you look awesome and love that fact your spouse was on board with you, also love the photo of you wearing your old pants :)

wow that is in amazing transformation.... you deserve all the praise you been getting

do not know ? but 8 pounds is a lot to lose in a week 1/2 hopefully it's fat and not muscle :)

Welcome to the mfp support group ! and good luck on your new journey.

I am like you a lot but, I read a post on here once called motivation jars This girl took to jars decorated them and one jar was pounds she wanted to lose and the other was pounds lost. So I decided to make jars of my own and it does seem to help Because every time a gain a pound back I have to place a rock back in the jar…

Welcome and good luck! I have also probably tried every diet on the planet (w. watchers, Atkins, cabbage soup ect. ) I have tried to stop doing all of them it just puts more weight back on once you stop doing them, now i am on mfp I am still a work in progress but I try and you will like the site. Feel free if you want to…

You look amazing You don't look mainly at all weights are not your enemy. keep up the good work.

Drink plenty of water, stay away from all soft drinks including diet soda, no sugar substitutes and take in less sodium (1,000 to 1,500 grams) your stomach will start to look flatter. That's what I try to do because the less water you retain the better. that's just my opinion and things I have read.

Hello, welcome to mfp I think you will enjoy this site and it helps you stay on track with the free food journal. Good Luck !!!

That would make sense to me considering you must lose all the weight around your waist in order for you to see any ab results I think it is either 2% to 5% fat around your waist. In a lot of cases it is harder for girls to develop a six pack and not every girl can obtain one. In theory our bodies were built to have bigger…

I absolutely love diet coke, use to having it every day its great. But 12 days ago I cut it out completely and only drink water and sometimes cranberry juice, but every day I go in the store I wanna buy one but I have managed to walk past it and I don't buy any for the house or I will break down and drink it. I read that…

I have took before not know but in less you plan on eating right and you must exercise while taking them or you will not see results. If you do decide to take them drink lots of water and start off with 2 pills at every meal to allow your body to adjust to all that caffeine. : )

I am only 5'1 and I look smaller up top and all my weight goes to my love handles and my thighs I have struggled with this most of my life but recently i have been going to this guys sight and i have lost ten pounds and my thighs have been shrinking slowly here the website if you wanna check it out (thigh shrinking videos)…

That's awesome great transformation you look good keep up the good work

you look awesome and you got great definition, eventually I want to have that too(good motivation) keep up the good work.

I am only 5'1 so I like a taller man the one I have now is 5'11 but it does not take much to meet someone who is taller then me.. lol but it is not a total deal breaker as long as he has a good personality.

you look awesome you can see a big difference, you should be proud.

I eat fruits and vegetables before every meal and my meals only consist of maybe 300 calories 4 times a day plus exercise

wow great job you look amazing.

yes I eat what I want, the rule of thumb is if you burn more then your taken in then you will lose weight. For now it is working for me and I am able to do 1200 calories and actually stick to it, in the past I have tried to eat healthy but in the end my body always craves the bad stuff and I end up quitting. So I say if it…

I am also doing that video on day 4 still can not make the whole hour.....she ruthless. My goal would be to do the whole hour

Life can be difficult sometimes, But I noticed as soon as I wake up I will exercise just to get it out the way and they I can go about my daily routine and I don't have to worry about squeezing in exercise during mid day or late afternoon. On the days I have to start work really early it is sometimes hard to exercise so…

That is my goal also to lose 10 pounds this month started June 1st and I am already down 2 pounds.....maybe we can help motivate each other.

That is a neat idea, think I might try it to keep me motivated. I use to put bigger pictures of me around the house but after a while those pictures seemed like they did not exist...lol so it was back to eating unhealthy and to much of it. So totally up for this new Idea of inspiration.

hi. Tina I just started yesterday and my biggest thing is I can stay on anything for a long period of time I definitely lack motivation, so I am there for you and maybe someone can help me in the process.

I am 5'1 and a little under 175 but would love to join this challenge.

Wow... u look amazing hold your head up high when your walking at the beach in that bikini....you earned every minute of it... : )

That is awsome keep up the good work I know you can do it.
