I just saw on your Stats you started in August 2012. I'm glad to see it was slow, which I'm sure contributed to how tight your skin looks. My doctor told me that's why it's best to lose 1-2 lbs per week. Not only is this healthy, but the chances of maintaining your goal weight are greater. I've seen people who lose it too…

Incredible! You look amazing. I'm 5'3 and over 200lbs this gives me hope and motivation. How long did it take you to lose the weight?

Thanks for the responses and honest insight! I'm going to try it for a month to see how it goes.

WOW!!! Congratulations! You're proof what dedication and 1 year of it can do! I needed some motivation and this really made me see that it's possible. You look absolutely AMAZING! :)

I agree with Meerkat70. You're calorie intake is too low for a male. I'm 42 year-old, 5'3 female and my calorie intake is 1500! Also, if you're working out regularly, you need to track your exercise because you gain calories to add to your daily caloric total. This will help so you can eat more. Listen to your…

I recently bought the DVD's and love them! I have attended a few classes. They're fun, but if you're a beginner they can be difficult. The first time I took a few classes I felt like I had 2 left feet compared to everyone else in the class. The insturctor assurred me that it would get better with time. I agree with other…

I was diagnosed with Insulin Resistance in June. It's basically the step before Type 2 Diabetes. My dad is an insulin dependant diabetic. This will be my future if I don't get my blood sugar under control. I found out that people generally have Insulin Resistance for years before they get the offical diabetes diagnosis. If…

Here's an example of what I eat: Breakfast: Veggie Omelet fresh fruit Lunch: Grilled Chicken salad ( I love the Wendy's new Almond Berry Salad and Quiznos' Harvest Chicken Salad) Dinner: Lean meat (fish, chicken) Steamed vegetables and/or salad Snacks (varies) I mix fat free cottage cheese with a low carb/sugar yogurt…

Don't give up! Sometimes we are our own worst enemies! Like you I have a bad habit of stepping on the scale daily. I'm trying to wean myself of this because weight fluctuates daily. You should weigh yourself once a week. I started weighing every other day and next week I'll weigh every third day and will do this weekly…

Thanks for this information! I'll definitely check out the site. My doctor gave me the choice to take the glucophage since my fasting glucose rate was a little above 100. She felt the medication would help to control my insulin levels so that I would be more succesful with my weight loss. My goal is to be off it within the…

Add more protein to your diet. Protein will stay with you longer.

If it helps, I've been on glucophage for a month and I'm down about 10 lbs. I've also been counting calories. I have a long way to go to get to my goal, so I need all the help I can get! I'll make sure to add you.

I was in a similar situation. No matter how many calories I cut or excercised, I would lose very little weight and I was actually gaining! Very frustrating!!! I mentioned my situation to my OB/GYN who suggested I have lab work done. You indicate you have an underactive thyroid. Are you on any medication for this? My OB…

Awesome! I'm definitely going to try these. Thanks for sharing! :)
