Is this online somewhere? Would love to try it.

Considering you're half the size, you should see a change. Way to go, now keep going!!

Look at it like it's an event not a process. it was just one little event, learn from it and move forward. It's not an ongoing process. Just like hitting a milestone is an event not an end to the process. Celebrate it and keep going.

This, also my instructor gave me some really good advice. She said to have absolutely everything prepped the night before. Clothes, food, toiletries!! Everything. Even sleeping in gym clothes to start!! Yes!! It worked!! Now I love it and it's so natural. It's like brushing my teeth in the morning. It's just what you do!!

Love this stream. I have lots, but the one I tend to repeat regularly..."What doesn't challenge you doesn't change you". Also with reference to the "losing weight is hard" quote, I also read one that said "losing weight isn't hard, losing a loved one is hard, child birth is hard, but losing weight isn't hard". Ya, I'm…

My 25th wedding anniversary is May 2nd. I would love to be my wedding weight just for fun. That's about 10 pounds to go. Wish me luck.

Up at 5 and at the gym at 6 every work day, 3 days of boot camp, 2 days with PT, then run on weekends. I make a spinach smoothie every morning so I eat half the banana before working out and put the other half in the smoothie but that's eat for eating usually. My PT told me I need to eat more carbs before coming as I've…

One of my kids had a teacher (an excellent teacher) that sent a note home stating it was her job to teach our kids the best she could. In order to do this she had to have the kids attention, free from outside distractions. If kids were jacked on sugar it tended to add unwanted distractions and interfered with her teaching.…

i do weights/strength with cardio intervals. I enter it as circuit training. For 45 minutes it's 324. which I've been told is fairly accurate. i do 15 minutes of yoga at the end that I don't log so i have a little bit of margin for error.

Gained a pound. Same, not beating myself up just trying to figure out where I need to make adjustments. I've been to a lot of events ('is the season) so I think it' a lot of salt. And have not been diligent about logging. That's going to be my focus moving forward.

First of all I need to get rid of the Halloween candies sitting on a table outside my office!! Is it rude to tell people stop bringing in your left over candy. I have no will power when it comes to Reese' peanut butter cups. And I know it's all about CICO. trust me I lose it with the combo of peanut butter and chocolate.…

Thank you for this. Took me a while to figure it out but finally got it!!! Love it.

Does anyone know of a good app to remind you to drink water? I heard theres one that makes a glugging sound every hour to remind you to go for more.

Confessions of Cindy Smith. I must confess I join these groups with great intentions but like my habits I tend to fall off the radar. Now that I've put that in writing I'm hoping I will do better with this one. I've lost most of my weight it;s just those stubborn last 10 pounds I'd like to get rid of for good. Also, going…

I'm an on again off again runner so when I go back to C25K I tend to skip some days/weeks. I just used it for the start really.

I use this website a lot for my slow cooker http://www.ayearofslowcooking.com/. This girl got a slow cooker for a Christmas present and declared to use it every day for a year. She's made a book out of it and has been on talk shows. She's pretty funny and tells you how to modify if you don't have an ingredient. You can…

I took a course to be a fitness instructor and everyone else there was 22. When the instructor went around the room to ask why we were taking the course I said "because I'm 53 and need to start thinking about a plan for when I retire". The guy in front of me said "Wow you look great for an old person!!".. Really, word for…

I've been trying for about 3 years to lose the last 10 pounds. I'm at a point where I think I'm meant to be 10 pounds over what I think I should be. I'm 5'3" around 120 to 123. I like being under 115 but it ain't happening. If there's a group formed, I'm in.

Funny, I have this conversation with a friend all the time. She insists I'm more fit and healthy because I make more money and can afford classes and personal trainer. I remind her when I started I just bought a good pair of running shoes. Wore crappy clothes and walked at first then started to run. Now I choose to spend…

I agree with what all the others said about looking at the "love" in the photos but you "could" always use it and print one of the pics you really don't like and put it on the junk food cupboard or attach it to the top of the ice cream container.

My mini goal is to wear a cute little dress I got for a music festival in August. My other semi-mini is to be my wedding day weight for my 25th anniversary next May. 10 pounds to go.

Is it bad that I "really" like this!!???

WOW, what a great story. I love that you found something you both love to do.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to go find me a pool. Nice calorie burn.

Wanting it badly enough... I watch this video when I get off track. When you want to Succeed as Bad as you want to Breathe, then you'll be Successful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70r4thpsCO4

For me, not a fan of tattoos on me. I'm too much of a control freak. I don't know for absolute certainty I will want it later on in life so can't do it. Plus I hear the removal is painful. Hate pain, I have enough naturally without going out to pay for it!! Peircings I'm OK with since they are reversable. But back to…

I'm having quiche for dinner. Does that count as pie?

To be faster runner than my husband so when we go to South Africa in 2 weeks the lion catches him not me. Oh, and to look good when we go shark diving.

I lost 16 pounds in 2012 for a special vacation (50th cruise). have gained most of it back but the kicker is the bad eating habits. I too love wine, chocolate and sweets. I've got you all beat!! I leave at the end of this month for a trip to South Africa. I'm looking to get my eating habits under control and lose a little…
