My husband is a HUGE soda drinker too and I was just able to get him to switch to Diet regularly. He has started drinking Crystal Lite Ice Tea to help with him cutting back...but, it isnt cold turkey. You'll have to remember, quiting cold turkey is like quiting a drug cold turkey...the soda has caffiene in it so, you have…

Each person is different. I am 6'2" and I am jsut looking to get to 195...after that, I'll re-evaluate and see if I can go lower. But, at that point, I think I am jsut going to work on toning and not necessarily losing weight.

AWESOME!!!!! I am 33 and I need to find my comparision picture from when I graduated HS...I feel much different then I did then...I keep saying I wish I had my school records so I could see the last time I was this weight!! I have been this height since I was about a Sophomore in HS so, it would be a good comparision! :-)

I agree!! Even when I first started losing weight, I didnt see much of a difference but, there were a bunch of people who noticed. But yes, we have to look at how our bodies are proportioned compared to others...we DO spread it out differently then shorter women. GOOD LUCK TALL WOMEN!!

I am 6'2" and this is about a 40 lb difference.

I do watch my sugar because of hormone issues and being Hypoglycemic...if it is from fresh fruit, I dont pay much attention to it. But, if it is from other sources, that is when I worry/watch.

SORRY Krithsai!! I just needed to ask. I dont want to mess with perfection tho...this is SOOOO GOOD!!! And, it isnt like it has a bunch of JUNK in it...just have to watch how much of it you have at once.

ABOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!

AWESOME!!! Congrats!!!!!!

YELP!!! FINALLY lost mine too...now working on MORE! :-)

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I am by all means NOT a runner. But, I would wait til your legs arent JELLY-like anymore, at least. If not, you may hurt yourself more. As for the breathng, this is more my type of question. I will try to find the blog that helped me but, i will say concentrate on it when you start running and bit then it will start to…

AWESOME JOB!!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!

I am currently on Week 14 of doing Turbo Fire. I did the 9 week PREP schedule and now on week 5 of the STARTER schedule. I LOVE IT!! I did Turbo Jam before for 16 weeks. I'll admit I have not lost much weight in the 14 weeks but, admittingly, my diet hasnt been the greatest...birthdays, Christmas, etc. (Sugar intake issue)…

With issue that I have, I am thinking that maybe it wasnt a crap diet but, the other macros for her body may have been off. I know if I take in too much sugar, even from good sources, I cant lose weight for anything. SO, if she isnt losing weight but gaining muscle, that could be why. All of our bodies are different and…

AMEN!!!

Salem County Here...Bruce Willis' home town! Feel free to add me! :-)

I just added you. I am 6'2" living in New Jersey (USA). I have lost 42 lbs in about a year and a half...very slow at first then started coming off quicker now kinda slowing again. As for the MEN question, my Husband is 6'1" (only an inch shorter than me) and he LOVES my height! I did have a hard time when it came to…

AWESOME!!! You are absolutely AWESOME!!!! STRUT IT GIRLIE!!!!

I started Turbo Fire on Dec 17th...did the PREP schedule and now I am on week 4 of the 20-week starter schedule. I LOVE IT!!! My only problem is that i need to start pushing myself more...because I do it alone, there is no one there pushing me...I try to rememberr the Challenge I am in at work and that helps most of the…

My husband is more handy then I am but, I can do quite a few thigns on my own as well. He is the vehicle Mechanic tho. He LOVES the fact that I dont always wait for him to do things...if I can get it done, I will do it. I helped him and his brother build a 900 sq ft addition on his brother's house! LOVED IT!!!! NOW, when…

It may also get him moving and want to join you...ya never know! The "Jealousy" may get to him enough that he may realize that is what HE needs to do. I secretly think about this when it comes to my husband...he keeps saying he needs to do something but, still doesnt do much. So, here's hoping!! But yes, do this for YOU,…

Just AWESOME!!!!

HELLO!!! I am Kirsten, FullTime working mother of 1 (Almost 3 yrs), stepmom of 1 (8 yrs), and a wife. I have been on this journey seriously over a year and have lost 42 lbs, looking to lose at least another 15# then see where I am. I will send you a friend request! :-)

I love it too! It actually tastes pretty good - and a friend had some stuff from GNC that she paid $40 for. Mine had less cals and more protein. I'm sure some could argue the ingredients, but I'm fine with cheap and filling. [/quote] Body Fortress is actually what I was looking at getting for Protein Powder. It is GREAT…

AWESOME!!! I am doing workout DVDs right now, especially since the weather is bad, and THINKING MAYBE of doing C25K next. GREAT Job!!!

Here is an article that was found that helps explain it... http://www.sbcoachescollege.com/articles/SmartCardiotoBurnFat.html It says to do Strength then Cardio but, if the other way works best for you, then go for it. You have to do what is best for you and how you feel better and can get thru a workout.

I dont believe that is what she is saying in her OP. I think she is just saying she wants the most effective way, not the quickest. Sometimes how some people do things are more effective and better for the body then doing it another way. If Strength Training first builds better muscle or causes more effective cardio then…

Thanks for posting this Shawna!! I'll be watching for other responses as well!! :-)

OMG!!!! You look AWESEOME!!!! GO GIT IT GIRLIE!!!! VERY inspirational!!!
