Thank you all for the great suggestions. Today is another day. It doesn't help me much that mu husband, who was doing this along side me, has been battling depression and therefore not really dieting or working out. In the beginning, I was competing with him. I have a very competitive nature and was constantly trying to…

I've gotten the "When are you due?" pregnancy question. Ironically I was pregnant but only 8 weeks so would not have been showing yet. I was out jogging after losing 50lbs and some punk kids yelled some really crappy stuff at me like "Look at the fat *kitten* jiggle." One of his friends said, "All of her jiggles. Not just…

I say real pale. There are only 2 shades of me: pasty white and lobster red. I am German & Swede and I'm about as pale as they come. I burn before I tan and then the tan peels off even if I use a bucket of moisturizer. I say go with what God gave you.

It came from church. God is a beautiful being so anything that comes from his house is calorie free. LOL. Just guesstimate. I'm sure there is something in the database that is similar.

Welcome and good luck! Since I have been on this site, I've gotten lots of support, advice and I've lost enough weight that my doctor took me off my blood pressure meds a few months ago. You're going to do great!

NEVER ignore your body. It's trying to tell you there is a problem. GO TO THE DOCTOR. ASAP. DO NOT WAIT. Even the healthiest people can have problems even they aren't aware of. Get yourself checked out.

This is AMAZING! It's going on my fridge too. THANK YOU!

I don't have an answer either, just a wishful thought: someone needs to punch the 50yr old teenager in the throat. Not that you could ever really do that because she sounds like the kind of woman who would press assault charges even though it's what she deserves. But it's fun to think about...

I've been at this for 10 months. It gets easier. Once the pounds start falling off you'll find yourself motivated to lose even more. And after a while of eating right, you'll find your body no longer craves those bad foods as much as it used to. Though I still haven't learned how to curb my chocolate craving. I don't…

I don't give them up. Like a lot of the people who have chimed in, I find a healthier alternative or I work it into my daily count and save room for a treat. I am a S'mores junkie. I have one nearly every night, but the way I make them they are like 175 calories. There are ways of staying healthy and still eating what you…

Step 1: Call Nordic Track or the delivery company and raise holy hell about them not even TRYING to fit it in the door it needed to fo through. You paid all that money to get it there and by God it should be there. Step 2: Look how far you've come. 32lbs is nothing to sneeze at. But I'm like you. I tend to focus on the…

I think you're doing a fine job. They're not all going to like the same things all the time. I have two girls who are 2 & 4. I'm lucky because my youngest thinks the sun rises and sets on her big sister and therefore they like a lot of the same things. The problem I run into is that my 4yr old is really anal and thinks…

I do her this workout all the time. I'm on level 2 now. This is the only workout I've ever done where I can feel it in every muscle from my head to my toes. She works EVERYTHING.

It took me about 5 months to lose my first 50. I have a lot more to lose than you so they came off a bit easier though. Funny that your extra fat actually helps you burn more calories. I have 56lbs to go and those are proving to be the most tricky. You'll get it though. Sometimes it takes your body some time to get in the…

Thank you all for the great compliments. I forget sometimes how far I've come because I focus too much on how far I still have to go. It's not always easy to remember that this journey is a sum of parts and all those parts count!

My man is hard working, loving, a great father, a wonderful listener, a good cook, a fantastic lover, a mechanic, a maid, a pet groomer, an accountant, a comedian. He is my rock, my north star. He pulls me back when I've gone too far. I does not judge me. He knows what to say when I'm sad. He knows how to make me laugh at…

I had a health scare in the form of an anxiety attack and thought I was having a heart attack. My daughters are ages 2 and 4. I want to see them grow up and have daughters of their own some day. After the anxiety attack, I went into a depression. It took a lot of self searching to figure out what had me so depressed. I…

I just feel better all around and that makes me happy. I have more confidence and more energy. I can play with my kids more. I don't come home from my sit-down job feeling tired. I am better mentally and physically. I no longer have high blood pressure and I have collar bones now. Who knew just having collar bones could…

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred for sure. It's strength, cardio and core training in a hard-core 20 minute video. I feel lie I want to die by the time it's over, but I feel like $1,000,000 when I'm done. It's like $10 at Walmart.

I'm American, but I believe you guys would say, "Bloody brilliant!" LOL. Fantastic job. Very inspirational. You make me want to get up and 4:30am tomorrow and burn some calories.

Welcome! Everyone on this site is so helpful and welcoming and non-judgmental. I can't tell you how many people on here have helped or inspired me to continue on this long and at time tiresome journey. Hang in there and try your hardest every day and you can't go wrong. We all have some bad days, but here, you'll have lots…

You look amazing. Very inspiring! Keep up the great work!

You are truly awesome and such an inspiration. It's nearly 10pm and I'm sick but after seeing your pics and reading your post I want to go get on the treadmill or pop in a Jillian Michaels DVD. Truly amazing. Be proud. Flaunt it. You have so totally earned it!!! PS - You are a total hottie. If I weren't married... Great…

I myself don't do it, but I have small children and when they are with me I do it all the time. It seems like inevitably they tell me they are hungry while we're shopping. We open gold fish or Teddy Grahams and I admit, I share, but we've never polished of a whole box. Too funny!

I know how you feel. I lost 76 ponds in 8 months and I've been stuck at the same weight now for a month. I have been hovering just above the 200 mark for all this time and I've been beating myself up about it. Fact is, the only one who can fix it is me. I've lacked motivation to excercize, but have still been sticking to…

I feel guilty ALL the time. Especially lately because I've been slacking both on calorie counting and on excercize. My husband is constantly telling me that I am being too hard on myself, that I've lost 76 pounds already and that was not easy and a HUGE accomplishment. But in my mind, if I can't get off the last 56 pounds…

Thanks so much, everyone! And I have tried 30 Day Shred. I love it because it works EVERYTHING. I hurt for two days after I do her workout. Guess I just have to keep at it.

You couldn't have picked a better site to begin your adventure. EVERYONE on here is non-judgemental and VERY supportive. Welcome to the site and best of luck to you!

If I do Pet and Mom's maiden name I'm Frisky Ray. Pet and street I'm Frisky Terrace. Either way, I have a super fun porn star name!

Welcome both of you! I've been a member of this sight for about 6 months now. It's been amazingly helpful and supportive. I've lost 72lbs but still have about that much to go. I used to weight 282lbs and three weeks ago I ran a 5K! Now I feel like I can conquer the world. Best of luck to you and your weight loss adventure.…
