I will be honest, I have done them before and found them to be a waste of my money and all they did was make me feel nauseous for like an hour after taking them.

Awesome job! I know how hard that can be! I was raised with if it is on your plate you have to finish it no matter what! and if you pay for it, you have to eat it all! So very proud of you :drinker:

It doesn't leave you hungry or starving so long as you keep up on your water. but if you feel hungry, remember you can have all the fresh veggies you want! my biggest hurdle has been getting it into my head that just b/c i didn't "eat" something and "drank" a shake instead does not mean i need actual food. it took me a few…

I actually started this. I do one shake a day and some days do two. You can put three scoops in if two still leaves you feeling hungry. I do one shake when i get up, two hours later a snack, three hours later another shake, three hours later a snack and then supper when my s/o gets home from work. still count your calories…

That's the way I am doing it! All by my self, my wedding party is going to hate me after this, lol! I know next month we are going to one of those party stores and getting decorations from there. Flowers a friend and I are going to make. Luckily for me, I have like five photographer friends so those are going to be cheap…

lol, that is a great day to get married! That is also my wedding date!!!!

Congrats, Ladies!!! Maybe we can also share ideas? I am getting married in less than 9 months and have not planned anything! lol, really need to get the ball rolling!

I'm there! Getting married April 21, 2012! Trying to put off dress shopping until January! I that is cutting it close but I want to lose some weight first! 70 lbs and I will be happy... for now! Let's do this!

That is great! Keep up the awesome work! It's always a compliment when they can't remember who you are because you look different from losing weight :-)

have you looked into skin firming wraps, like the it works wrap? i know those are a great way to tighten, tone and firm up your lose skin. i use them and love them! you can check them out here: http://alishatalsma.itworks.net

Congrats! When is the big day? I am getting married April 21, 2012 and would love to support each other on the way! I am looking to lose 70+. Feel free to add me!

I love It Works!!! I actually am wearing an Ultimate Applicator right now!!! lol

i use one when i work out and love it! it doesn't feel like it is doing anything, then i take it off and it is soaked! i saw a big improvement within the first couple of days using it. I just got the $5 one from Wal Mart b/c I didnt want to waste my money and it works for me!

wow! great job!!! You look wonderful!!! p.s. congrats on getting the pics to work!!! lol :drinker:

nothing's coming up!

I have been doing them for about a month now. At first I wasn't hungry doing the shakes twice a day but recently I get hungry faster. Something you can do is add more liquid when you make the shake, add another scoop of shake mix, etc... feel free to look at my diary and you can see how I have been doing my meals and…

2005 Pontiac G 6 - stealth gray fiance drives a 1997 Chevrolet 1500 and a 1955 Ford F1-150 than as a family we have a 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo Pace Car- only 1100 of them made! pretty awesome!

I am 5' 4" and 235 lbs! So close!!! lol, would love to keep up with you on this journey!

I was thinking of trying the $5 one from Wal Mart so this really helped me! plus $5 isn't too much so it's worth a shot! Thanks so much!!!

I love the book The Lovely Bones but it was a prime example why books should not be made into movies! I couldn't even watch the whole thing! It was nothing like the book!

Thanks for all the input! I found a couple for sale for like $40 so I think I will give it a try! I don't work out and am really out of shape so I think it will be a good starter for the exercise for me! Thanks again!

I know it can be done! I have noticed a huge difference in mine in the last month or so of working out! Give it time and keep moving and before you know it, it will be gone!

i set mini goals while on the treadmill for myself. Like ok I can get to five more minutes if it is at 35 minutes so I am at an even 40. Or I tell myself it is at 3.75 miles I can work it to an even 4. or I burned 360 calories, what is another 40 after 360? I got this! just things like that seem to help me tremendously!

congrats! that is awesome! keep up the good work!

I am 5'4', weigh 235 lbs and wear size 20 jeans.

I dont do it in a gym... none around here! Maybe I will try it again and focus more on my posture! Thanks for the tips!

Thanks, Everyone! Your support is what keeps me going... and seeing changes like this! lol :drinker:

baked porkchops and veggie mix. taking it easy tonight!

WOW! that is gross... but hilarious!
