Way to go Vicky, glad you're on the right track. You can add me for motivation!:smile:

Well I just want to say hi to all the above posters! I know how you feel about the carbs but since I've been on here I have come to realize that carbs are GOOD for you especially for ppl who work out. I also hated sweating but the more you get into the workouts the less you'll mind the sweating. Vigorous exercise give me a…

Wow! You worked it OUT girl!!!! Fabulous transformation!:flowerforyou:

Hi! Sounds like you've got your mind made up which will in turn be the true cause of your success along with hard work. The support from friends will make the journey just that much enjoyable for you and you'll be more motivated to stick it out knowing that you're not alone in this. Feel free to add me, and we can…

Oops! Forgot to give my stats...hopefully it's not to late. My SW - 157.0 CW - 158.0...I'm apparently fluctuating...booo! Hopefully the scale will have a little mercy this week!:tongue:

Hey everybody! I didn't do anything yesterday and haven't started my workout yet for today, but Saturday was pretty good. I did 3 30 second sets and 1 set for 45 seconds...I really felt the burn. I'll try to do the same today or maybe a little more. See ya later!:tongue:

I wasn't sure what you meant by asexual, so I looked it up. It said "Married". I guess I'm asexual too. [/quote] :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hi. I used to gain about 6 lbs of water before and during TOM, but tips from other posts suggested drinking water to flush out the water gain and it really does work? I know you probably don't feel like working out during that time, but that helps too, and as for the back fat, you could try using dumbells and doing rows…

Haters! Payback's a b***h ain't it?:glasses:

I know what you're going thru and it's not an eating disorder, nor is it low self esteem....I went thru(and still do at times) this, but what keeps me from obsessing about it is that I have a love for myself. I know I shouldn't look at other ppl and wish that my body was like theirs, but being realistic, sometimes I do…

OMG!!! You are soooo awesome! I'm so proud of you....what a hero!!!:heart: :heart: :heart:

Hi...I actually started on Thursday, skipped Friday and went at it again today, so I'm in...I had to take a break yesterday because I was sore, but it felt great to know that I survived thru it. Let's do this!!!:tongue:

Exactly!:drinker:

Hi all! Got my jumping jacks in, plenty of water and I've even started the 30 Day Shred! Needless to say, I'm totally sore from push ups but I feel great. Okay, weigh in for today: SW - 159.6 CW - 157.0 See y'all next week!!!:tongue:

This is me exactly! Thank y'all soooo much. I was in pain for awhile but I felt great once it was over of course(wow, that sounded like a bad sexcapade):noway: , but my height is 5'1.5 and I'm right at 158.something, it has been fluctuating lately and I really wanted to change up my routine from just the stationary bike…

Hi. I had my last baby 2 years ago and the I've finally gotten rid of 12 initial pounds of baby fat and I have about 40 more to go although all of it isn't just baby fat. Some of it came from stress and emotional eating but I'm on my way and willing to join you in your journey. Feel free to add me and we can encourage each…

Hi fellow lushes. I'm proud to say that it is now Thursday and I've had a whopping 0 ounces this week. I'll probably make up for it this weekend, but I did it...yaaaay!!!! Enjoy the rest of your week everybody!:drinker: :smokin: :glasses:

I think I can do this. I haven't been doing them lately, but am willing to start back so I'm in. I usually do 3 sets of 30 seconds. Hopefully I can build up to doing them longer because it was helping me lose inches of the gut. I'm ready for it!:bigsmile:

I refuse to give up my coffee entirely:noway: . I just take a break from it on some days, but for every cup of coffee that I drink, I'll have a cup of water(iced) right beside it. Nothing wrong with coffee unless that's all you're drinking. Make sure you get the water in too! Your post is hilarious btw and I'm sure this is…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: hence America's overweight epidemic. It actually looks like a corn dog but is pancake batter with link sausage or weenie or something inside, I'm not sure but you can get just about anything on a stick here.:huh: Anyway to the thread starter, I know what you're going through with the sodium thing.…

I feel the same way, welcome to the site and feel free to add me. I screw up sometimes too...especially today.:noway:

Hi. You seem very excited and you have every right to be because this is a wonderful place to reach your goals with all the support, motivation, and information that you could ever need! You will love it here and gain many friends. I wish you much success on your journey and I hope you enjoy every minute of it...I do! Feel…

Hi. I just wanted to welcome you to the site. You will love and appreciate all the support and motivation that you will find here. I'm trying to NOT have high blood pressure(family history) and also get my A!C down because I also have a family history of diabetes. I've not had any problems with these issues all my life…

Maybe I need to switch up. I always do cardio BEFORE strength training...thanks for the tip. I don't go to the gym, but use weights at home. I am starting to see a little difference now so I guess it's working.

Dude, you're gonna be soooo ripped!:wink:

I definitely can't pick just one. I'd love to meet all my friends especially zaggy...she cracks me up every day. there are a couple more in particular but can't think of the names. I look forward to chatting with them all every day and since I've read this thread I'd love to meet you too Phil. I didn't realize what your…

I started doing this about a month ago and I'm really starting to see a difference. I don't go to the gym, but at home I start off with 20-30 min on stationary bike, then go to jogging in place sometimes but now I'll go from the bike to some jumping jacks and other calisthenics between lifts. Works up a good sweat and is…

I haven't met you but congrats on your success. I wish you the best of luck!:flowerforyou:

You're building muscle and retaining water. Just stick with the routine and you'll start to see a drop on the scale although if you measure yourself you would probably see a difference there. This happened to me when I started cardio-strength training. I had only lost a pound or so and some days the scale actually went up.…
