I'm also a SAHM, and I've had eating problems my whole life. If it was there I had to eat it! I just don't keep the foods I can't put away, like potato chips, in the house. If I neeeeeed it I'll buy the 99 cent bags from the gas station. And I work out when my 18 month old is sleeping. Losing weight is never easy but…

Aw man I wish I thought to take before pics :( You look great!

2 inches in a month? That's amazing! I think you are doing great!

I'm Alicia and I'm on day 22 of Insanity! It's been difficult but not OMG I AM GOING TO PASS OUT difficult, buuuuuut we'll see how I feel about month 2 haha ><

The skinniest I've ever been was in junior high I was a size 9 at 5'4 (possibly 5'3 at the time) and 145 pounds. I personally don't want to get below a size 10. People want to be a size 4 because according to the fashion industry anything over a size 6 is plus sized which is ridiculous! I don't care about being "plus…

LMAO right? On this one forum this guy said his 90 year old neighbor drank a liter of diet soda a day and she has cancer, therefore it MUST be from the aspartame. Um she is 90 years old that is WAY past the average life expectancy. If aspartame is killing her it's taking its sweet time!!!

No it's a real thing, there have been studies saying that diet sodas with aspartame make you crave sweet foods. Fortunately it doesn't happen to me!

I would still go on the trip but I would avoid her like the plague! Like everyone else said she is toxic and her issues are not your cross to bear. I get that she is a good friend in other ways and you love her but sometimes for our own mental health we need to look out for ourselves.

LMAO at this whole thread. I'm married with two kids and I really don't even think of other guys in that way, especially internet guys, but I did see someone's profile pic today that made my ovaries tingle. He was seriously movie star sexy.

If I had a bikini I would put it on and take a pic to be funny. You would all run away screaming :p

A lot of people don't like it, I was raised on the stuff though. Seriously, when I was like 7 or 8 I remember diet coke being packed in my lunches. I just recently cut waaaaaay back on all aspartame products 2 weeks ago and I don't feel any different. By cut back I mean I went from drinking a gazillion cans of diet coke a…

Damn I need one of those in the Bay Area...

I see a major difference, especially in the one where you are standing sideways! Husbands can be funny like that sometimes :p

The extra skin, I am definitely going to need a body lift after I lose all this weight!

I was actually just thinking about getting a fitbit today so I googled it, and I found this forum post on here that helped me a lot: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/195062-fitbit-vs-hrm hope this is somewhat what you were looking for!

Great job!!!! I started out at 303 in April of last year and now I am 207! Just keep doing what you're doing!

Me me me!

Pizza Hut o:)

I've graduated from 30DS to Insanity... Sean T is REALLY out to kill you lol!

Sure why not, I'm a major geek. Also Buffy is my girl.

Wow thanks that was extremely easy to understand and didn't come off as condescending! I'm going to bookmark it lol

1.5 pounds in a week? That's really good! It took me years to realize this, but losing weight should be about being healthy, not just looking good. Anything more than 2 pounds a week is not recommended, so I think 1.5 pounds sounds great! Also like another poster said, don't compare yourself to others. Everyone is…

I like the Luna bars, probably because of the ridiculous amount of sugar though :p But if I'm going hiking I will usually buy some Cliff bars.

LMAO seriously! :laugh:

There is a vanilla flavored sleepytime tea that I drink at night when trying to curb sugar cravings, and it works! It doesn't put me to sleep but it does make me feel relaxed.

Good job!!!

You look amazing, I can definitely tell the difference especially in your back!

I don't see anything wrong with "cheat days" on extra special occasions, like Thanksgiving, Christmas, or maybe an occasional wedding because eating bad a couple days a year really will not hurt much in the long term. Just don't make a weekly, or even monthly habit out of it! :)

The trick is to start small so that you can build up immunities. Start out in small doses, like a sip here and a sip there then larger ones. I have been drinking diet soda since I was a child and I'm not dead yet so I can say that this works. However, if I find out I have cancer in the near future then this status is…

me! i've lost 90 already but i have 50ish more to go!
