You look great! Keep up the amazing work. :)

You look amazing! Keep up the great work!

Feel free to add me as well. I've been on this site for over a year and it's been very helpful. :)

I feel the same way. I only try to focus on myself but I get frustrated when I see people eating crap and making excuses.

I log it as low or high impact aerobics depending on how much I've done. I also see people logging it in as cardio.

I still eat whatever I want however I eat those foods in moderation and in smaller portions. I find it harder to give up on something because then I'll have a tendency to binge on it. I've also noticed that my body rejects most junk food and I don't want to eat it anymore. What motivated you to lose weight in the first…

Read a book. I like to crochett.

I buy the ones at Trader Joes and they are so good. I was thinking about making my own so thanks for this!

You look like a new person. Great job!

I love watching those types of shows. Too fat for 15 and I used to be fat are great too. I only wish I could have the same opportunity. All they do is workout all day for months. No wonder they see such rapid results! Here I am hoping to lose 1 pound a week and they are loosing 10! :)

I've been doing Zumba for months now and I love it. Don't worry if you don't get the steps down perfectly. As long as you keep moving you'll get a great workout and it burns tons of calories :)

I agree. My scale keeps me discouraged if it's not moving or the numbers are going up. My pants on the other hand are my best friend when I feel them getting looser! :)

Welcome! Add me as a friend if you'd like. This site is amazing and I wish you luck on your journey.

Congrats! Add me if you'd like :)

I posted something like this a week ago. I've noticed that most people haven't given up anything they just tend to eat it in moderation.

I was going to post a similar question. There is someone on my friends list who goes over on calories and then spends the entire day trying to burn them off. Some of the food is healthy and some isn't. I don't say anything because maybe this is working for her. If she wanted advice I'd give it but I don't think it's any of…

You look amazing! How long did it take for you to lose 50? That's such a great accomplishment!

Don't worry. I go throught the same thing. One day I feel "skinnier" and I can notice the changes in my body, and other days I feel like my actually weight and my body looks like it never changed.

Don't purchase the food you know you will binge on. If it's not around you won't eat it.

It seems like many of us have given up something we know isn't good for us. The main item here seems to be soda. I was just wondering if anyone saw a difference in weight loss if they gave up a food or drink that wasn't so healthy in the first place? Some give up carbs, red meat, processed foods and soda, but is giving up…

The days when someone says I look skinny or a day when I put on an item of clothing and it fits better or looser :)

Great feedback everyone. Keep it up!

I used to have no will power when it came to sweets and junk food. Don't deprive yourself of these foods just eat them in moderation and only have a serving. You'll get used to it.

I started in January and I've lost 9 pounds too. I try to look at it as a positive! I don't worry so much about what I could have done but more about what I have done and what I'm currently doing. I say job well done. :)

My tap water doesn't taste the best so I add a crystal light packet or lemon wedges to get it down. I' m not sure why the water would be giving you gas though.

Maybe because when people call you fat or call themselves fat it seems like they have the plague or something. It's not the best of words. I'd rather be called fat them obese!

I log it under Aerobics. I bought a HRM but I don't think it's too accurate so I use the numbers on here.

I was just having a conversation with my bf the other day about people who steal. He knows some kid who stole an i pod touch and then proceeded to sell it for weed money! I told my bf that even though those things can be replaced there is nothing worse then knowing someone stole your property and could be using it or…

Zumba!

If it is a healthy cereal without much sugar I will measure about 1.5 cups and I use skim milk. I also try to add fruit to my cereal so I can stay full until lunch.
