I saw a friend this past weekend that I hadn't seen for years and she did not recognize me!! She then saw my husband and said...well...let's just say she was surprised!

Dear 16 year old me, Yes, you are a good person. No, you are not fat contrary to what the clique wants you to believe. Believe in yourself!! Be the good girl you are and trust me Prince Charming does come along....with 3 little mice in tow!! You know you always wanted 3 kids!! Tell your parents more often how much you love…

What: me & me momma Where: Left-Mom's 80th birthday party Right-Anniversary party for friends When: left-June 2010 Right-August 2012 Why: needed a comparison to show my weight loss!! And I wanted a pic with my momma!

lost 52 998+52 = 1050

I no longer use dressing....I use salsa..Much prefer it over dressing!!

So happy for you both.....he's a keeper!!

OOOO...I love tea! And tea from Teavana is heavenly. But...my current favorite is Bigelow's Pomegranate Black Tea. I drink green tea for most of the day (with plain or flavored water mixed in too), but in the afternoon I have a cup of pom tea..yummmm

Oh Rosie!!! I was going to answer earlier (wanted to be the first one) but work got in the way! Like you I too have an "Ed"...but mine is a Jim! Or should I say gem! He is my greatest source of inspiration. When I started my journey 2 1/2 years ago he told me whatever I did he would do...and he did. He has lost about 35…

Still working on it! Me and my momma....yes I have on heels in the second pic...she didn't shrink that much!

I finished 30DS last month...lost about 4 inches overall! Now on my 5th day of Ripped in 30...lovin' it so far...but it is only week one...lol!

Congrats on your loss!!! Weight loss that is...not the clothes. Try shopping my favorite designer....Clearance! (that's what my granddaughter says). I've bought pants/skirts/tops from New York and Company for $10 a piece. Kohl's has great clearances also...I've gotten pants there anywhere from $3 to $8!

Oh yea...HOT FLASHES...only in the winter are they good...and then not so much!

It will get easier! Finished 30 Day Shred and moved on to Ripped in 30! I do agree you need a rest day now and then. For me it was the weekends (I did treadmill). Your body is just fussing with you...let it fuss...you can do this.

Yep...sitting at a desk doesn't help one bit! My weight gain however was do to a few things; lack of trying, being comfortable in my surroundings, but mostly the loss of my daughter. Before she died I had started shedding pounds and we actually were the same size! After she died food became my comfort and my friend. It…

As many others have said...."just do it". I have been getting up at 5 for months now to work out and I rarely wake up to the alarm. I am able to shut it off before it goes off and am up and running. Do I enjoy getting up that early, NO. But I know for me if I don't I won't exercise at night. Bad thing is I'm even awake…

^^This. My mom has been overweight my entire life, but not once was I ever embarrassed by her weight. Both of my sisters are as well and they have never embarrassed me because of their weight...other things maybe, but not their weight! She's just a little girl and curious...that's how kids are!

I've been doing them only because Jillian makes me in Ripped in 30!! So...guess I'm in!

Let's see..my treadmill, hand weights, and ALL my Jillian Michaels DVD's! She kicks my butt! Oooo...and my fitbit...never leave home without it!

Oh...you cannot be almost 43...no way...don't believe it!!! AND you can't have daughters ...maybe younger sisters!!! You look GREAT!!! Very inspiring!! Keep up the good work!

congrats on the weight loss!! If you have a few moments try running to Goodwill or a consignment shop to see if you can find a pair of pants! Wear thick socks for the shoes...lol!

Finished it and lost about 4 inches overall!!! Now doing Ripped in 30! Gotta love Jillian. Hang in there you will love the results in the end!

I never felt that I was "obese", but then one day I REALLY saw myself in the mirror...WOW. It was then and there that I decided I wanted to lose that person before I turned 50 and become healthy and fit. Now I am 50 pounds lighter and feeling great...no I am not to my goal but working towards it...slowly. There are days…

Just did day 1 of level 1....is she really trying to kill me??

Here's my total so far

My totals thus far!!!

You look fabulous...simply fabulous!! Congratulations.

Ok...here's the real numbers...lol

I'm in!!!
