Look for something called the "Miracle Suit" if you want a slimming bathing suit. I know Eddie Bauer carries them in their catalogue. I'm not sure where else. It takes about 10lbs off (but can be a bit of a struggle to get in and out of LOL). I've had a couple and love them. Also, I find that if you get a strap that ties…

You look great!

You look in credible and red is a really nice colour on you : )

Amazing!!!!!

Holy *kitten*! Awesome.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll be great.

You should be proud. You're awesome!

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Great work.

You look great and I love your doggy!

You look AMAZING. Great work and thanks for sharing your story.

Really? Good to know.

Agreed 100%!!!!!

You handled that beautifully!

I also found that the MFP calories are way over the HRM calories. We all need to be careful about eating back the calories based on MFP.

You look great! Good work.

I've done that in the Okanagan Valley (British Columbia). So much fun... I keep telling myself that I need to get a wine diary so that I can keep better track of what I like and why. Of course, I always tell myself this after a few glasses, so I keep forgetting to do this : )

Well, from what I hear, JM's videos are hardly your typical beginner videos, so cut yourself some slack. The funny thing is, and I'm sure A LOT of people will back me up here, is that you will be amazed at how fast you start to get stronger when you first start. Give it a few more tries and soon you will not only finish…

Tough spot. The only way I would do it is if I had a legally binding agreement putting the land up for collateral and only if I could afford to make the payments myself (if only for a short-term period). With the land as collateral, it's not the same as just straight out lending money to someone. You could have some…

Hi Kelly, I am 20 years older than you but at your age, I was that exact weight. I was not very proactive in taking control of my weight back then. It's great that you are reaching out. There are lots of people with great advice on here, so if you can't get the support at home, I bet you'll get it here. I don't know if…

LOL, awesome.

Wow, I had no idea you had all of that going on SIM. Your personal story is also motivational. Talk about no excuses! You rock my friend. md

You look fantastic and I continue to be amazed at how much younger and happier people look in these photos. Well done!

My friends and I have this conversation all the time. Well, they are usually grilling me as I'm usually the only single one in the room : ) The older I get, the less deal breakers I have, but I'd say I have three considerations: 1) I have very little respect for joblessness due to laziness or lack of work ethic (in these…

I'm so sorry to hear this. Do whatever you need to in order to get through this difficult time. We're all here if you need support.

You look so fit and happy. Great work!

LOL. Awesome!!!!!

I do boxing drills with my trainer. I've punched myself in the face on more then one occasion : (

Maybe try some classes at first in order to get a routine going? Also, to help with the self-conscienciousness, maybe have a session with a trainer who can put a program together for you. When I first started at the gym, I hated going to the weight sections as I felt like I was just looking around in a daze trying to…

I'm 5'1" (and a half : ) My goal is 130 and then see how I feel. My main goal is to wear (and rock) a bikini. I feel all would be right with my world if I could wear a bikini :laugh:
