Thin doesn't equal happy. You can be the thinnest, prettiest girl in the room-and be completely miserable on the inside. Don't loose sight of what matters most-and that is the inside of us. Not the outside.

Meeting people when you are older is hard-I can attest to that! I moved to a new state as an adult-and wow-everyone else already had their friends-add to that a divorce some years later-and alone. You can do this-and you will do this. I recommend getting an activity that is just for you though; something outside of the…

I can't wait to start this. I have an agreement with three other people that we all start doing it on January 1st.. I am going to try to do this every day for the 30 days. I need to build up some good exercise strength! I still can't do a lot-so this is my way of pushing myself. Can't wait to start!

:drinker: Coffee with cream. Sorry-I will allow for this every day-otherwise, I wouldn't be able to function!

The Zumba is not expensive. It was only 39 when I got mine for Christmas-so just go get it-totally worth that money!!!

I love the Wii Fit Plus and Zumba. Those are my "go to's". However, I do have the Biggest Loser (first edition) and liked that also. It just wasn't "fun" for me-so I don't do it that much. Wii Fit and Zumba keep me engaged....sadly-I need that!

I prefer working out at home. I can workout whenever I want that way-and no one will be there to watch me. Also, when I did belong to a gym-I always had an excuse not to go. This way...it is in my living room-so there is no excuse.

I do that-and it's from dry skin. Aveeno works great for me.....when I remember to use it.

Good job! This has been a "day by day" journey for me-I have to start each day like it is the first day-and remember all I have accomplished to this point! It was hard-but finally gave up Soda and going to Starbucks:( ; I mean-good for me-but those were yummy! However, i am like you-I couldn't have them in moderation-I was…

I just got it for Christmas, and have only done it twice-but I love it. I don't have the Just Dance 2 (or 1), so I can't compare to that one. I just know that it is going to give me a workout, and that is why I wanted it.

This is a good idea:) 1. STOP SPENDING MONEY! Seriously...it doesn't grow on trees, even though I sometimes seem to think it does! 2. Make sure my husband continually knows I think that he is the best thing in the world. 3. Scrapbook more, watch TV less.

I got it for the Wii for Christmas, and LOVE IT! I have only played it twice, but-I am in love. I haven't seen the Kinect, but have heard good things, so I would think that it would be even better on it. It has tutorials-which I totally need, but I have also been able to stumble along with the routines also:) :laugh:

I am for sure in!

I have been doing the "box 1/2 my food up before i get it" thing-and that seems to be working for me.

Silly little question-should we send our stats to you on Dec 28th, or on Jan 1st to get started? I would prefer to not send them now-as I want as accurate as a read out as possible on my weight loss.

That is in fact-mostly how I get my exercise. I love the Wii-and hope to get Zumba soon. I currently have Wii Fit and Biggest Loser-and they are both really great. I have Gold's Gym Boxing-but don't like the music on it-so I can't use it. Plays only one song....

I personally am not willing to do anything that I am not going to stick with. I say if your journey has stalled, to mix up your workout or drink more water, etc. Try new things the healthy way. Not sure how I feel about taking pills for a quick fix, even just to get restarted.

My journey has been about new habits. I say work on one thing a week until you get the hang of it. When you throw too much at yourself at once, that might not work. I did the first week as-no snacky candy!! (I used to eat a candy bar a day). The second week I added to that, no soda. Then I just kept/keep adding on!

I would like to join this also. I really need to get this weight off, and this sounds very attainable.

I honestly don't have time to eat before I workout. If I want to fit it in-I do it right before I take my shower to get ready for the day. Also, I can't eat when first waking up-and that is when I workout. Just my two cents.

I always get either the minestrone soup, or the marinara linquine, and the salad without the dressing.

I do find if I start the day good-I am good throughout. The days I wake up and work out are my best food days by far.

I get asked this a lot-and I hate it. It is so embarrassing! I know I am overweight-I get it. Don't keep rubbing it in. Seriously-I don't look even 9 months pregnant though, so I don't know why you would think it is ok to ask. I haven't ever asked anyone if they were-just because I wouldn't want to upset them if they…

Silly little additional question...how do you know you are taking the same measurements each time? That you are pulling it the same "tightness" around you each time?

Good luck! I have been here about five weeks-and love it. I have only lost 6 pounds-but am proud of that fact! I went from being someone who NEVER did any exercise (in fact-if you would have told me a building was on fire, rather than run-I might have considered it just my time to go! LOL). Seriously, never exercised-to…

Congratulations!!!!

My goal is 1 pound a week-and I am basically doing that. I have lost 6 pounds in five weeks. I need something smaller and more attainable to me, or I will get discouraged and give up.

Great job!!

It is funny that now cheating is totally different! No more will I go eat out for three meals, have two starbucks and a candy bar in a day, haha! Now I "cheat" so differently! Way to go!!!!

I try to get in a walk at lunch. However-I am lucky-I work downtown and have a skyway system-meaning that I can't use the weather as an excuse:)
