Let me start with I am not a runner, and I have never been a runner.... But I started the c25k in Feb because I wanted to be able to actually attempt to run in a fun run with my BF. About half way through the program my DR made me stop due to a herniated disk in my lower back. I found during that time that I really enjoyed…

Hi, my name is Julie and I live in Fort Worth, TX. I have 2 teenage daughters, 2 dogs, and an amazing long time BF. This is my second attempt at getting healthier and losing weight. My Profile pic is me after losing 15ish pounds the first time with a starting weight of 193. I gained it all back plus 15 more pounds, so now…

I am at the beginning of my journey... eating healthy, lots of water, and working out. I am down 15 pounds in body fat and up 2 pounds in lean muscle in 4 weeks. (-4.5inch in waist, hips, thighs) I have been doing Camp Gladiator which I love. I never thought I would love getting up at 4:30 AM to workout, but I do. I also…

For the last week I have been so upset that my scale was not moving at all, and my body was stuck in low level ketosis. I have been doing everything right, no cheating, meeting all my food goals, tons of water, Camp Gladiator 4 times a week. UGH!!! So on Saturday, I went to my weekly weigh in head held low, kinda…

I have seen lots of people posting about how expensive it gets to buy new jeans. Someone at work turned me on to getting cheaper jeans. WALMART! You have to go to the juniors section, so don't pay attention to having to size up, but they have cute plain jeans that are under $10. (8.96 at my local store) Perfect for those…

I had another one today. This morning when I put on my belt that I have not worn in a few weeks, I was able to use the next hole.... I may or may not have made my daughter and boyfriend guess what I was pointing at on my belt. My 13 year old daughter was laughing so hard when she said "You got a new belt hole".... Why yes…

I just posted this as my daily update, but I really am excited today.... There was a point in my life that I thought there is no way I would ever weigh 193 pounds, and as of today I have lost 15 pounds and I am excited to weigh 193 pounds. My profile pic is 3 years old after loosing 15 pounds, the difference is my starting…

I'm right there too. Had I not been attracted to my boyfriend when we first met, I prob would not have gone on the first date. But now that we have been together for 2.5 yeaars... It is his personality that has my heart, and that makes him the most handsome and sexy man I know.

Thanks again for the ideas... I have before and progress photos on my page. Anyone who wants to help or be helped friend me... I hope to have more pics up. in 3 more weeks. I want to do it every month, until I get to my goal...

:flowerforyou: Holy Cowbells..... I just did level one, and I think im going to die; my arms were already a little shakey from this morning mini workout..... Thanks for the link

I can't do too much running as I tore a few ligaments in my knee last year, and running really gets it hurting, I'm hoping losing weight will help with that. I have a bike and ride trails for cardio, as well as my treadmill that my boyfriend got me for Valentines day. ( I know very romantic, but I told him that is what I…

Thanks, I'm checking all the suggestions out, and I hope one really works for me. I am a little anxious to start, but I know I can do it and will do great.

Thanks Julie SW 179 weighed on Monday the 17th Goal to lose 20 lbs

:frown: The google doc site is blocked from my work laptop, and I cannot edit from my phone or tablet....

ok for some reason I keep getting the little box that says the pictures have been moved even though they are clearly still in photobucket... Check out my pics here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/743658-19-pounds-and-counting-with-pics

Bump... i will post in a few minutes

GOGO Dancer @ ReComplete

@ hloftin32 8.5 love the shades

@ silvergurl518 love the hair and the "take that" half smile

I can't ditch the Romo Shirt... Its the one habbit I can't stop, LOL

Honestly if losing weight makes my boobs go away... I may have to start saving for a boob job. They are like my security blanket; I wouldnt know what to do without them. And thank you all for the kind words, I don't think I have ever had that many comlements at one time... I'm all sort of happy right now :drinker:

Thank you all very much

Feel free to add me and we can help keep each other on track. A month ago I would want anyone looking at pics of me, but I think I may become a pic *kitten*, and post pics everywhere..... :)

have you taken pics? It really has given me a little extra something seeing the pics. I wasn't sure about adding the bathing suit pics, but hey that is the old me, and the me under construction... So no biggie :tongue:

Thanks, People were saying that I look good and they could tell I was dropping a few pounds, but honestly it was someone else's post earlier about taking before, during, and after pics that prompted me to take pics today. I could not believe what I was seeing on the screen so I had to post.. And thanks, I knew there was a…

Thanks for the help :)

Wow, I never really thought about it the way all of you have put it. I am now going to search for any pics I may have... I might have one from a body wrap i did before I started this journey, and then Im going to go up stairs and strut my stuff for my first progress photo. I think every 20ish pounds will be good for me.…

It really makes me sad to read this... Your right you will never look like some of the people you see on TV, unless you are going to have ribs saved, lipo suction, sray tan abs, boob jobs, I mean this list could go on. This isnt just for you but for many of us who are in this battle together. I personally think Queen…

Glad I wasn't the only one that almost teared up... Congrats on a JOB well done

I havn't noticed a big difference in the inches, and all my clothes still fit the same. Friends and family say they can tell I have lost weight. I'm not sure where the 16lbs came from. I suppose my face and feet because those are prety much the only places I didn't measure. In time, things will start to come together; just…
