Congrats! Your hard work has paid off, and I find you especially inspiring, because I need to quit smoking, too.

Wait, I think you mean "sucking it in"? I try, but sometimes I catch myself unaware in a mirror, and I'm letting it all hang out. Lol. But actually, it is beneficial, bc you are keeping your abs engaged. In this really old book I have about getting a flat tummy, it says to tie a string around your waist, so that if you…

Oh no! Was it sick or something? I wonder what happened. I'm so sorry. That's awful.

When you smile instead of cringing when you pass a mirror, and instead of dreading trying on clothes, you get excited for it!

I wanted to put it in my sig, but couldn't figure out how...can you tell me?

Wow! Looking fabulous! Congrats.

Hahaha. That's a good "back-handed compliment" to get. My bf said my *kitten* of my jeans looked saggy the other day. No one wants a saggy butt, but buying new smaller jeans is priceless! He also said he doesn't want me to lose my big butt.:laugh:

Wow, what an inspiration! Great work!!! You look fantastic.

You look fantastic!!! Great job. you should be super-proud!

Yeah, it's one thing if you want to ruin your own life, but to do that to your daughter...what happens when she doesn't have a mother anymore? Not to mention the humiliation she will endure once she starts school. And I love that she wants a slim man. Ok, I'm sure a guy who works hard to stay fit is going to want to be…

WOW! Looking absolutely amazing! Congrats.

You look fantastic! Big difference. Enjoy that beach bod. :glasses:

Hahaha. Could use some humor this morning. Thanks!

I don't know what to do here, because I recently dealt with a similar situation with my sister and her kids. It was very hurtful. I didn't hear anything from her when I sent the baby a gift (we are not speaking and I figured it was just because the baby can't call me himself, although I thought she should have acknowledged…

Wow, what a difference! You look great. Very inspiring!

Very inspiring--you look fantastic!

Wow, you look fantastic! Congrats on your success!!!

Wow, you look fantastic! Great job and thanks for sharing!!!

I was a vegetarian for 10 years or so before going back to being a pescatarian (sp?). Anyway, I love the Morningstar sausage patties, tempeh, lightlife veggie ground beef, morningstar mock chicken strips, morningstar chik patties, and the list goes on! I just love most meat substitutes. Have to disagree with the Quorn…

Damn! That husband must be looking for a beatdown! Lol

Great thread!:happy: 1. That I am madly in love with my boyfriend. 2. That our pool is up and running, and we have finished fixing up our newly amazing yard and deck. 3. Tomorrow is Friday! 4. That a coworker has mentioned for 2 days in a row how slim and slender I look now!!! 5. That we are going to have a great weekend,…

Welcome! This has helped me so much, and if you stick with it, I'm sure it will do the same for you. Feel free to add me.

I hear what you're saying, but the fact is, although everyone would like to take something back that they've done, what good is it to regret? You can't take it back, so it is wasting precious time to sit and feel guilty about it. Now to totally contradict what I just said, I would regret not taking more risks in…

1. This cough I can't get rid of, which brings me to 2. Having to quit smoking soon 3. The girl at work (who also says she's trying to lose weight) always baking treats and bringing them in (my own fault for having a cookie, but come on). 4. My sister being a grudge-holding, angry person, and not being able to see my niece…

Try not to be so hard on yourself. You're staying on track and doing the right things, so you will get the results you want, even if it's slow progress. I have a big feeling that you are being your own worst critic about your arms. They didn't change since this morning, something about your outlook did! I bet you look…

That's awesome! Especially bc it came at such a good time when you needed it. :happy:

I am the queen of being uncoordinated, and I took a Zumba class last year (quit bc we moved to a different area). Admittedly, I was behind or off on many of the moves, but it was still so much fun and of course, an incredible burn. I say do it!

Hey ladies, Haven't checked in for a while. Still doing the burpees challenge? Either way, I'm in. I don't know why, but I can't seem to do these at all. It's on tonight, though!

Wow! Great job! You look fabulous!!!

Thank you for the beautiful post. It brought a smile to my heart! Have a wonderful day!:flowerforyou:
