Great progress everyone

I have had my hair super long and super short. I prefer it about to the top of my shoulders, I think that is the best for my facial features. I think long hair sometimes drags a person's appearance down and makes them look older. Shorter hair just seems to revive your face. Just do it, you might love it and if you don't it…

I could eat a whole bag (of any kind) of potato chips by myself. I knew it was time to get it under control when I would eat a supersized McDonald's meal and it wouldn't satisfy me so I was starting to think about order 2 meals at a time. That's when I had to put my foot down!

You look amazing, Congrats!! Love the new haircut and the red shoes!

It seems a little disrespectful to me. I'm with you, I don't mind my husband looking (he's married, not dead). But if he is going to comment it doesn't need to be in my presence. To me that would be something he would do with his buddies.

I've tried it both ways, not exercising and exercising during that TOM and the months that I exercised (even lightly) I could really tell a difference physically and emotionally. Physically the cramps were't that bad, I wasn't as tired, and I didn't eat everything in sight. Emotionally it was better also. The big black…

Wow! 40 lbs. is a lot but until you actually see the difference it makes you really don't think it is that much. You look terrific!

I saw 180 on the scale today I am only 5'4". I WILL start changing my life tomorrow!

My pants are too tight (I refuse to go to the next size up!), my bras are too tight, I am getting out of breath at the slightest activities, I don't feel well. I'm starting to go through menopause (I'm sure extra weight makes it worse!) I just don't like myself anymore.

I remember when I first tried Jullian Michael's 30 day shred. I didn't even make it thru the warm up, I was huffing and puffing . The next try I thought I was going to throw up and laid down on the couch three different times. I decided I would do as much as I could do on each exercise and make it through the DVD. Each…

I'm a sweater too. I envy people that get "that glow" when working out. When I work out it is not a pretty site!

You look gorgeous! His loss!

I just started the 30ds. I am starting out slow. I am soooo out of shape! I have a curves member ship for another month so I am doing curves for 30 minutes and fast walking at least 20 minutes three days per week. I started doing the 30ds the other three days and resting on one day. The first day I did the 30ds shred I was…

You have definately won the prize for best/funniest response!!:laugh:

I was the same way. I would decide to "diet" and do good all day and then in the evening I would just go overboard and not even really want all the things I put into my mouth until I went to bed. I would promise myself that I would "really start" tomorrow and keep repeating the same process over and over again. I feel that…

Such a wonderful thread, so inspiring. Everyone looks amazing! I think I can do this now!

Congratulations! Really look amazing!

You can see a big difference, especially in your under arms. Congrats!

WOW, WOW, WOW.

My husband does this to me too. He brings home sweets that he knows I love but he doesn't like. If it is in the house I will eat it! So I limit myself to one a day and if the craving gets too bad and I start to slip up, I just throw the rest of it away. I know a waste but it makes me feel better that I didn't eat it!

Yes, if there was a promise my husband wouldn't find out! :laugh: (Just kidding, maybe).

The show me state....Missouri

Awww, my last few months in the 40s. I am 49 will be 50 in Oct.

I always try to pre-log my food and exercise for the day. This helps me to stay on track. Otherwise I tend to want to skip excercise "just that day" and if I pre-log I know I have to exercise to keep my numbers straight.

You all are so inspiring and everyone looks so much younger!!! I am 5'4" and weigh 172 pounds. I will be 50 on October 28th. My goal is to lose 40 pounds by my 50th birthday (sooner if possible). This would mean losing 5 pounds per month to obtain my goal!! I think even I can do that much!! And if I lose it before my…

Amazingly inspiring and so funny!

You look great! Congratulations

A piece of fruit usually does the trick. Or tea with a tsp of honey, or 1 (only one) funsized candy bar.

You're truly amazing, you look wonderful!!!

I will eat anything I want. "How much" I eat of what I want will be different this year. I am planning on putting more healthy foods on the table (like a vegetable & fruit tray, replacing yeast rolls with wheat rolls) along with the other traditional foods, this way I have more of a choice. I will also take a walk after…
