WTG! You made it here! Good Luck on your journey.

I sae the show and saw in those women the same insecurities I have. I did not think they were confident at all but trying to be ok with it. I am blessed to be one of those people that carries my weight well. When I tell people how much I weigh they ask where am I putting it. But I know. I see. I have been riddled in the…

What a great quote! And so true. I was somewhat discouraged this morning when I weighed and I gained two pounds. This after passing up cake and my favorite cookies yesterday at work. Promised not to "breaka my stride"! Passed up cake this morning too! Thanks for the encouraging quote!

LOL! I think I have the good, the bad and the ugly within myself. As I go through on this weight loss journey I find I have to balance all of those forces within. I want to think the good will always win, but it doesn't. After all this isn't a movie.

Welcome Paul! So glad you finally made it here. You will love it. Good luck and enjoy your journey!

Wow! I want to be like you when I grow up. WTG! :heart:

I have the same problem. I started drinking protien shakes to up the calories. I try to time it after exercise so it can help in muscle recovery. I keep some of the mix at work as well.I also tried to just add snacks during the day like nuts and cheese and eggs. I have been told for years I eat like a bird and was starving…

OMG! I was getting back on ready to post the exact same thing.. I have been loosing and gaining the same weight for the last month. I know I have been making some wrong decisions but I cannot figure out how to stop making those wrong decisions right now. It sucks to think I am my own worst enemy. I am not even half way.…

Welcome Tasha! You just took a BIG step. Congrats on making a great choice for your success. I am sure it will only be one of many.

Wow! WTG! You look great! I have been stalled in the same place for about three weeks. Going up and back down but not down more. Thanks for reminding of what I am working toward. You look amazing!

I am going to hold out from drinking until I go on vacation and then I am just gonna have a good time. Going to eat what I want (small portions) and drink what I want (not so small portions) When I get back from vacation I will return to sobriety. I still cannot believe I am not having the 2 cocktails every evening. I…

Are you sweet or what? I needed that. Just when I was thinking there is no way I will ever feel pretty again, here you are. Thanks for your encouraging words. I think God led you to use your powers for good today! LOL! Thanks. You are blessed and congratulations on your amazing weight loss.

WOW! WTG! You have come so far and are so close! Keep up the good work. You are awesome!

WOW! WTG! You have come so far and are so close! Keep up the good work. You are awesome!

No... What are burpees?:huh:

WOW! 114 pounds lost? You are my hero! When I htink about all of the choices you made to get there? That is awesome! :smile:

Yay! I want to be just like you when I grow up! I am so close yet so far. You are there! Congratulations! You are rockin it!

I always have it with tri-color cracked peppercorns. I have never added salt. Ihave also added granola like I would yougart. But alot of good ideas here. Thanks for sharing everybody.

TOM? LOL! I have never heard that. I was thinking Thanksgiving. Tom Turkey? That is so funny! Keep it up girl. I can tell you it is definately important that you get in the caolries. I have started drinking protien shakes in the morning and after I work out to try to up my calories. When I get stalled I also look at my…

How cool is this? I am on a low carb diet and love my wine but can live without it. I love my crown. I went to a party and one of the hosts asked me if he could fix me a drink and I said yeah I brought some Crown Royal. He asked me what I wanted with it and I said ice. It has been a running joke since. But seriously,…

Good for you! That is my next goal. I never thought I would look forward to being overweight. But I will take it over obese any day. I have 7 more pounds to go. I am SO happy you are there. I will be right there with you soon. Way to go sister!

WTG! Keep it up! You have made it much further than you ever thought you would. Keep it up. You have what you need to go all the way!

Welcome Back!:smooched:

WOW! WoW! WOW! Way to go! You look great! And are an inspiration to me. I just gained 2 pounds this morning and I am sure it is from water retention and to much salt but dang. Still irratating. I can only imagine how many times you experienced dissapointment along the way. And still you pushed on. Keep it up! You have got…

ZUMBA! Combine the fat loss with Zumba and you have it. A lot og gyms are offering the classes. I hate crunches and sit ups. I can see the results mostly ABs and arms. A great cardio workout that tones your abs.

Awe ~~ They served you well. I went shopping for tennis shoes today and at one point I felt like one of those dogs on America's Funniest Videos when they are walking in socks. What am I going to do? I think super glue sounds like a really good idea right now.

I love, love, love, love Zumba! I have the tapes and tried those and they were great ! I go to class two times a week (down from three due to my schedule) and generally use the DVD for the Party and Abs workout. I tried Zumba after getting a trial offer and have not looked back since. I finally found exercise that I LOVE!…

Welcome! You have so come to the right place. When you say 50 pounds all at once it seems so unreachable. Setting small goals have helped me. Some people do 5 or 10 pound incremental goals. My first goal was to get down to where I was the last time I dieted and then 210. My next goal is to be below 203 before Thanksgiving.…

Welcome, You've come to the right place. Feel free to friend me. This site has been a godsend for me. I have been on for three months and I think this site is one reason I have stuck to the plan. Good Luck!

What is the 30 day shred?
