  • yep...been on this med for only a couple months and up 5lbs...i work out religiously and am getting fatter by the day. I cant possibly continue taking this med - going off all meds completely to see what happens. I have been on anti depressants for about 14 years....tired of getting fatter while working out and watching my…

  • I totally see the difference!! great work and keep it up. I did 7 weeks of Insanity and it was super hard but i lost 13`overall....I still am not where i want so now i am moving on to T25. I just finished day 3 and cant believe how hard 25 minutes is!! Its crazy. Thanks for sharing your results, you look great and have…
  • Hey there, Stick with it...it will happen! I am beginning the 2nd wweek of the 2nd month (week 7 of 9)...I have not lost a single lb and definitely can lose about 8-10lbs. HOWEVER, i have lost 10.6 inches all over my body and expect more. I am watching my diet, increased the protein and am way under my caloric amount per…
  • you look spectacular...I am in awe of the drastic change. Congratulations for taking control of your life and your body.
  • Wow absolutely spectacular...you should be so very proud of yourself. GREAT WORK
  • Thanks everyone for your comments. I wrote this more as a reminder to myself than for any other reason. I too am a victim of the instant weight loss. I want to lose that weight over night but at 43 years of age and a lifetime of yoyo dieting I should know better...sure i get to feel skinny for a month or more but it always…
  • :flowerforyou: Fantastic work!!! It is a great accomplishment!!
  • Hello My friend!! First of all...congratulations to you for making yourself accountable. The change is a big one and it really has to come from the very core of you. You really have to look at why you eat? Have you ever written down what you are feeling before, during and after over-eating, or making bad choices? Get…
  • IM PROBABLY TOO LATE BLUE ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • ABSOLUTELY; SQUATS - multiple muscle groups and these are large muscles they will burn the most amount of calories HOW TO DO IT; Stand with your hands behind your head, your chest out, and your elbows back. Sit back at your hips and bend your knees to lower your body as far as possible without losing the natural arch of…
  • absoutely agree...I am a long distance runner that trains up to 6 days a week and log 45-55 miles per week when i am in full training and when i am not training i still log about 30-40 miles a week....I CANNOT EAT WHATEVER I WANT. I can stop running and watch my diet THEN and only then do i really see weight loss. I…
  • CONGRATS TO ALL OF YOU!! Its funny how when i was training people they wouldnt log their butter, ketchup, SALAD DRESSING...lol. As Brittney8 said...its not to impress anyone, we only cheat ourselves when we dont count everything. I wish they made diet ketchup though cuz i love it!!!!
  • I usually am under, some days 200-300 calories. I wonder though...does everyone log EVERYTHING...and when i say EVERYTHING, i mean the butter you put on your bread, mayonaisse, ketchup, cream in your coffee. I used to be a personal trainer and work with clients that would present to me their weekly food journal but some of…
  • mine ranges anywhere from about 52-58...marathon runner.
  • AMEN!!! They love at how many die...but here are the facts A study on London Marathon runners over a 20 year period, in fact, found that with a rate of death of 1 in 67,414 (representing 1 in 2,000,000 miles run) marathon running was no more dangerous than many other daily activities. According to the American College of…
  • set yourself small goals and stick to it...we all work better if someone pushes us. You have to do this for you and know how grreat you are going to feel logging your food and exercise as well as seeing the lbs come off. Cut out pictures of people you admire, athletes or old photos of yourself...put them on your fridge.…
  • THATS EXACTLY HOW I STARTED!! Be proud of yourself...I too started running a couple of minutes at a time...now 8 years later I run marathons...GO FOR IT GIRL!!!
  • :bigsmile: most of us have been there...overweight...and no matter the number on the scale that you want to lose its always a tough change. There is alot of emotional stuff that is tied to weight gain and the inability to lose it. Add lots of friends, see everyones posts, log EVERY SINGLE THING YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH!!!…
  • Fear not my friend...this is quite normal. One way that your body makes sure it doesn't overheat is by sweating, of course, but your body also increases blood circulation to the skin's surfaces, so the heat can be radiated off (smart bod). Warm, oxygenated blood rushes to your face, turning it that bright red color. It's…
  • OH MY GOD!!! you are a true inspiration for so many others...this is a testament to real will power, dedication and desire. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
  • I bought a great food scale for 20 bux...its all you need to measure your ounces and grams, i love it and highly recommend it. I use mine quite a bit for meat and veggies...
  • I completely agree...I am doing the insanity dvd's right now and he truly is the antichrist...i nearly vomit after and during each workout...BUT i am burning in excess of 600 calories in 40 minutes...a price i am willing to pay!!!
  • Ladies, the worst thing you can do is obsess with the scale...I know, we all have done it. It is EVIL!! If you must weigh yourself only do it once a week, preferably thursday because if you have eaten any junk at all or had any alcohol on the weekend you need that time for the body to flush out the extra sodium being held…
  • Great article...sooo true, I know a few of my friends that cant understand why the are perpetually injured...but the marathon takes time to build to and diving in without getting in the mileage is a disaster for injury. I know as the first marathon I ran i only trained for about 8 weeks...not enough time and ended up with…
  • Hey folks... Winter running is par for the course if you live in Ontario!! I trained for the Boston marathon in the icy months of January and February often running in temperatures as low as -30 (-22 farenheit)!! You do get used to it but there are a couple key components! 1. DO NOT wear cotton based clothing. Opt for the…
