Yep. Commit to going even when you really don't feel like going. Just do it. You will eventually make it a habit (I think it takes 3 weeks to cement a habit) and you will see the pounds drop!

Try doing crunches but put one let straight out on the ground instead of bent and then alternate. Also, I have heard bicycle crunches help with that.

Awesome work! What an accomplishment!

You look amazing! Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the hard work!! :)

You should be eating some of your exercise calories especially when you burn as many calories as you have today. Anyone would be starving after that many calories! Great work though! You are a rock star!

You look amazing! Great work! Thanks for the inspiration! Bump!!

I never wanted to be inside! I will not parent like this if at all possible! My kids aren't going to be zombies in front of the TV. Ick.

Thats a great story! Thanks for sharing!! :) Happy holidays!

Just eat soup or salad and a big glass of water before you have your main course and you will feel full sooner. Make sure to eat enough protein so your meal sticks with you and you don't feel the need to eat sooner!

Another challenge would be great! I like having to check in and be accountable to a group of people. Thanks!

I've lost 11 lbs total! I am on track and really hope to lose my last pound this week, although all I want to do is watch Dexter and EAT!! :) I think I will be ok as long as I get to the gym. Good luck all and good work!

I always weigh myself without any clothing on, right when I wake up, after I have used the restroom :)

You look amazing!! :) So inspiring! Thank you for posting to keep the motivation going!

You look fantastic!!!!!

You are amazing no matter your size. If your feelings are getting in the way of your relationship and happiness in general, it may be worth a trip to see a counselor. I can relate to the feelings you are experiencing. I often feel I am not good enough and it is so important to get that turned around. It is a thinking…

I would suggest not eating Yoplait because it contains high fructose corn syrup and aspartame if you are into eating clean. I LOVE Chobani 0% fat Greek yogurt and it has 15 grams of protein in it. It really sticks with you and has fewer calories and sugar than Yoplait wihout all of the chemicals. And it is super yummy!

I would just plug it in and make sure you are eating enough with your exercise :) Good luck!

Bake your veggies (cauliflower, asparagus, broccoli) with garlic salt or Mrs Dash. They are so good baked! Also, olive oil is great! I like to put a little horseradish on shredded brussels sprouts. So good!

Congrats!! I love love LOVE your signature!!

Great work!! You are an inspiration to us all! :)

I am a little bummed. The scale went down two pounds this week and then when I weighed in today, I went up 2 pounds. Super lame. I was under my calorie goal all week and worked out almost every day. Also, I went skiing all day yesterday so I thought it would be a big number. Is it possible my body is in recovery and…

Look at the bright side: you only ate half and you can make up for it tonight with a workout. Its ok to splurge! Just make it fit into your day! Maybe plan on having more protein with your meal tomorrow and you won't feel so hungry after! :)

http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/baked-spaghetti-squash-lasagna-style/Detail.aspx Baked Spaghetti Squash Lasagna is my new favorite! I love it! Ate it yesterday! Instead of stewed tomatoes I used spaghetti sauce and mushrooms. Sooooo goood!

Instead of stewing in your room, could you go for a walk and remember why you are doing all of this? It is no fun to be angry. Maybe you can turn it around for yourself and realize that in the end, you rock and pizza doesn't matter! :) Good luck! I know this is so hard! Pizza is one of my weaknesses!

I am down two pounds this week. I am super excited! At the gym, we are doing a weight loss challenge as well and I am in the top ten highest percentage weight loss overall! I'm #6 :) So exciting! Also this week, i decided I would stop fantasizing about being a runner and actually give it a try. I downloaded a training…

It's the holidays! Can you give the cookies as a gift to someone? It would be a great gift! :)

I am down 7 pounds which is super exciting. I gaining .8 pounds this week, which I am super proud of actually! I was at my sister's all week for Thanksgiving and there were appetizers, and leftovers, and pie galore. She has an elliptical so I was able to work out a few times while there and she has a Wii Fit which I think…

Good morning!! So I have lost a total of 7 pounds since we have started the challenge! I am super excited about it and am looking forward to seeing the scale continue to move downward. I am a bit nervous about Thanksgiving. That is a lot of temptation for a few days. Thanksgiving is longer than one day if you are with…

Hey there! Can you share with the group what you have done to lose all of the weight? ARe you just following the calorie count on the website? Working out? How much/often? Thanks for posting your photos! You are awesome!

18 lbs is way too much to lose in two weeks. You should only lose somewhere between 1-3 pounds per week to be healthy. Thanks! Amy
