Thank you for your answers... I hope that helps. I feel so bulky and unfeminine sometimes.

I'm young. I am only 20, but I gained a lot of weight from being at college and what not. When in high school I played water polo, danced, and have been swimming since I was five. Long story short... I have A LOT of muscle and I don't feel feminine anymore. I have the muscle in my arms and my thighs. I truly do not have…

Aw, that's awesome! You have talent, haha. : ) :tongue:

We all missed you too! I hope you had an amazing weekend. :heart: Steph

I'm a college student too, it's hard passing on that late night pizza... :cry:

I've had problems with depression for years and realized that my eating excessively was due to depression. I am a little more sad at times because I do not fall back on chocolate, but now that I'm seeing changes in my body and have dropped 12 pounds- I feel amazing... Be patient and with time you'll get out of this moment…

I was actually terribly sad when I didn't see the post! :cry: Thanks for starting it up this week... this is my motivation! Starting Weight (Of My Lifestyle Change): 187 lbs.

My pounds have come off quite quickly, but sometimes I might have a week with no loss... SO: I shock my system by having a day where I eat more calories. Your body speeds up your metabolism to make up for the more you are consuming.

For some reason it's fixed now... thanks everyone!

No help? :cry:

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all having a good summer so far... :glasses: I was looking at my profile and yesterday it said I had dropped a certain amount of pounds and today it dropped, but I actually lowered my check-in weight so the number of pounds dropped should have increased... what did it say I've lost less?…

I work at Lowe's in the Garden section and am always moving, always lifting, and always doing something. I do not work out because like you I work over 40 hours a week and am dead tired when I have a break, but I have been losing weight constantly and like that I don't have to jump on the treadmill for an hour. I'm not…

Thank you for this new feature, it was sure needed! :smile:

Wow, you have some deep feelings about love. It's refreshing to hear from a man. All you Boys posting are great...

The same thing happened to me, I weighed in yesterday at 179 and today I'm 180... it's a little strange. I thought I would of gone down a little more, but NO!

Starting Weight: 183 lbs. Current Weight: 180.2 lbs. Goal By End of Summer: 155 lbs. Overall Goal: 130 lbs. Loss/Gain: -2.8 lbs. :smile: Good luck this week, we can do it!

I have taken it before and it did not doing anything for me. I have been diagnosed with insomnia though and I have to take something truly strong to knock me out.

Also 10% off mulch if you are doing any garden work.

I work at Lowe's in Illinois and it's at every Lowe's and probably Home Depot as well.

I weigh myself every day right after I go to the bathroom and stand on the scale in my underwear and bra so that it is always constant. Mine seems pretty constant and accurate, BUT I always take my measurement as well.

I took Slim Quick and it actually worked, but with hard work as well. Just gave a little boost and made me less hungry. I have seen the packets in the store next to the pills and you can give them a try... Just be careful.

I am not too sure about that. I guess it's possible... perhaps you are losing pounds in your face and arms or places where you can't tell by your belt. I hope to hear more answers because I'd love to know as well. Good luck! :tongue:

As everyone said... The Biggest Loser Cardio and Strength DVD's will whip you into shape.

I hope it is alright if I can join. I just saw this, "Surviving Summertime Weight Loss Challenge" right now and it looks amazing! Today's Weight: 183 lbs. Goal By End of Summer: 155 lbs. (I'm here for 14 weeks till I go back to school, so 2 pounds a week is around a weight loss of 28 pounds... it's hard a goal, but I'm…

It's totally possible to drop a lot to start with, but don't get sad or discouraged when the scale only shows 1-2 pounds a week because it will even out. Congrats and keep up the fantastic work, you can do this! :smile:

I love popcorn and use my Orville Redenbacher's (SP?) one very frequently... :smile: Throw in the amount of popcorn you want, plug it in, and out comes popcorn. No oil and it's so simple to clean up, just throw away any kernels that did not get popped (there are usually one or two) and wipe clean with a paper towel if you…

I TRY not to have them, but sometimes it's either too hard to avoid... or you are just craving that special something. I do believe it's good to have a cheat day every once in awhile. It boosts your metabolism. Your body gets so used to eating 1,200 or how ever amount of calories each day and when you eat a significant…
