Girl, that's your birthday money! Spend it on yourself! I know it's hard to do! Buy the Bodybug and save the rest! Or Spend the rest! You deserve it and it will help you on this journey! DO IT!

That is great! Who knew you could beat your BEST time so soon! WOW!

Great Job! Your Family is beautiful! :)

My hubby works for Madonnas Dad, along side her brother, at his vineyard & winery, I cut her step-moms hair. Michael Moore has a bit to do with the Traverse City community. Tim Allen has a house here, Bruce Willis and Demis children went to school here. Supposedly ppl come in on their Yachts and hang out in the Bay in the…

Very Nice! I'm inspired... :)

You are amazing! I see such a difference, you are such a great inspiration! :)

Hi! I am going to start week 3 tomorrow. When I started C25K I could run 2 full miles without stopping, so I felt it was silly to start at week 1, but I decided to anyway. Which was a great thing to do! Week one made me so tired by the end! I felt very rubbery and almost quit a few times. Even week 2 makes me tired. I read…

I used it 2 years ago, my doctor prescribed it to me, It made me feel crazy. I couldn't get to sleep at night and would lay in bed restless, after 3-4 hours of sleep I'd be up wide awake going a hundred miles an hour. I stuttered on my words, my brain was foggy feeling, I'd drive to work and once I got there I couldn't…

wow he looks great! I never would have thought he was 52 though. He is proof to us all that weight can be lost. I mean, seeing him on tv all these year heavy, and now he's lost all that weight, well we all can do it too! Hurray for Drew!

I am having a hard time also. Maybe we could motivate each other to get the job done! Its hard to get back to it, but I always feel better when I do. I just need to force myself to do it. I also do a lot better when I have a partner or someone to hold me accountable. Good luck to you!

Lane Bryant has the best bras. I have on that can cross in the back and that holds me up, then if I am going to jog or play tennis I wear a sports bra over that. In everyday life I wear Lane Bryant bras, they work great!

Sounds like my husband! I love the 'love goggles'! That is great. Its great that our men love us the way we are. :)

Mine doesn't, and I prefer to keep it that way. 8yrs ago when we started dating I weighed 20lbs less than him, now I weigh 12lbs more, even after I have lost 13lbs, and he has even gained around 20! I am sure he has a general idea, when I was in the hospital in 2006 I had to say my weight in front of him, and I am heavier…

I love to crank my music up! I put the most upbeat songs on, and tend to go faster with faster songs, and so on. Yesterday, I moved the treadmill in front of the TV and flipped between my two favorite stations. I was on for 75 minutes! I put a towel over the time and speed, and just go for what feels good, and adjust as…

MFP, because it goes by your weight. The machines unless you can enter your weight, go by a standard 150lb weight or something.....

Wow! I used to get Happy meals all the time! Never been asked or told that! I purposely drive around the fast food strip that is on my way home to prevent getting fast food. However, if I were in that situation, I would have done the same thing. Perhaps got the chicken nuggets though!

My thought would be practice! I took dance class from 5yrs old to 13yrs old, even after 14 years (and gaining 80 pounds) I can still do the splits! I can still kick my face too! lol

I sweat tons! Plus my face gets really red, just my face, nothing else. Just yesterday I was red faced and had sweat dripping off my face when I was doing my stretches after the treadmill. I could actually see the sweat drips on the floor! My hair on the back of my neck gets really wet too, which sucks because I have curly…

I am sweaty no matter what.... one day I was on the treadmill with a sweatshirt on and thought I was gonna die. When I got off, I was really overheated and didn't feel well at all for the rest of the night. Don't overheat your body! Get one of those rubber type material bands to wear around your waist. I use mine…

I understand it. When you set up your account you tell them what kind of life style you have, and how much you want to lose. To maintain, I need 2270 calories a day, and that is with a life style of exercising weekly and burning 1170 calories a week, through exercise. To lose 1.5lbs a week, still burning 1170 calories a…

I do not count my cool down. However I punch in my time and speed for my calories, so, if I walk for 30 minutes and cool down for 4 or 5 meaning a total of 34-35 minutes, I don't add those last 4-5 minutes in. I probably have like 300 minutes not added in!

I think we all have a day or two like that....don't worry, just get out from under that train and hop back on! Yesterday is the past, and today is a new day. You are aware of it, and that is the first step to success! Good Luck!

In the morning! Make yourself get up! It will make you feel so great and energized throughout the day! Then you don't have to worry about fitting it in later. Plus you might find that it might make your feet hurt less! Possibly!?

Cold coffee drinks (like Starbucks (which I am sure helped me get to where I am these days)) and margaritas.

I say do what is best for you. Maybe get it and do it one day a week for like 20 minutes and do something else you are comfortable with the other days of the week. Then you can build yourself up to it. I always say, you never know til you try!

I have a Herbalife Healthy meal shake every morning, and sometimes for lunch. They are very filling and loaded in Protein and Vitamins. If you go to a store that strictly sells it, here ours is called Nourish, they will fill you in. I have found that I don't eat as much for lunch, because I am still somewhat full from…

I took it for a couple months a few years ago.....i lost maybe 20lbs, but that was with a lot of exercise and hardly eating because it ruins your appetite. Just make sure you force yourself to eat. It made me very jittery, my mouth always moved and I had mood swings. I felt like I was on drugs! I had to take it at 5am so…

ummmm, hello! You look great! And you also totally inspire me! :)

I love pizza like that! I thought it was my little secret...guess not! :)

The treadmill is fine. I prefer it to jogging on the road, it seems to have more bounce and feels better on my knees. I would just do what feels best for you. I want to do a 5k this summer so hopefully I can transfer what I do on the treadmill to the road! Good luck to you! I see you started it today!
