How sore were you in the beginning? I am about the same size you started at and so far strength training leaves me unable to move the next day! You really are inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.

You look great! Inspire me to keep going!

You look great! My husband worries about his chest staying as he looses weight but you are proof that he can tone it up with hard work! Great job! I am going to show him.

My gym has a saying on the wall that really helps me "that voice in your head saying you can't do this is a LIAR" . I am ready to be thin, that is what motivates me.

It takes hard work and dedication. It seems like even when I just take one cheat (popcorn at a movie, a coke etc) I am up 2/3 lbs. :( We gain easier and it is definitely harder to take off.

Thats so awesome! I had a knee injury and it was so hard to get my lift back so I fully understand how much hard work it takes. Congrats on such a big accomplishment!

I am liking the lick response :p

I wish I could afford the personal trainer too lol! Fortunately, through our gym, it worked out to like $12 per session which isnt too bad. I am committed this time whereas I feel in the past I haven't been. I wanted to add in strength training but wasn't sure how so I figured the sessions could help teach me and I could…

Hi guys! My name is Lisa and I have 85lbs to lose to meet my main goal. I am 5'8and 235lbs. I plan on reaching that and seeing where to go from there. I would love a support group :) I just started with a personal trainer Tuesday. I have ten sessions for 5 weeks and I am hoping she really helps with the strength training…

It is very likely that I need to increase my protein, Thanks...I look forward to it getting easier.

Hydraulics. The sell them at Maurices and IOVE the booty fit

Hi, my name is Lisa, and I have PCOS. ;) It's a pain. I suffer mostly from the weight and acne side effects. I have never managed it with medicine though. I am determined to lose the weight this time.

WOW! That little bit really made a difference. I recently had a pregnancy scare so my diet went out the window for two weeks. I put myself in check yesterday and am back on today! I love how much thinner your belly looks simply with a few pounds off. WAY TO GO!

I love her 30 day shred! Now if only the kids will let me do it! It's great for beginners though and you can go at your pace.

I am trying my hardest to make my weight loss more of a lifestyle change. These past few weeks I have started by meeting calorie goals, then added in the gym and now it is my goal to lear how to eat "right" I am one of the few I guess that appreciate when people who know about it than I do look at my diary and give me good…

I took a couple days off from logging ( I still lost 2 lbs!!) but it was sad when I came back and no one noticed lol. I would love to add you as a friend! Just stay on me if I am slacking!

For me eating Protein filled snacks really helps. A handful of nuts, a protein bar, a bagel thin with peanut butter or eggs (scrambled whites or hard boiled). ALSO, I always eat a good breakfast. Breakfast is so important when starting to lose weight. I hear you about being broke. For years that was my excuse as to why I…

I dont drink coffee, is there another way to mix it? Do they taste ok mixed other ways?

Thanks guys! I am going to add weights in today and I am going to try to get that book onto my kindle :o)

MFP has me on 1300 and I am doing fine. Not starving or anything. But I have ALOT to lose lol. 60lbs left. I definately think if you stick to the calories even without excericse it will come off. Even when you workout MFP just addds the calories back in so you can eat them. If I want something I just hit the gym longer so…

I eat them Every day, Lean cuisine. Typically 2 a day. I started January 1 and have already lost 8lbs. The sodium is 600mg on most. I compared it to "healthy" items in my cupboard out of curiosity and its similiar. The amount you need to support body functions is 1500mg. The American heart association recommends 2000mg per…

I am a MAJOR snacker. All day lol. And my excuse for falling off the wagon is always lack of food in the house. So I went to the store and spent more than I had to buy lots of low calorie snacks. you can google low cal snacks and get some great ideas. Baby carrots, Pickles are only 5cals! Skinny cow has 100cal ice cream…

Don't do it!!! Just remember that this little amount of hunger and misery will lead to a lifetime of looking great!!! Thats what gets me by!

I hearing AMAZING things about P90x and am going to give it a try. Netflix has some ok ones on the instant queue.
