Unless I'm at the gym chugging on my water bottle, I cannot drink my water unless it's in a glass and with a straw!!

Sam's club!! We get the double egg packs, two of them, every 2 weeks!!! OMG I think theres like 4 dozen eggs in each double pack!! OH and you separate the eggs yourself LOL

DON'T Have the surgery!!! OMG I can tell you from my own experience of what I've seen in friends and family that it is NOT a good thing!! It's quite discouraging if you don't see the scale sliding in the downward direction so there may be other factors happening here. You may not be measuring your food accurately or at…

Good luck!! I opted to NOT have GP it's a personal choice we all make. I've had my own stories of friends who didn't fair well from surgery and another who faired well but has stomach problems...I don't want to scare you because NOT every story is bad...

YES!!! It was the beginning of my journey, it got my *kitten* off the couch and moving!! I lost my first 50 lbs that way!! It was a gradual start from 15 minutes, to 30, to an hour, to 3 miles to 5 miles to the gym with a trainer! Pace yourself, don't give up and just push yourself to the limit, turn around and come back!!…

Squats, dead lifts, straight leg dead lifts (all of these done with weights, increasing in poundage as you work it weekly), one leg lunges, regular lunges, scissor lunges, in/outs My back end looked as wrinkly as an elephants (NO LIE!!) and with all of these listed above...OMG the changes are amazing!!! Still a work in…

MMMmmmmm They have got to be one of THE BEST tasting protein bars I've tried!! No stomach problems BUT lots of protein can give you gas and some bloating. The cinnamon roll ones are really super yummy, so are the oreo ones, omg..they all are BUT pricey!!! PS-Pure Protein bars are good ones too just letting you know.

I had someone at the gym say they're seeing my muscles starting to take shape. BONUS!! Had another person say to me that they couldn't believe I was 43 and had kids, they though I was in my late 20s early 30s...BIGGER BONUS!! Had a guy just hit on me this weekend asking me if I was single!! WHOOT WHOOT JACKPOT!! Just small…

My own experience with TTOM is just as horrible if not worse!! I have heavy days, where I am literally dying curled up on the couch with a blanket and pillows in a fetal position popping prescription ibuprofen to numb the pain. In the beginning of my weight loss journey I would totally skip the gym!! There was NO way you…

I buy candy bars and throw them into my purse to torture the crap out of myself and push my tolerance and motivation to resist them. I buy at least one a week and it sits there...eventually I give them to one of my kids or boyfriend or I cave and eat it... So stupid and I don't know why I dangle the fish to push temptation…

MMMmmmm I remember picking tomatoes right out of my garden, wiping them on my shirt and eating them...I ain't dead yet!!

bump...brb LOL

Weight Watchers has a PHENOMENAL recipe too!! Mmmmmm!!! LOVE crab cakes!! Great now I want to make some!!! :drinker:

What's awesome is working with my trainer and other "skinny" girls in his class and being able to lift heavier weights, do more reps, or do things they can't do...that comes with work and time. I don't think so negatively, I look at them as my PUSH to get the desired outcome!!
-
Don't buy the stuff, don't have it in the house... I used to push myself and try my patience by buying a candy bar and pushing myself to see how long I could go without eating it., reverse psychology is what I like to call it...push yourself to the challenge of "how long can I go without .... until I cave?" My boyfriend…

Dr. Oz pimped this and we all know what's going on him right now...

He did ask those things, I should've elaborated a little more I think. He said not everyone is a runner especially when you've never run a day in your life. He did bump up my training though.
-
I have tried many time to run, I started C25K a couple times, I joined a running prep class at my gym, I tried to use the tread at the gym on my own, I got a dog and tried running with him...NOTHING!!!! I got nothing but serious hip pains and runners splints (I think they called it that). I talked to my trainer and he said…

I have road rage, serious road rage and most of my rage stems from drivers who are irresponsible and make stupid decisions!! I have been in 9, yes NINE, car accidents and NONE of them were caused by me (the last was weather related) and almost ALL of them could have been prevented!! UGHHHH I am a little off topic but I saw…

I sweat ALL THE TIME like I'm going through menopause or something!! I start warming up for the trainer and I burst out sweating, by the time my session is done, I have sweat running down my damn arms!! I have protein gas, from upping my protein intake...it's horrible and it can clear a room in a second!! Because I was…

Just watch the sugars and fat in them.

I don't eat at buffets either, it's too much uncontrolled portions and eating, I also come from the old school of "clearing your plate" all of those things can really sabotage weight loss. However, there are healthy alternatives provided, eat the salad buffet before you venture to the hot foods and grab the meats before…

25 plank to pushups in a row without stopping!!! whoot whoot!!

I had a hard time today getting out of bed, was extremely sore from the weekend and from Monday's workout...as hard as it was I went to the trainer and I worked hard... not a big NSV but if you knew how I was feeling, it was a big thing for me!!
