I can't remember who it is by, but it's a hyped up version of "Set Fire To The Rain" by Adele. I got it when I went into the "fitness/workouts" genre of iTunes. It always makes me run a bit harder and faster.

C25K is awesome. I had never run before and the idea of running a mile was crazy to me. However, I started C25K and now I can run for 30 minutes straight. Now when you first start try not to get discouraged because it is NOT easy but it does get better. I could barely run a minute when I started. Seriously I would be…

I think counting calories really helps me. It helped me really see where all of my weight was coming from. There were times when I thought I was eating healthy (100 calorie packs etc) but I wasn't getting enough of the "good" calories, Like fruits and veggies etc. (Which I am still working on incorporating more into my…

Living in Boston right now :)

Feel free to add me :) I'm 27 and I got maried last year. Before my wedding, I was trying really hard to lose weight. I lost about 5-10 pounds but afterwards I packed on the pounds. I gained about 20 pounds in a year, I just stopped really caring what I looked like. Now I'm back to it, I am determined to get this weight…

Agree with the above. I know a lot of people that have had food stamps that are able to buy healthy foods. You also want to try and start walking at least a few times a week to just get some exercise. Maybe your husband will want to walk with you? Maybe explain to the whole family why you are doing what you are doing and…

Is it true that you should not take any tylenol or pain relievers for sore muscles? I once heard that and have never really known if it hurts muscle growth.

Skim milk at work and almond milk at home with a bit of sugar. I just can't transition to black, not yet anyway. Although, I can't have cream in my coffee either, to thick.

Your post is amazing! Congratulations to you! What a phenomenal job you have done. Really, YOU look amazing and are such an inspiration!

Definitely see your doctor, they will be able to tell you how much (if any) iron you should be taking. I have anemia and my iron has been so low that my dcotor has me taking 3 iron pills a day.

I have been where you are, with the Dew especially. I loved it, it was my favorite. I would wake up and have either a Mt. Dew or a Coke. Once I decided to start losing weight I realized how much I needed to cut back on soda. It used to be the ONLY thing I drank, I would only drink water if you held my mouth open and forced…

I had a week like this last week, and I was so down and depressed that I thought I'd never feel better about myself...but you know what? After a pep talk from a good friend and venting a bit in my blog I came to the realization that the reason I was feeling so down and depressed was because I wasn't moving! You cannot give…

I want to look and feel confident again in how I look for myself and my Husband. I want to be at a healthy weight (not overweight) when I decide to start having chidlren.

Hmm. It sounds like he's just trying to keep you around. You have dated for two years, yet he just now said he loves you?and wouldn't define a relationship with you? My husband doesn't express his feelings verbally often, but he often tells me he loves me. Also, I'd say that if he wants to get to know these other two women…

I've been using the excuse "we moved, so I haven't had time to watch what I eat or exercise" Now that i see it in print.. it doesn't make sense..does it? Maybe the exercising does, but not eating right. I say, start back at it today. Once you do you will have more energy and be motivated. Why wait a week until your Mother…

You are doing GREAT! I just creeped on your pics and you look beautiful. Don't let yourself get to discouraged, every day is a new day! Just keep eating right and exercise when you can :) good luck!

Congrats and great job! You are an inspiration, I definitely needed to see this today!

Hummus and triscuits! It's what I'm eating now and it's my favorite..actually..just about anything with Hummus!

I drink Shakeology by Beachbody and I really like it. I don't only do it to lose weight, but it helps me have energy throughout the day and I'm not totally dragging during the day like I used to be. For my breakfast I usually drink my tea with honey and lemon and then have my shake. I don't normally get hungry again until…

This is such a great thread. Thank you so much. Just for today: I will not let myself get down about how much I have to lose..but will be proud of what I have lost.

This is great! You are doing awesome!! :)

Thanks for the advice everyone! I try to get a good amount of sleep and usually have a salad with some chicken and beans in it to try and get a good amount of protein. I get up at 4:30 though to run, so I think that by 2PM my motor is starting to slow down a little bit. I got some more ice in my water and had a PBcup as my…

You look fantastic! Great job girl!

Hmmm you might need to eat more and drink a lot more water. For me I hated water so it was really hard to start drinking it., but I started drinking it with every meal and it helped me not only eat less but feel better. I used to get really dizzy and get the shakes a lot if I wasn't eating every few hours, that's really…

@Lifechanging: 10! I love your dress, you look great!

wow! That's incredible!! Great job!!

WOW! You look AMAZING! Great job, truly an inspiration!

:smile: Thank you for all the tips everyone, I really appreciate them! I am going to try and do a Jillian Michaels DVD tonight.

I'm new here too! I tried weight watchers and it wasn't for me, I have a lot of friends that were doing this so I decided to join. Welcome aboard! The accountability is always nice to have, I like it a lot because everyone sees what I eat so I can't go off and have chips and dip whenever I want! You can do this!! :smile:

Great job! I can definitely see the difference!! :)
