Well Said!!!! The term "Life style change" is not meant to be taken lightly. It is in fact for LIFE! ANd you'll be better for it.

I think when we set these goals we end up sabotaging ourselves. It's sad but true. I've battled my weight all my life. Obesity is a major issue in my family. I was a size 18 and I'm now sneaking my way into a size 8. But this has literally been over the course of 10 years. I've gone back and forth. I think I just got sick…

You NEED To see this!!!! Love him!

I Get your frustration I truly do! I've come close to giving up and just accepting the fact that this is what I'll be forever. I had lost 2% of body fat in 4 months! Talk about slow progress! But I started approaching this as more of adjusting to a new life style. I quit setting goals as in "I wanna lose 20lbs by ___" or I…

I've gone commando several times to work when I've worn skirts/dresses....It just feel good. :ohwell:

Now there's a profile picture...

I'm totally the same way.

Sept 25th is when I hired my trainer/nutritionist to help me reach my goal. But i've been trying for almost a year. We used the caliper to measure.

Yep everywhere. But it's funny you should mention the ring thing. Yesterday I took mine off because it kept flipping around. I just thought I put too much lotion on or something.

I thoroughly appreciate this! Awesome analogy. But wouldn't some of my measurements have changed? Somewhere?!

None of my measurements have changed. Waist, hips, thighs etc. All pretty much the same

Totally needed to read this. Was feeling discouraged this morning. Thank you!!!!

2 miles this morning. I'm up to 4.69 Miles :)

I'm in! I've ran 2.69 already :happy:

Yes it does get easier. If you can get past the 2nd week It just because a habit. You have to make to set it in your mind that this is not an option. It is your responsibility to get out of bed and start your day. I've found that if I get too much sleep it's just as hard for me to get out of bed as if I had gone to bed too…

I'm 29, 5'7 and 200lbs... desperately trying to get down to 160. I've been trying for quiet sometime. But my effort has been pretty 1/2 @ss. But I'll be turning 30 in April and my mission is to reach that goal or as close as possible to it by then. Anyone can add me.

I'm holding you to it!!!

Glamour had done a really great thing here: http://m24digital.com/en/2009/08/27/plus-size-glamour/ Its unfortunate that commercials like the Dove or Hanes Her Way aren't as popular as VS. Heart breaking really. But it's the world we live in and we need to not spend so much time taking it as a personal attack on us. Just…

Same here! I had lost 13lbs with MFP. Kept it off for almost a year but due to a big move new city, new job, and a bad break up I not only gained the weight back but added an additional 7lbs. My goal is to be 170 by the end of the year. So last week I officially started over.

A good combination of both. I forgot about Tabata

I'm totally gonna try this!!

Mine's VS.... versus what?

You're having a bad ayand you're entitled, its a ton of freaking work. I was feeling like that a week ago...I was just feeling sorry for myself and I found my self being defiant and not really logging all my calories or not logging at all. I just not giving a f***k cuz it's exhausting and tidious and it sucks that we have…

I'm doing one in August, in CO. I signed up for a boot camp that constantly test endurance lots of calethentics which is great for an event like that.

Vodka Diet Soda is good, only 30 calories

I'm in the same boat! between both my jobs i'm surrounded by fudge and cookies and home baked breads! Not to mention the celebrations and gift exchanges where the wine is following, I've gained 3lbs this month. I've signed up for a bootcamp to at least burn the extra calories, and I'm trying not to be too hard myself. This…

My gym actually has Zumba classes it's a great class, i can only assume the game would be just as good
