  • I did it guys! I weighed in at 171.6 pounds this morning!! :D I'm down a total of 15 pounds now and feeling unstoppable!
  • I love the booty lifting videos. I'm very hour glass shaped, but it's always good to work on my butt. My personal favorite is one the Brazilian butt lift one that's like 36min long. It's fabulous and I can tell my butt is getting rounded and tighter.
  • My boyfriend and I are doing FB Fit together and we started yesterday. Today's workout was brutal, but we really pushed ourselves and did the extra-credit burn video, too! 10 different variations of squats, 10-rep sets, and oh the burn! We're gonna be sore tomorrow, but I'm proud of us and really excited. I've been using…
  • This sounds like a fun challenge. I'm in! Starting weight: 187 pounds Current weight: 177 pounds September goal: 172 pounds Ultimate goal: 135 pounds
  • Plus I use Kernel Seasoning's popcorn shakers in white cheddar flavor to trick me into eating more vegetables sometimes. It's delicious and only has a few calories, so it's not as bad as dumping real cheddar cheese on your veggies.
  • I'm a garbage disposal for food, so unfortunately I can't sympathize with being a picky eater, but weight loss is a slow battle with your mind and stomach to learn how to eat smaller portion sizes. Not all calories are created equally, so it is obviously better to eat healthier foods if you can tolerate them, but even just…
  • Yes, it does get easier, but we all still get tempted, and heck, I give in to that temptation more than I should. Just remember to forgive yourself for being human if you do slip up, rejoice in small victories, and keep pushing forward. Congrats on the 7.1 pounds! That's definitely something to be proud of. Sculptures are…
  • Thanks for the motivation everyone! I'm now down 10 pounds and feeling pretty proud. My pants certainly fit better. I've got approximately 40 pounds left to go according to my in-body scan, but I'm 20% closer than when I started!
  • Thank you guys for the feedback. I'm glad to know I'm not alone! The "only eat your cheat foods at a restaurant or at another person's house". I'll definitely have to try that. It also takes a bit more effort to leave my house and cheat rather than just cheat with something I already have, so that works well with my…
  • The mental roller-coaster ride: How you can go from completely motivated and happy one second to feeling like the entire process is futile and you'll never be skinny enough the next second. How frustrating it is when even your best friends and family try to sabotage your journey by convincing you that it doesn't matter or…
  • The key to understanding your actual weight loss progress is consistency. I always weigh myself first thing in the morning, while naked so that the weight of my clothes is never a factor. However, as long as you understand that your weight fluctuates by a couple pounds throughout the day and on various days (especially if…
  • My goal is set for 1200 a day, but I usually use that as a minimum and not a maximum goal. Realistically, I'm probably averaging about 1300 per weekday and then about 1500-1600 on weekends when I "cheat" (just eat normally because usually I'm visiting family). My basal rate is somewhere around 1600-1700 and I'm 5'4". I can…
  • Yep, I have cellulite, too. Ironically, mine gets WORSE when I lose weight (I'm assuming because my skin gets a little looser?) and it seems to get slightly better when I hydrate myself well by drinking lots of water and scrubbing the back of my legs/butt and putting on lotion. Lotion helps a lot. So does tanning lotion…
