yes yes yes yes!!!!

wow! we are right about the same with our weight and our weight goals.... you can do it!!!! feel free to friend me :)

OH...I SOOOO get this one!!!!!!! just today there was a GIGANTIC apple fritter in the break room.... want to know the worst part??? 99% of the time when we "eat out" or get lunch or donuts or breakfast or whatever...I am the one that has to pick it up. do you know how many lunches have ridden in my car that I haven't…

I'm sorry! looks like one of my cheat days, I especially love the red vine calorie, I could eat the WHOLE tub of those!!! :) you are ANYTHING but fat, but i understand the feeling. all you can do is drink lots of water and stay away from sugar tomorrow....

I am about 5 5, maybe a smidge shorter. My goal has been 135/139 but, just this week I decided that I REALLY want my goal to be 125 as well. I don't know if it's doable at 36 with 3 kiddos "under my belt" but, i am going to give it a shot. I wasn't really planning on talking about it much to people around me, just kind of…

i am with you on EVERY aspect in your post!!!! my dh says the same thing about diets...he's right though. and I need to give up sugar too. I did it for 40 days in feb/mar and it was awesome. I felt fantastic! but, like any drug a little bit after that is all it took to be back on the slippery slope :( IF you say NO today…

I just finished my first week of shred. you will LOVE it!!! I wanted a higher calorie burn so I have been doing level 1 and level 2 back to back...but, they are awesome! (except i can't do push ups for anything :

I agree with Grimlock1030!! I only say that because I just put my gym membership on hold and I truly believe i am getting a BETTER workout with videos than I did at the gym...... I'm doing jillians' shred and banish fat boos metabolism (they are only $10 each at target) also, beachbody.com has lots of choices, they are all…

you know I REALLY think cardio and strength, eating your correct number of calories by tracking everything will REALLY trim those areas down I wouldn't be too hard on yourself or too embarrassed! Those are the worst parts to try to lose...I think first you have to lose the "fat" and you will see those areas trim down. As…

I don't think so at all! I'm doing that! i've been doing either 2 levels of shred or shred and banish fat boost metabolism (GREAT cheap workout video of jillian's...holy smokes, i did it this morning!

I could kind of see them... I SOOOO would LOVE to be 123! i'm currently 147...how tall are you????

I LOVE that pic, way to go!!!!!!

DON'T give up!!!!!! what is it you are tempted with?? can you eat a little and track it?? EVEN IF YOU EAT it...just TRACK it ... you will feel better about moving on if you do! I JUST learned that and it's great. :) Sorry you are going through that right now though :( I get it!

have you looked up jeff galloway?? he is awesome and he is ALL about the run / walk ratio!!!!! I actually think you have a pretty good idea with the music too though! :) You can SOOO do this! when is the first half you are thinking of doing?

I agree!!! or if you aren't very hungry eat some soup like suggested, or some popcorn..... you don't have to eat your last 100 if you aren't hungry. but, if you ARE hungry i'm in total agreement with this post!

I THINK you can do it as a leisurely walk in the exercise section and know that you are likely burning MORE calories than that, but i doubt it would be enough of a deficit to hurt you with your intake. I would think of it as an extra boost to your fitness / weight loss goals! good job on those walks!!! :)

I think it's commendable for those that CAN eat in moderation. some of us, however, are completely addicted to sugar and moderation could be as detrimental as smoking in moderation when trying to stop smoking..... or drinking, or any addiction really. i LOVE the moderation idea, but, it typically starts a downward spiral…

thanks for putting it in perspective, you are very right!!!!! hard part for me is if I "fail" one time...it is a down hill spiral and it lasts for days...i'm on day 3 of splurging and not tracking... but,you are right...NOT failing... just tripped :) thanks!

it's the ellipitcal..i think it's how your foot is positioned orsomething b/c it happen to me too...... and i dont' have any glucose issues :)

I put mine on hold for the summer, i say save the money and get out there with your girls and ENJOY yourself!!!!!!!! I've been riding wiht my daughter on the back of my bike and i'm trying to do jm 30 day shred as well. :)

That is PHENOMENAL!!!!! way to go!!!!!

you aren't too far over.... do some cardio of some sort to hellp burn some of it, but if you can't.... cut tomorrow a little short...

you can do this!!!! Friend me :)

I try to look at the nutrition facts ahead of time, then I know what to order... and don't have "calorie" shock later when entering it in :) and a lot of the times salads have more calories/fat than a burger...be careful!

I have a digital scale, they dont' have to be expensive...maybe $20 or so. i weigh my food before cooking it. when i'm making a recipe i weigh all the foods, i love the "grams" because it seems more accurate than "oz" but, anyway, i will then weigh my completed dish and figure out how many servings there are. it may seem…

i have never even heard of it...interested...

i am with you on the excuses :) you can soooo do this!

you look AMAZING!! what an inspiration you are!!!!

i added you as friend and i have not started it yet.... wanted to start this morning... MAYBE tonight, but, probably tomorrow morning.

you look amazing! good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
