One does not simply gain weight from one bad day of eating. Youre probably going to have several days where you "slip" I wouldnt worry about it just enjoy yourself then get back on track the next day!!!

Those are horrible things to say to somebody, those questions do not even deserve a response. I would cut the people who are asking those underhandedly cutting things out of my life completely and if i wasnt able to I would cut the talking with them about my weight loss to a bare minimum

what did you do to lose the weight?

As far as I know....I have cheated a bit on Christmas, New years ....and around Halloween....I feel like I should be losing more too...but when I read about other people...5 pounds in 2 months is fairly normal.....I know it sounds a bit cliche...but I think Im naturally muscular and fit....I could be wrong.... As far as I…

Thank you all for your kind words and motivation!!!

I would suggest to try and workout before you eat just because if you wait until after you wont have as much energy.

I used to be like that. I was bulimic when i was around your age. I used to eat dinner and then go take a shower and puke everything up. It worked for a whle until one night after eating pizza I went in the shower to purge and got the dough lodged in my esophagus and almost killed myself. After that I was too scared to…

This actually makes me want to cry! My sister is obese and seeing how sad and sedentary she is is extremely depressing. I really feel where you're coming from and I understand how hard it must be getting by in an extremely vain, shallow and fat hating society! Hugs!

LOL, nothing really to input except yes, weight training does make you feel badass and sexy! and LMAO Your weight loss scale quote is hilarious!!!!

WOW! 40 pounds just from strength training!!!??? You are my idol. That is my dream, cuz I love lifting weight and hate cardio!!!

WOW!! Your progress is amazing BTW! May I ask what weight you were when you started??? I feel discouraged now cuz Ive only lost 5 pounds in almost 3 months!!! :-(

I think walking is an amazing form of cardio. You can strap on your headphones and enjoy it while you burn a crap load of calories. I combine walking with aerobics and weight lifting and it does the trick. I cannot run or do those intense workouts that people are always saying you need to do in order to lose weight because…

Don't mean to play the devils advocate but I quit smoking in aug...I start my weight loss journey in OCT...I stupidly bought a pack last month. i only smoked 5 before I ripped up the rest and through them out...but during that week I easily dropped 2 pounds....IDK how or why...i think the smoke motivated me to work out cuz…

WO! I think you're doing great. Its taken me going on three months to lose that much! I wish I had your endurance and energy! Keep it up!

I think it does have a lot to do with it because the more you sleep the more energy you have to workout plus when you're asleep you are not eating calories.

Umm technically, legally, she cant. So mind your own business!!!

lol...I actually didn't mean to type out that whole thing in caps...I realized half way through and there was no turning back.

yes....

LMAO!!! Nothing wrong with a bubble butt sweetie!!! Wear it with pride!!!

Strength training will help you to burn fat faster and will help harden your shape (get rid of your flabby stomach) It will also help you improve your all over exercising (like cardio) because your muscles will have the strength to perform better therefore burning even more fat. Its a win win with weights! You do not gain…

Thats awesome, you lost a lot and you look great but can you share more about your diet/exercise routines???

I do find weight lifting helps tone your body and Idk why people are saying they dont lift weights cuz they only have 5 pound weights. I have only ever used 3-5 pound weights and they work fine, its just the way you use them. If you incorporate weights into your pilates, lunges and your cardio workout, they work just as…

I AM just a beginner, and I do find using 3 pound weights challenging. I thought the purpose of these forums was to help and encourage others and not make fun of them and be snarky. I guess theres just something about me that I have no control over that these unknowns just dont like. OH WELL not my problem. Have a good day…

Thanks for not using this post asking for advice as an opportunity to be condescending rude and discouraging.

umm Turbo Sculpt is strength training, maybe you should actually research stuff before you try to give advice about it.

Thanks for your advice without being condescending

If not by sweat, then what do you go by???

I think one of the very first things I mentioned was that my goal is to lose fat.

Im doing Turbo Jam cardio party and other turbo jam videos. Im absolutely exhausted and my muscles are sore after doing cardio party. Same for strength training, I do turbo sculpt, its not as fast paced as the aerobics or running or jumping jacks, and I sweat profusely just from using 3 pound weights. Im feeling my muscles…

Im in for losing, I want to lose at least 50lb by July 8th. The weight is coming off extremely slow, so Idk how Im gonna do it, but Im definitely in!
