the people I have met on here and the constant support and encouragement :)

I agree with the first post. Nothing feels better than a fantastic work out and then putting on jeans you were not able to fit into last week now are perfect :)

Congratulations! and welcome! Im soo happy for you. :happy:

I just bought Maurice's im obsessed with that store now( expensive) only shopped once and It will be my once in awhile store :) But I usualy buy my jeans at Walmart( Lei) or Old Navy.. But I dont like skinny jeans and I usually have to buy petite and short. I currently am wearing petite and short(first time in 5 years :) )…

thats great! its always nice if your significant other can do this with you(whether they need to or not) its great support :) and props to you too! :love:

what does your hubby do that you are staying in a hotel?

Well I calculated mine online and when I started this whole thing in the begining of Jan my trainer measured my BMI using some computer thing( held it and it measured me) and i was 41.. I just did it now and I am 36.. so it is defiantely going down!:tongue:

Folding laundry I dont know why but i can;'t stand it yes I would take washing the bathroom over that anyday.

Well My first goal I wanted to loose 30lbs by the time my husband comes home at the end of March(i've lost 13lbs so far, I started the begning of January) but i decided I will be happy with loosing 20lbs by the time he comes home. I have never lost that much before so i will be happy with that. My ultimate goal is to loose…

thats great to know thank you!

I have a huge celectic arrangment. I have 50s music to 80s music, 90s pop, today's hits.But generally I like something that has a good beat. I listen to a lot of 80s(GnR,Journey,Led Zeplin) sometimes I listen to metal(disturbed, Soil, only because my husband does lol )

Good for you! sounds like a jerk anyway :)

sounds good, and my husband would like it too:) thanks for sharing :)

are you talking about on yourself or the opposite sex? I dont mind a 6 pack but not really ripped either. On myself oh yes I would love to have a 6 pack, maybe next life lol. I like a guy with a little bulk. My husband is broad so his shoulders are pretty big, he is working on the six pack lol.

ya I agree with another post, I think I missed something lol :)

Oh that is fantastic! You are definately an inspiration me and to many others I am sure. Your wife looks great too! I am so happy you took the time, effert to loose weight the right way. I have no problems with people having gastric bypass,however I think they should try and loose weight first. I know first hand someone…

thanks for your opnions :) and im not a coffee drinker but thanks :)

I do push ups. I've started to see a lot of difference in my back, and i do free weights for arms and shoulders. More to tone up though. Good Luck!

i stretch all the time lol. I have really tight calves, and i had surgery on my right calf because my tendon was to tight(from being over weight not stretching) So I try to stretch all the time(before work out, although my trainer tells me I dont have to because loosing up will hep, I stretch in btween cardio and weights…

I just bought a teddy through a "toy" party. I have never worn one, and figured my husband has been asking me to wear one since we started dating 10years ago. I have never been confident in myself( and I was skinny then) so I figured after 10yrs of dating and 4years of marriage. Im finally ready to accept who I am and…

and i agree with mellons. Anytime I start a work out I do sometype of cardio since for me it seems to be when i burn the most calories/fat.

I have a personal trainer that I see 2 days a week and one day we do lower body which can sometimes result in cardio(circut training) and then next day we do upper body/strengthening, free weights. But we tend to do be well rounded. and then i go to the gym on my own 3 days a week and do my cardio and incorpret the things…

what are pile squats

I have done the 30minute shred before and I could not do the full 30 minutes. I would work your way up to the time. Do a little more each day, or break it up during the day.. do half in the morning and do the other half at night(if you have the time) just a suggestion. Dont beat yourself up to much you are trying something…

I lost 10lbs in 3 weeks and I'm significantly shorter than you( 4'11) my calories were 1350 when I started( wasn't very active, and my goal was to loose 1lb a week and yes most of it was water weight) no see a personal trainer 2x a week and I work out 3 days a week at the gym on my own. I lost 1.6 lbs last week so I knew I…

I agree with Lora..

wow you look fantastic! :) sometimes it does take us certain things to make that light bulb turn on :) For me living in our apartment for 3 years we never had mirrors(accept the bathroom and it was small) We went to HI for 3 months and we had a condo out their that had mirrors all over the place and(I hate looking at…

Thanks everyone :)

Ive used just basic gym gloves, you can get them at walmart or Olypmia, i like them,and they do help w/ using weights.

You make a very good point. However, i have always been self concious of my body skinny, fat, I just didn't feel comfortable in my own skin. Like someone said it';s all about mentality. It;s also hard when you have people around you who tell you " You dont look good, you need to loose weight." or" those jeans are…
