I stopped drinking all that stuff and coffee too. I feel so much better only drinking water and one VitaminWater a day. All that stuff has a lot of toxins in it and makes your liver work twice as hard, and I have found it slows down the weight loss process.

I just read this over again, for like the 4th time, it makes me so teary, and proud of you!!! Love ya!

Such a great story! So proud of you for reaching your goals, not everyone in life can say that they made it happen. :smile: :smile:

So true! People said I couldn't stop smoking, almost 5 years YAY!! Then they said, you'll never stop drinking it's in your genes, YAY stop doing that too, now getting back down to highschool size, working on that and going to do it!!

We all have those days were you just want something bad for you. I have learned to never have anything in the house that is bad for me, that way I can't just sneak off and eat it. Now that I am eating better I don't crave those bad things even if someone is eating them right in front of me. Just take a long walk or go to…

I always drink my water after a meal because I don't want my food diluted too bad so I can digest it quicker and easier and feel better when I go to the gym

I actually take 4 kroger bottled waters and line them up in the fridgeevery morning, they are 16.9 oz, one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and take 1 to the gym that I usually drink all of and refill there at the water cooler.

Just my opion, I'm no doctor, but I think the BMI should have to take into consideration a person frame. Like do they have tiny bones, medium or large. I am trying to get ot 116 which is at the lowest of my bmi for my height, but I will be happy with 125, I just set my goal really high so I'll be more motivated. Looks like…

wow!!! You look great, and healthy too!!

it is a little hard to keep your balance at first, but they are really easy. When you wake up the next day you'll feel sore under your arms! I just work out the soreness with some more pushups!

good luck to you!!:smile:

I use it to do pushup, I lay on my stomach and hold my legs out behind me and do pushups with the ball. But they aren't as hard as real pushups...hmmm

I'm so glad I never eat out!!

You can add me! I love to have friends to chat with

Instead of eating a lot of carbs for your snacks, buy a bag of apples just a thought

cut out the white flour, white bread, white rice and all sugars, and you will see results. More muscle burns more fat so keep up the exercise! Don't get discouraged!

Good Luck! You can do it!!

I'm doing the Suzanne Somers Eat, Cheat and melt the fat away it's a healthy way to diet for life and a quick way to lose weight! Just eliminate the funky foods-white flour, white bread, white rice and sugar, and you'll lose it fast, plus add in exercise and you'll get there, maybe not the whole 15 but close!

Welcome, I'm a newby too, just started on here last Monday. Good luck to you and remember white flour, white rice, and sugars are our enemy!

this is a great site to get started and stay motivated!!

good luck!

Howdy, and good luck to you!

I do, and it's working out great. I'm doing the Suzanne Somer's no funky food diet.

I am doing the Suzanne Somers diet, that is very healthy, I lost down to my goal weight 7 years ago doing it, and there are some wonderful recipes in her book, Eat, Cheat, and melt the Fat away. I wish I had stayed with it, cause it is a great diet of food for life!
