Prizepopple: Neither have I, ever. I am hoping to, one day. I am glad im not alone in feeling this way. I felt it all through my 20s, 30s and now sadly, maybe my 40s.

Salembambi: Good for you at your age for losing it. I WISH I did when I was at your age. I can only hope I didnt shave off too many years waiting this long to lose :( I will be with ya, loose skin and all.

EvgeniZyntx: You say it spot on- I am drinking the poisons of regret. I need to get rid of the what have beens... Not sure why I am so focused? I thought it was you dont miss what you never had. I LOVE your last line, that you are making sure tomorrow you regret today less. I need to start thinking that way. Dragn77: :)…

I have to reply to everyone, so no one feels left out :) Yes, I am a nut. And probably by the time I go through all the posts and post this, there will be a whole slew of new posts! Roanokejoe: I know you mean well, and agree, bad thoughts need to be banished. Colleenzlife: Thank you girl, I shall hang in there! Randomtai:…

Thank you all for the kind words, and harsh ones- The latter did singe a bit, but the warm ones smoothed them over. I get what you all are saying, or at least will. Will read over these posts a few times. I do want you all to know I meant no disrespect to all those who put their minds to it and did it. I am not sure what…

Thank you for the feedback, roanokejoe. I agree with you about getting negative thoughts out of my mind. I was, however, being serious in my post, as silly as it may have sounded.

Wonderful TeaBag! Will definitely have to check it out and see what I can borrow. Does anyone have any suggestions on how often to have a rest day when doing the 30 day shred? Do most people just do it everyday?

I'd love to participate. I am new here though- so what does this entail? Do we form a group, or just friend people and keep this as a personal goal, or?? Thank you in advance for this newbie in the corner!

Thrld: Wow, I didn't know there was supposed to be a rest day! My dvd just came in the plastic box, no instructions. Somehow I must have missed them. So, if 42 days to complete, sounds like do it for 3 days then 1 rest day? Love your suggestions on saving the legs, going to give all of those a try! kmpeters: Thanks, going…

Newretiree: Nice, I will definitely heck those out! And, maybe my family video has them! RCottonRPh: I appreciate all of your thoughts! I think thought being specific is what helps me. The "just do anything" is what I am trying to figure out- as I need structure. If I wake up in the morning and tell myself to so anything,…

Thank you VegCoffee! I will have to look for those DVDs! I definitely added you!! Fun, active friends are definite must- have!

I think 2 words sum it up: "my ex." Sounds like he has bad mojo running in his veins and is trying to get to you. Like everyone else said, you somehow have to learn to not let it bother you. I mean, really, tell yourself so what? I'd rather have a body that I am working on to improve than a personality stuck in the 2nd…

Wow, that is so incredible! You have REALLY motivated me even more!

I started it yesterday. I do not hold any hopes of seeing a difference, since I have 150 lbs to lose. So I am aiming for seeing results in about 4-6 mos. But, I did take photos anyway! I would love to see others' photos as well. It will give me motivation to stick to it!!

Really? You can't gain muscle and lose fat? I was hoping if I did strength training it would help me lose more fat. I will have to keep rereading... I am so confuzzled!

I LOVE almond milk. When I want a treat, I mix the 30 cal one with the chocolate one. It does not taste diluted and it is so yum!

Wow that is so amazing!! I am like you, in that I started the nutritional part. I finally did my first 15 mins of exercise today. It will eventually come (and hopefully stay).

Thank you so much for all the replies!! Wow :) Yep- I am going to like it here. I noticed by clicking on a few profiles, people have statuses. Can anyone direct me to the rundown on how this works? Like, is there a way to see all statuses of your friends at once or do you need to click on each? etc. Just ordered a…
