okay, so I need a kichen scale it sounds like. what is the best/cheapest one and where do I get it? and I live in a very small town. so walmart or online are my choices.

I would love, and really need, to accept this challenge. but I know I can't quit cold turkey. so, I will commit to only have 1 or 2 drinks only 1 day a week. this would be a huge improvement for me!!!

amazing job!!! congrats on all your hard work!!

for me, it was miserable at first, not gonna lie. but, I started liking, heck loving running when I started making it part of my social life. get signed up for a 5K. worked toward that goal, and then have fun. pick a good race!! that is so important. find one that has a great after party if you know what I mean!!

Love all the responses! it has taken me a year and a half to figure this out! lol but, I am finally realizing how much of it is all in your mind set!

awe....sad to see that you think you only need a sports bra for two months! hope you will keep up with the tougher workouts even after weight is off. your body needs it all the time! hopefully, you just mean that you will need a smaller size!!!

one of my fav quotes............Excuses are only good for those that make them!!!!

ugh...drives me nuts!!!! so very true!

I found myself in this same situation. I had worked for years to lose weight, finally did it, then broke my ankle! I was so scared of gaining it all back. so, I asked my doctor what I could do to workout. which, I couldn't do much the first week, but after that, he told me that anything I could figure out how to do with my…

I did 4 of them last year!!! and I was scared to death to even think of it the first time, but it is by far my favorite race distance to do! can't wait for the next1
