great job!! you look amazing!!

Hello All! I've been here for over a year on and off and have committed to changing my life for many of the same reasons you all stated. I started 2012 at my heaviest weight ever - 230 pounds. I"m down to 193 now through ups and downs and struggles with diet and exercise. In late 2012 i fully committed to getting healthy…

a lot of times it honestly depends on the gym, and the person. Just keep an open mind. I've been to some where they sell, sell, sell and tell you how you NEED a trainer yada, yada, yada. I've also been to one where she was genuinely interested in helping me reach my goals and showed me the right way to use the equipment,…

turbofire fire45 EZ!!! Love Turbo!

Hi ! i can try to help you! when you first log on you should see "my dashboard" in blue with a drop down under your name on the left side of the page towards the top. when you click on this dropdown you should be able to click to edit your profile, add photos, etc. Under the "workouts" tab (two spaces down from your My…

Everyone here is right! I'm just finishing week 12 and i think it took me 2 or 3 weeks to get everything down - and i still mess up sometimes. But, as long as you're moving you're burning! The HIITS are especially hard to master at first b/c they move so fast. Hang in there, you'll get it in no time. Feel free to message…

way to go! beachbody and turbofire, esp are awesome! so happy for you! keep up the good work!

Just finished my first TurboFire workout - i loved it. I know once i get the moves down i'll be hooked. for the first time in my life i can actually say that i can't wait to workout tomorrow :) Would love some other TF friends for support - feel free to add me :)

first, know that you're not alone. I think all of us "fall off the wagon" and have to start over. I know I have. This is my first 5 day stretch back...i just keep reminding myself how great i felt physically and emotionally in the spring when I was logging and working out and how crappy I feel now. You CAN do this...and…

Yikes! that's kind of scary. i'd expect it for someone like me who isn't active but you're always active! is the VOG bad lately (i haven't checked the weather in a few days) I know last time the vog was bad and I ran i had a really hard time....but i think it's def something you should get checked out! Keep us posted.

Hi! So sorry to hear you're feeling this way. I have suffered from depression and anxiety disorder for 15 years. I encourage you to see your doctor as there are meds that can help. I will say, in addition to the meds, the two things that have really helped me have been exercise and more importantly, cutting the bad carbs…

glad to hear i'm not the only one who only makes it to week 3 before throwing in the towel. I really like your idea of repeating the weeks until you are confident in them. I think i'll try that as well. Keep up the good work!

i have a love/hate relationship with my scale. the last few weeks i loved it. This week, not so much. I think i become obsessed with the numbers on it but i just can't "break up with it" b/c then it seems the weight slowly creeps back on....what to do, what to do. LOL

I live in Waikiki but we hope to move to Kailua by summer! <3 Hawaii!

I'm new to MFP and was wondering the same thing! I live in Waikiki. If anyone starts a group here in Oahu, let me know, would love to participate!

Way to go! (and i agree, used to eat the chicken patties all the time, now they gross me out too!) keep up the great work!

Def see it! Way to go! What's your secret? Keep up the good work!

i just tried the Atkins shakes this week too! They are delicious and they've really helped me stay full. Definitely recommend!

You look great! Way to go. I hope one day I can share a similar story! You give me hope. Keep up the great work. :smile:
