I've only lost 5 lbs in the past almost 3 weeks, but today, I had to take my belt in another hole! I'll take that :)

Thanks for asking this and sharing your answer from Nike. I wasn't sure where/how to use my phone either (I downloaded it on my Android device), because I noticed it asks in the setup for the run whether you are using it in portrait, left armband or right armband, so I assumed I couldn't use it in my pocket. I'm guessing…

Hey, I haven't read through all the comments here, so if I'm repeating, I'm sorry. I've done my TDEE on several sites, and using the scooby site, it says my TDEE is 1976, using the setting for desk job with little exercise. However, I've had my heart rate monitor on since midnight, and it's only 9pm now, and I've already…

My body now looks like your body did when you started. I always see people's before pics, and although they are big, their tummy "rolls" don't look like mine do. lol So it's nice to see a body that looks like mine and to see an after pic. You look absolutely amazing and I'm so thankful I came across your post. You are a…

Feel free to add me also :)

Thanks, everyone. And yes, it IS such a great feeling!!! I had a couple people at work tell me they could tell I'd lost weight, but I'm like, "It's not that much, so you can't really tell!!" lol And then I realized my pants were too big for me without the belt (I've been wearing the belt for about 2 months now because it's…

I am currently just counting calories, and trying to eat within my BMR of around 1650 calories per day. On days that I exercise or get in more steps (use a Fitbit tracker), then I'll eat more. I'm not really exercising right now, but if I feel up to it, I'll get in a walk here and there. I'm hoping to add more exercise…

My name is Sarah. I am a wife and mom to 4 children (2 girls, ages 15 and 12 and 2 boys, ages 11 and 3). I have been overweight as long as I can remember (meaning being 120 in 3rd grade). I'm currently 199 lbs, but I started at 210 at the beginning of 2013. My ultimate goal weight is 130 lbs, but I'd be happy losing 15 lbs…

This is my before. In this pic, I was 201 lbs, but now I'm 199 lbs. SW: 210 lbs CW: 199 lbs challenge GW: 184 lbs (down 15 lbs in 15 weeks) ultimate GW: 130 lbs (p.s. I'll change my challenge end weight by the 25th if I'm already down a bit by the official start day)

You look so amazing. You were beautiful before, but I can tell in the current pics that the weight being gone has such a positive effect on you. You are glowing in those pictures, and it makes you look absolutely stunning!!! Keep up the great work!

Hahaha, totally see it!!

I'm from GA and this is the first time I've ever heard of eating them raw also. lol I cook them very much like you posted, with smoked meat and simmer for a couple hours (we put some vinegar in the water while boiling to help with the bitter taste), and I usually add a little hot sauce to them while they are cooking. OMG,…

I'll join and do the best I can to follow through with your challenges. I'm 5'3" and I currently weigh 212, so I need to lose about 60 lbs, but I'd love to lose 80 lbs!! lol

I'm old, just like you!!! lol My oldest is only 14.5 though. Congrats on your loss so far. I'm still struggling!! I lost 20, gained 10, lost 5, then gained another 10... so pretty much right back where I started. lol I'm gonna add you :)

Very well written, and well stated. This is something I've been reading up on a lot, and I feel that eating near your BMR is the best way to go with weight loss. I hear people all the time telling me how they are losing so much weight by eating 1200 calories per day, and I feel that is too low, for most people. My BMR is…

I'm trying to decide what to put also. lol I'm a cashier in a grocery store, and I wore my heart rate monitor the other night (it's too uncomfortable to me to wear every day though) and during a 6.5 hour shift, I burned 2043 calories. I'm 35 yrs old, 206 lbs and about 5'3" (I know weight and possibly age would affect my…

We had a female rottweiler named Calypso. We now have a male yellow lab named Dozer :) Growing up, I had a dog name Spot, Rusty, Tinkerbell, Gizmo, Schatzi. My kids had a dog named Fluppy (combination of fluffy puppy!!). Can't think of any others. lol

I didn't even think of that!! I just went on their manual saying that it was supposed to work in water. lol I've got the same one, but I've never tried it in water yet.

It still isn't working even when you have the watch and the chest strap on in the pool? I know it wouldn't work well if you kept the watch part on the side of the pool and only wore the chest strap because it would lose signal some, so it wouldn't keep an accurate recording. But wearing them together, it should work. If…

I just graduated as a dog trainer (but I'm still new to some things, so I can't tell you all that would work), but you need to desensitize him to the cars. One good way to do that would be to take him somewhere he can see cars passing by, but they aren't close enough to totally faze him. As he stands still and doesn't…

Awesome job!!!!

I'm 5'3" and my goal is 130. That's about 75 lbs to go :(

I'm starting fresh, so hopefully I'll have some pictures to post this year. I'm 5'3" and currently right at 210 lbs. I'm aiming small this year, with a goal to lose 50 lbs (more would be awesome). So maybe by the end of June, I'll have some progress pics to share. All you ladies who have already shared, you have done an…

You look amazing!!! Great job! And such an inspiration.

Awesome job! You look great!!!

I'll join, but mine will be on a stationary bike, because I don't have a regular bike right now. lol I'll say 75 miles since I'm just getting started with a bike and I'm not the fittest right now, so I'll be taking it at a slower pace for awhile until I'm use to it.

Amazing results!! You are a very beautiful woman... thank you for sharing your success!

Hi, Becky!!! We're already friends on here :) I like your idea of doing 30 Day Shred. Hubby got it for me, and I did like 3 days, skipping a day between 2 of those days, and my thighs felt like I had stabbed them. lol So I stopped doing it. I need to get back on track. Even if I do need to skip a day between each day of…

Wow!! You look truly amazing. Such a great motivation!!

Amazing transformation. Congratulations!! So inspiring!
