Living a healthy life for me is a sense of accomplishment. There is so much junk and processed foods that we have to try to avoid and some can be so convenient or addictive.

Thank you so much to you both!! Yes planks and i have a love hate relationship lol and i learned different ways i can do squats as well.

Hi Ashley!! My name is Victoria. You can add me for support if you wish! I have similar goals as yourself!

Thank you for the feedback janicelo1971. I do struggle with sugar cravings and its really hard sometimes. I am hypoglycemic-something i recently found out. I try to eat something every two hours to keep my blood sugar levels decent and not want to crave sugar. It is slowly getting better. I have also started drinking…

Wow you all have been incredibly fantastic and I really appreciate the feedback and encouragement! I most certainly will not give up thats for sure. I feel most confident on "leg day" because that comes naturally. Its the arm/shoulders/back workouts that I get nervous of because I really do not want to hurt myself. I…

That sounds very interesting thank you so much, I will definitely look into the Stronglifts 5x5 program. Thank you so much for the recommendation! Much appreciated!

Thank you so much for the replies everyone! I certainly want to start lifting...wasnt sure if considering I have alot of weight to loose if I should lift heavy right away but its worth trying and see how I do. Thank you all again!

Hey There I am not too far off your goal, I am looking to get 80lbs off and also looking for support! If you would like to cheer each other on feel free to add me! Best wishes on your lifestyle change!!

I do the exact same and add peanut butter, it has also helped with the chocolate cravings.

Agreed!!! Bump!

You dont know how many thank yous I want to express right now! I have been at this for over 3months and with its ups and downs I weighed myself finally this morning to see a 1.5lbs gain. I didnt let it discourage me just like you. I will keep going and your story has been just what I need to hear to know it will eventually…

As other posters have mentioned you have a gut feeling its a matter of the evidence. Such a shame, I wish people had more respect.

AHAHAHAHA OMG Im sorry this is beyond hilarous! I have no idea how I would react if I walked in a room and my husband was doing that ahahahaha.

Thats exactly what I thought. There are soo many people who dont eat their calories back from a work out and I find the more I workout the more hungry I am and I tried to reduce the amount I ate back. Still working on whats best for me I guess. Thanks for the reply I appreciate it :)

Bump will send you a message and friend request later today. same situation as you.

Fantastic suggestions! Thank you so much! I did a great leg workout on Monday and decided not to do it again yesterday but instead do the C25K program and it was great to run again. For whatever reason I never considered breaking up my workout to do some early in the day and then later. What a great idea. Thank you all…
