Congratulations to you!! You look great.

5'11", 214lbs., trying to get down to around 165. Here we go!

Charlotte!!

Hello! I'm not right at your age, but not toooo far from it :) 30, trying to lose around 50lbs, and live and work in Charlotte! Let me know if interested...

Wow, you look awesome, lady!! I've kinda fallen off, so seeing this really helps inspire me to get and stay back on target!! Excellent job -- keep it up! :)

MUST TRY AGAIN. If you're able to find the right one for you, I think it's sooo worth it. Yes, for sure, you should. It can make a helluva difference!

non-scale victory.. Welcome to weight-loss message-board world :)

YES, aMEN.

That is AWESOME. Very good to know. And fyi, all, I did wash it (by hand) yesterday with laundry detergent, and this morning, it dropped to 00 one time only while I was warming up -- after that, it was GOLDEN for the entire workout. No delays or ridiculous spikes or drops the whole time. So, maybe washing it regularly will…

I don't use it for most "normal" activity. I mostly wear it during "official" workouts but also fast-walking cardio (anywhere from 20-40mins.) during my lunchbreaks at work, which I feel like isn't quite in the same category as "normal" activity. Aside from that, like I said, I also SOMETIMES use it when walking to and…

These are all EXCELLENT suggestions. I do rinse my belt following almost every time I use it, but I think I've only washed it like...twice? (don't judge..lol) So, maybe (hopefully) that'll help. If not, I hadn't noticed an area in the transmitter (thanks so much for whoever referred to it properly, by the way -- I couldn't…

Thanks so much for the responses so far, guys. Hmmm... I also start mine before warming up and after cooling down whenever I'm doing a workout video or, say, on the treadmill and elliptical machines, but I notice that I tend to often not include it during my warmup whenever I'm on my own -- like, preparing for a jog, walk,…

WoW! This is awesome! I recently finished the 30DS and thought I had pretty good results, but yours are even much better!! And omg, all those lbs. lost -- I and most people I have seen have only lost maybe a few lbs, sometimes none at all (despite having lost some inches and visually appearing slimmer), while on that…

I responded about this on your related status message.

Ohh okay, I got ya -- looks like I misinterpreted! Well, that is totally awesome. Slightly up in pounds but such a huge indication of reduction visually (and I'm sure in inches). CLEARLY it isn't all about the scale -- very nice!! And thank you for your congratz :)

Hey, I'm not sure if you've seen this by now, but here is a previous thread on this topic that received a GANG of responses -- good before/after pics -- if you're interested: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/779683--apple-shaped-women-before-afters?hl=apple+before+after.

Very nice -- big difference!! Also, how much you've lost so far is around the total amount of weight loss I've been shooting for, so that it is totally awesome -- excellent job!! :)

In! :)

You said "definitely no difference between these two photos".. Which two photos -- the two you posted on here, right? If so, was that a typo? Because there's definitely a difference, girl! It's hard to compare everything because you aren't posing the same in both and of course have your face covered in the earlier one,…

Yeah, if you're looking to use this mostly for helping increase your level of endurance and toning up, you definitely have the right program and will for sure see improvements when it comes to those things and more! As for playing your own music, you don't have to memorize all or even any of the moves -- just get a general…

Thank you, everyone! Yep, I am. Maybe not right away, but I think I would like to try at least that Ripped in 30 (or whatever it's called) video...and maybe see some others of hers that are recommended. Right now, though, I plan on keeping things a lil' more on the fun side -- dance workout videos & such. I'm gonna…

Finally fixed the issue. Was trying to post pics from within a specific album from my Photobucket account, but for whatever reason, it wasn't letting me. So, re-uploaded 'em to the main "library", and wa-lah! Sorry for the temporary mishap.

I know. Trying to fix it :) Grr!

Nice! :)

I first couldn't see the pics in your original post, but now that I can in my last post "quoting" yours, awesome! Looks like you really put in the work and it's paid off. As more of I guess what they call an "apple" shape, I'm hoping I'll be able to create some sort of "hourglass" figure for myself once I'm closer to my…

Hehe yeah, it does look like an apple. To me, the way it looks reminds me of the baby you'd get if an apple hooked up with the more traditional pear most of us have come to know. And that's actually also the best way I can describe the taste -- it's kind of a cross between an apple and a regular pear. Sweeter, juicier and…

I tend to confuse plums and pluots -- what's the difference? And YES, Asian Pears are for sure pricey -- that's the only sucky part. Other than that, though, they're awesome!

Thank you, and will do! Haha, yeah, my scale is def. being annoying too. Thank you :) Yes, ma'am, same here -- definitely stronger and fitter, so we are for sure winning! :)

lol that is awesome -- I know how great that had to have felt. Good for you!
