I like this websites definition. http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/fitness/the-clean-eating-diet-whats-it-all-about.html#b this is really hard to do! I am trying to eat clean but its a slow process and unfortuantly is not going as good as I want it to lol. My old standbys like special k crisps and protein shakes from…

start with two reps of 10-12. :)

I didn't like working out in front of people when I started either. I used Jillian Michaels and still do! I bought a used treadmill at the thrift shop ($100) and started with that now I am running, outside and loving it! I used to have a gym membership but found I actually worked out less because getting to the gym was…

congratulations! I know how you feel!

Congratulations! awesome feeling ha? I was looking at clearance racks the other day and a women said to me "they have your size right there" She pointed to a shirt and low and behold it was a SMALL! I was like YES! Feels awesome!

mom in law is that you???

Very good advice!In those situations, I have my phone handy and log whatever I am going to eat into my MFP app. After logging it, and seeing it, I sometimes change my mind and take it back out because there is no way I am putting it into my mouth after seeing its actual calories, sugar, or fat content. It helps. Oh and…

good advice! Shes lost 77 lbs (congrats) I would listen to her! :)

bump. Down to my last 15 and getting impatient as well. Plus its getting harder to lose! :)
-
oh. Complicated. Yes, it can get that way for us information junkies. lol. I am the same. I too, have started second guessing my plan. But what I have been doing has worked for ME. I think we are all different and we need to find a plan. What works for us. Your period should be of concern, see a doctor. There could be…

supernatural and star trek. I am a geek. I know. lol OHHH and of course, Walking Dead!

This made me laugh! :)

We have to keep in mind that it takes longer for our brain to catch up with our body. We do not necessarily see things the way they really are. Don't give up on shopping, I don't know who you normally shop with but maybe you need a new shopping buddy. I battle with my confidence as well, but it is getting better, trust me…

I will get back to you after I get through the holidays. Very nervous about it. I did go on an extended vacation last month and managed to keep on the plan, so that gives me hope. But heck just the other day, my grown nephew was having a hard time hearing NO when he was shoving my favorite brownies into my face. Eat just…

diet coke, chips and ice cream. I had a 3-6 can (daily) diet coke addiction, had to stop. Chips. I could eat a whole bag during one episode of my favorite shows and ice cream, hubby had us going to dairy queen 3 times a week! uggg. I do drink a sprite zero a day but hubby still buys them like he did my diet coke! So now I…

are you drinking enough water? i find that I don't have that problem when I drink at least 60 oz of water a day. A cup of coffee helps as well. Sorry to hear that. :(
-
wow! great job! You look fantastic!
-
yes. Everything that goes in your mouth. :)
-
WOW great insurance!
-
zero. Bought a treadmill, weight bench and weights at thrift shops and yard sales. Use the sidewalk and running paths to run. Have videos and a great area to workout. I have done the gym thing before and after a while it became a pain for me to drive the 15 miles each way and I always made excuses. No excuses now. :)
-
Mine are in my closet :( my kids and hubby keep telling me to get rid of them but I just can't seem to believe that I am actually where I am now. I am going to give it some more time to sink in that I am no longer the person I was.
-
this one is controversial here on the threads. I watch my sugar intake and believe its part of my success so far. Not every one agrees. I think we are all different and it is important to find what works for us individually. My dad had diabetes and I was borderline when I was big so for me its a concern. :)

Got 28 minutes? Start with Jillian Micheals 30 day shred. Love it.
-
Jillian Michaels 6 week 6 pack. I love the cardio in there! OH and planks, everything from basic planks to mountain climbers! they rock!
-
went from a 38 D to a 34 B. It sucked at first but I knew that was one of the first places it would go :( I don't mind it so much, they don't hurt anymore when I run or exercise. Funny story though. My hubby mentioned this when I started to lose weight "don't lose the boobies" lol. I think he likes the tight buns and…

Hi! I figured out how much water I SHOULD be drinking (five 16.9 oz bottles a day) and when i get up in the morning i put those 5 bottles on the top shelf of my fridge. I then know exactly when I am low on my water intake. Seems silly but it works. Now I am finding that I am finishing those bottles way before the day ends…

INSPIRING! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live on the beach and during tourist season we see many European guys trying to rock them.....they don't. lol Most super fit guys have more style then to even try to wear one. Not real fond of them. Shows to much, I would rather guys "leave somethings to our imagination" LMAO

yes, when you find something you enjoy! When you push yourself to accomplish things you never thought you could. When you start seeing the results of it, whether it be in a new jeans size or just being able to enjoy the day out with your family without getting so tired. When your life starts to revolve around other things…
