I joined the challenge yesterday and first workout with my trainer is on Wednesday. Planning on hitting it hard the full 12 weeks!

I can only echo what has already been said....you certainly look so amazing now! The side by side picture with the purple hair you look utterly exhausted and then completely beautiful in the picture next to it. Good for you!!! Keep the positivity flowing, you certainly have earned it.

No! Drinking water will help you feel full while shrinking your stomach. The first couple weeks are the hardest. Stick with it and you can do it!!!

I'm looking to lose around a 100 ( wow, first time I've ever said/written that) and started 8/25 working out five days a week and eating healthy. In my quest to figure out exactly what I was eating, I found MFP about a month ago and if I eat it I record it, even the chocolate from Monday nights Christmas parade. Feel free…

I know what you mean about the salty / crunchy cravings, especially at night. Are you eating enough and a balanced diet throughout the day? Once I adjusted my diet and made sure I was eating a balance with small amounts of carbs and a little bit of salt the night time salty /crunchy cravings went away. My thought is a…

What are you throwing up? If it's food then I would probably reduce how much you are eating pre-workout. I've felt like this a couple of times but only when pushing myself VERY hard. Back off a bit since you just started out. The biggest thing is to stick with it. It took years to put weight on, it doesn't come off in…

I introduced HIT a couple of weeks ago to substitute for regular sustained level cardio and it has kicked my butt! The one I am following is basically: 4-5 minutes warmup at 20% 1 minute at 80% 1 min at 20% 1 min at 80% 1 min at 20% 1 min at 100% 1 min at 30% 1 min at 100% 1 min at 30% 1 min at 80% 1 min at 20% next ten…

are you keeping a food log? That is how I found MFP and I do it religiously, regardless of what it is. You can count the number of snack sized kit kats I gorged on during Halloween..... By doing this helps me at least be more conscious of value of what I am doing. I think about weight loss like a reverse money savings plan…

I've tried different weight loss plans, losing up to 40 pounds each time, even with doctor prescribed weight loss medication. Metabolic life actually taught me how my body reacts to different food and I lost just over 40 with them but it came back. My moment was this summer when none of my clothes would fit and my 9 and 3…

I joined a gym last March. First time I've been in a real gym in almost 20 years. Took the summer off and started back middle of August. I go five days a week sometimes twice on Thursdays. I really enjoy the people their and have really seen results since I got serious and changed my diet. Feeling like I had to go the gym…

Does your gym have a personal trainer? Talk to them about an introduction to the machines and see if they will create a fitness plan for you. They are running a business and it is in their best interest to help you so you feel comfortable and gain success. Tell them all your concerns and they will help motivate you. Don't…

I drink water as well when I get the cravings but honestly, since I usually eat all my carbs at breakfast, and don't eat much fat, the cravings went away after a few days. I never eat carbs after 3 PM and stop eating three hours before bed time. I have noticed that when I do get a craving, it is usually for something salty…

Gotcha. Saw that in your first post...duh! Great job!

Dang! You are PHAT!!! Great job!!!! edit: I went back and read your post on what you have done and that is pretty much what I am doing as well, although a little more food. How long did it take you to lose all your weight? 1.5 years?
