Great information for newbies....and all of us who need a reminder.

Good information!

I have two sizes in my closet currently 14 & 12. Some 14s are too big, some fit good-some 12s fit and some are too tight. Now if you ask me how many sizes of clothes are in my attic-that is a whole different story. I have been many sizes so...8, 10, 12, and maternity! I don't like to keep clothes in my closet that are way…

I've always wanted to look at myself in the mirrors and grunt the like the big guys at the gym:)

I had mine removed two summers ago. I had three wisdom teeth (the fourth was just missing). All three were impacted and bottom tooth on right side had nerves wrapped around the jawbone. Honestly, it was quite unpleasant, but not unbearable. I don't think I ate the first day. After that I just had applesauce, soup, mac n…

Congratulations! What an accomplishment. I started approximately 10lbs heavier than you, but am also hoping to lose 50lbs. You are a great inspiration. How long did it take you?

Body blast is what the class is called. We do everything is sets of 8-10. It is more about the number of reps and less about how quickly they are being done. I kind of thought it might be a little cardio and strength, but wasn't sure. Thanks for the input.

I have recently started running and can run a mile and half without walking. Doesn't sound like much to most people, but it is to me. Also...I rarely eat at restaurants, but when I do I love to order dessert. No dessert for me. Haven't ordered a dessert in quite a while.

I think if you lose that much weight in 5 months it may be done in an unhealthy weight. The best weight loss is 1-2lbs a week. That would give you around 40 lbs.

Congratulations!!! You are such an inspiration.

Seems pretty good to me. It's recommended to lose between 1 & 2 pounds per week.

I swear the day I turned 30 I had a harder time controlling my weight. I am pushing 33 and still working on it!

Thanks for the information. I am going to check it out!

I am not getting married. I've been married 11+ years, but I am going to be a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding. The wedding is coming up in May and I am hoping to drop 25-30lbs before the wedding.

:smile: Congratulations! What an accomplishment.

I lost 30lbs about 8 years ago. I was so proud of myself and how I felt in my own skin. I only kept the weight off for a short period of time because I had a miscarriage and went through a rough time with depression. I just didn't care at that point! Food was a great comfort for me and I quit exercising. I successfully got…

Overnight oatmeal? Is that the same thing as crockpot oatmeal?

Hard boiled eggs seem pretty easy. I could eat them in the car if I had to.

I know that I weigh more when I have my period. I have learned to accept that so I just don't weight myself that week. It's easier than getting upset.

Don't rely on the calorie counter on either machine. One of the trainers at the gym I go to told me that the calories are way over what you actually burn. If you eat back your exercise calories this could really mess you up. At my gym, she said the elliptical calories were much less accurate than the treadmill.

I'd like to lose 15lbs by Christmas.

I forgot to add that my friend recently starting getting the Depo shot and her doctor specifically told her that weight gain can be a side effect. If you are really unhappy with not being able to drop the weight maybe you can switch to a different birth control method.

I recently went on birth control pills and I am finding it much harder to lose weight too. It seems like I am fighting for every pound. I found that sometimes I was eating more than I did before I was on the pill. Once I realized what I was doing I starting being more careful about logging my food so I didn't go over my…

I am going to be a bridesmaid for my best friend May 2014. I am so honored that she asked me. I have been trying to lose weight for some time, but this is definitely giving me extra motivation. I don't want to me the only chunky girl in the wedding and most of the girls are really thin. I don't need to be skinny; I want to…

I am very interested in being a jogger. I love to watch other people run because it gives me such motivation. I have been working on it slowly for a while now. I jogged 10 minutes one day and I thought I was amazing!!!-never mind the guy next to me jogged for an hour straight. I am just going to keep plugging away at it…

Don't open it so you won't be tempted to eat it.

Hi everyone- I am 32 years old and I am looking to lose about 35 pounds, maybe more after I get through the initial 35. I am looking to get into really good shape. I don't want to be super skinny-more muscular and fit. Starting weight -191lbs. current weight-185lbs (I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks so it might be lower…

I am totally an emotional eater. I've always known this, but I recently became aware of how bad it was. I eat when I am happy, sad, frustrating, bored-apparently almost anything is a reason to eat. I find that when I am very busy I don't eat nearly as much. I have been really trying to listen to my body for the past few…

You are truely an inspiration!

I have learned that everyone carries their weight differently. You can't really compare yourself to other people.
