Thank you I think that site is going to be a big help to me! :-)

Thanks for all your encouragement! I am gonna need the prayers :-)

I guess I am not completely opposed to walking some but I just think of a 5k as a run. But it does say on the registration 5k walk/run. I will test it out today and see how much of it I can run. Thanks for the help! :-) Great job on signing up for one! Make sure you tell us how it goes!!

I like that "run your race" I am going to get that in my head! :-) thank you! And great job by stepping out and trying something like a 5k! You did it no matter how fast or slow you did it! That is wonderful!

I started mine on Monday the 14th. I love it! The first couple days kicked my butt but day 4 and 5 I can already feel a difference!!! I stepped on the scale today and I am down 5.5lbs in 5 days!! I am also watching what I am eating but I know this is working for me. My muscles are not as sore today but monday I am adding…

Thanks everyone! I know I need to find my own way but reading other peoples advice is helpful. Those of you who are making the changes in your life I applaud you for your effort and motivation. I cannot wait to see the pounds fall off. I am going to take your advice and run with it. Thank you! I will post pictures of my…

You need to drink more. I have heard from "The Doctors" TV show that you can lose 150 calories by drinking water. Let that be an inspiration. Try giving yourself little goals. Say every time you take two bites of food you take a drink of water. Or tell yourself that every two hours you will drink a glass of water. Your…

Thanks everyone they all look great! :-)

That is normal. Give yourself some time. I started in June with my heath kick and November is when I started to get regular.

I have PCOS. Polycystic Overran Syndrome. I had to be on the pill to get a regular period. My doctor said the only thing that can improve my chances of getting regular and one day getting pregnant would be to drop the weight and exercise regularly. I have lost 20lbs by eating right and working out 2-5 times a week. I have…

I just had mine removed on Friday morning. If you are not going to get put out I suggest a good sized breakfast. The rest of the day I slept. I ate 3 popcicles and that is it. The next day I ate some jello, yogurt, popcicles, ice cream blended to liquid, milk and I swallowed a few noodles. Today (Sunday) I had some noodles…

Thank you everyone so much! I cannot wait to try them all!! YUMMM!!!

Jell-o double chocolate pudding sugar free (60 calories) AMAZING!!!!!

My Christmas break did not go as planned. I was sick, had some family issues, and then the temptations of food set me over to +4lbs!!! :( So I am taking it slow again!

You can do it! Do not think in one month damn I should have worked out! Go back to school and be like yeah you all look at me! I am hot!!!! :)

I feel the same way! I am sick of being the fat grandchild, or niece, or cousin, or sister, or daughter! I am going to do better and look my greatest!! Good Luck!! find someone to go with you at least part of the time! I know I need my fiance or I would only go for my normal work out! I will add you as a friend and we can…

Thanks! That is what we thought the last couple weeks have been in front of our computers and books! WE are so ready to be active! thanks for the encouragement!!

I am focused on the pounds but I do watch the inches as well. I take progress pictures you can go look at them so I can stay motivated when I do not see the pounds fall off. We will keep everything updated. We have started changes our diets and we plan for those week to really focus on changing the foods we eat. On the…

We kinda live out in the middle of no where so we are going to work into it the 1st week and the 2nd and 3rd week we plan to go full force. I would like to have a trainer but we are poor college kids lol.. We can use the college gym for free and our livingroom for other exercises. thanks though!!

it will be worth it! I am not doing 15 hours of week in class plus all the homework so I might as well be doing something than just sitting around. If I keep myself busy I will feel better when next semester starts. Then I am planning to keep this routine up during the summer time too so by the time my next fall semester…

Yes you read it correctly. We are going to work out every muscle and make it a very balanced routine. If we take our time and focus we can burn the 2,000 calories. On Biggest Loser they work out anywhere from 6-10hours a day. My doctor said it would be okay to eat 1,500 calories and burn 2,000. Each lb of fat is worth…

I have PCOS it makes me insulin resistant or insulin stubborn as I call it.

Remember if you eat more in the morning you have the whole day to burn it off. I want to get myself in the shape of eating 500cals in the morning and then working down to 300cals for dinner. It makes more sense. By lunch time with walking to work and doing daily activities and your body kicking into gear the calories will…

GREAT JOB! I am proud of you! You need to keep up the good attitude. Week 5-9 can get rough but stick it out! You have got this!!

Here is the deal: While you want to eat the calories you worked off it is not a necessity to eat all of them. You must eat 1,200 calories or more everyday. Plan a large breakfast carb it up. You will burn this off first and fastest. Have a light snack. A decent Lunch again if you are working out after lunch eat heavier…

good luck!! You can do it! Everyone on here is very encouraging and this is a great site to track your habits!

I am going to do a triathlon next year! I want to get this once I complete it! Thanks! It is really cool!

Before it did. This is my 1st cycle since I have started losing weight. I hope it comes back off. Thanks!

I have horses. This is a sign of trust. Animals and babies can tell real personalities. Horses are really good about sensing people they trust. My horse is calm with Vets and everything if he can see me. If he cannot see me he gets very upset and scared. It means this horse really likes you. Not all horses like me. I have…

I jog and bike right now. When I can get to my college to swim on lap swim hours I try. I really do not know much about swimming so there is my down fall. I am not coordinated enough to get my legs and arms and I do not know when to breathe. I am a mess in the water lol.
