I've lost 12 lbs and have 145 more to lose... feel free to add me, I would love to have some more friends to help me feel encouraged and keep me motivated, also so I can do the same!

I am starting the Daniel Fast, for the first time, with my church on the 7th until the 27th... I'm kind of nervous but excited, I am a big eater of sweets and bread/pasta... I could use a support buddy so feel free to add me :)

Jesus wasn't actually born on December 25th, we just celebrate it on December 25th :) but it is still a great holiday!

April 30th: Most importantly, My husband, Cameron! My friends father. Willie Nelson Kirsten Dunst Michael Waltrop Jeff Timmons Burt Young Carolyn Dawn Johnson Johnny Galecki there were more but those were the ones I knew, the others i hadn't really heard of...

I'm totally in!! I will send weight tomorrow :D I'm so excited!!!!!!

these all sound fantastic!! bumping for later and will add my own recipe later! :D

My boss used to be a personal trainer and she said that someone should only weight every 2 weeks to a month... I can't do it, but I am sure it would help... and that your body is adjusting by building muscle... muscle weighs more than fat so keep at it and give it a little bit of time, like maybe when you finish 30 DS...…

you need to find an activity that is not boring to you... do you like hikes? baseball? basketball? dancing? find some type of physical activity that you enjoy (even if a little bit) and do it and try to mix it up and pump it up as much as you can! :) you can do this! it also takes discipline and determination to do…

I use MFP's recipe tool ALL THE TIME!!! I add my own recipe using either the ingriedients they have or add my own to the database and you can enter how many servings it makes and then it breaks it down according to the serving and the indredients you have... it's fantastic!!

I met my husband on Facebook... we talked a a few times then i stopped getting messages from him and started dating another guy and he and I dated for a year and a half... after we broke up i was going through old things on Facebook and saw a message from my "hubs" that I had never gotten and so i responded 2 years later…

I have been reading 10 Lessons from a former fat girl by amy parham. She is a former contestant on the biggest loser. and it talks about how to include God in your strive to get healthy. It is mainly about coming to terms with the emotional struggles that can lead to over eating, weight gain, etc. There is also another…

I love Lane Bryant Jeans however, I have now gotten into Maurices Jeans. We (I work there) have great jeans and each pair is for a different body type or is made different in order to do different things for each figure. Our new ones are hydraulic jeans and they are fantastic and even feel a little like pajama jeans but do…

I started at 350 and lost almost 60 lbs down to 293 in about 6 months. That was my low in april. I was 298 in June when I got married, and then unfortunately due to my husband being sick and in the hospital and new atmosphere/routine, I gained back up to 320 basically for lack of effort, but I am back at it and ready to…

I have PCOS, my husband and I are not trying as of yet but I was told i may never have kids, but I don't believe that. The thing with pcos is if you lose weight and take care of yourself it usually reverses itself or minimizes. You may want to ask your doctor to test you for PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome). Good Luck, I…

I live with my brothers... whom are pigs... so i gave up cleaning after them... so the only time I do is when I have had enough and can't stand how aweful it is which is like only once every few weeks... adn then it is so bad it takes hours and lots of scrubbing and elbow grease, so thats when I use it on mfp... also I am…

too cute!! 10 :D

use turkey burgers/ground turkey meet and try not to let him notice the first few times :) it worked on my fiancee and he loves it now!! also deer meat is red and isn't bad b/c of how lean it is, but you have to cook it right or it will taste gamey. good luck!

I am probably a rare girl, but I am 5'8 and I only want to get down to 175 (although I am open to losing more). I am a bigger girl (bone wise and stature not just body fat/weight) so I still want my curves and I feel if I go too much under 175 i will look too skinny/sick looking. my mom looks anorexic when she goes under…

I did it and it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be!! It felt good and actually hurt, b/c I haven't felt anyting on level one so the pain was good :D I know I sound crazy!!!

I can't do the bicycle crunches either.. .mainly because it really hurts the small of my back so what I do insted is I do it standing up, I just make sure I pull my leg up with my abs and pull up as high as I can and use my abs, and it still really works!! :D I have been so behind because I have been super b u sy and in…

I am using weddingchannel.com that is where our wedding site is and they have lots of tips and ideas and pictures to look through and even budget calclators, etc. I am getting married June 23 this year! Good luck! :D and Congrats!

thats great!! I am only weighing once a month, on the first but I have decided that I think I am going to wait until I am done with 30 DS no matter how long it takes ( I am one day behind for now) and then weigh so that I can see just how much I have lost the first time :D

I am getting married exactly 5 months and 20 days and 4 hours from now lol (June 23rd)! I can't wait! I bought my dress in September and have gone down 2 sizes since then and want to have most of my weight loss for the wedding done before my birthday April 30th for alterations. I am at 308 (started at 349 and a size 28)…

Day one down... and i have to say... it wasn't a good day... TOM is here so all I wanted to do was wrap up and cuddle on the couch but my amazing fiance wouldn't let me so to get me up he did it with me :) It helped having him do it with me, and I did notice I could do more than the very first time I did Jillian about a…

Just curious but are we doing 30 days straight through, or taking a rest day every other day, etc. Just so that I know what to expect and how to adjust my time. I have heard that it is good to take breaks every other or every few days, but I also know a lot of people that just do it straight through, and honestly don't…

Here is the link to my before and after... don't see much of a difference, but my clothing size says different (28 to a 24) :D http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g332/lauren****ie/SAM_0335-1.jpg
