My ultimate goal is to lose 150 pounds, if I ever make it there i am planning a pretty special tattoo...I have a tattoo now, and will probably get another before this happens, but my plan is to get a kind of commerative tat for all this hard work. it would start on my side just above my hip and go up my side: i want a…

Thanks so much for the replies!

I used to weigh everyday, and the fluctuations made me insane. The fluctuations made me question my progress constantly, so I was always sabotaging myself. I just implemented the idea that I am only going to weigh once a week. That way, not matter what it says on Sunday morning, I know I've had a good week! It helps me…

Nice, I'm in! :)

my mother did it, and she did lose about 85 pounds doing it, but it is very expensive and hard to maintain,becasue the food tastes just awful. My mother had a lot to lose, so at the time it worked great, but after she stopped (because it got so expensive) she couldnt really keep it off.

I was on swim team in high school, and beyond just practice, practice, practice, there are some specific exercises you can do to target those muscles. 1. Butterfly! 2. Shoulder Press 3. Shoulder Extensions (to the side) 4. Push Ups! 6. LEG PRESS (the majority of your momentum and speed should be coming from your legs when…

Think of it this way, for every success story, there are probably 100 people on this site, who've "fallen off the wagon" just that day. This is not easy, sure it seems simple enough, log your calories, exercise and lose weight, but we know it's hard. I struggle everyday, I've lost the weightloss battle so many times, in…

You are my new inspiration! I love your story, and you look amazing!

I'm on board with you on this one. This past week, i had a revelation, and that was that I dont actually care about the number on the scale. I want to feel better, and sure I want to look better, and for the past 6 days i have been sticking to my calories, and exercising everyday, and I feel great! There isnt really a…

That's incredible! I hope one day you post a success story that detials your journey! I am in the same boat, only I'm just getting off the river bank, similar starting weight, similiar goal, similar height and age. I hope that i can have as much success as you! amazing job!

I'm 5'9" and I would love to be 150 in an ideal world, but more realistically I am shooting for the low 200s. I have a big frame, i was a swimmer and a softball player, and my shoulders and hips are wide, and my Dr said that was a good goal. Good Luck!

I ususally wear shorter 2-3 inch or wedges....I'm 5'9, and i used to never wear heels, as i've gotten older I've learned to just own it, unfotunatley, my feet are pretty big, i wear a 10-11 and my feet are WIDE! I would love to rock some sexy heels, but i can just never find good ones that have the right fit...anyone know…

I ususally take a sandwich, yougurt and an apple, if i dont have time to put lunch together before I leave, I will grab a frozen meal. There are some great tasting options that are not that bad for you, Marie Calendars makes some great lunches that are under 350 calories, as does Lean Cuisine and Healthy choice, some of…

Umm, how about the fact that you've been carb free for three months?!! If that's not a NSV I dont know what is. I am so addicted to carbs, I can't go a day without, and you went 90...so you had a bite of pancakes...who cares, you could have had a stack and probably still been on track...don't beat yourself up...you're…

Utz "the crab chip" or sour cream and onion 4. Favorite snack cracker? Triscuits (sea salt and olive oil) 5. Favorite chocolate candy? (i know it's not…

I dont think I would be able to do a water fast...that seems like a long time with nothing nutritional hitting your system. If you are going to fast, why not try jucing? Juice veggies with a few fruits (you absolutley want more veggies in there than fruit) and just drink that. If you havent, you might want to check out the…

I'm sorry you've been struggling, believe me, I go through the same thing. Granted, I don't have a job where I'm able to be on my feet (I know it sounds crazy, but consider yourself lucky), I sit at a desk all day long, surrounded by people who are constantly bringing in sweet treats (seriously, I had to give up sweets for…

I have the same problem...I cannot get myself to go work out, even though I know I need too!! Do you have a Wii or an Xbox Kinnect? Play some active video games, get zumba or dance central, they are super fun and it doesnt feel like a work out, it just feels like a video game? Or, just go for a walk before or after dinner…

Hi, this is my (more than likely) third or fourth attempt to do this, and I am in your boat. i started at 327 (i almost had a heart attack when I stepped on that scale) and am looking ot be around 180ish (I'm 5'9" so I think that's a nice number to shoot for). Add me!

I struggle with the same issues. I have a lot to lose as well, and the past few weeks, I have been so lazy, I havent lost anything in a while, but just keep at it. Feel free to add me if you need someone to talk to. I know it's so hard, but it will be so worth it in the end, when you can finally come on here and post your…
