You are still early in the process. It took about 3 weeks for me to see any changes on the scale. Stay encouraged and keep up the good work!

Awesome work! I love ypur "happy place t-shirt"!

Big Hugs! First, I know it imust be hard to not have a supportive spouse who makes awful comments about your weight and food choices. Though I am sure you know that you are the only one that matters, you want to feel support, love and motivation from the one person that you love and who is suppose to love you the most. I…

Well, there are so many "aha moments" (as Oprah would say), but I think that the biggest wake up call for me was when I went to workout with my trainer, and he took me on a brisk walk. I swear it was less than 2 miles, and I was so out of breathe, I struggled to complete the rest of the workout. I had to stop several…

oreo cookies. There is no portion control when dealing with them!

From the looks of my cousin who just started the program two days ago, you will need lots of Epsom salt, muscle pain cream, and the will to push though to finish. Good Luck!

WOW, THE COUNT DOWN MAKES IT SO REAL!

Cheeseburgers are usually my weakness, but I will not touch that.

My mom

I can wear Misses sizes and I can walk 5 miles without feeling like I am going to die!

I can't either. My arms are like wobbly noodles, but I am getting stronger every day, and one day I will be able to! Keep Trying!

I always make my own pizza now that I am trying to cut down on calories. I realized that I could get more healthier ingredients and less fat by substituting high fat and calorie ingredients the chains use.

What an awesome difference! You look wonderful!

I would like to wait until the end of the challenge to post the before and after pictures together also, but I love seeing all the inspirational pictures posted. Keep them coming!

add me, please!

Don't workout while you are sick. I just fought off a stomach bug, and my eating and workout were off. I still lost while giving myself time to heal. Your body will thank you for it.

GREAT JOB. It is so excited to watch positive changes in our bodies after weeks of hard work and eating well!

I did not eat cookies or get pizza or a fast food hamburger. I choose salad with my own dressing or half serving of the store's dressing. I also only drank water though I bought juice for my kid and hubby. I admire those of you who can resist Krispy Kreme donuts. I dare not go there, because that is a major weakness for me!

YOU LOOK AWESOME! You are a TRUE INSPIRATION

Don't get discouraged. I say check your sodium intake also. Eventhough you stayed in your calories, resorts often have highly processed foods, and that can make you retain water. Just drink lots of water and stay with your calorie alloment and exercise!

Hi Naomi! Glad to see you hear. Sugar is a powerful drug. I had some ice cream on my flexible day, and I actually started nodding off at work. I felt horrible later, and I realized that for me, I can't do ice cream and heavy sugary drinks. I use to drink 2-3 biggie sweet teas a day, and I let it go. You can do it! We all…

ME!!!! We can shop for a hot party outfit to celebrate!

CONFIDENT

I use to have the same issue. I committed to make time. I get up at 4:30 a.m., and hit the gym no later than 5:15 a.m. I am done by 6:30 a.m. and I go home and start my day as normal. If a gym membership is not an option right now, here are things I did to get some exercise in: 1. If you drive, park your car as far away…

What an awesome gift to yourself! You look GREAT! Thanks for the inspiration!

No, if my mom needed to stay with me, she can do so for free. She didn't charge me for the years I stayed with her.

AWESOME JOB!!!
