Hi there! I walked an 8 mile hike and I placed my phone and keys in my back pocket. I brought 2 bottles of water but a friend of mine who has done that hike before held that. I recommend Naturehike Outdoor Backpack- its like $20 on amazon, hope that helps. Definitely wear pants with zippers so nothing falls if you don't…

This. I love this and the Vanilla I have either or every morning in my smoothie

no

Love this thanks!!!

This! I prefer early AM and people will look regardless of anything. Hey, you're looking at me whilst I look like this waking up a 4 AM and getting my gym on- your problem buddy, not mine.

$30 per month for me and $40 for my mom at 24 hr Super Sport so for two it's doable but I wouldn't pay $70 just for myself.....unless it included a make up artist and a complimentary post work out massage spa lol. Good luck!

Currently drinking McD diet sweet ice tea....sipping as I type...

You got this! One step at a time, stay hydrated and log your meals. I keep reminding myself no matter the changes in life- keep going. Best of luck!

After losing 81 pounds I have slowly been rising.... :neutral: FML I got so lazy and loved my addiction to...sweet ice teas and coffee!!! I've gained 15 pounds since then and I know when I am ready I will go back and all it takes is one step at a time. I joined a weight loss challenge program near my work to slap me into…

This is absolutely awesome and I'm rooting for you!! As long as you are happy with it then you are already on the right track! You got this!!! Great job on the water intake that's so beneficial :)

I agree with you on this, has this affected weight loss in any way? Any stalls or plateaus? I lost 70 pounds and have been fluctuating up and down. Currently my goal is to just be active daily and gain stamina for the 5k and aim watching what I eat- the 80/20 so I was wondering how the 5x a week and eating post work out is…

Thank you everyone for your input, I appreciate that! I don't always take my pre work out drink each day, depends on how I feel and the time I have to work out. I'll keep going with what feels right and if I feel weaker I'll try eating before. Will keep on trying my best each day! :)

Congrats keep up the great work!! :)

My highest was 238 in 2011 so that's when I started. I've lost over 70 pounds but gained so currently down 66 pounds. I have to keep trying day by day and set mini goals. Aiming for 4-6 pound loss a month yet I am okay with no weight loss as long as I am active daily. Yeah weight loss is everyone's goal yet I want to gain…

Love that lip color 5!

GREAT JOB! You look beautiful both before and after!

I would day nutrition takes the lead and excercise helps the body nourish the food as fuel and keeps the mind/hormones balanced so you don't feel crazy. This reminder helped me when I was craving processed crap and each and every day it got easier and now I don't crave certain things. Hope this helped!

Congratulations! Every step is towards success! :)

FINALLY broke my weight plateu and lost 7 pounds in 5 weeks! I don't notice anything changed except muscle tonage but I still feel like I did when I was almost 240 pounds which isn't good. I love my body and then I have those days like "lose a damn pound already!!" I learned I was consuming too few cals so I upped it and…

Hmm after losing 70 pounds my chest- remained the same but it went from 38 C to 36 C so the inches where getting slim but the size remained the same. I can wear sports bra, regular bra and push up bra fine. Now I must say being 26 I feel it has sagged a bit but it keeps my posture on point and I am rewarding myself with VS…

Congratulations!! Seeing that you can attain this goal with the boost of preparing for your big day is an explosion of motivation!!!! You can do this!!!! :) Feel free to add me as a friend would love to keep each other on track!

After almost 4 years of an unhealthy relationship, I HAD to leave to better my health. He was unmotivated, smoking and selling illegal substances for a living, drinking his parent's alcohol and passing out naked, kept getting fired from jobs, refused to join MA and AA until I finally left, and dropped out on the classes…

I will never forget this but I can look back and laugh...or cringe. My dad's uncle saw me after I lost about 40 pounds and he said "you look so pretty now! You used to have a big stomach but such a pretty face!" My dad was so mad and I appreciate when he said "My daughter has always been beautiful no matter what size! You…

No it will not inhibit your weight loss. Protein will keep you fuller longer and my doctor told me to aim for 30 grams of protein for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 90 grams of protein at least- that's hard lol! So I have a protein shake for breakfast then try to aim for 60 grams of protein. Just focusing on that has made me…

SO many factors but the biggest reason was for me to be happy in my skin. I am overall a happy person but insecure. Losing weight, feeling good about myself, treating myself better in ways OTHER than food is my motivation. Clothes- my best friend got me a sweater from Hollister and I never fit in there before and I do now-…

I've taken melatonin a few times when I have to sleep early for work for example sleep at 7pm to get wake up at 3am. I guess they work, they are non addictive and I don't think about it ever. I suggest you try it.
