Also a teacher, feel free to add me :)

Wine was the main thing that got me to my biggest weight....I could down 1.5 or 2 bottles in one go, several times a week. Let's not even get into how hungry it makes me and how if I don't eat fast food then I will get terrible stomach aches the next day :sick: Now I still love it, but I am aware that the calories are such…

What she said :)

Just watched Level 2 and am so scared, haha :) If I survive, I think I want to do some strength training, with aerobics classes at the gym mixed in as well! I will look at my budget and see if I can meet up with a trainer even once a month to check my form and progress, and give new exercises so my body doesn't adjust and…

I really needed this thread...I've been working out and changing eating for only a few weeks, but it is SO easy to get discouraged by not seeing visible results! If you work this hard, it should reflect right away, right? Except it is not like studying for a quiz and then going from a D to an A. I have to remember that…

That's great :)

Day 5 and it IS getting a little better! I can do better on cardio and abs, but am still struggling with side lunges/arm raises. I am looking forward to getting all the way through the lunges and anterior raises!

~ Glad I'm not the only one who has only a few...maybe I can buy one or two to reward myself once I lose my first 10 pounds :) ~ Didn't know that sweat can degrade the materials, so I will try and do better with rinsing and hanging for now until I get more. ~ Love the suggestions about different brands and websites. I also…

Mine is my belly for sure. I guess I'm an "apple" shape because I hold nearly all my weight in my stomach region so it seriously looks like I'm pregnant. Have been asked that several times before. For what it's worth, I have been reading a LOT about fitness lately and all the articles/books/etc. say that you can't "tone" a…

It is a great feeling to resist temptation! One day this week I had "earned" enough calories with exercise that I immediately thought, "I can go get Chick-fil-A now because I can *afford* it!" I could have gone, but then I thought, do I REALLY want it? Or do I just want it because I CAN have it? I realized it wasn't a true…

Definitely agree with McNuggets guy here...if I have a double cheeseburger, small fries, and a Powerade, I don't even feel bad the next day. It IS magic!

My cat (we have only had her a month) has taken to finding ANY bread-related product we happen to leave out, clawing the bag, and taking bites out of it so we have to toss the whole thing. Somehow she got into a cabinet yesterday and attacked the saltines!!! I have been told cats love the smell of yeast....has anyone else…

I'm doing Day 3 today...going to be mixing up JM with other things so I think I'll be a little slower than others, but that is okay :)
-
Great work! I just finished Day 2 so it's great to see what others can accomplish on the same program :)
-
My boyfriend promised to go hiking with me this morning and then wouldn't get out of bed. I left his lazy *kitten* at home and went on the hike anyways. You could go for a walk to get away from the tension...and the ice cream ;) Maybe treat yourself to a movie out of the house to get away from things?
-
It's not a "feminine" term...he's just scared of any workout that could kick his butt! :)
-
Finally did Day 1 today! I was nervous about using 5lb weights so I used soup cans instead, and I think I can actually handle a bit more! Maybe I'll buy some 3lb weights...I remember using 5lb once before and I had to put them down, arms were sore for days. It's probably better to use something where you can make it all…

llstacy, I'll keep that link to read once I finish the book. As far as scientists having ideas going into testing, I think that's the whole point of experiments, to test your ideas and see if you are right...just my two cents on that. Lenora, that's a good point about more heavily processed foods! SJ, Thanks for the book…

My fitness assessment at the gym is tonight, so I start tomorrow...nervous but also excited!

25-year-old 5'4" chica here with 40 pounds to lose. It's great to surround yourself with people going through the same things as you, either in weight goals or age. Always looking for friends so anyone may add me :)
-
5'4" and around 180 right now, so I think we're in similar boats. I am always looking to build my support community, so I am welcoming to any friend requests :)
-
Fantastic job! You have kept the beautiful smile all the way through :) That is so awesome!
-
Not sure how they were before, but your legs look really strong and healthy! That's a great accomplishment :)
-
Funny about the husband :) Trying to get my boyfriend to join in with me, but he refuses to do anything with "shred" in the title XD
-
Welcome! I just joined a week or two ago and tracking is helping me learn a lot about calories and portion sizes...I have had MANY people tell me that diet is far more influential for weight loss than exercise (although exercise is still really important!). Most of my fat is on my belly as well, so I think we have some…

Thank you for being honest and letting us know we aren't the only ones out there :)

Hello! I just joined this site and would also like some friends to follow along as we start this :)
