Congrats! Best wishes for the future!!! :happy:

Good cholesterol, run a mile in 8 min, hormones in check, and a 34 inch waist.

I admit to using my phone during my exercise but that was to time what I was doing, such as lifting weight, using the elliptical or treadmill, but I've never just stood there doing stupid **** on it. That is a waste of time and rude when others want to use the equipment. :grumble:

Just ignore them or tell them you are just wanting to get as healthy as you can. Nothing wrong with that. If they have issues with that then it's their problem, not yours! :D congrats on the good work!

Originally I am from Michigan, but I am now located in Kentucky. I am not sure what path I follow, still learning.

19 lbs since April '12

Congratulations on your success! :happy: :bigsmile:

I too am trying to lose 200 lbs. Feel free to add me, this also goes to anyone else who see me. Always looking for friends to help support each other.!

I've heard that it's not as bad when it's with fiber and protein as long as you are using the fruit, whole, and not juice, like V8. When you have the protein and fiber with the sugar it doesn't spike it and crash as it would without them.

Feel free to add me as a friend, I invite that to anyone who sees this. I am on my journey to lose 200 lbs.

Boob job mostly cus I know I will loose fat in them and they will get saggy and I can't fix that really and its easier to shave... :laugh:

Mine is to get to 130 lbs. The last time remember weighing that was when I was 10 years old. I've always had a problem with my weight.

Wow! You are an inspiration! :D

Don't just rely on the weight lost. Take measurements. I've lost inches before and no weight. Also see what's becoming easier. Thats a good sign even if no weight was lost. When I went to the gym I started walking a mile in 32 min then a month later I was doing it in 16 min. Best of luck and don't be discouraged about the…
