Brings tears to my eyes. It seems like so far to go for me (just starting out really)... but I can see that it DOES happen because of WONDERFUL people like you sharing your stories. YOU ROCK!!!! Thank you for being strong enough to be so successful and such an inspiration to us all. You are uber HOT btw ;)

Thanks everyone :ohwell:

DITTO!!

There IS hope!!!! You are stunning, always remember and always be proud of what you acomplished :)

yep yep... water water water... avoid sodium.. and move your body more. How old are your kids? I have 2 girls ages 6 and 4... they LOVE to have dance time or go bike riding or ANYthing with me... much easier now that they can participate and not be carried or pulled in the wagon or whatever.

I'm joining up for the week... a little late but here none the less. My goal is to exercise 250+ mins this week and stay under original daily goal (not counting burned cals) every day. So far, I'm doing pretty good. Pulled my bike out of storage and took a couple of short rides today... and I can feel it!!!

I signed up for at least 100 mi ns of exercise... i capped out as of 3/5 at 230 mins :drinker:

This is awesome!!! I'm going to start tracking it too. I know mine isn't as dead on because i don't have the exact same intake and exercise every day, but knowing that it WORKS for sure will help set those little goals I SO can't wait to see the scale go under 250!!! For every time the 2nd digit on the scale goes down I…

I should have set my goal higher. Forgot about my child's field trip and then had a supprise at work that caused me to pump some iron... or whatever you might call moving file cabinets around and cleaning out desks and moving stuff around .. and... and.... hehe It's been a GREAT week for activity. I'm going to have to find…

This is what i go through everytime my husband steps into the kitchen. I might as well be at a small local resteraunt... GREAT food... but no one knows what's in it. I do exactly what you do.. find the closest thing to it and hope for the best. Sometimes it seems too low... sometimes it seems too high.... as long as it…

I've been on here less than 2 months. I count every day.... even the days that I didn't keep in goal. My opinion is that we aren't PERFECT... we're going to have days when we do something ourside of our goal... but if you lose site of the goal (don't count calories) you'll never make the goal. The ultimate goal is to get…

hehe.. there was a day when I came in under 1000.. I was walking around my kitchen checking labels and trying to find something to eat that i wouldn't hate myself for later. I don't remember what I ended up with but I felt like a crazy person because I wasn't even really hungry... but didn't want to stall out the process…

Hey Marie - and everyone else!! I'm Tonya - 35 - and need to loose 107 MORE pounds to reach 150. I've done several "diets" in the past and would loose 20-30 punds then flat line. I am on board with the life change that MUST happen to get me active and not have anymore moments of crying in the back seat of a car when my…

I'm in the right thread now.... no matter where i'm typing it... i'm doing it... 100 mins or more this week!!!

I'm in for 100 mins too!!! Even just got a new (to me) used tredmill... i can stop stomping a path around my house to walk (not in such a great area or on a great scheule for getting out to enjoy the weather very often)

Awesome!!! -- Time for a shopping trip!!! :drinker:

Thanks guys!!

Smart move. Its amazing how big a lift it is to see one of your friends give you a "WOOT" when you were under goal for the day or comment on a work out. The support here is GREAT reading the boards and knowing that I'm not alone in ANY struggle I have is has been key in keeping my head above water. Its a long... winding...…

hmm... chihuahua uh?? Miss Priss or Missy Prissy Princess Yappy Little Miss

Knockin' on Heaven's Door

That's what its all about!! High energy, High motivation, High results :)

I eat the Great Value Lean Cafe meals for lunch at work. They are higher in sodium and you will need more water to help wash it out (or just do another FAT boot Camp work out and sweat it out hehe)... but I agree with everyone about adding fresh vegies in too. SO... not an every meal every day kinda thing... but GREAT when…

Sorry about that... I made my diary public, and here's the Info.... It isn't very sodium friendly.... Per Serving: CALS-226 CARBS-34 FAT-5 PROT-20 SODIUM-1050 SUGAR-8

Hey! We can do this! I am brand new and fumbling around.

Alabama...y'all :laugh:

You have the right attitude to succeed.. and you have started early in life...that's fantastic. I wish you much luck in EXCEEDING your goals!!
