Thanks guys! I am so excited after trying so many things that haven't worked for me. When I stepped on the scale I was disappointed, but I know muscle weighs 5x more than fat so I figure that's whats going on here because I know my waist is a TON smaller than it was.

I just finished my fourth workout today, and although I've only lost one pound I can feel a difference and I noticed that my stretch marks (on my belly) which I hate are finally starting to fade! Yes!

We started the slim in 6 yesterday! If anyone else wants to join us, let us know :)

You are a the same body type (Hourglass with a large breasts) and the same weight as me! I am sending you a request! I'd love to cheer you on! I am hoping my boobs shrink though, hahahah!

I have to say that you are SO beautiful, with or without the weight. However, in the last pictures your beauty really shines through,k and I think it has something to do with confidence! You look amazing and there is DEF a difference. Keep going! We should be friends, I am trying to loose around 70 lbs (hopefully) within…

Wow great job! You look amazingly toned. I might have to try that!

I lived in St.Louis and was in high school. I was 15. Iremember my teacher looking at the boys in our class and saying "Some of you will go to war because of this." Sadly, one of the boys in that class was hit by an IED in Afghanistan four years ago. He was a good friend of mine and an army ranger. My (now) husband had…

Thanks for the feedback guys! I have been alternating workouts. I do kickboxing 3x a week (local gym), elliptical 2x a week, sometimes running/walking, hiking on weekends, and try to get in the 30 day shred when I am short on time. I guess I am overdoing it. I love working out though! I had foot problems in the past so I…

Hey! I added everyone and feel free to add me as well! I love the support I get from my pals on here! Together we can do this!

You look great! I can def see a difference in your face and stomach! I hope I get results like that. I worked out twice last week but I also did the butt bible and I think I took it too far, I was SUPER sore! So I am jumping back in tomorrow with just the 30 day shred. I hope I can share some awesome pics soon too!

You can def tell the difference! You look great, keep up the good work man!

I think that partying has a lot to do with why I gained weight. I am trying to stop that now, but it's hard when all my friends do is drink on weekends. I'm trying to go without drinking now for a while, and see if it makes a difference in my waistline, which I am sure it will without all those extra empty calories.

I'm in.. I need an excuse to work out :)

I am in as well! Wow you got a lot of responses. In December I hope people post some before and after pics! That would be awesome!

I was on a 1200 calorie diet for about two weeks, and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Somehow I fell off the band wagon and stopped counting calories, but I have still been attempting not to eat too much. I am still considering staying in the 1200-1400 calorie range. Let me know if you want a partner! I have…

I am so sorry you had to go through that. I have had a similar experience with my own family. My mother is morbidly obese, and her health is not so great. She has high blood pressure, and pre-diabetes. I love her and I have tried to encourage her to lose weight but she refuses, I try not to pressure her but just last week…

Awesome job! I love this site and I am so glad I found it! You look amazing, btw!

That is amazing! Great job!

For our bachelor/bachelorette parties my husband and I had an agreement: We wouldn't like the idea of another person waving their goods around our fiance's face, therefore we won't go ourselves. I absolutely HATE the idea of my man getting a lap dance, I would flip. Him watching a girl on a pole, well you see worse than…

I am the same way with exercise- I love it, and sometimes I push myself too far. I ended up hurting myself this time because I didn't realize that my weight held me back so much when I feel that I have energy. I got something called Morton's Neuroma on my foot- which hurts like crazy. It set me back a lot. But I also have…

Wow! So you have lost all that weight in a few months! That is awesome!

I am so sorry someone said that! What a jerk! Like it's any of his business. People say things like that to feel better about themselves- he probably forgot the comment long ago, but things like that stick with you. One time when I was jogging at 17 with my sister a car full of guys drove by, leaned out the window, and…

That is so mean! I don't understand why girls feel the need to constantly insult each other. I hate when women make comments like that. At least you can lose weight- they will always be shallow.

I came back to my old job to help out over the summer (college student) and a woman came in and asked me when I had my baby. I told her I never had a baby, that I was gone for school. Then she replied "Oh, because you gained so much weight. I thought you were pregnant." I replied "thanks for letting me know" (Like I didn't…

I am about the same size as you! I'll send you a friend request. Hopefully we can motivate each other!

I am in the same boat too! I began my weight loss with jogging, pushed myself too hard, and I ended up getting Morton's Neuroma in my foot (currently being treated with cortisone injections and orthopedics- it HURTS). I just started the 30 day shred as well. What I am doing is squats or just marching in place when she is…

Thanks! I know a lot of other students I talk to have gained weight as well! The worst part for me was talking my pre-reqs throughout the year. I took A&P 1 and 2 in an accelerated summer course, and the stress was unbearable! So I turned to food for comfort! And then I ballooned almost 25 pounds in three months! I am…

I wish I had found this place earlier! Welcome back and I sent a friend request as well. Hopefully we can support ourselves through this journey.

I did quit smoking- but it was years ago. I am about to cut down drinking to one night a week- which will be a bit of a change for me. It's hard because I have a lot of trouble sleeping, which is why I usually drink. I know it's hard to quit smoking without ruining your diet- when I quit I gained about ten pounds. It's…

That is awesome! I bet that felt great! Keep up the good work- you are motivation for me!
