i'm with you on this! removing him as a friend was a good idea. if he can't control his own personal paranoia, and imposes it on his partner, then it's not a healthy relationship. i did the same thing to my ex. first, i put him on limited profile, so he couldn't see much of anything. when he continued to nag me about every…

thanks, everyone! my new meal challenge for myself is to try to meet my fat/sugar max. any pointers would be great, but i know i've been eating food that is high in fat of late (and am REALLY challenged to ignore my sweet tooth). =/

thanks everyone! i can't tell you how, but my tummy just seemed to disappear haha. no tricks =P

it's funny that you want your legs slimmer -- where you have them now is what i wish mine were like. my thighs look so wide from the front. >:/ what exercises do you do?

i know -- i didn't think much had come off my stomach. i thought it was mostly my arms and legs. cardio for the win!

:D

ahh i love that little adrenaline rush at the hope other people give. :D and thanks -- good luck in your pursuit! i look forward to seeing your success.

lol thaaaanks XD i can't help but say that i'm still so grateful i can motivate. it's hard to find other women with my body type. i feel like the wide hips/shoulders falls in the background to women with slimmer frames. this is soooo motivating for me to keep at it!

i really appreciate that! everyone seems shocked when i tell them my weight. maybe it's all that muscle in my legs and back.. =P

hey everyoneeee... so i finally have a before/after progress shot with a four month difference. third of the way to my goal -- let's get itttt! :D

hahaha thanks! i waited two months for it to come back in stock -- definitely worth it. ;) [venus makes it, if you're curious!]

thanks!! i'm glad i can give back to this community -- it's been a huge help just peeking in on everyone else's stories/progress. :DDD

you go, girl! i'm 5'8" too but definitely have a bigger frame than you. i'm hoping to get to 150 from 180 right now. my SUPER dream goal is 140 -- or at least LOOK that. i focus a lot on lifting and cardio, so i think my muscle mass might take up those ten pounds, if not more. =P

WOW. you look GREAT!!

that is incredible -- keep it up. :D i can't wait until i have some before/after pics that really show the difference. thanks everyone!

those would definitely seem more appropriate! at least chicago is in the top ten. damn.

ahh i get that waist thing too -- definitely encouraging to see that it can be cut down! curves are so high maintenance lol.

exactly what i was thinking!

don't you love that? I haven't weighed myself lately but i go by how loose my clothes are. :D they get annoying but it's such a great feeling, knowing you'll need a smaller size!

hahahahaha i call my shoulders linebacker shoulders, too! i think if i had started young enough, i'd be able to tackle a couple guys my own age with these things.

That is where I want to be! You look great!!

wow, great transformation, shorty! redhead -- what do you do for your weight training? i go pretty hard on my legs but have taken it easy since i tore a ligament in my ankle. now i'm focusing more on core/upper body.

that is awesome! i keep hearing about insanity. we have the p90x package but i haven't used it.. i can't seem to get in to the popular/trending workouts, but i see their AMAZING results. i always lose the weight in my legs and face quickets. my stomach/butt are like -- "lol jk we're hanging out for another 15lbs."

PACKERS ALL DAY EVERY DAY, BAYBEEEE!

you look amazing! damn, girl. great job!

when i know i'm doing well for a while, i'll treat myself to a cookie or two. i've completely cut out juice and pop, with a cup of 2% milk here and there. i used to drink all three ALL THE TIME. now, i know i just like the taste/texture. i don't need it. so i will have a sip of a friend's just to satisfy my damnable taste…

i've been keeping up!! it's nice to know that commitment can extend to this group, even if it isn't something we do in person, together. my knees have been very sore this month, so i've been doing a lot of interval, stairs, and speed walking uphill. i feel great, but my buns are pretty sore!

near aurora!

Just joined this site today and have been consistently working out for two weeks now. My goal is to run at least one mile a day after work -- I'm already at 1.5mi a day, so I think I'll go over! Excited to get this going.
