I took it for about 9 months. I was always tired, and it seems like I was constantly getting sick and having stomach issues. I stopped back in March.

Thanks yall! I do have an Academy near me but I didn't realize they had plus size things in store. I'll definitely check out SparkleSkirts cause the name itself makes me smile. LOL

Thanks yall! I ended up ordering a one piece from swimsuits for all with a terry robe for until I get to the pool. Yall were so helpful. Now, to figure out what is best to do in the pool..besides laps, im sure that gets boring. lol

Thanks everyone! I'm looking at the aqua shape. Definitely going to adding shorts with it.

LOL! My arms recovered yesterday but my thighs are still terrible but definitely not like they were. I'm gonna have to introduce my body slowly to squats. :-D see, i thought the hot tub would help! My hubby pretty much made me get in there because of how bad it was.

Yup, mine started shaking once I got up. I'm trying to stretch a little too. I'm just sore when I'm up and walking but damn when it goes to sitting or getting up. Man its a killer!

Thanks everyone. I think I'm gonna try and just walk it out instead of going hard today. I know I just jumped into the class and didn't warm up myself. The classes warm up consisted of squats with weights already. Lol I'm hoping I didn't pull something but I won't rule it out.

It was pretty discouraging. Maybe I should limit my scale use to once every two weeks for now. :-D

thanks for yalls response! I've been putting everything in my logs for sure. I had 2 pounds come off this morning! So, it's a start. That's with eating chinese last night too. (I know, terrible sodium, but dangit I wanted some!) I'm hanging on. I'll be hitting a month of consistent working out and tracking on the 10th.…

I hate seeing *kitten* cheeks hanging out from tiny shorts. But that's everywhere..not just the gym. Addressing the issue with "this is what discourages people from going to the gym"..just my 2 cents.. I wore workout leggings for the first time yesterday. I've never in my life worn them but they were comfy as hell. I'm at…

The only thing I do is say "dang, I wish i looked like that!"... If I drank before going to the gym it would be so much easier than putting my big girl panties on and dealing with it! So, Mr. Colors fade nailed it on the head with the comic. LOL

Thanks for the responses. I like the "you're not that important" idea. Because I KNOW people could careless about what I'm doing. It's a completely irrational thing. I'm definitely going! I'll probably just keep repeating in my head "They don't care about you" until I just don't have a need to anymore.

I feel like my marriage may do the opposite. If we both actually lost weight, I think things would be great! But, he refuses to give up Dr. Pepper. Flat out refuses. I try to make healthy decisions but if I throw out picking dinner up he doesn't stop me. I feel like we're both in the beginning phases of weight loss though.…

I'm a lapband patient. I've had for 6 years and I wasn't successful at all. I'm looking into revising for a sleeve. I've had quite a few friends be super successful with this. Hoping my insurance helps me out with this...

Thanks everyone! I like all the suggestions! I think I'm gonna stick with the shakes in the morning (With fruit and veggies added! like some suggested) and I'll prep some for lunch. It's not just for me though, its for hubby and myself. Salads are easy for me, him not so much... Now I need to order more rubbermaid…

I would too. Scared its just gonna hang there when i lose

"People don't kill people, guns kill people!" My response - "So the gun pulled it's own trigger??" "No someone pulled it, but the gun is what killed him" Me- wooow.

This kinda stuff is what makes me scared to join a gym, and consistently go. I'm not a gym newbie, but the gym I'd be going to...I would be. All those judging eyes is what makes me hate going.

Well I'm the idiot... I thought you were supposed to go heel to toe. Thankfully I havent gotten any shin splints.. I bought a pair of new balance shoes that really helped my stride, and since I've bought them my shins haven't hurt. *Takes note...."focus on not landing on your heel tonight"*

bumping this until I can write it down!

body oil

Looove this!

I'd love this secret too. I think you just have to make it a goal. Im not gonna eat fast food for a week, and then when the weeks over make it a goal for the week after as well. Just have to take strides is what I keep telling myself. :D

I have a blender bottle, but I want something for smoothies too. And hurley, Im really looking for that one! I have some gifts from bed bath and beyond though that need to be taken back but, alas, none of my stores have any myblends. :(

This! Congratulations!

Love this thread! I play tons, but sometimes I dont play for a couple days.. Currently playing: MW3, Black Ops (Mostly Zombies), Dance Central 2, and Madden NFL 13 Plan on playing again soon: Skyrim, Alice: Madness Returns, Black Ops 2 and Dance Central 3 (When they come out!) I have a PS3, but I've only played Uncharted…

THIS!

I love cheese. I eat it everyday, and I dont plan on stopping. I agree with a previous poster.. "If it's bad, I dont want to be good". LOL It hasnt affected my weight loss. Oh, and I know when too much cheese..is too much cheese and I avoid it. It's all about portion control.

I have way too many. I have never gotten the pregnant one though. I was actually kind of angry at myself when I was ACTUALLY pregnant, and I didnt have a belly the entire time (though I had my son at 7 months). Looking back at all of my old pictures and seeing myself smiling, but I knew I was miserable. I hate pictures,…
