^ it's on TLC :happy: I no longer have a booty do either!

This is my second time at quitting, I started up again for six months, after quitting for 1 yr 8 mos, because I was SUPER stressed. I gained a LOT of weight the first time but did not have MFP and was not active at all. I'm on day 5 now and still going down and feel more aware of things this time. Just make sure you stay…

Try not wearing the flip flops and see if that helps after a week or so. I had something similar happen with my achilles because I like to wear flip flops, my Dr. suggested I not wear them because it causes us to use our feet muscles in an unnatural way and it helped. I would suggest that after a week you see no…

^^ This!!! I absolutely HATE bra shopping since I am an odd size. I have resigned myself to wearing multiple sports bras until I reach my goal weight to save myself the trouble of having to do it all over again when I am done. 10 pounds to go wOOt!

Walked for an hour even though I didn't want to. Stayed under my calorie goal. Took a nap because I was SUPER tired.

The Treadmill is 90% of my exercise and I have lost 30 pounds so far with 14 more to go. I walk at least 45 minutes a day 7 days a week. I'm not going to lie and say my journey has been easy and that I haven't had ups and downs, it's taken almost a year but I did it and will keep going. It is entirely possible and you CAN…

I AM DETERMINED! No matter how long it takes, how many road block I hit and how many times I stumble. I will keep going, climb over and get back up. I AM GOING TO REACH MY GOAL!

When I was outgrowing all of my Mom's hand me downs (that she outgrew) for the third time, realized I weighed more than I ever did while pregnant and went to a friends wedding and saw some pics taken of me that day looking like I was pregnant. I decided it was time to make some changes.

I honestly wasn't trying to give them a bad time, If I could have figured out how to delete my post I would have. Kudos to OP for trying to get moving and much success to whatever route they decide to take. I know how hard and difficult this road is to take and how hard it is to stay motivated along the way.

Hope you are getting a hell of a deal on that DVD! IMO it would be a waste of $$$. Walking is not hard... You stretch, walk desired amount of time/ distance and then stretch again. Sorry if this seems a little rude but I am just surprised that they even sell this kind of video :noway:

1 My happy weight would be around 130 2 17 pounds 3 About two years ago before I quit smoking 4 Never really thought about it 5 I am DETERMINED to get there, I WILL get there, just may take some time. I chose 130 because of my age so no adjustment necessary :wink: If I lose a little more I would be ok with it but it's not…

I usually walk on my treadmill and either listen to my iPod or watch a video on Netflix to keep my mind occupied.

I am not here for friends, I have Facebook for that, I am here for keeping MYSELF accountable. I log it ALL, would be lying to myself if I didn't. If I find friends/ support along the way great but for me it is not a necessity.

I have been on this journey since May, I have "messed up" many times along this road and have still managed to lose 22 pounds. You just have to pick yourself up and continue on. I can speak for everyone but if I don't allow myself cheat days I probably wouldn't have made it this far and look at my numbers for motivation. I…

I eat fruit, Greek Yogurt, and Quaker rice snacks (Chocolate Chunk and Caramel Corn) help to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Breads, pastas, sugars and sodas are my Achilles heel so I understand you. I have really had a hard time with the first two as I come from an Italian family and those are Italian "staples" but I have really tried watching my portion sizes and changed to healthier versions. The sugars I have limited to occasional treats,…

5'2" here, started at 174 and down to 156. Coming off slowly but surely and would be comfortable around 130ish. It is a lot of work but I feel so much better already!

^This! I had one of my kids try to grab a piece of something I just counted out (as she sat there and watched me), I actually yelled at her to get her own if she wants it but leave mine alone lol!

YES YES and YES it drives me NUTS! I have been trying to buy things for me as meals, snacks and as treats and it seems that everyone in my house enjoys them as well. I guess I shouldn't complain that the kids are eating the healthy stuff as opposed to junk but I then have to go out shopping again to get more because they…

I sooo feel your pain! I am one of the unlucky few who wear a 34 H, which an extremely hard to find bra size and forget about finding a sports bra that fits properly. I have limited myself to mostly walking and wouldn't even think about jogging or running at this point and most likely one of the highest reasons that I have…

^^ This is me, 1 year 5 months! I feel more like an ex-smoker than a non-smoker and while I still feel the urge when I get stressed, I don't give in. After I quit I still liked the smell and would stand next to people while they were smoking but now it's starting to stink and I don't feel the need to smell it anymore.

Lump me in with the others that never thought to check out Netflix. I'll have to go check out the selection and see if I can find anything worth trying. Thanks for the idea!

My Achilles heel is breads and pastas of most any kind and sweets: cookies, cakes and candy. Breads and pasta I am better at controlling portions but the sweets kill me every time.

I'm with you on this... would be nice to buy a bra again that didn't cost $50+ each :explode:
