AMAZING!!!! You look terrific and I'm sure you're feeling pretty terrific too!

I wish I could have that experience but, there are no other "fat" people in my family. I'm the biggest so I guess you could say I'm trying to work my way into the skinny people club!

Amber, Thank you so much that was very sweet! You are very valued as well! I look forward to seeing your posts every day. I couldn't have made a better friend to help me along this journey!

Awesome Thread, Amber!!!! I have been with my husband for nine years and married for 7 of them. We have no children together at the moment but, are hoping that we will be blessed by the end of this year. He has three from a previous marriage. My husband is supportive of my weight loss and just the other day told me how…

I eat six small meals a day and I drink a glass of water with at least four of my meals. 1 glass for me equals two cups of water. I also drink a glass after exercising. I usually drink Tea or a Diet soda with my dinner and I rarely drink anything with my evening snack unless it's crackers or something then I hit the water…

You look fabulous! I'm so happy for you!!!

Thanks!

Yes it is, and I am very happy. Thank you.

@Massivedelta - Great picture! You're making wonderful progress!

I'm walking and dancing for my workout but, no actual weight lifting. That's on my to do list though. Nothing major just enough to tone up.

I haven't noticed anything like but, then I've only lost 5 lbs. You couldn't be pregnant, could you?

It's from Look Who's Talking Now. I love that trilogy!

Ok look, not that it's any of your business but, I was "diagnosed" by a stupid clinic doctor who refuses to acknowledge PCOS as a legitimate medical condition. PCOS can cause all of the medical conditions on my list. It can also mess your numbers up enough to make it look like you have something that you don't. She also…

I was unaware that there were two different thyroid conditions. I looked it up and I have HypOthyroidism. I also looked at my blood work report and I'm only a couple of tenths off normal. I appreciate that you have this condition and yes probably know more about it than I do as I've only gotten this diagnosis within the…

I don't want to be a buzz kill but, I am not doing anything differently. We'll probably go to my Mom's house for thanksgiving and I intend to gorge myself until my husband has to roll me to the car! But, to make sure I don't gain I'll probably exercise like crazy the week before and the week after. It will probably be the…

Ok, a person who feels it necessary to question someone having one single cookie once in a while, has issues of their own and I would probably unfriend them for that reason. Now, if you ate a single cookie, multiple times a day then yes, your friends should point it out to you. There again, if you are uncomfortable with…

My weight loss goal is 1 lb per week because that is what is recommended as healthy and more likely it will be permanent. It didn't take me six months to put this weight on and so, I'm not going to try to take it off in six months. I would say I have a high activity level but, I am a lot more active than I used to be.

In reference to the posters who are against "critiquing" someone else's food diary. If you read my previous post then you know that I think it is helpful for people to offer suggestions or hold us accountable for the choices we make. I think it will help us to stick to our goals. For those who don't want others…

I found this on Living Strong .com. "Net Calories During the day, the amount of caloric energy in your body is in a state of constant flux. When you consume calories, your net calories number goes up, and as you burn them, the number goes down. At the end of the day, there are three possible scenarios: you burned fewer…

That really doesn't make any sense to me. I'm going to do some research.

I think it's the wording that confuses a lot of people. "You've earned x amount of calories today from exercise". That is a confusing statement but, the thing is in order to lose weight you have to burn more calories than you take in. That is something else that confuses people. I've seen people freak out about it because,…

The way I understand it is you base your caloric intake with the calorie goal before exercise. So, if your daily calorie goal is 1840 then that is the number of calories you should eat on a daily basis. You are not supposed to eat the calories you burn unless you are aiming to maintain your weight.

I don't always get a chance to comment but, I do try to look at their diaries for two reasons. If I look at a friends diary and see that they are starving themselves, I'll want to say something to them to encourage better eating. If I see that they are eating a lot of crap, again I'll want to point that out to them so that…

Thanks!

Thanks for the tips I will keep them in mind each time I attempt this video. I won't give up. I am a perfectionist and I can't stand being told I can't do something. I'll keep at it until I have mastered it and then I'll buy another one LOL!

Thanks. I will consider it a huge victory when I can get through the whole thing without skipping a move.

Congratulations!!! You look incredible!!!

Vegetables and fruits are a big problem for me. I only like broccoli and green beans on the vegetable side and apples, oranges and pineapples on the fruit side. I have tried lots of others in the past and have yet to find any to add to my diet. I'm not exactly financially able to "experiment" or "play" with the flavors.…

HI! Those burgers are really, really yummy but, bad, bad, bad for the diet. However, turkey burgers aren't bad. You can add me if you want, I will offer support to anyone who needs it. I don't drink though.
