Mine was when the Dr. said my blood work indicated that I was at a very high risk for a heart attack! That did it for me. I am only 37, way too young to have those issues.

First off, let me say good for you for recognizing what you need to work on and making a committment. Just remember that because there is a size 2 girl running on the treadmill and laughing etc. does not mean she didn't have to work he *kitten* off to get there and stay there. And one day that could just as easily be you…

"The results of your bloodwork indicate that you are at an extremly high risk for hear disease" (AKA heart attack). Boy did that sober me up! No longer the case now:smile:

Hot Chocolate. Whenever I fell like I want sweets or chocolate, I have a hot chocolate (only 60 calories) and it curbs the craving and fills me up.

Congrats!!! That is a big deal!!!:happy:

GET A BRAND NEW BOX AND SCOOP!!! Reusing a used one no matter how much bleach is gross!!!!

I don't know why but this question always seems to errk me. People have to remember that just because YOU made a decision to change something about yourself does not mean that you are making that decision for your partner. It was a choice for you and you alone. My husband and I got fat together. I made this decision for…

That would be me. I still have 10 more pounds to go.

I just had mine out on March 4/13. No issues whatsoever. I could have gone back to work in 5 days but my husband thought that was too soon so I took 7 days total. Have had no issues since and I have lost 3.8 pounds since the surgery, so you shouldn't worry about not being able to lose weight after. I think most people say…

LOL, that is hilarious:laugh:

Sorry, it was a typo I walk 7.5km in an hour (I am Canadian) not sure what that equals in miles. Sorry about that :smile:

Height 5'8 Age/gender 37/female Highetst Weight 278 Current Weight 160 Body Fat%?? But I know I have lost someting like 30% Lowest Weight 135 in highschool Goal 150 Ultimate Goal 148 - that would put me at 130 pounds lost. If I don't get ther I am ok with that, I just like round numbers LOL!

\ Thank you so much Sparlingo and everyone.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! We can all inspire someone!

Never. Even when I was in my late teens and early 20's and a size 6 I only ever wore a bikini once. Guess I am not a bikini person LOL!

Walking is amazing exercise. I started out walking and lost about 70% of my weight from walking (and of course my diet and eating habits). I was so hesitant to join a gym that I just kept pushing myself to walk farther and faster and it is amazing exercise. I now have a PT twice a week but still do my walking 5-6 days a…

I have been married to my husband for 10 years, together 16. We started dating and we were both thin. We got fat together. Last year I decided I needed to change to be healthy. By virtue of not eating out all the time my husband lost a few pounds but has gone back to his way of eating. I think what people have to remember…

Vitalicious products, most of them are only 100 calories and very very filling.

I am living proof that you do not need to give up the things you love in order to lose weight. I am also living proof that you do not need to eat salad in order to lose weight. In the past year I have probably had 4 salads, I am not a salad lover at all, but they are safe bet if you have to eat out. You can eat the things…

Saggy, Saggy Boobs - god they are horrible to look at Wrinkled hanging skin - also terrible Having to constantly replace clothes - while a good thing not a good thing on the pocket book Have my feet size go down a whole size - how the hell does your feet size change???? LOL Noting a boob lift, tummy tuck and unlimited…

Tofu - never have, never will!!!

1 - You are worth it 2 - Life is much easier to move around in when you are healthy 3 - You can learn to like whole wheat bread - it's not really that bad 4 - Money spent on exercise is much better than money spent eating out - you get much more in return 5 - Shopping for clothes is fun when you aren't limited to a few…

I had this happen as well and I was already drinking a ton of water a day. It only seemed to happen at intervals of weight loss when my body shape was changing. Thankfully mine wasn't too bad though. It happens once and a while now but not as often as before. Like other posters just keep the water up.

I did not, and will not give up carbs and have been able to lose weight. Moderation is the key with carbs and everything else.

So my first goal was when I lost 50 pounds I was getting a real Louis Vuitton purse, which I did in Vegas (and it is beautiful I might add LOL!) So here is the funny part, I am 13 pounds away from my ultimate goal (goal of 128 pounds lost total) and I have no reward planned or thought of. I know this may sound cheesy but…

I eat 1200 a day and it obviously has worked.

Very Simple Answer: I ate too much of the wrong food. I loved eating out and was lazy when it came to making meals. My husband and I would eat out 4-5 nights a week because we didn't feel like cooking. And of couse when we were out I never chose healthy options, because let's face it, who goes to a restaurant for a salad…

Faux Fried Pickles and Faux Fried Onion Rings - tried them for superbowl and both turned out terrible, we didn't even eat them. Some things should just remain as they are LOL!

I will tell anyone that will listen about it. I think it is the best app/site out there!!

Feel free to add me as a friend. If my body could change you can too!!!
