Definitely circuit training. I love her DVD's! Definitely see results and they're fun but tough! Have fun!;-)

Just back from a big move, summer with kids and vacation...I'm READY to get back on track! I would love some new friends too!;-)

Only thing that works for me is to get up and actually do it. I take 240mg of morphine plus other meds per day and the only way I can get my exercise done is if I force myself to do it. I know it's hard and I know I'll hurt but I get more energy from it than laying around. I hope this helps. I don't mean to sound mean but…

Coming from having an eating disorder I have a hard enough time eating food let alone having others pick at it. I don't look at others' diaries because I eat what I can, they eat what they can, and everybody is happy. I haven't had any of my friends complain about it. We're a mix of open and closed.

Go eat a cookie. The thread is optional. You don't have to read OR post if you don't like it!!

I have medical issues as well and I do the exercises but I do them very slowly and listen to my body. If it hurts stop! Pushing thru the pain when you have inflamed tissue, muscles, and ligaments only sets you up for more pain. The more I workout the more I am able to do! So my advice is to take it very very slow and…

I had periods of chubby growing up then started dance and ballet and was told I'd be perfect if I lost 10 pounds...so I lost 20! Dealt with an eating disorder thru my first pregnancy, miscarried, and realized what I was doing to my body. Got up to a healthy weight, got pregnant, lost all that weight then got pregnant again…

You have to give yourself time! I didn't lose any for about 3 weeks but I did lose inches. Have you measured? In my experience you lose inches before pounds. Good luck and DON'T GIVE UP!!!

Great job!!! You're looking good and congrats on the wedding!!

I say go for it! And if I were your friend and knew how much it meant to you not only would I encourage you to get it I would probably chip in on the $25!! Congrats and can't wait to hear when you get to your goal weight!!;-)

Welcome!! Having kids myself, I would tell you to include them in your plans. My kids are the first to compliment me on my losses and also the first to ask if I have enough calories to have that treat I was eyeing:-) I have taught them how to read the nutrition facts on the food and they are now super conscious of portion…

I'm always happy to be added or add friends on this journey to a better "self"!! Feel free to add me!

I think you should show off your hard work!!! Stretch marks can't be helped so forget them and strut!!;-)

I don't think you've given your body enough time to make the change. Be patient! As long as you're eating at a caloric deficit and exercising you'll lose weight but you have to be patient. Hard I know!!! Definitely take your measurements tho. When I first started exercising and watching my calories I noticed it more in my…

I've been doing Ripped for the last 3 weeks. I actually start week 4 today! I also live in an apartment but I don't have any problems with my downstairs neighbors. There are a few exercises that move you around but nothing that's made my neighbors complain! Squat jumps and a couple others. It's a Great workout!! I've lost…

Definitely don't give up!! I understand not having anything to wear but maybe you can find some deals on a couple statement pieces you can wear for awhile? Thrift stores and garage sales are always good too! I even have a friend about my size who lets me borrow a few things if I need to go out. Maybe you can find someone…

You look FABULOUS! Congrats!!

I do!! It's usually Saturday. Helps to have one day with my kids that I'm not quite as strict on. I will eat what sounds good but I still try to keep within 500 calories of my original goal. I'd hate to undo everything just to splurge one day. I'm not sure if it's good or bad but knowing I have that day coming up really…

Sounds very yummy! I'm going to make this!!

You look GREAT!! Way to go!!!!

Definitely looking good!! Congrats on your weight loss!

You look wonderful!! Congrats on your engagement too!!!

I have the opposite problem...losing inches but not weight. You've only been at it for a month tho so I'd say give yourself time. It usually takes a little bit for my body to get the picture and fall in line:-)

Do you give yourself a "cheat day"? I find I stick to my diet better if I give myself one day a week to eat what I want to before heading back into the grind. My day is Saturday so I can spend it with my kids but come Sunday morning I'm back at it!:-) I also use pictures and follow my weight and inches so I can tell what…

I think they make great motivators. I'd say keep them but definitely don't buy any more until you've reached that goal.

I'm in! I've been working really hard to cut down sodas and tea and drink more water. This will challenge me:-)

Yay! Way to go!!!!
