Hi! I'm also looking for a fresh start and more motivation and support :)

Hi I'm Shivani. I've lost and gained weight. I want to get back down to my goal weight. I have 15-18 lobs to lose. I'm at 138/139 right now and I'd like to be in between 120 and 125 ideally. I am 5'4" and I'm not in bad shape.. consistency is my main problem! Feel free to add me :)

nope, cant see the pics...but great job!!

Than you!

Seems like you have been eating too little for too long. I'm going to venture to say adding cardio isn't going to help. I would suggest a metabolism reset for 2 weeks and then focusing on TDEE - 250 calorie deficit and sticking with that for at least 3 weeks.

You look great! Good job!

I used to NEVER eat breakfast because I was never in the mood. One day I just started forcing myself to do it and now I will run late in the AM but I HAVE to eat before I leave the house. I know it's hard but just force yourself to do it everyday - just a small bowl of cereal - and eventually your body will signal it self…

Hi! Yes, you really should eat back all of your calories since you are at the 1200 level. When I first started here I didn't know this information and it has helped me out a lot so I thought I would pass it on now that I know it. Hopefully I'm not being redundant if you already know all of this! You should know the meaning…

I started at 140, am currently 129 and looking to get to 122. I'm 5'4' I've been vegetarian my whole life. I eat 1700 calories a day of healthy things - cheese, fruit, greek yogurt, legumes, beans, rice, cereals, and what ever I feel like for dinner. I eat the same breakfast lunch and snacks almost everyday. It's…

great job so far!

Amazing work! What is your diet and exercise plan? ! Also, if you don't mind me asking - did you have any lipo or other treatments done (sorry I know it's personal!)

There are wedding groups on here - join one, they're fun!

Congratulations!!! What an awesome accomplishment!!!

You look awesome!!

Wow, amazing - thanks for sharing :)

I've been wondering for a while now so I've started to record what it says everyday and then in 5 weeks (from last Monday) I'll see where I end up :)

I imagine my future "fit" self when I do insanity and when I'm running I imagine myself crossing the finish line at my first half marathon and thinking about how amazing that moment is going to feel.

Awesome work! You've done GREAT! We have pretty similar goals - get into the low 120s, I'm also doing insanity, and I eat 1700 cals a day :) You look great!!!

To motivate myself I just remember that every little bit counts. When I don't feel like exercising I just tell myself to go for a 2 minute walk around the block. Usually once I've gone around the block I want to keep going but if not - hey, I did my 2 minutes and I'll start again tomorrow. Don't look at it as starting one…

I have been at this for about 10 weeks now and gone from 1200 cals to 1700 cals and am finally at a point where I feel confident I can maintain what I'm doing forever. Here are my rules: 1. Eat 2 servings of whole fruit and 3 servings of whole veggies (minimum) per day 2. Make my protein goal using natural sources (i'm…

Too late to join? I started Saturday. What is the reason behind limiting the number of people in the group - just curious? Is there anything special you're looking for in this group?

You look awesome! Way to go! Your hard work has paid off!!

ME! I have less then 10 to my goal. I had about 18 lbs to lose to start with. I lost the first 8lbs in about 8 weeks. But I think the last 10 are going to take me double or triple the time...

What is your current plan?

Have you tried starting a melatonin regiment? Consult your physician first, of course - but when I had trouble sleeping at the time I wanted my doc told me to take melatonin at the same time everynight as I was trying to sleep to get my sleep cycle on the right path. Also, when do you work-out during the day?

Maintaining now. Great work! Just the inspiration I was looking for! You've done awesome!

My exact stats!!! I would love to see someone's b/s pics with our stats! I'm 5'4" and currently at 130.8 lbs

1 cup non fat greek yogurt 1/2 cup strawberries (or any berry) 1/2 of a mango or banana 1/4 cup fat free milk blended with a few drops of stevia if the fruit isn't already really ripe! High protein, low fat - my fav post work out smoothie.

I got a perm last summer to give my hair some type of texture... I wish I could take it back because breakage increased for sure. But I have think hair that is a little longer than waist length :)

I had a cardio kickboxing instructor who was obese and I LOVED his class. It was the most popular class at the gym, he brought a great energy and the class kicked my butt and everyone else's butt too! He didn't always do everything full out but he expected us to and pushed us like crazy. So yeah, I would if they had a…
