I'll take the challenge!! My goal is to get fit for Country Jam this summer and to turn a few heads while I'm at it!! :-)

I dont' know if anyone has said this but a quote I use to NOT grab that snack I want is "What you eat in private, you wear in public!".

You can do it! I know how you feel. I am 36 and I would like to lose 27lbs before the middle of July. I have been married for 12 years, have 3 kids 10, 9, and 4 and I'm a full time teacher. It can be hard when there's not a lot of time in your week. Maybe we can encourage each other along the way! Feel free to add me! Good…

Love it!!!!

I am so sorry for your wife's loss...and for yours. This happened to me last month. My dog was my first dog ever. I loved her like one of my children. She got very sick, wouldn't eat and couldn't control her bodily functions anymore. My husband told me we needed to put her down but I couldn't do it. I was searching for…

This is SO me! But thank you everyone...really. I think I will try and cut back first and see how that goes. My biggest holdback is that the water at my work is gross!! If that wasn't the case I would probably drink a lot more water! I do bring bottles of water with me, but when it's gone I'm left with vending machines!…

Sorry, I'm 5'1" and am currently weight 149. I use my ellipitcal. It doesn't have my measurements but I do a weight loss program on it so it changes my resistance during the work out.

125 and toned!

I lost 20lbs on weight watchers and then stopped. When I came on here I felt like I could do about the same kind of stuff for free. I love it it on here! If you log...you will succeed!! Good Luck!!

I do the same thing. There are two things that might help. One..plan your meals...everything and don't stray from it. Two...sometimes when our body is "hungry" it's really dehydrated. Drink a big glass of water before you eat. That usually will help fill you up. Good Luck with your weight loss and with your wedding! What…

We are all here for support when you need us! I do best with setting mini goals. I have little goals set for each month. I'm hoping that will keep my going even strong this year than last! Good Luck and Happy NEW year!! :-)

I have also been on a weight loss rollercoaster for a few years! I have three kids ages 10, 8, and 4 and a full time teaching job (45 minutes from my house). We barely have time for supper anymore as someone is always working , going to karate or what not. I have found success with this site! I wasn't a cheerleader but I…

I have the same bikini goal! I will friend request you!! We can do this!!

WW is a good program. I lost over 20lbs on it. It was very similiar to this website actually. It helps you make life style changes instead of dieting. You don't HAVE to go to the meetings because you can do it online...but to me that is just like what you see here, except they give you a little more guidance on what to…

First of all WELCOME and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!! I have been trying to lose weight for 3 years and I found my motivation when I set small goals. I have lost 27lbs and still have 25-30 to go. If you log in here and follow the plan...you WILL lose weight! You might gain if you start working out at first,…

Thank you everyone for the tips and kind words! Duh why didn't I think of swimming! All I have is a treadmill and that is how I hurt the knee...running on the treadmill. The doctor said it might actually have to do with an injury to my knee 20 years ago when I played tennis. I am so frustrated because I am just getting…

I am the same way! I do better when someone is there cheering me on! This site will help you! If you use it, you will lose it!!! It has taken me 3 years to lose 27lbs, but since I have started on here it has been easier to lose. I still need to lose like 30 more...my goal is to have it off by next summer! You can add me as…

I usually do 100 crunches a night if I can. But I have learned to mix it up between regular crunches and side crunches as it will get more muscle areas. Try 20 straight up, 20 right side, 20 left side and 20 up again....then you are already at 80. Then it's good to do leg lifts as that will get the lower muscles of the…

dlyeates-you knew me when I was 110 and my heightest weight was 178...after kid #3! I am only 5'1" and that is a lot of weight for that height! I am now down to 156 but still have a ways to go! We can do this together! This site is great and when you journal, it works! I also have a friend on here that we do a weight check…
