You need to let your body lose at its own rate. I lost at about 5 lbs a week for the first 4 weeks. Then I went to about 3-5 for another month. Now I am much slower. I lost 70 lbs in a year. I now lose weight at about 1-2 lbs a month. The body will regulate and you need to switch it up. Try doing different exercises or add…

Welcome! This site will help you find what you need. Tons of support and great advice out here.

I don't seem to cut off anything that I like to eat. I eat chocolate, drink beer, drink alcohol, eat carbs... just in moderation. Instead of the 2 lb bag of m&m's I get 2 or 3 pieces. It works for me. AND when I want a HO HO... I eat them. If I don't I tend to fall off the wagon big time.

I drink one a day. Muscle Mike lite with a cup of frozen berries. Yummy.

You're looking fantastic! I am preparing for swimsuit season now too. Why wait until May? hahaha

I'm am 5'10 and going for 180.

Welcome to the site. It has really helped me keep on track. Good luck on your journey.

As long as the pic is a real one- I have no preference. To have a cartoon from time to time is fun, but you must have at least 1 pic of who you are.

I went through the P90x program as well. I loved it. I just can't seem to get the hips and thighs to get smaller. The rest of my body is tone. I carry all my weight in 1 area. :mad:

I limit my carbohydrates. But I eat almost anything. Portion control and exercise is the key to my success. 70 lbs in 1 year. It was a lot of sweat!

I am reading that book too

It must be the season... I gain 5 lbs and feel weak. I feel like I lost muscle and gained a muffin top. I went through the OMG moment too this month. Glad you are back.

I am completely addicted to sugar. It is hard but I will be able to kick the habit.

Very awesome.

I take things one day at a time. Good luck!

Go for a walk and see how you feel. Don't over do it. Wow- did I really tell you that?! Better rest up for our next workout. ;)

I am far from perfect, but I rock! I am normally pretty happy with myself . My happiness comes from within me and isn't based on my looks or weight. I am happy with me because of the footprint I will leave behind when I leave this world. This is way too deep for this site, but at least it is a honest answer.

I take a multi-vitamin and calcium pills. Otherwise hard work, exercise, and sensible eating.

Amazing! Truly amazing!

I only sleep a few hours a night so my eyes open around 2-3 am. It sucks. The thought of just laying there is what motivates me to get up. This probably doesn't help but I also am motivated to get up and moving because I want to make sure that I do get my workout in. I sometimes don't have time after work so I make the…

I limit my carbs on a regular basis. But when I do eat carbs, I make them count. I have never heard to eat them with protein. Strange.

I eat pretty clean as well. Don't get me wrong, once every few weeks I splurge. I am far from an angel.

I take Gluetimine I think it is it. It helps move or block the acid build up in the muscles. I have been on it for a few day and I take it at night or after a workout. Too soon to say if it is working. I mix it into the protein shake.

Let's do it!

It gets better in time... no worries. I found it was all about effort.

Awesome job! I lost 70 in 1 year. It is an amazing feeling. You rock!

Let's see some skin guys!

I find it hard to accept them as well. I try smiling and just saying thank you.

This place is filled with support! You will love it.

Tons of support here! Good luck!
