WOOHOO!! I'm happy to share this day!

Only tip I have is to keep pushing on when you think it's not working!! It's coming off a lot slower then I thought it would but I had to just sit back and accept that something is better then nothing.

Seriously? Two pounds is changing SO much? Our body's fluctuate daily, a couple of pounds up or down is normal.

Well I don't have any tips but I can relate! I HATE MY ARMS! I used to live in tank tops in the summer and now I won't even wear them out of the house, I feel like no matter how much I lose(I've lost a lot of weight before) they didn't get much smaller :-( If you find the secret let me know because I want Madonna arms at…

My new favorite snack is 2 laughing cow light cheeses and some whole grain crackers, whole snack is 100 calories. Much better for me then the 100 calorie packs I started out eating and much more filling!

Your right I just have to keep thinking that what I'm going to remember is how I looked in my wedding dress, not how great the food was at my shower!

Do what I did, last time my fiancée brought home croissants I bust into tears and ran out of the room! I truly don’t' think he ever got how hard it was for me until that moment, he's never done it again!

It's one of the huge reasons I want to get fit! I'm getting married in July and we want to start trying to have a baby right away. We tried for a few months around the holidays and I'm pretty convinced my weight is why it didn't happen for us(yes I know 3 months isn't long to try) so I want to get as much of this weight…

I'm a July bride!! I just got engaged at the end of January :-) I want to lose 60lbs before the big day

Thanks!!

Definitly do your research but I had no problems with energy and the nutrients from the juice are enough for a couple of days. I read a lot about juice fasting before I did it though and I would suggest you do the same! We eat way more then we need to these days and our body actually benefits from taking a break from it…

I drink juice and water and peppermint tea for two days, I have IBS and I find sometimes it's the only way to get things going. The first day is rough but by the second day I feel really good! I wouldn't suggest doing it for more then two days and I definitely wouldn't suggest trying to fast without the juice(you do need…

MY suggestion is not to use any store bought product, it's a waste of money. Try a juice fast for a couple of days,it always works for me, just make sure you use actual fruit juice (like the ones in the fruit aisle that are pureed fruit not proceed crap, or use a juicer and make your own). I lost 6lbs in 2 days and cleaned…

I did atkins for a few weeks once and it made my stomach hurt so bad I had to stop, I find men do really well on it but women not so much.

Even at my skinniest(142lbs) I was still a 38DDD no matter how much I lost it was still there, sorry to say it doesn't always go from there! I had a reduction from a 40H down to a 40 DD, best thing I have EVER done!

Don’t get me wrong I have been 150lbs before, that's kind of why I know I can't get there again, it wasn't healthy for me. I was on Dr. Bernstein’s and literally passing out because I was so malnourished, I want to be thin but I don't want to ever be in that situation again!

WOW Thank you so much everyone for the support! I'm sitting here almost in tears reading all of it :-)

I have really bad insomnia as well, try taking melitonin. On a good night I get 6.5 hours and on a bad night about 2 hours. But fridays is my day to make it all up(I'm off work then) and I get around 9 or 10 hours, it helps me gt throught the rest o f the week knowing I'll get a good nights sleep at lest one night!

My muffin top, I can wear all my jeans again with out wearing a sweater to cover the rolls! I'm hoping the next 10lbs will get me downa size(shows you I was really pushing the limits of my jeans if it takes 30lbs to get out of them to the next size!)

Can I ask where that measurement comes from, why you use it?

I pre plan, I enter my calrories the day before or the morning of, that way I can make sure everything I want to eat fits into my calories for the day. I usually leave a hundreed or two incase I get the urge for a snack I wasn't counting on or incase I want a littel extra of somethign throughout the day.

Some people might not agree but what I find really helps me when I'm stuck is a juice fast, gives your body a bit of a break for a couple days and cleans out your system. I had gained back 4lbs(mostly water I'm sure) and I lost it and 2 more lbs on a 2 day juice fast. You just have to make sure it's not processed juice,…

Thanks, I'll have to try that! That's one of the things I love most about this place, I'm getting so many little hints I wouldn't have if I was going it on my own! I have IBS so I have a constant sturggle with BM issues, it's all or nothing for me :-(

I eat dinner every night after 8pm and I'm still losing! Do I think it would be better to eat earlier? Probably, but my schedule is what it is so I’m not going to fret too much over it

Thanks for the support, I'm just such an all or nothing sort of person that to do this without going all out is REALLY hard for me!

Why not try working out at home while he's naping? There are some great cheap workout DVD's you could try like the 30 day Shred, biggest loser last chance workout, that way your getting your workout in earlier in the day and you might be able to fall asleep earlier!

I always felt like I was bigger then everyone else in high school but looking back at pictures I really wasn't. I'd say I started to gain once I was about 18 - 19 and going to the bars every night (and for fast food after!). Since then I've lost and gained 60 -80 lbs at lest 7 times. I can lose no problem when I put my…

Personally I just feel better after ground turkey then I do ground beef. It tastes lighter and lately after I eat beef I get a tummy ache.

I went shopping for a dress yesterday and was dreading it, I ended up having to send the girlt that work there back to get me smaller sizes in everythign I tried on! I found a dress I loved(for my wedding shower) and when I got home my finace commented on how happy I looked :-)

I found it at Winners, I also found two others Ioved at Penningtons, so much so I think I'm going to back and buy one of them just because!
