Great job on the 30 pounds loss!! I started my journey similar to yours. it was slow but rewarding I sent you a friend request I'll cheer you on! I'm from Ontario Canada.!

HI! welcome to my fitness pal!

I'm 33 and use beach body on demand. feel free to add me. i log daily and am always cheering others on! we got this!

good for you girl!! I added you.this community is the best and so supportive!

at your age I doubt you will have that much loose skin around your arms and thighs. Use a good moisturizer everyday to keep skin supple and it will most likely stay firm as you get fitter.

I'm in! hopefully this helps me reach my goals! Original starting weight :230 December starting weight :186 December goal :179 Ultimate goal : 150-140ish 2nd : 185 9th : 16th : 23rd : 30th : Total loss for December :

maybe at this point try to tone up your muscles and you will lose inches and firm up your belly. maybe not lose as much weight per say as you will gain muscle mass.

I would love to help you on your journey! I log daily and like and comment on posts all the time! seeing others succeed helps motivate me.

I also struggle with motivation all the time. This morning I chose to stay in bed longer then do a workout. I hate the gym with a passion. I am sooo not a fan of working out in front of other people (strangers mostly) I do dvd workouts in my livingroom. there are tons to try from. my fav's are Jillian Michaels. I also like…

I am also feeling the pain of losing motivation. I had a great week last week and this week I just want a do-over. so very frustrating when you feel like a failure. trying to stay positive and tell myself that this is a minor setback. not the end of the world.

sent you a request. so looking forward to talking to people on here!

I'm in! I log every day!

I'm in!

hey where in Canada are you from? I live in Muskoka Ontario!

SW: 230lbs CW:198lbs GW: 140-150lbs it depends on how i feel/look to myself when i get there.

i also have Plantar faciitis. 2 good insoles that should make most shoes great are made by Sole and Super feet. both go for around $50 a pair but have great arch support. i've used both. i also found this great site www.Thewalkingcompany.com that has a shop by comfort option. you can look for shoes that are for plantar…

I've never had problems with meds as I am not on any but I understand the frustration. try to break things down into smaller chunks. just take the day in three small pieces. just concentrate on making it to lunch without overdoing it. after that make it to supper. then to bed time. also try drinking a large glass of water(…

I also use shock absorber. I'm a DD36. I also heard good things about moving comfort bra's. the main website doesn't ship to Canada but you can get them at running room also. they do ship in Canada.

if ordering shoes online make sure you check that they will ship to your area. I live in Canada and can't order from Ryka. and had ordering problems from puma with my prepaid credit card. good luck!

lucky you! I wish I had your problems! 7lbs in a month is awesome!! 1lb a week is normal and the healthy way to go. you are doing amazing! take measurements too. this helps a lot. keep going and you'll be fit and your Goal weight in no time!
