I just turned 48 and I need to loose 135 pounds. I joined in 2013 and lost 50 lbs. Hit a majorly stressful situation and gained 35 of it back. I could use some extra support. Thanks, Catherine

I love my Asics and they hold up extremely well. Now is a good time to buy because of back to school sales. I just bought some at foot locker for about $75 and saved $40 on them. Just shop around.

You can do it. Take pride in the smallest steps. If you loose 1/2 lb congratulate yourself, because that is a start. If you walk around the block, the same thing. Everything starts adding up. When I first started I had a small white board on the wall. In big numbers I wrote how much I had lost during the last week, even if…

I would be interested. I am starting back after a year or so. I had lost 50 pounds and gained half of it back. Started back again last month.

I feel your pain. I am 47 and started being premenopausal when I was in my early 40s. Lucky for me I don't have the sweats, (knock on wood) but I am finding it harder to loose weight and when I do it is slower. Here's to being healthier though and glad to know that it is not just me:smile:

Hi, I am working on lowering my pepsi intake. I was up to 6 cans a day and am now down to 3, sometimes 4. It is hard, but you need to do it a bit at a time. I cant drink diet soda because artificial sweeteners give me migraines. I try to replace a soda with tea and make my tea at home half regular/half decaf and for…

It is a Jillian Michaels work out. I ordered the DVD from Amazon.

I would like to join. I will do the 30 day shred in September.

This is what helped me. I suffered from all three of the same things and didn't get help for over 20 years. Once I got up enough nerve to see a therapist, the cognitive behavioral therapy was a god send. If you cant afford a therapist google it and get some information. Basically, you are listing out a few positive things…

I would like to join. I am starting again for the second time after a year lapse. Week # 1 – August 4th -- Goal 180 minutes: Mon: Tue: Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total / min left: 0 / 180

Hello everyone, I did myfitness pal about a year ago, lost 45 pounds, let stress take over and gained back about 20 of those pounds. So, as of yesterday, my goal was to get back on track, loose the weight I need, watch my diet and exercise. I love Leslie Sansone DVD's, she helped me loose the weight first time around.…

Chocolate chip granola bars aren't bad and not a whole lot of calories. Or if the craving is bad enough and you have the calories have just a single chocolate cookie. Will kill the craving without going overboard. Remember ... it's not a diet, its a life style change and we need to allow ourselves small treats in…

Good morning, Feel free to add me if you like. I started last November at 269 lbs. Currently I am 216 lbs and my goals weight is 140. I understand what you are saying about not always having been fat, but this is the punishment for not appreciating you body. You can do it. It is slow going but now, 9 months later I laugh…

Hello everyone, I would like to join the support would be great. I started it about a month ago and managed to make it through the first week and could hardly move. So today will be back on with Day 1/Level 1. Good luck to everyone:smile:

I wish that I could give you and myself the magic solution. I have dealt with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. When I started to loose weight in November 2013 it was due to a medical test result that scared me. Loosing a little bit of weight was the key. I started with trying to just eat better one…

Hello everyone, My name is Catherine and I live in Liberal, KS. My current weight is 220.6 and my goal weight is 150. I started in November 2012 and have lost 48.6 lbs so far. I am feeling a little unmotivated lately and thus the weight has been coming down slow. I need to get some of my motivation back. My goal for August…

I work 40-45 hours a week, am going to be going back to online school on September 1, 20 hours a week, have a 17 and 19 year old at home. The 19 year old has a baby due in September, who will live at the house, and whom I will be babysitting for in…

Personally for me I get cramps when I am low on calcium. I add a calcium supplement to my diet and the cramps will ease up after a few days. This along with plenty of water.

I am in the same situation and it is very hard. Some days I wake up really discouraged but you have to look at the small things. Like putting on a shirt that you wore a week ago that fit fine and now it is too loose to wear. The scale didnt move but I lost inches. Set your self small goals to work towards. For example:…
