I love it! I don't eat and extra calories because it told me I burned them, I might have a scoop of protein w/ unsweetened almond milk if I am still hungry after my regular diet. I love the HR, it keeps me motivated and I love to see the progress of my heart rate (183 to 165!) with my diet and exercise.

thanks for your input!! luckily I've only had this much extra weight for a year, so I hope I bounce back a little quicker :)

Great job on the weight loss!! I'll be okay once my skin tighten up a bit. I don't mind having small girls too much, just super annoyed with the floppiness right now!! I really think spans and hoods are going to be my new tank top hahaha

I want to be in a pin up in a calendar and a giant *kitten* you to some "friends" who stopped talking to me when I got fat

well if that was the case then I would never drink water because if I am not drinking any at all I don't get thirsty. I drank nothing but coffee for years...

numbers on a scale** hahaha oops

I had a lot of friends who wore dresses the whole time so they didn't have to keep buying new clothes, but that was florida and it was easier :) I think I am going to put them in storage because in a couple years I plan on making some mini me's and I think the baggy tanks will work :) I can't WAIT to donate all these size…

I think I am just going to go by the half my body weight, that's 14 cups (or 3 of my water bottles which is doable). I don't drink sports drinks unless I know I am dehydrated (hiking and long bike rides) and thanks for the insult but I know what research is.

I thought caffiene or alcohol actually "dehydrates you"? I usually count my coffee intake as water (but not my wine!) That's a good call tho, going by the good ol pee chart haha

well I used to NEVER drink any water, just coffee and wine. I've gotten a lot better about it but I am still training by body to recognize thirst from wanting coffee hahaha. I was looking the ideal number but that's just outrageous!

that's a really good idea!!

you are so pleasant and wonderful!! haha I moved away from everyone I know, so when I go back I plan on being a beautiful butterfly!!

start:242 10/1:233 8 down 12 to go!

better late than never!! My total for week 1 is: 8.75 hours. I'm too lazy to break it all down but my diary is open if anyone is interested. 8.75/100

congrats on the weight loss!!!

that's great!! haha I wish I could dance!

that's true!! I am trying hiking, walking and riding my bike! (the exercise machine ones hurt too much )

me too! 40 by new years and 80+ all together!! I will pass on swimming for now, but I love my elliptical <3 i tried the stairmaster today and made it a whole 2 minutes hahaha

I feel the broken glass thing. I had a trainer for a day and she cringed overtime my knees moved. I said "this is why I let myself get this way!!"

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful feedback!! I went and added everyone you all are the best!!

I have notice with the slight weight loss how much less my knees are hurting, I can't wait to be under the 200 pound mark!! thank you!

I really need to try rowing. I just love my elliptical sooo much ahhaha

I blame my ankles on a botched military surgery hahahaha! I am definitely going to try those balance excerises!! thank you! and I did just break down and get a pair of aspics. I am waiting to get under 200 pounds to start running again because I don't want to put my knees through that! I will send an add thank you!!

I added you! I can't swim for weight loss, I tried it before but I have serious panic attacks as soon as my head goes underwater (waaa!!!) I can't do squats yet, but I have been doing a lot of step ups and machine work and it seems to be helping a lot! I can't wait to do squats for that lovely butt hahaha. I totally forgot…

there are a lot of people who use it to gain weight and muscle!! theres a huge group of women who just start to lose weight and then within a year they look like body builders! check out the success stories forum. It inspires me everytime :)

if you feel okay at the end of the day than that's all that matters. some days I go under 1200 some days I go 1600! it depends how weak I feel haha. I did go on a 1,000 calorie diet once (doctor told me to) , I was 5'9" and 190ish pounds. I lost weight but I was a lot more weak even with daily strength workouts (gym twice…

well put froggy friend

if I eat under 1200 but still feel good (not hungry or weak) then I drink some V8 or wine hahaha

hi im allison and i'm aiming for 80-100 pounds (we will see)

okay so once a week I use a sea salt scrub with vitamin e and coconut oil (I made it so their are some extra oils in there too) and after I shower I use Jergens collagen boosting lotion, and a tightening serum on my face and neck. I think it really is helping!! if you have a little more money to spend (20-30 a bottle)…
