Steak, lobster, salmon, sushi, Chinese takeout. We eat at home 80-90% and most of the things I'm too exhausted to make, I'd add to the menu! Stop! Now I'm hungry!

If you're miserable when you're living healthily. And can't have anything fun. Chances are the changes won't be permanent. Managed (back in the day like 4 years ago) to lose a significant amount of weight. While still calculating the calories and drinking. I drink WAY less now. And losing weight is a $&*[ now. So. No.…

Beautiful!!!!!

I had thought of a tattoo as well. However it's expensive. I've already reached my goal...so...I'm just procrastinating I guess. Buying clothes while constantly losing weight is a bit of a win lose situation. But I have found I am more drawn to clothes I wouldn't have looked at twice before. Just because the things I never…

Church dude:)

more strength training needed most definitely. I'd look into trying www.fitnessblender.com for at home things you can do with no weights or with dumbells. No crazy equipment, and NO COST. They are NOT for selling you crap you don't need and it's been VERY helpful to keep me motivated. Since I started I thought my legs were…

I'm Kindof here, but not yet. Clothes continue to get loose, but weight is stubborn. Change up the routine CONSTANTLY. I don't do the same thing ever. Each week I switch it up to keep my body confused. Seeing visual results, as opposed to number ones by now. Which also means you could be very close to the goals? *fingers…

Choir/band (bass) and all things musical. Choir geek mostly:) LOVED it!

www.fitnessblender.com free workouts online. Strength, cardio, whatever you are in the mood for. With or without warm ups can be done under 30 min. Or longer. All at home only needing dumbells, if that. From beginner to advanced. They are AMAZING. I got bored with Jillian michaels and this is NOT that. Much more…

Beer and wings. I generally eat whatever I want within the calories. But I have to cheat because I can't stand restricting myself all the time. So date night with hubby blew 1200 cals on 24oz of beer and wings. Hey, I've still l

5'5 My first goal was 130. And secret goal of 125. However currently plateaued at 137. Not sure how long I'll be here. Apparently the closer you get to your goal you slow down quite a bit. And as I'm more concerned with lowering body fat so I can see my abs I have a feeling I'm going to just lose inches mostly from now on.…

Beautiful! It's amazing how different and younger?! Your face looks.

Yes it works! Has worked for me so far.

I'm 5'5 and started running for weight loss. The closer I got to my goals the more I realized I didn't have a "skinny" me in my head, but fit. I realized I wanted those fit arms, back and finally a flat stomach. As I was asking around here at MFP I was told weights would get me closer to my goals. Since I started doing the…

Andy McNally from rookie blue. She's feminine and cut. LOVE her arms!

Hey! My nam is Darlene. I'm a stay at home mom of 2. New to MFP. As for being an awesome mentor for weight loss? Well I'm still on my way. But I'd be up to encourage you, share what I've learned and what's working for me. And I am a Christian as well. Not just on Sundays either;) lol. But really it's an every day thing. A…

Thanks everyone for their insight. I've just added as heavy as I can to the DVD I'm currently doing, and have only done it 3 times, but can already tell a physical difference. Now if I only knew this 10 years ago! Gonna tell everyone I know:) I've lost 4 pounds in 2.5ish weeks, and I NEVER lost weight like that ever before…

Exactly!! Same same

Ok, so then I have one question. Would Jillian Michaels ripped in thirty be considered "lifting" Or proper weight training? There is strength incorporated as well as HIIT (which I enjoy for endurance). I am going to try this instead of running 3 times a week and see how it goes at 4-5 times a week. I hope to be ripped but…

I have a set of light weights. But that's all. Oh and a stretchy band thing...sorry forgot the name the one from 10 minute trainer anyway. Also 2 kids appx 21 and 25 lbs. could squat holding them I guess;)

Agreed. Feeling a little slow not understanding the term. I will not go to a gym and do all my exercising at home. So anything I can do there?

I've done the couch to 5k app and it takes you 8 weeks and you're running. I did not run...EVER. I'd run a block and be winded. Now I'm running 3ish miles appx 2-3 times a week. It's different for everybody but I prefer my treadmill at home. (Best exercise equipment out there for those who like to walk, but live in crazy…

Hey! I got two babies almost 3 and 1 (July 21st). After my first baby I was very motivated to lose weight as I saw a number too close to 200 at the height of pregnancy. As well looking back at pictures of myself was very depressing. So I was losing weight by just exercising I could NOT be bothered to change my eating…
