice of cake, what that says about the mood you're in. The book helped me become more aware of my…

i eat popchips which are really low in calories. i also eat ketcher's baked potato chips with sea salt. low in calories too. i might eat a bag once a week or two weeks.

Love cherries or dried mango fruit. Wouldn't have been able to say that four months ago but things change!

I'm going to go for 7.

thats about how much i lost in 3 months! it feels great, doesn't it? congrats!

Every 2 weeks, because I get obsessive about it too so it's helpful for me to do 2 weeks. I hide my scale in another room so I won't be tempted to weigh myself everyday. It works for me.

cake, i had a serious sweet tooth.

a pound a week is awesome! i know it can be frustrating but some weight loss is better than no weight loss. what you're doing is obviously working. just be patient with yourself. everything will work out.

I was 200 on Jan 1, down to 176.

running and spinning. next month i'm trying swimming!

Slices of hormels naturals choice turket lunchmeat one slice is twenty calories. Apples too.

congrats! all of your hard work paid off. celebrate!

Luck!

yeah, i feel like i'm not as moody. i like how exercising has help me manage my stress.

I;m glad I took a rest day to relax my ankle. I'm trying to learn how to take care of myself when I'm fit and when I'm injured. Got to respect those rest days!

im a turtle too. in fact, this fast runner past me in the park today and i was like how in the world does he do it. i don't pay too much attention to my time. i'm just happy i'm able to jog for 30 mins straight now, a far cry from w here i was 2 months ago.

WOOHOO! That's amazing! Congratulations!!! :flowerforyou:

wow! you look great! good job! i've been thinking about trying insanity myself! thanks for sharing! :0)

make sure you're no eating too much sodium and sugar.

I think it's great! I'm no skinny-minny but I run like an Olympian (just joking). Running is so much fun for me that I pretty much tune everyone out. That's when I'm in the zone. And I'm losing more and more weight as my endurance gets stronger and I can go longer distances. No matter what size you are, you will only reap…

I don't belong to Gold's Gym, but I did have some of the same fears when I joined LA Fitness. I was nervous about sign-ups, and how rigorous the classes would be, and if I'd look like a complete idiot cause I was really out of shape. But I ultimately went because my will was stronger than my fears, and slowly but surely, I…

Congratulations! You look great in that pic and I know you're going to do amazing in the next marathon! Way to go!

I agree. Start off slower. Soak in warm Epsom salt water baths. Try yoga to stretch out those limbs. Give yourself little massages here and there. Sit in a sauna to relax limbs (if your gym offers one). Soak in a hot tub. The pain will go away. As you can see, I'm all about getting rid of the soreness. :0) Good luck.

29 with 55 to lose!

Like someone else said, I learned that I can live without certain types of food. I also learned that weight loss is a journey and not to overgeneralize if I have a bad day like telling myself "it's never going to happen for me." Learned to be consistent.

your where i want to be! congrats! and have fun at your fitness competition.
