  • This and "Keep swimming" have been important to me. I've made it a point to focus on my schedule. Sticking to that schedule has been my milestone marker, rather than the scale so far. In fact, I'm not even focused on the scale right now. I'm just focused on eating well and moving. Moving every day. I've weighed myself…
  • If you're concerned that people will be "staring" because you're larger and running, take a look at this post. It's very motivating and give s great perspective on getting out there and just doing it. I'm starting my Couch 2 5K training next week and this definitely gave me an extra boost!…
  • I LOVE LESLIE! She's so motivating. I just love her spirit. I also love having an exercise that I can do at home and feel like I can really do everything they're doing in the workout. I just started TurboFire and I love it. But sometimes I can feel like I'm so far away from doing it the way Chalene and some of the others…
  • I have quite a bit to lose. I've been at it since January 1 and have been pretty consistently sticking with the changes I want to make. I vowed not to weigh myself until February 1, so I could just concentrate on the changes and the workouts (TurboFire) to get some non-scale victories and good habits started. I'd love all…
  • These are awesome! I particularly love "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." - Chinese Proverb. There is really no better time than the present. I can relate to not dwelling in the failures of missed opportunities in years gone by. Thanks!
  • I did Low HIIT 20 and Stretch 10. I wasn't that into it, but it was over before I knew it, as usual. I did it right before dinner, but I hope I can switch to morning workouts next week. It will be so nice to have it out of the way before the day even get started.
  • I'm in and could use all the accountability partners I can get! I've got a long road ahead of me (100+ to lose), so I look forward to participating in the MFP community over the long haul. Feel free to add me!
  • OLD NAVY ONLINE!!! They have a great selection of well constructed work out gear in plus sizes. The only downside is that they only offer plus sizes online, but mail returns are free and easy. The compression capris are a godsend for me! I have three pair that have lasted me over a year. They aren't too tight, but they…
  • I think "reasonably priced" is subjective. I didn't want to spend very much money on a HRM before knowing how much I would use it. I'd never used one before. Amazon had a great price for the Polar FT4 (chest strap and watch), which a lot of my friends use. It's a pretty simple set up. it doesn't link to anything online,…
  • You are truly an inspiration! What an amazing gift you gave yourself and others by your example. Thank you so much for sharing! I'm about the beginning of my journey and this will be a post I know I will revisit.
  • Welcome. I have over 100 lbs to lose. I've lost and regained and lost and regained and lost and regained .... in varying amounts. My goal this time around is to commit to the lifestyle and commit to myself. I've decided to focus on small goals that are related to behavior instead of the scale. So, first up, is to complete…
  • I'm a little bit older :) (about 30), but I have about the same amount to lose. I'm in it for the long haul and will definitely be adding all the friends I can get on this journey to stay motivated! Please feel free to add me too!!! P.S. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE crafting. LOVE.
  • I ordered my Turbo Fire and it will be here on Saturday and I can't wait. Please add me! I need all the accountability I can get! Happy sweating everyone!
