THANK YOU for all the kind words!! I was hesitant to share my story (not sure why anymore..). Everyone has made me feel so good. I have used this forum many times for encouragement/motivation, I'm glad that I can provide some this time!

The number one thing that has helped me finally lose weight despite my emotional binge eating has been to get back on track ASAP. In the past I would get discouraged and after a binge I would say "screw it" and eat horrible for days/weeks until I decided to give it another shot. Now, if I have bad days (like yesterday-…

My calories are usually all over the place, lol. About twice a month I actually stayed around 1200/1300. MOST of my days were 1500-2000 calories. Then there were my binge days that went way over 3,000 (about 2-3 times a month). I do all different kinds of exercising. Zumba, 30 day shred x2, currently doing Ripped in 30, I…

Naw, not "piggish"...what girl doesn't like to hear that!? I do like my curves, which is why about 15 pounds less will be the furthest I'll go down. Thanks ;)

Thanks!!!! :D Couldn't have done it without my fabulous friends on MFP, like you!!

I'm not sure I'll EVER get over my emotional eating problem, but I can control it! (most days) Congrats on your success as well!

Well, a couple pictures got cut short, but still not too bad for my first time!

I just read about that in Bob Harper's The Skinny Rules book. I've never paid much attention to fiber in the past but now I"m going to start. I like the idea because otherwise fruit makes the carb count sky-rocket. If you can subtract the fiber, it doesn't seem so bad when you have bananas, apples, and berries in your diet…

I LOVE chia seeds. I bought them for the first time a couple weeks ago. So many great health benefits such as Omega-3's! I put them in my protein shakes and in my yogurt. There are other things you can do with them, but I haven't tried any yet.

I just started Ripped in 30 yesterday, I like it so far! I did 30 day shred last month and in September.

I did my first round of 30DS in September and busted out of my plateau, losing 10 pounds in that 30 days and 12 inches. Tomorrow I finish my second round of it. I haven't weighed or taken measurements yet, but I'm sure I'll see some results- just perhaps not as good as last time. I was doing a lot of running in September…

Yumm.....Dean :) Great show!

LOL...indeed.

I am a huge fan of 30 Day Shred. I did it in September- 10 days straight at each level and lost 10 pounds and 12 inches. I was also trying to eat healhy and I did some running. It's tough, but after a few days of it it becomes easier...until you move up a level, lol. I was so impressed by the results, that I'm doing it…

You look AmAzInG!!!! I love how you took similar pics for comparison. I wish I would have took more pictures when I was bigger so I could do something like that. I avoided the camera like the plague :/ Great work!!!

I needed this today!!!! You look amazing! It's great seeing people with so much success beyond the numbers on the scale. Well done!

1. Reach an ultimate goal weight of 150-155 ( exact weight to be determined) 2. Pay off my credit cards and start start saving to take my daughter to Disney world some day

Makes sense....Now I want to go to an expensive named-brand store to see if I can squeeze into a 6 :laugh:

Great Job, Nichole!!!! Can't wait to see more!

^ THIS for me too :)

He does take fish oil too, at least on most days. He does take something for the pain/inflammation on some days but the pain is nearly every time he lifts, so he's not going to constantly pop pills. I"ll talk to him and show him the comments. Thanks for your help!

Thanks! I'll pass this information on to him.

Thanks for the responses, this was exactly what I was looking for. I think I will eventually incorporate that into my workout plan.

Thanks! I'm actually not looking to put on mass, just look more cut and toned. Ideally, I would be slim but with some definition, so perhaps heavy lifting isn't for me?

What a great feeling!!!!!!!!! You'll have to let us all know what your end results were.

Holy Moly, girl!!! Amazing results!! Sticking with it proved to be well worth it!! That makes me want to do 30DS again!! I think I might start incorporating it into my turbo fire schedule.

AMAZING..thanks for posting!!!! Very motivating! It gets frustrating depending on the scale to tell you if your succeeding or not.

amazing!!!! How long did it take??

BUMP, so I remember to make these

WOW! I thought I had good results..... Way to go! I agree, it's a great program. After 4 months at plateau, the 30DS helped me bust through lose 10 pounds and 12 inches. You look amazing!!! Makes me want to do it again!
