I like the Fear or Love reference.... my baby brother just left for the Marines and my love and respect pushes me everyday to to do well and work my heart out so that when he sees me again he will be so impressed and surprised.... Love is what pushes me... fear will just tear you down and keep you from even trying... I…

Bump... I just downloaded Couch To 5k... I am not a runner at all but I want to try. Personally I want to start early in the morning so it isn't so hot. I walked my first 5K and was pretty disappointed that it took me an hour. I'm looking for tips as well, thank you for making this post :)

Closest one so far :) I'm 29... 5;3... Starting weight 254... Current weight 235.... Goal weight 150 would LOVE to see 135 again.

Female, 29 235 lbs 5'3

I my goal is 1200 a day and with meal replacement shakes and healthy eating I normally stick pretty close to it... some days I eat 1300 or 1400 but I try to never go over 1500... Feel free to add me.. I'm always looking for new friends :)

I need friends as well. I get fixated on a number I see on the scale and decided I can't lose the weight and start sabotaging my fitness goals... I don't know why I do it. A year ago I lost 35 pounds but now a year later I've only kept 14 of it off... It's like I'm afraid to lose the weight and start slacking... I…

I'm 28 and the only one of my friends left that hasn't had children. I, in some ways, feel like its too late to have kids for me. I don't want to be that gray haired lady that goes to parent teacher meetings and everyone thinking I am this child's grandparent... I love that I can do what I want when I want... I love…

I'm far from a fitness guru so I've just been doing what works for me so far. I'm not good at venturing out into the gym because I'm not exactly sure how to us all of the equipment and I stay away from the gym trainers because they try to force a fitness package on you which at the time I cannot afford. I have my calorie…

The way the article I read explained it, was that since you are wearing a sweater it forces your body to work harder to try and cool your body down which makes your heart rate go up and that helps burn more calories/fat since your heart rate is higher.

28/F Height: 5'4'' Heaviest: 254 Lightest: 135 Current: 228 Goal: 150 Ultimate Goal: To be 135 again

Thank you for this thread... I was starting to think something was wrong with me... Has anyone had problems with their fingers going numb at times too? :-/ Maybe I just have really poor circulation. I feel much better reading this though :-)

If I spend an hour on the elliptical I burn around 800 calories then spending some time on the treadmill can burn 200 in 30 depending on speed and incline.... Not to mention weights and other equipment used... If I spend an hour and a have at the gym, depending on what I do, I can burn 1000 cals easy

Thanks for sharing.... I started out at 254 and my goal is 150/135ish .... I've lost 33 pounds since March. I've fallin of track and trying to get back on trackmus hard. You're an inspiration!

Simply amazing.... such an inspiration!!!!

The Glow Run looks like so much fun!! I am doing the Color Me Rad one in September :-) I donno how much of a run it will be... I'm not much of a runner so I may be walking a lot. One day.....

It looks like a lot of fun... they are also having a GLOW RUN... It looks awesome... I think I am going to start running and make these my new hobby. All of the proceeds go to a different charity and you get to have a blast doing it. Such a great idea! I am doing the one in September. I hope to be able to run most of it…

Thank you all for your comments... I'm glad to see that I am not alone :-)

Loose Skin and Flabby Arms...

Oh My!!!! Congrats! You look AMAZING!

I'm going to school for Cosmetology ;-)

@RockaholicMam ... Teacher

I eat 1200 calories hey day but I also sleep a good portion of my day away since I work 3rd shift I get off work at 7 a.m. and then sleep usually until 4 p.m. midnight is my start over day and I usually bring low calorie snacks to work to snack on at night I use slim fast meal replacement shakes that are 200 calories for…

I just hit my 30 pound mark in 2 months ... I lost 12 pounds the first week just by completely changing my diet cold turkey and exercising.... no boxed dinners I prepare everything fresh. I workout and count my calories. I keep my calories count around 1290ish but I will go over it if there is a special event. You cant…

Finish the C25K ... I always quit in the middle because its so hard for me... I've never been a runner but I want to do the Color Run in Indy next year and I actually want to RUN it...

My thing is why can't plus sized women have the same cute things that the thinner people have? Why should we be look like we are wearing tarps for clothes or look like an 80 year old with floral print... Its whatever... I plan on losing the weight and you bet I will probably be in this store when I get where I want to be…

I workout at the gym and I spend anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour on the elliptical and 30 min to an hour on the treadmill I also use the machines for my arms and legs and I do some work out videos like the biggest loser and 30 day shred

I'm losing around 1-3 pounds a week and am not doing anything but counting calories and exercising for no more than 4-6 hours a week so I don't think I am over doing it... I think I need a trainer but I can't afford one

I go by what the machine says because I input my weight and age in and it calculates it that way. I do the weight loss option on it and in 30 min. I burn around 350-400 calories depending on how much I push myself. Sometimes I do this for an hour and it gives me a great burn. I absolutely love the elliptical it doesn't…

HaHa.... I have heard of some of the places you all are talking about but I live in such a small town this is all we have.... We have Arbys, Wendys, Burger King, Dairy Queen, Long John Silvers, KFC, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Subway, and like 4 pizza places LoL
