No need to be nervous, your hard work is shows, you look great :)

Those are impressive results!! Just about enough motivation to cause me to want to pop one of those dvd's in tomorrow and give it a whirl! I did the chest, arm & back one once...lol....I am rethinking this no exercise thing after seeing your results, gives me hope that it can be done!!! Thanks for sharing, you look…

I have so far lost 22 pounds. I'm 5'7" and my start weight was within 5 pounds of yours. I have went down a size in tops and about a size or two in pants. Diet changes only, no exercise yet.

I love Celia Rivenbark! I have two of her books, "Stop Dressing your 6 year old like a skank" and "We're just like you, only prettier" She is the most hilarious author I've ever came across. She's a southern writer too so she's all into the cliche sayings like "bless your heart" and so on. I've never read material as blunt…

Hypo with goiter, on Synthroid X2 years. Take the name brand because like some others the generic form didn't help me. I started out at 25 now I'm taking 112. On 75 I was losing some weight finally but starting to feel sooo sluggish and freezing all the time again. So a doctor I work with informed me that I need to take 1…

I agree that it is soo much harder for those suffering with hypol......I have hypo and goiter, was finally diagnosed 2 years ago but symptomatic for 16+ years, my mother has Hashimoto's. I am on Synthroid to try to reduce the goiter and 'rest' my thyroid and I've struggled with weight gain for 16 years now. I honestly do…

You look great! : ) Good job!

Yes, ther are many out there, I just bought a Nike Imara HRM. They have men's and women's both. Nike, Adidas and New Balance all make HRM's that you can track your calorie and heart rate both on the watch portion. Mine came with a band that you wear around your chest, lets you set your target HR zone, alarms if you aren't…

I hate to sound like a broken record but the first word I thought of was wow, she looks amazing! lol your hard work shows, you're a very beautiful young lady, great job!!! :)

Get Moving and drink plenty of water! That will help flush it out and burn those calories off ; )

weigh I meant not weight! lol

I weight daily but only log on Thursday's if I have a loss

Wow! Good job! You're a very beautiful young lady, before and after.

good job :) You look great!

I used to have a lot of pain from it but once I started wearing inserts in my shoes it hasn't bothered me much since. They make braces you can wear to sleep in that stretches the foot to alleviate that pain and also stretching exercises help, you can find some online for p.f. just google it, hope you find relief soon :)

Weighed 165 this morning Plateaued I guess

Thanks for sharing, I had one of those ups on the scale today and was kinda bummed about it but it looks like it all works out in the end, hopefully :)

I am a stress eater also and sometimes I am successful and overcome the temptation by drinking a cup of hot tea with splenda and fat free creamer which is very low calorie and filling.....try low calorie drinks, it might fill you up and keep you from eating...

That is so funny because I love the smell of lumber also because that means something is getting built or fixed around my house which makes me soo happy =D

great job, looking good ;0) we have similar goals....so far I have lost 18-19 lbs. but would like to lose at least 20 more!!!

The whole point to knowing your BMR is to create a deficit either by reducing caloric intake with food or exercise,,,,,the only way to lose weight is to create a deficit. If you -500 a day then after 7 days=3,500....1 pound consists of 3,500 calories

Also I can't really exactly how many years it's been since I drank pop! I used to drink Dr. Pepper every day then I switched to Diet Dr. Pepper and finally quit them all together, gosh, it's probably been 4 years!!! wow I don't miss all that bloating and belching either :drinker: lol

I remember when I hardly went a single day without a glass of dessert wine or two or three...:blushing:

k I'm a little late starting this challenge but I am going to set a goal of losing 7 pounds by Easter : ) CW: 166 GW: 159 Best wishes to everyone else :wink:

Love, Love, Love tea I start my day with a hot cup of regular or chair tea with creamer and splenda :drinker:

I finally got rid of my size 2-8's last year now that leaves me with 9-14's; I would love to get back to a 6 but I'll definitely be happy with anything out of double digits :)

I don't see any water recorded, you must drink lots of water to keep from retaining fluid....the more you drink, the more fat/toxins/waste that your body flushes out,,,adequate water intake is key to weight loss

No I never eat exercise calories when I do actually exercise

losing has slowed down but I'm at the goal weight now, so : ) CW: 167

sounds like it's gotten twisted maybe
