  • You can do it!! It takes a time, discipline and a plan. Minor set backs will happen. Keep your head up and focused on your goals. Personally, I took it one week at a time, and didn't focus on the number. I'd just keep going, and pushing harder on the workouts and living by the 80/20 rule worked - eat healthy 80% of the…
    in 100 to lose Comment by MindainVA83 April 2015
  • Congrats to you first of all. I have lost 107lbs so far. I started Dec 2013, which as you can see, is not that long ago. I did exercise at home, but was completely lost as to what I was doing. I joined a gym mid Feb, and then got a personal trainer mid April. I don't really have a lot of sagging skin like i thought. At…

  • I have chocolate every day. It's the one that I tried to get away from, but decided I just couldn't. I make sure it fits in my calorie count, and so far, I've lost 101 lbs..soooo I'd say if it fits, enjoy!

  • I've been on my life change for 7 months now and I can tell you, my sweet tooth was NEVER as bad as it is now. I tried everything to get it to go away. I've come to find that if I give in just a little, it helps me chill out. Every day I have at least a piece of chocolate. Sometimes I'll have chocolate milk, hot chocolate,…

  • I work with a trainer and I do squats and lunges every single time, and it def makes a difference. We focus on everything, but these are always incorporated. I've been complimented on my legs, and I know it's b/c of these. Congrats on your weight loss by the way!

  • I have a Jawbone, and it does vibrate when you're inactive too long. You can actually set it to tell you. I actually had a fitbit for a few weeks, but didn't really like it, so I went for the Jawbone Up 24, and I love it.

  • I used to miss having a cheeseburger until I took a bite of one, it tasted waaaay different than I remembered. Don't miss it so much anymore.

    in My One Year Anniversary Comment by MindainVA83 March 2014
  • I'm in the same boat as you. I joined the gym a month ago, but the number on the scale goes up and down by 3lbs. It's frustrating. Everyone says the same, they can see I'm still slimming. I haven't taken measurements yet, but a trainer at my gym said the same thing. He said it can take about 8 weeks before the number…

  • I've been going to the gym for a month now, and haven't dropped a lot of weight, however, I have dropped inches. I really think it's that you're building muscle. Give it time. Keep it up!!

  • I did use Apple Cidar w/ Grapefruit and honey (Dr Oz Slimdown drink thing) when I first started, and I honestly think it did help. I am planning on starting that back up this week. Also, I drink green tea ALL the time. I always get the Salada 100% All Natural and it helps keep me full. I usually drink a cup around 11AM and…
