As I stated previously, significantly overweight people at a higher quantity of unhealthy food. Personally, I've found that in my 10 weeks on here, eating foods that are healthy for you and actually fill you up consist of less calories... which for me makes it a bit harder to reach my calorie goal.

I understand that some people lack common sense or are too lazy to research something on their own before posting. But rather than being rude or degrading in a reply, it could be simply ignored. Then the poster would HAVE to look it up by themselves. But FYI not everyone gains during their "TOM" ... I don't :)

I have fit people on my friends list as well. I'm not saying that there are people who get offended when they're told they're doing something wrong. There definitely are people like that. But when people asking a legitimate questions get unsolicited rude comments that have nothing to do with their question.... that's not…

I understand that. Some people like the drama a certain topic can create. Personally, if I have a question, I search the web and the forums first to see if there are other similar questions and go through the responses. If I still don't know, THEN I post a thread and am more specific on what I am still confused about. I…

Alas, I am not trying to. Just simply stating what I see, and voicing my opinion on how I wish they would act like decent human beings. I am well aware that there is absolutely no chance of that ever happening ^_^

I think the world just needs better parents. If there were, their kids wouldn't be such arrogant, entitled, rude, (insert numerous other names here)... brats. :) I'm not saying I'm perfect. Far from it, actually. (I found out why I'm ranting this morning. I forgot to have my coffee!)

I understand that. But I'm pretty sure this site was created to help people. Not have people that are trying to change feel bad because people lack common courtesy to keep their mouths shut if they don't have anything nice to say. Like I said, just kind of ranting. I just think it's rude. Either way, anyone that needs…

I did the HGC diet and drops before. Lost 30lbs in 5 weeks, then gained it all back. you can NOT live on 500 calories a day.

I'm from OK too. feel free to add me! :)

pretzels, celery, red bell pepper slices :)

I think that there are a lot of women on here that haven't always been classified as "good looking" ... only after they decided that they wanted to take care of themselves did they become attractive. So not all the attractive ones have always been that way. Everyone has a story. Don't judge by face value.

Way to go! It feels amazing doesnt it?! I'm about to hit my 20lb mark and it's nice to have people saying you look slimmer :) I also have a long ways to go. Add me if you need any extra motivation or support :)

Me... it's pretty much all I do. Aside from the 10% of the time that I have actual WORK I need to do :)

30 Day Shred is a combination of cardio, strength, and abs. There are 3 levels, 10 days on each level. Each level has 3 circuits to the workout..which is 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs. (repeat for circuit 2 and 3) but with slightly different exercises.

seems like a fun guy to be around

Congrats! Thanks for sharing your success with us :) Always great to hear!!

My goal tonight is to run for 1.25 minutes straight through. I think I'm not going to worry about increasing my speed/decreasing my time yet, rather focus on distance covered...working my way up by adding 1/4. I know it's not much, but considering I'm very overweight, it's more than enough to keep my heart rate up there…

I'm going to embarrass myself and name the one I've found to be the biggest deal.... Star Wars

Well, I ran tonight and decided my goal was to run without any breaks, so I ran my 1 mile in 10:37:99 with no breaks!

I'll look into it, but I don't want to feel like a failure if I can't ever do 5 miles lol edit. wasn't thinking. 5k =/= 5 miles. lmao.

Sounds like a plan! I'm not sure if I have the endurance to do a 5K but I'll look into the C25K. My muscles have always been in my legs for the most. I was doing about 360-380lbs on the leg press. Right now I'm doing 250lbs cause that's the highest our weight machine will go, but I make up for it by doing extra sets. I'm…

Thanks ladies. I was really surprised to accomplish it in that time truly, but I was determined. The best part is that I did it because i WANTED to. No one suggested it or pressured me to. I just felt like it. (Which is really weird for me, and you'll probably never get me to admit that I like running out loud) lol But…

Friend request coming :) My diary is open to my friends. Anyone may feel free to add me. The more support and motivation the better :)

Sounds good :) Thanks

lol here there are :)

Mine aren't too special in my honest opinion, but I get told a lot that they're rather nice I can't seem to resize this any smaller. full link here: http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r612/simplysamantha124/20130226_121857-1_zpsacfa35cb.jpg

30DS is not focused on losing POUNDS but losing INCHES. it'll probably look like you've lost weight because you're going to be more toned. :) This is my progress pic, week 1, 6 & 7 with a total weight loss of 16.8lbs so far.. (and week 6 was before day 1 of 30DS and week 7 was after my 7th day of 30DS).. I did day 8 last…
