According to my HRM, I burned about 200 calories...is it not ok to go by that? And I don't plan to do it EVERY day...I've been in this weight loss game for a while now and my brother is a personal trainer, so I know the rules. But it's good for days that I know I won't be able to workout at any other point in the day.

I think it's just called "7 Minute Workout" The icon is green with a big 7 on it!

I used my Polar HRM. I never estimate the calories I burn, that's setting up for failure haha

OMG when people don't recognize me, I LOVE it! I kinda expect for them not to. I LOVE their reaction when I'm like "It's Ashley..." and they freak out. :-) It doesn't mean you are unimportant, it means you've changed so much and it should feel good! :-)

SO much. Some good, some sucks. I love that I can go to a regular store and buy clothes. I love that I can walk in and know my size and know it'll fit. I get compliments CONSTANTLY on my weight loss. I'm very active in our local community theatre and I get compliments from my fellow actors/techies, but also patrons who…

I'm SO glad you posted this! I'm currently 5'6" and 187 pounds. I am pretty damn happy with how I look right now. Do I want to lose more? Absolutely, and I plan on it, but for my height I'm supposed to be like 150 pounds. That's 37 POUNDS from where I am now and I think it is absolutely impossible for me to look good…

Thank you!! that explains exactly what happened. I KNOW I didn't change my activity level settings - it just automatically upped my calories without me even going into my settings. I went into my settings only to make sure everything was set correctly.

I didn't change anything, actually...

I started incorporating CLA and Green Coffee Bean into my daily diet and exercise. I actually lost 3 pounds the first week I started seriously taking them. However, I work out EVERY morning for at least 45 minutes and I eat only within my calories. I think on their own, they won't make a significant difference, but I think…

This made my day!! If I can be any kind of inspiration to at least one person, I'm happy. :-)

Thank you!! I do...I feel way better waking up each morning knowing I've done something really good for myself and that I continue to. And it doesn't hurt that I like getting dressed and fixing myself up now :-)

Thanks :-) I do mainly cardio about 5 days a week and try to do some strength training 2 times a week, at least. I'm not as good with strength so I'm getting a couple of sessions with a trainer to show me what I need to do to accomplish the rest of my goals!

I don't know if I went from NOT to HOT, but I get hit on way more often now... lol! FACE!

Yeah - I would say "hot" is an accurate description of your after picture...haha Way to go!!

Thanks guys!!! I love how motivating this site is!! :-)

You look AMAZING!! And at 5'9", that looks perfect to me. I'd never consider you "big" haha keep up the awesome work!!

Thank you very much! :-) It's way easier to take compliments on my appearance now, because I can actually believe them haha

Thank you so much! :-)

Thank you!! :-) I've always been a happy person, I'm just much happier thinner!

I am a little over 5'6"!

Thank you!!

So are you, sister!! Keep up the good work :-)

I am!! It's hard work and I'm glad I've been able to make it this far!

Thank you :-)

Thank you! "after" pictures are the only way I ever see a difference in myself, because sometimes looking in the mirror just doesn't help haha

Haha thank you!! My face was the first place I started seeing a difference, so I appreciate that lol And can I just say your weight loss is AMAZING!!

Uh, one of them came out HUGE! haha let me try that one again.

Jujulamb you remind me a little of Shakira! Especially the eyes!

This is the one I get ALL the time. Even strangers will tell me I look like Sandra. One time at Subway the lady making my sandwiched just stopped and was like "I know this is weird but you look JUST like Sandra Bullock!" I was like "...thank you." haha

I'm 5'6" and currently 217!
