New to the group! Thanks so much! I have been trying to figure this one out!

This is an awesome post! I was actually in a travelling hula hoop club when I was in middle school and boy did it give us a workout. I am inspired to pick it up again and add it to my weight loss and workout plan! Thanks! Does anyone know where I can get a good quality one?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing! That sounds delish! Can't wait to try it!

Hi! I too fell off the wagon once upon a time and have been back for a couple of weeks with much more support from family! I have added you and a few others here. Any of you feel free to add me as well. We can only help each other for the better!

This may be a better plan! I like your thinking Linda!

Wow Sam! I am impressed! I have never thought to make my own!

Run while you can! Don't get sucked in now. Its only been 3 weeks and you are young. Chances are you may not end up together anyway. Get out while you can. Live a little. Enjoy college without having to sneak around. You are an adult and will do what you want, but his mother doesn't see him as an adult yet. Good Luck!

That is awful and I hate to tell it doesn't happen to anyone else, but something very similar happened to a friend of mine not too long ago. The only difference is it was a car of college boys. Keep at what you are doing and realize they may one day have some weight issues and think back to this and finally feel some…

Wow! What an inspiration you are! Any tips you want to share?

Totally agree with you Lyerin!

I feel like there's always a new study saying do this or that and it will kill you. Well next week the next scientist comes out with another study proving the first one wrong. I think that diet Soda is better than regular soda. Neither are natural and probably aren't really good for you, but at least with diet you aren't…

I would like to lose 100lbs! I have been on here for awhile, but was side tracked by an injury and then multiple surgeries. I would love the support too! So anyone feel free to add me too!

I too have a 5 year old and work more than full time. I am a photographer and work for myself, so the work never ends. When not on a shoot my job is like a desk job and I want to lose at least 80lbs. I have added all of you as friends. The support of other mamas sure will help me!

I like to have Egg Beaters with non-stick spray and half a wedge of laughing cow cheese. Its creamy, delicious and incredibly low on calories. Its only like 40 or so calories and makes me feel like I had a good breakfast!

I had lost almost 15 and then had to have surgery and gained some back. I am back on the band wagon and ready to lose more than 60! Looking forward to sharing the trip with you! Sent you a friend request!

Hi! I have a almost 5 year old and am trying to lose so I can have another! Melissa

I use store brands all the time. I am a dieting coupon girl and can save a lot of money and still lose that way. I also shop at Kroger a lot and have found their store brands to be fine! Good Luck!

You look amazing! What an inspiration you are to the rest of us! Thank you so much for sharing. What tips can you share with the rest of us? What worked and didn't work for you?

I do my best to get 8 glasses a day and honestly I fill a jug with crushed ice and water sometimes I add some Mio for a splash of flavor and just work on it all day. I drink to big jugs (32oz) each, so when the first is done I just refill it and start again! I don't beat myself up if I don't drink it all and just begin…

Liquid Egg Whites with half a piece of Laughing Cow Cheese. I make a little omelet. Its good, quick and easy. Plus its really light!

Just remember when you first get started the weight usually comes off easier than in the subsequent weeks. Also a pound is a pound. Do that 100 times and you will have lost 100 lbs! Don't be discouraged! You are doing great!

I did not find success on WW. I am doing much better on My Fitness Pal. Its so much easier to count calories than the formula and in my opinion WW is designed to make you lose weight S L O W. They are in the business to make money, therefore do not want you to lose too quickly. Not that I want to lose quickly! I actually…

I am sorry to hear that your family is not supportive. They should be cheering you along the whole way! I am fortunate that my hubby is also trying to lose. He's doing a different plan than me, but also trying and losing. We have found that when we do it together that we are more successful. Does your other half need to…

I cook all the time, so I put my foods in as meals and then when I make that same dish I can add it as a meal. I find it saves me a lot of time in the long run.

I use a lot of chicken. I buy Perdue usually because the boneless skinless breasts are thick. I can then butterfly them and get twice as much out of the package. I also have been adding more veggies into all of my dishes and less meat, which helps with my weight loss and pocket! Are you looking for specific recipes and…

I eat the same few breakfasts. I rotate between a few every week. Lunch and dinner I mix up more though. I try to make a new recipe at least once a week when I am not traveling. It keeps it fresh for me and it works well with my family too! If its working for you go for it as long as you are getting balanced meals with…

The exercising isn't usually an issue since I am on my feet moving people & stools for about 10-15 hours a day, but found in the past that I just ate terribly. I am so dedicated now I don't want to lose my momentum.

Married 8.5 years and together 16!

That is awesome! So excited for you and hope to join you soon!!
