Easier said than done! Some people struggle with eating the proper foods and to simply waste our time and put "Just don't it it" is rather rude in my opinion. Now to be productive to this post: I start with getting the food out of my house. This doesn't always work, because people bring sweets into work, I might stop…

Two pounds a week can be done, but it isn't easy and it won't be consistent for that 16 weeks. My dress too, can be taken in two sizes, I'm not sure if I'll make it. I've been eating right and exercising on and off all year and haven't reached even close to where I was hoping to be (40 pounds down, I'm at 25 now but I was…

Do what makes you feel best, but as someone on the journey myself who is struggling like hell, those before & after pictures can be such a motivation tool. I look at peoples before & afters and it reminds me that if I keep at it, even though I'm losing weight so slowly, I CAN do it. Because other REAL people did it too. So…

I too am obese technically, though very close to the edge. It's VERY frustrating and I think BMI is a horrible self esteem downer. Judge yourself by your fitness level and Body Fat %.

Ha ha! I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!! My fiancee is just like that! He has a size 30 waist, is over 6 foot and eats like a pig! And eats...and eats...he informed me last night that he ate 30 something pizza bites for dinner Friday when I was gone. He can't understand my frustration with weight loss (or lack thereof) but at least…

I think her point was that he doesn't treat you well so you need to fix that. Not become engaged to someone who quite clearly puts you down. That is no life!

Not only does Nick know how much I weigh, he doesn't care. He DOES care if I'm happy about my body, and he struggles to help me with my struggles. He doesn't know what to do, and has never struggled with weight issues so he doesn't understand but he tries very hard to be supportive and find dinner ideas, etc.

The Sargento reduced fat mozzarella string cheese! It was SO salty! EW! I bought that when I was on Weight Watchers and someone suggested it to me for a good snack and I ate one and it's been in my fridge since! I might make baked mozzarella sticks out of it if it's still good!

I'm learning to like exercise. I feel good afterwards, and feel accomplished. And guilty when I don't do it. As far as veggies, I am pretty picky. Corn. Celery with dip or something, baby carrots. Canned green beans or peas. Salsa. And tomatoes only on a Chicago dog! Lol. But there is so much more to being healthy than…

Aspertame can cause an allergic reaction in certain people. My stepmom went on Atikins and started drinking all sorts of diet pepsi and got horribly sick after a while, now she can't even chew sugar free gum (most contain aspertame) without getting sick. But I eat yoplait light yogurt (I like how it tastes better than the…

People like this, feed off of the other persons getting upset. Ignore her, ignore it. And don't let it get to you at work. I know from experience. SHE IS NOT WORTH IT!

You will always have to eat differently, remember that, or you will gain all your hard work back! I eat a lot of wraps. The carb balance small tortillas are only 90 calories and you can put all sorts of things in them!

My problem with the machine, is if I work out harder, but complete the distance, it says the same amount. So it's saying about 100 cals per half mile. I can go slow and still burn 100 cals in a half mile. Which I know it's not the half mile that determines the amount of calories I burn, but how high my heart rate is. Which…

I track the morning of all the time. I almost always have dinner planned so why wait to track it? And I weigh and measure everything properly. That way, I don't have to worry about tracking during the day, and I have something to stick to! If I eat something unexpected, I track it of course, but I find tracking ahead is…

I don't know about bang for your buck, but I love the elliptical. I've always felt it gives me a good workout and is low impact on the joints. Make sure you use the moving handles not the stationary ones, and don't lean to one side and use your weight to move the pedals. Stand up straight, keep your core engaged. This will…

Totally hard to find Vanilla Coke here now. (State of Iowa). Glad my boyfriend is the one that likes it and not me! Lol!

This is amazing! I have been on Weight Watchers for 6 months and only lost 25 pounds! Stories like yours make me know I can do a different program and get this done faster! Thank you for your inspiring pics! What has been your workout/eating plan?
