I noticed my voice is changing. It was more high-pitched when I was heavier, but I noticed a few days ago that my voice has gotten deeper, and lately I use my diaphragm more than my throat when speaking (if that makes sense). I only weigh myself every 12 weeks, but at last check in I've lost 20lbs. I'm wondering if maybe…

Another 6'0 gal... you're my body twin! Congratulations B)

Worked on my treadmill desk for 3 full days this week :)

Incredible!! Way to go :bigsmile:

Just speaking from personal experience here. I currently work a desk job, but before I got my degree I was a waitress. I can tell you having a sedentary job makes losing weight much more difficult. Now that I am at a desk all day long I really have to be on the ball as far as calorie counts. As a waitress, it was much…

lost 10 dozen eggs... looking to lose a 2 month old horse :tongue:

Started going to the gym at 5am this week and didn't miss a single day!

Well said!

Ate 2 months of Personal Trainer Food (lunches and dinners only). My take: Pros food tasted really good convenient for people who dislike cooking (like me) cooks up quickly (2-3 mins) makes it very clear when you are eating more than you planned. low calorie but filling Cons Expensive!!! The breakfasts were lack luster:…

I'm in the middle of a little slump right now. No weight loss last week and with the way I have been eating this week I'm not expecting a loss at next weigh in either. I'm trying not stress out it or use it as an excuse to quit. I am trying to come to peace with the fact that slumps are an eventuality, especially if you…

At least 2 people in the T25 videos are over 40 :) I'm in my 30's but am working off old injuries. I try to pace it so I'm going slow enough to keep correct form, but fast enough to keep it challenging.

This. Way to go!

I think I just found my new mantra. Thanks! :glasses:

I'm not crazy about the comments either. Especially at work. If someone pays me a quick compliment it doesn't bother me, but the ongoing commentary (is THAT all you're having for lunch?) is irritating. That said, if anyone were to ever show genuine interest in advice on eating or workout regimen I don't mind offering up…

Great progress! Congratulations :)

Your post is very inspiring, Congratulations!!

This is exactly what I needed to read. Great advice, thanks!

So far only my friend at work has noticed and said my face slimmed down. My pants are only a little bit looser so it's not really noticeable yet. Honestly though, I am NOT looking forward to the questions. I have lost in the past and never liked to discuss # of pounds. I don't mind talking about exercise regimens or diet…

This exactly.

My "too small pants" are starting to fit much better on me :happy: Once my "too small pants" do fit, I get to start over with another pair of "too small-er pants" :grumble:

^^^^^^Smart plan!^^^^^^

I'm still at the beginning of my journey, so my "little things" are quite little, but still worth acknowledging, so here goes... -My pants are fitting better. I don't feel like dressing for work is a fight against my clothes every morning. -I have more energy. -Since restricting carbs in my diet, I don't feel powerless to…

You look wonderful! Congratulations :happy: I check the success stories almost daily. Thanks for sharing your inspiring story :flowerforyou:

"TOPIC: So can we put this topic to bed now?" Yeah, because that was your intent for posting this. ....Right.... :indifferent:

I do a cheat meal (still log it). An entire day of cheating is too much for me.

Hi, Just finished my 2nd week of Alpha (the first phase). I like it so far but I have prior injuries that have been acting up a little bit so for now I've decreased to 3d/week. Overall though I think it is a great program - very doable. I feel like there is almost no excuse in the world to not fit in a 25 minute workout,…

Yes. Always. If I can't find the nutrition label on whatever it is I am eating, I'll look it up online or at worst I would even guess if I had to. There is the accountability, but also I am the type of person that if I fall of the wagon with one cookie, I'll start telling myself I should give up and eat a whole bag.…

I only wear frumpy stretchy clothes because none of my nicer clothes fit. I stay in the house instead of going out because I don't want to be seen like this. I was sick of getting out of breath from climbing a few stairs or walking at a faster pace. Sick of the knee pain. Sick of avoiding the mirror. Sick of eating…

Hey tall ladies!! Height 6'0 SW - 280 CW - 269 GW - 180 I'm just guessing on 180 for a goal weight for now. i think I'll know better when I get around the 200lb mark.

I too partaketh in the metal :) My favorites when I was going to the gym: Danzig White Zombie Sabbath Judas Priest Motorhead
