I would definitely jump on this male eye candy thing. I have alot of women as friends...but I want some hottie men too!!!!

I dont weigh daily..anymore...I used to and for me, it become a crazy obsession. I weigh in weekly now. I did a challenge for November to not weigh in. It was definitely a challenge for me. I say do whatever works for ya!

@ mandi--- you look like a Melissa or Cara or Shawna lol :laugh:

I started out with a BMI over 40 and I inititally used Leslie Sansone walk at home DVD's. I just modified the pace until I was able to get to a point where I didnt want to die or feel like my heart was gonna jump out of my chest. I did that for the first month or so of my lifestyle change and then I joined the gym where I…

I love that I have a new love for running. I never would have thought I'd like it a year ago when I started this journey. Running on the treadmill is good, but nothing like being outside with nature and all of the lovely surroundings. I absolutely hate going through sneakers all the time lol. its expensive! Most…

Congrats to you for making the choice to live healthier! It's a commitment that not everyone is willing to do. So kudos for that!!! I started at the heighest weight of my life. I was 302.6 lbs. Currently I am between 224-229. I have been at this for a year now. I just celebrated my 380th day of logging today! Feel free to…

I think it is def. possible. I lost around 74ish my first year. It's all about how much work and effort you put into it. I had to often remind myself that it wasnt about how long it took me to get my goal. It was about the entire journey and how I was literally changing myself for the better.

this is a good thread...love the title. My leg hair grows extremely fast as well. I have never heard of sugaring before. Will look into that as well. When I shave before the gym, the next morning I have slight stubble. Damn hair...ugh..thank god for fitted capri gym pants or else I wouldnt shave in the winter.…

party like a rock star

i'm the dirty 30 baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will be 31 in July!!! Eeeeeek!!!

green :)

I find that if I eat unhealthy for a day or 2 or 3..then go right back to eating healthy for awhile, I trick my body and see results. Any loss for me is better than no loss or a gain. :) Hope this helps

LOVE this picture!!! I have a problem with my thighs...not so much my booty. Some jeans wont make it up past my thighs..damn them. :(

I'm 5'5 3/4..I started at 302.6 and I am currently fluctuating in the 220's. I would ultimately like to lose another 80 lbs to get to 140. I will see how I look and feel when I get to around 180. I've always had what I consider to be a larger frame. It's not an exact science. I say what you look like and feel like is…

yep :)

I had the same problem..except mine was for like 2 weeks!! I am determined more than ever to eat healhy today. I think I lost sight of what my goals are. I packed all of my food for today. Part of the problem was not having money. I didn't have anything healthy in my house and had to wait to get paid to go grocery…

This is just my $.02 on this topic. While I believe your intentions of the orginial post were in the right place, I think perhaps you may have phrased the purpose of this thread inaccurately. There are MANY people on this site for MANY reasons. I can only speak for myself and why I am here. I had and still have a very sick…

Back in Dec 2012, a friend/coworker asked if I wanted to run a 7k..well lets just say that I was no where near running capabilities. I toyed with the idea for about 2 weeks, then finally decided to commit to it. She has been the only person aside from family that makes sure I am on track. She left our agency in May and…

I will starting insanity on Sept. 1st. I had posted about insanity (I've never done it before) and I got some really good feedback. I think I needed to read this post. I know that alot of the things on the DVD's will be VERY difficult for me at 236 lbs, but I have faith in myself. I'm not looking to be the "best" at it,…

Thank you for all of the feedback!! It is greatly appreciated! I cant wait to get it and hopefully boost my weightloss even more. Gaining some muscle, especially in my arms would be bad either. :) thanks again!:drinker: Rachael

Congrats on making the decision to join the weightloss world LOL I will be starting insanity in Sept. Currently, I am training for 2 5k runs for August. I have lost a ton of weight, with lots more to lose. I have been doing light lifting, and LOTS of cardio, which include the elliptical, rowing machine, treadmill…

bodytronics.com has good HRM. I purchased my polar ft4 through them for about $63. I googled a promo code that saved me 5% as well. Ive had it since may and I'm very happy with it. IDK if you have a smart phone but I use Runkeeper to help with the speed. It has GPS so you can only use it outside. the calorie burn is never…

God I love these kind of threads! There are some serious hotties on here and what better way to boost your self-esteem than by having a bunch of women drool all over themselves on a fitness website :P Great job everyone at molding your bodies into what you want them to be :) Now show me the HOTNESS!!!!

10 those are awesome muscles!

Why did they change that? Makes no sense. I'm 29--I actually don't mind telling people my age lol

I use the Polar ft4 and I'm happy with my purchase. I've had it about a month and I really enjoy it. Like others said, it estimates the calorie burn, but I feel its a bit more accurate than the machines. I recommend shopping around for price and quality until you find one that will best match your needs. I got mine from…
