This is nothing to beat yourself up about...I fall off the wagon every other week, but never set a date for when you're gonna make things right. Do it today and you'll feel much better about how you're handling things. Every day is a new start for me...maybe if you look at it that way it will help. You can do this! Just…

It's amazing and at the same time very pitiful how cruel people are...it makes me think of my days in jr and high school...hated it! I was actually very thin and short...with acne, so I got teased every day of my life and it was miserable. I hated going to school except for being in the marching band which was my only…

and you're beautiful too! feel free to add me...encouragement is the best motivator in my book and i have no problem with that;:wink: although i seem to have a problem with capitalization on this post, lol!:noway:

I'm trying so hard not to laugh too loud so I don't wake up the kids that I'm literally in tears...thanks!:cry: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hi and welcome! I'm in the process of losing 50lbs also and I love it here....I had been here about a month before I started getting into the community and I'm so glad I did...you're gonna absolutely love this! Good luck on your journey!:drinker: :smokin: :glasses:

Hi. Feel free to add me if you like...I intend to be here for a loooong while...we can support each other and congrats on your 20lb loss!:tongue:

Oops! Forgot to put up stats! Here goes: June 1 GW-150 May 1 SW-157.6 May 8 CW - May 15 CW - May 22 CW - May 29 CW - June 1 CW - Good luck everybody...Let's rock this out!:tongue:

I feel the exact same way...even gained a pound, but I still feel good about the couple of inches lost. I think I'll try it again for May because it will keep me working out harder! Thanks again for starting the challenge dhiggins8...I didn't make it but I really did enjoy it! Last weigh in for April is 157.0:tongue:

Memphiiiiiis! Hi, welcome to the site and feel free to add me!:drinker: :smokin: :glasses:

I feel ya girl!!! I'm a SAHM with 3 kids too and I also homeschool - VICIOUS CYCLE AIN'T IT? Feel free to add me if you like! We can get through this together!!!:noway: :smokin: :smokin: :smokin:

I'm in Pink. I'm keeping my goal at 1lb per week. Let's get ready!!!:smokin:

-heart rate monitor -stationary bike -definitely the remote while on stationary bike and wearing heart rate monitor.:wink:

I'm a stay at home mom and I don't go to the gym either, but the 30Day Shred is a good circuit training video. The Celebrity Shred video(by Holly Perkins) is an intense circuit training workout on exercisetv that can be found on the internet as well as on demand(comcast). When I'm doing neither of these, I usually start…

Welcome!:smile:

You may feel overwhelmed right now, but I think that some of it could be just your mindset. Don't get me wrong, I do know that life gets in the way when you have so many responsibilities and it seems like you have to keep putting yourself on the back burner(I know this all too well.) I'm a housewife with 3 kids, 10, 4 and…

WTG!:tongue:

Sounds a lot like my household! Exercisetv has a lot of mini and full length workouts, you could check them out either on demand or on the internet...lots to choose from!:tongue:

I'd like to know too as I sometimes use weights when jogging in place. I'll make sure to check this thread later...hope somebody can help us!:huh:

Awesome...just awesome!!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

That is so true...we need to congratulate ourselves with whatever loss we have and when you think about all the work it takes to lose that 'one pound', it will be just that much more special...I loved that...I get happy over ounces... at the end of the day, it all adds up! That was great, thanks!:wink:

Don't be so hard on yourself. We all have days when we feel this way. If you make your main goal be to 'never quit', the occasional stumbling block won't get you so down on things. By this being a lifelong journey and not just a diet or a temporary weight loss program, but a lifestyle change, it put things into perspective…

You two guys are BEAUTIFUL together. Awesome teamwork...that's what it's all about. Congrats on your wonderful success. Amazing!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the inspiration. You look wonderful and you've done an excellent job! Congrats!!!:smile:

I don't go to the gym, but I have a stationary bike and I love it! I'd like to have a treadmill but have to wait until I can afford it...the bike was given to me by a relative and I REALLY appreciate it! When I don't feel like jumping around for my workout or when I want to burn extra calories it's there to help me get the…

I use the videos on exercisetv when I want to add a little extra to my workout without killing myself. I log it as low-impact aerobics. I usually do the 2 mile walk(30min) or the 3mile which is about 38minutes. Not too strenuous, but it still gets your heart rate up!:tongue:

Hey everybody. I haven't lost anything. I gained a little during the week but I'm back at my CW for last week. I started the 30 day shred this week so I guess that has something to do with it. Here goes: SW - 159.6 CW - 157.6 Hope next week is better! See you guys next week! Good luck!:ohwell:

Hi. We have quite a bit in common along the lines of portion size, but it sounds like you've got your mind made up and I want you to know that you can definitely do this. As long as you have no intention on quitting(and seems like you don't), you can rock this thing out. We're here to encourage and motivate you and you'll…

Lowest calorie drinks I've discovered yet is vodka with either Crystal Light or if you're cheap like me, Great Value Lemonade drink mix which is 5cals per 8oz. 1-1 1/2 shots to 4oz with some ice in the blender will set it off...if you do it about 4 times...just make sure it's in the cal budget....1shot of vodka is about 55…

:laugh: If you were here I'd hook U up!

You definitely have the right mindset! As long as you're honest and your mind is made up to NOT QUIT no matter if things are going good or bad, you can be successful. I was a crash dieter for years and it only got me more fat. Now I am 'anti-diet'. Everything in moderation is fine as long as you are using the tools and I…
