Hey everyone! I'm so glad you put this message board together...I actually have about 90+ lbs to lose but would love the added support. I have a four year old son. To be honest, I spend most of my time on FB...Do any of you? If so, let's connect. www.facebook.com/melissadembowskefrost But if not, I'd be happy to connect…

Ummm...AMAZING! I cannot WAIT to have this same pic of MY clothes! By the end of this year!!! :)

I have been vegan for 3 weeks now. If you'd like to talk more, please feel free to message me! :)

Goodness. I just spent the last hour (or so) reading this whole thread. Why did I just do that??? ;) Anyways, I typed in 'vegan' into the search field b/c I am looking to meet friends that are and also looking to learn new things. Thanks for the first part of that!

Hi there all! I am a Mom to a four year old boy...But man, does it ever seem like we have at least THREE boys at once. ;) Anyways, I am on a weight loss journey to lose 100 lbs. Ugh! Anyways, would love to have any and all of you as friends on here.

Yeah, I really wish I felt good naked AND in my clothes...Working on it though. I'd say you have half the battle over with!!! Wouldn't you?

Hey girl. I didn't read through this whole post but wanna recommend a book to you. It's called "A Course in Weight Loss" by Marianne Williamson. It is a GREAT book and has helped me look differently at things...Granted, I'm done reading it yet (have to take it in bits and pieces; it's intense) but highly recommend it…

OMGosh! I did it!!! :) Massage, here I come! ;) SW: 315 CW: 267 GW: 259 (GW for this challenge) Weigh in Dates: 2/1 267 2/8 265 (YAY!) 2/15 261 2/22 2/28

OMGosh...This is AWESOME! I wanna do it. In April, right? I'm not a runner though. Is that okay? Do you have a team name that I should register under?

Oklahoma City here! :)

Oklahoma City here! :)

I actually go back and forth about having another one BUT there's no way I would be able to have a healthy pregnancy right now. I have 100 lbs to lose and I am 36...I'll be 37 before I get to my goal weight and I know there are people that have healthy pregnancies and babies at an even older age BUT I had a high risk…

I am currently reading "Tribes" by Seth Godin and "The Gabriel Method" by Jon Gabriel. Just finished "The Kind Diet" by Alicia Silverstone...Good stuff!!! :D

SW: 315 CW: 267 GW: 259 (let's get out of the 260s, which I have been in FOREVER!) Weigh in Dates: 2/1 267 2/8 265 (YAY!) 2/15 2/22 2/28 P.S. I am going to schedule myself a massage! :)

I'm with ya, girl. I have 100 lbs to lose also! I have already lost 40 lbs by cutting out fast food, making small changes & maintaining them, and moving more. It's been over 2 years since I started but during that time I've some off time, etc. Ya know? It's life...We've gotta do what works for us. I would love to talk to…

Awesome! SOO glad I found this. I'm excited. Love accountability! :) Q: Wouldn't starting & current weight be the same? SW: 267 CW: 267 GW: 259 (let's get out of the 260s, which I have been in FOREVER!) Weigh in Dates: 2/1 267 2/8 2/15 2/22 2/28 (or whatever weigh in days you use)

Yay! So glad I found you! I just searched "vegan" and your post was the first page. I went to your blog and I could totally eat the lunch you described...It actually sounds delicious! Do you have your favorite vegan meals? I am so excited to be trying new things. I just hope it goes over well with my hubby!!! He says that…

I am not sure...I know that she has a video on the website for every chapter. It's basically an overview of what's in the chapter. Actually, I just went to Amazon and see that "Audio" is listed:…

Anita! YOU are AWESOME!!!...If this is an advertisement, it's the best one I've ever seen! Keep on ROCKIN' it, girl!!!

So the fitbit one doesn't count calories burned as well as the HRM does? That is one of the reasons I bought the fitbit one. :( Please tell me I misunderstood. :)

Hubby just bought it for me. I'm playing around with it right now but will wear it starting tomorrow. I'm excited. I know it will make me more aware of how little activity I get in a day but that is the first step, right? :) I can't figure out how to link it to MFP. Please help. Thanks! :)

Hi. Good for you for walking 1.5 miles! That's great! Plus all the exercise you get at work, right? Do you eat at work when you're there? Where do you work, btw? Any way you can take your own food or get something made to your specifics? I know it's hard to not just fall off completely when you eat something unplanned but…

OMGosh! Good for you!!! You shoulda seen my face when I saw your before picture. I even shook my head at the same time! CRAZINESS!!! I cannot WAIT to have a transformation like that. Proud of you! Good for you!!! So, what are you doing now? What did you do to lose all your weight? And what are you doing to keep it off?…

I'd like to know what you're doing as well. :)

Hey girl! I have 100 lbs to lose and it seems like it's never gonna happen sometimes. Doesn't it? Anyways, I am on my journey and I am feeling pretty good about it (right now). I have my moments though...Just like everyone else, I guess. I would love to help one another! I actually have a big support group on FB that I…

The vegan chocolate with PB for sure (with water & ice)!!! Sometimes I freeze a banana and have it in mine b/c it makes it thicker. I LOVE mine thick! I crave it every day and it's helped with my cravings for other things (other "dirty" things)! Sometimes I'll also add unsweetened vanilla almond milk to it. Enjoy! :)

Okay girl...Let's do it! I hate looking at myself on Skype but maybe I need to do that every day so I see that I'm okay and that I need to press on/forward. Do you have Skype on your computer? Web cam? Microphone?

This scares me! I have a problem tracking my bad moments (or days). Maybe that's definitely where I need to start. Just do it! Be completely honest and take the help (& opinions) that's offered. Right?

Hey! Thanks for doing this! I am actually doing the hybrid in the SuperGym. I am finishing up week 7 but only worked out once this week. UGH! Anyway, I am getting there. I feel good! My hubby is seeing a difference so that's exciting! How are y'all feeling???

Hey girl! So glad to hear that I'm not alone in this! :) I also am pretty overweight still...But at least we're doing it. Right??? Let's do this! I am finishing up week 7 of the ChaLEAN Extreme/TF hybrid. :) I'm gonna add ya.
