For me, it is revisiting old pictures taken relatively recently that do not match my recollection of the picture at the time. I remember three years and 50 pounds ago I took a picture and thought I looked relatively normal. Now, I see my face was very round and could not believe that person was me! Its amazing to see how…

Wow this post spoke to me as I binged last night and the night before after doing well for the past month or so. I felt like absolute **** this morning. Thus, I drank an entire gallon of water and started eating as I normally would. I felt like a failure, but I realize that I'm worth it and quitting is not an option. Good…

I have been eating 1200 calories a day and working out for 2 hours a day for two days and not losing weight! Should I up my calories? Ok, I know that I can't spot reduce, but really...how do I spot reduce? Ugh, how can you even consider dairy...humans are the only animals that drink other animal's milk. X has too much…

Lift heavy.

I also watch The Biggest Loser on my smartphone via Hulu Plus while I run on the treadmill. Very motivating! I also get motivated after watching the movie Rocky or Floyd Mayweather working out, lol.

Showing an ex-girlfriend that they made a big mistake. The sweetest revenge is living well....Darius Rucker said it so you know it's real!

Tell yourself that you're worth putting in the work to get what you want. You're worth looking and feeling great. Many people try to get skinny to be happy. I discovered that it's easier to reach your goals when happiness is the cause instead of the effect. Good luck!!

Sure, I'll be your accountabil-a-buddy :) I'm adding you right now! Anyone else feel free to add me as well!

I either have black beans and eggs or a pepperoni pizza lean pocket with string cheese every morning during the week. I then incorporate greens and protein into every meal afterwards (chicken, steak or both). I snack on Quest Bars, string cheese, and low calorie chicken sandwiches when I'm hungry between meals. Also, I…

I generally have dessert after dinner. For dinner, I have a lean protein with lots of greens; this makes it easier to eat fewer calories for dessert. I have the 100 calorie Klondike ice cream sandwiches. Also, I have Quest bars for snacks when I'm on the go; some complain that they're too tough. To deal with this, I put it…

Water and fiber.

Try Quest Bars from GNC. Godsend.

I've been on everyday for the past month and don't plan on stopping! Feel free to add me! That goes for everyone else here who needs motivation!

24 here...I started about a month ago and feel great! Feel free to add me!

When I realized that I had been chasing the effect instead of the cause. In essence, losing weight was not going to make me mentally tough or miraculously change my point of view. When I realized that I first had to reform my mentality and looked inward, I was able to find the mental fortitude I never thought I had. At…

String cheese and water usually do the trick. If you are sick of water by that point, try Vitamin Water Zero. You might also want to look into Quest bars- many on these forums have recommended them so I went out to GNC and bought some for the week. They are also pretty satisfying. Good luck!!!!

Food manufacturers are at fault for manufacturing something according to public demand? Also, serving sizes are dictated by the FDA, not arbitrarily set by Kellogg's etc. No one other than us is to blame for the food we put in our mouths. [/quote] ^^^^^^ This

steak and broccoli

Klondike 100 calorie ice cream sandwiches. I have this for dessert almost every night and it's great!!!

I have two nieces around your kids' ages who never seem to run out of energy. I've coached youth soccer before; thus, when they come over, I set up 4 cones around 10 yards apart from each other on a straight line. One at a time, I have them run to the first cone, come back, run to the second cone, come back, and so on.…

I would go to a local running store and make sure you get a pair a shoes that 1. Fit and 2. Can correct any pronation issues you might have. Fitting is important, because too much friction can lead to painful blisters after you start increasing your mileage. For a cheaper option, try any athletic shoe but get an Archmolds…

I stayed below my calorie goal everyday for two weeks. At that point I thought it would be a good idea to try a cheat day; however, I felt like absolute crap the next day. Pizza, wings, and cheese fries were my dietary staples before I decided to eat better. I didn't feel guilty, but my body rebelled against me and it felt…
