Bump - I need to know this too. My abdomen hasn't lost any inches! :ohwell:

Interested in your smoothies your drinking. It might help me add veggies to my diet, if I can make them taste sweet. I'm going to send you a friend request. Also the other people are right in saying you should add your breastfeeding calories and also you should only aim to lose 0.5 pounds a week to lose since you're trying…

Yes - and I still have my "buddha belly" - haven't even lost 1/4 inch in my abdomen! :noway: Have big hips and thighs and I really want to lose the gut too. I keep hearing the belly weight is the "last to go" but I want it gone NOW!! :cry:

That's great! What was your daughter's response? I bet she was thrilled for you also! :flowerforyou:

Thanks! This info helps a lot! I have been overwhelmed looking for a heart rate monitor so I was HOPING this would be the solution, but it appears to be too good to be true. Again, thanks for the info!

I'm thinking about getting Insanity once I lose more weight etc. I applaud you for trying it now! That's awesome!!! I haven't lost any in my stomach either so I'll be interested in seeing what responses you get!! :glasses:

You're doing great! :drinker: I'm a married mom of 4 and I usually am on at least once a day. I may not respond to every status update, etc but I'm always around for my friends if they need me! I've lost 25 and hope to get down to 122 ( my dream weight) or 142 (the weight I could live with). My goal is 1200 calories and I…

That's great!!! :drinker: I haven't lost even 1/4 inch in my abdomen and you seem to have lost all of your extra weight there! I want to know when did you start losing in your midsection? I have been told that will be the last to go, but I'm anxious!!! :flowerforyou:

Update - in July I was 207, now I'm 197! :happy: So I'm definitely on track to be the 192, :drinker: not sure about the 177 right now but I think 182 is doable! :glasses: I'm hoping to be the 177 before Thanksgiving! :bigsmile: How is everyone doing on their goal??? :flowerforyou:

I'm "next-door" to you in Arkansas! I'm a married mom of 4 and will send you a request!

This is what I did - I bought a pair of Nike shorts for like $4.00 and hopefully when I fit into them I can use them to jog in! :)

This sounds great!! Maybe my family would actually go for this one!

My plan is to work up to Insanity too. Right now I got my first Jillian Michaels DVD. Hope to work through a few of those and try Insanity by my birthday in March. Between now and then I'm going to try other stuff and hopefully gain some type of stamina so I can attempt to handle Insanity. That infomercial shows awesome…

Exercise more so you'll have more calories to eat! I try to stick around 1200 myself. :smile:

March 22nd - Aires!! :glasses:

Bump!:flowerforyou:

That's AWESOME!!!!!!! Love the pictures!! :flowerforyou:

Bump - to read later. This looks like a deep read and my brain is too tired tonight! Want to read when I can give it the attention it deserves!! :flowerforyou:

I just started my journey on June 4th of this year. On June 1st, I went to the doctor with my husband, who is 6 foot 2 inches and is overweight, and I was a pound more than him and I'm 5 foot 5 inches!!! :noway: That was on a Friday and I started doing something about it that Monday. :flowerforyou:

Ok, dumb question, what's shrooms??? :ohwell: DUH!!! :laugh: Never mind - I see now it's the obvious answer of mushrooms, just was thinking it was something else from the context of the sentence, like some dance or something - lol. :wink:

Christi_sunshine! :glasses:

Not sure, but about to go get my first DVD tonight. asked on an earlier post about recommendations and the top 3 I got where the 30 Day Shred, No More Trouble Zones (I think that 's the name of it) and her Yoga DVD. I might get the Yoga DVD since one person mentioned that you don't need weights with that one, just use your…

I like your current one! You have a pretty glow about you from your profile picture. Why do you want to change it from sunshine? :flowerforyou:

Not sure yet since I have a long way to go, but hopefully getting a nice outfit and swimsuit to take my "victory" picture in. Bump - for other ideas! Nice to think about every now and then! :flowerforyou:

Bump - want to see these. I'm considering it also. Anyone want to throw out an estimate on cost? That, besides the pain and scarring, is my main concern. I have insurance, but it doesn't cover "cosmetic surgery" even though most of my problem is due to having kids. :grumble:

I personally weigh with clothes on, at the gym in the evenings after work. I figured that will be when I'm my heaviest and that would be more accurate. :flowerforyou:

Thanks guys for your suggestions!! Looks like the top 3 so far are the 30 Day Shred, No More Trouble Zones, and her Yoga DVD. Might try the Yoga since you don't have to use weights with that one to start out with. I guess I'll see when I get up to Wal-mart! Others, keep leaving suggestions, thanks! :flowerforyou:

I'm a married mom of 4 ranging in ages from 17 on down to 6 and my stomach is one of my worst areas. And it's the area that is not shrinking! I'll send you a request and others can do the same. You're pictures are showing you are making GREAT progress!! That's awesome - and encouraging!!!! :glasses:

I have a tight budget but have been looking on places like Wal-mart and also online like ebay and Amazon, but there are so many to choose from. How do you know if the cheaper ones are user friendly or even reliable? That's why I haven't bought one yet.

There are district and regional managers over her. Get the number for the corporate office and call.
