Start with one small goal at a time. For me it was no fast food. After about 2-4 weeks (once it is a habit for you) add a second mini goal. Mine was no more soda/drinking water. Again, after you got that in the bag, add in one more thing. Like adding a veggie to dinner or cutting out your morning cream with coffee,…

5k every second day! Way to go girlie that is awesome. I find for myself that when I run a lot I need to eat a ton more healthy food. Maybe your weight loss is slowing down because of lack of calories? Once I changed from 1200 per day to 1500 per day I started losing again. Just a thought. :flowerforyou:

Hello everyone, Still so busy at work that I'm coming in early, not taking my lunch, and staying late to finish things up! Crazy but do love my job. I'm wondering if the super busyness and not taking time to eat is the real reason I am losing weight. I really don't want to be unhealthy so I am making myself a "Out to…

Was so busy in August that I wasn't on much, but I think September will be a slower work month for me. I hope! Today I am 149! I will be very happy if I never see 150 again. :bigsmile: How are you all doing? Weigh in 9/2/11: 149 9/9/11: 9/16/11: 9/23/11 9/30/11:

I have an IUD and I really like it. Sounds like you got some good info to think on, and congrats about getting the extra night off for you time!

Hello everyone! The talk with my ex went well. I was a bit disappointed that he doesn't want to take the kids more, he said he will call me to schedule visits "when he can" instead of having a set every other weekend kind of thing but whatever, I think he will start missing them once he sees how much he is missing and how…

Yard work this weekend kept me busy! I have a good feeling about this weeks weigh in, not much time this week to do much other than log my food and PA but I think I'll slow down in a week or two and be back to cheering you all on! Have a happy Tuesday! BTW, I'm meeting with my ex tonight to talk about "school and other…

Thank you Terri! :flowerforyou:

dmgaloha- Thank you very much. I feel the support through the internet lines! I feel fine with "having it all out there" haha we all have our ups and downs and I truly feel like this was the best option for me. It is still hard, but surly for the best. I feel empowered to be a better mother, daughter, friend and embrace…

Oh no, don't be traumatized! I'm not surprised that you had no idea, I never said anything because I knew it would come up at some point. I moved on July 15th, so almost a month. Getting the ring wasn't really what made me realize, but more that I have been working very hard to make things work and he acts like he could…

Thanks for the ego boost! You should be patting yourself on the back! 3 miles took me a long time to get up to and your be able to do 7 soon enough. As for the wedding... :cry: I called it off. I left him and moved back in with my mom. It has been reallllllly hard but I feel like it is for the best. Some of the long timers…

Hello everyone, So I know I told you all yesterday that if the scale was still up today I would change my ticker, but I lied. I'm up another 1/2 lb but I reallllly think it is due to my exercise. I had a little jog yesterday morning, did my 7 mile walk, then swam for 30 minutes after that and I am still sore from my yard…

Hello everyone, Last week was busy busy busy and I'm just now catching up with posts! Friday (my weigh in day) I was down to 154.5 but today I am up a bit again. I worked very hard for 5 hours in the yard yesterday and I think the gain might have just been extra fluid in my body due to all that work. Could also be the 2…

I'm 5'3" and I am aiming for 130ish. I got down to 143 before and felt great but I did have a few little spots to tone up so I think 130 would be a good goal for my body.

Great job Joe, your a weigh loss super star!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to check in, been hard for me to get in exercise this week because daycare is closed and I have taking the kiddos into work with me. They have been very good for me while I am working but having them in toe means I can't go for my 7 mile walk/jog in the afternoons. Arg! So I've been taking the kids…

I really like it. Put some into a smoothie last night with some protein powder and a banana and it was very tasty. It comes as a powder so once you get past that I have found it nice to use with many things. Hope this helps. :flowerforyou:

I think I remember you saying something about them getting a keg on your birthday last year! :laugh:

July 1st: 163 July 8th: 162 July 15th:160 July 21st: 158 July 29th: 155 OMG I bet I could fly if I tried to today! So happy, I have been working really really hard and I am stoked that I am losing this fast. I have been walking/jogging 7 miles a day and it is so paying off. I gotta run but I will read the other posts later…

I did a body wrap at a spa (not long term results for weight loss) and I lost over a full cup size in two hours! I know that it is hard to believe but when I gained back the lost inches a while after the wrap the bust never came back. I told the lady to concentrate on my bust and she did, but I was very pleased with the…

Yay, congrats!

July 1st: 163 July 8th: 162 July 15th:160 July 21st: 158 Yay, I lost two pounds this week, but even better was that the other day when I measured I had lost a total of 6 inches! So happy to be back in the 150's!

If I eat 1200 calories and do my normal workout my day would look like this...1200-950=250 left to fuel my body ALL day. After a while doing this everyday, because I don't have a huge amount to lose, my body will start to freak and think I don't have enough food. The point is to get at least 1200 to fuel your body to walk…

I have to smell donuts at work, I get it ha ha and I'm proud of you! How is Power 90? I'm a little gun shy about P90X, maybe this is my answer...

We are side by side girl! So happy we are doing this together :heart:

I would also like to add that for me 1200 calories made me binge like a crazy person every other week or so. I would be telling myself to stop eating but really couldn't control myself. I would do great during the week staying with 1200 but late nights or weekends I would gain back the few I lost during the week but…

Yes, that is one of the first places I gain and lose weight. My 34 didn't change, only the DD to a D but I'm not unhappy about the smaller girls at all!

July 1st: 163 July 8th: 162 July 15th:160 I am super excited about next weeks weigh in because I will measure and see what the months progress has been as far as inches lost. I feel like I am fully back in the game now, and I have been eating better and working out as much as I can with my crazy schedule. Congrats to all…

ladybird3618- Your awesome, just saying! :laugh:

I think the colored dots is a very sweet idea. Makes it personal to you and your children. BTW, It hurts! Just saying
