YOWZA! You look amazing! I hope I look this good at 60!

Count me in! HW: 190 LW: 150ish CW: 175 GW: 155 UGW: 140 Height: 5'9.5" More than weight.. I am really working hard on reducing my butt/thighs. That is my MAJOR problem area. I also would love to have a flat tummy! Edit: Thought I would add this too: Goal weight loss for next week: 173 Goal calories burned for next week:…

Truly inspiring! After reading this.. I want to go to the gym now! lol. Congrats and keep up the amazing work!

I'm interested! sign me up!

Also.. I thought I'd post why I was able to lose 4+ lbs last week for anyone who is interested: First - I am pretty sure some of that was just water weight. The week before I was menstruating and the week before that I was extremely stressed about a big exam I had, so I think I was retaining some water. I had gained the…

Just saw this... woah! Here's to hoping I can have another great week!

I actually bought some yoga type pants at Walmart (I think they were $7!) and they conveniently have a little side pocket that fits my ipod perfectly! I've tried the arm bands and found them annoying because they either slipped down my arm when I started to sweat, or they were so tight that it bothered me.

I recently closed my diary completely because I went on a little food binge for a few days and someone actually had the nerve to message me and say I was never going to lose weight and I was being a negative role model to everyone on my friends list................ I would also like to mention that this week I lost over 4…

Way to go! It's the small things like this that will really make the difference!

I LIVE in my contacts! I would suggest discussing the options with your doctor.. I have an astigmatism and very dry eyes, so it's taken me a couple of different brands until I found one that works for me! There are so many brands, and everyone is different! The other thing is, have them help you put the contacts in the…

Definitely plan your meal in advance! My husband and I love Chili's and like to go once every couple of weeks. When I first started going I would order what I *thought* was healthy and didn't plan for anything and usually gave into my temptations. Now I always plan in advance and go in with a game plan. By doing this, I'm…

This is happening to me too! I have some really nice Undies/bras and they're all too big for me now! Guess I'll be hitting Walmart, too! And then once I reach my goal weight I am spoiling myself and buying some nice lingerie!

Wear a bikini this summer & get my belly button pierced!

You can go to the gym... just don't go to the locker room! haha

I love this! When I watch TV I will usually get up and do stuff during the commercial breaks. Whether it be me just walking up the stairs, or cleaning up a bit.. I find it not only helps pass the time for boring commercial breaks, but also stops me from wanting to eat out of boredom and keeps me moving!

hmmm...seems like it's been a tough week for a lot of people. I wonder if Valentine's day has thrown everyone off? I know I splurged a little that day... I would be up for having mini challenges for this group. I like the idea of setting goals for # of minutes worked out, or number of calories burned exercising. I think we…

Hi everyone - I'm very happy to announce I've lost another pound! And more importantly, I'm back in the 160's! I haven't been there in almost 3 years! In non scale victories... I have a pair of pants that I used to wear when I was at my thinnest. I use these pants to gauge my weight loss. Two months ago I couldn't even get…

I used to belong to a gym located in Boston that was ALWAYS crowded. At any given moment there would be 20-30 women in the locker room. Because of this, getting a changing stall was difficult, so almost everyone just changed in the open. It wasn't a big deal to me, I'm comfortable with this kind of stuff. Until one day, as…

I would suggest trying out different machines every day until you find the ones you're most comfortable with. My gym has about 4 different ellipticals, but 2 of them put to much pressure on my knees (I've had problems in the past) and there are certain treadmills that just feel better to me. Don't be scared to look like…

I definitely see a difference, especially in your face! You look great!

I've had serious knee problems in the past and every time was a little bit different. I've had x-rays done and then was just referred to a physical therapist where they helped me from there. Other times I've seen doctors and they wouldn't even look at me until I had an MRI or X-ray done. Almost every single time I was…

I allow myself cheat days... but usually only once I've weighed in for the week. This way if I go too overboard, I will still have all week to correct the scale. However, everyone's different, this is just works for me! I personally believe cheat days are important. If I allow myself to indulge every once and a while, I'm…

A good week for me! I lost 2.4 lbs! Also, if anyone is wondering who this is, my username used to be Beatsbroken, but I changed it this past week! Three Month goal: 155 Week 1 (1/7) - 175 Week 2 (1/14) - 173.6 Week 3 (1/21) - 171.4 Week 4 (1/28) - 171.2 Week 5 (2/4) - 172.4 Week 6 (2/11) - 170.0 Week 7 (2/18) - Week 8…

You look amazing! Good job!

I'm not sure about anything scientifically, but I know that for myself I like to try and stay under my carbs. My family has a history of diabetes (some very severe cases) and I know being consistent with carbs and staying under is important for that. I also generally try and stay under for sugar and fats. I'm not sure if…

I just made stir-fry the other night! I used shrimp with broccoli, snow peas, water chestnuts, baby corn and bamboo shoots! I also sometimes put peppers in them! LOVE stir-fry... could eat it every night! haha

Good job!

WOW!!! Girl... you deserve to pat yourself on the back! Your weightloss is incredible!

I hear all the time that I don't need to lose weight.... And when I tell my friends that I weight 170ish they are usually really shocked! My mom is convinced it's because I'm part Polish and supposedly Polish women have heavy bones?? Not sure how true that one is.. Congrats on the wight loss! That is really impressive and…

Oh my God.. there are actually other tall women out there? I thought I was alone! haha I'm 5'10" and started at 175 and weighed in this morning at 170 lbs. During summer 2009, I actually weighed about 190, but lost 20 lbs for my wedding this past October. Now I'm hoping to lose even more! I'm hoping to get down to about…
