That was one of the most inspirational stories that I have read :) I too have my bad days, but when I wake up the next morning I just push myself harder and workout even more and you are right. you are worth it :)

In the mirror it depends what I am wearing usually, I tell myself I look good, but as soon as the clothes come off, I notice exactly what I need to change in certain areas which are mostly my hips, thighs and stomach. I used to be a size 14 and now I am size 10, but I don't see a difference except the numbers on my…

I am also looking for friends. I am not new, but I have come back with a lot more motivation. I log in daily as well, keep up the great work :) feel free to add

Great job :)

Once a week. Pick a day and when you wake up weigh yourself. If you weigh yourself too many times, you're just going to be disappointed with yourself considering the body fluctuates a lot.

I am going through the exact same thing except I stopped for 4 months and went from 141 to 153. I do not know why I stopped, but I did.

I tried the turbo program but honestly found it very boring. I have an an xbox with a kinect so now I do zumba. Before I fell off the bandwagon for a few months, I did zumba fitness for 4 weeks plus exercise videos on youtube from fitness blender which are fun. I stuck to a 1100 cal diet for this period and I lost 11 lbs…
