Stay motivated. You will have bad days. Just be prepared to deal with them. Just remember having one bad day isnt the end of the world. but letting it snowball after that isnt the best idea. Good luck with all of your goals.! A saying I like, which motivates me If your looking for a helping hand, look at the end of your…

Read your post. I wouldn't deprive yourself from Chocolate completely. Have a little. Just don't over do it. That way you wont feel like having a healthy style takes away everything you love to eat. Just document, & see where the calories are.

Good luck! Set your goals & make it happen. Congrats!

Swimming laps is very low impact, & one of the best exercises you can do.

Good to see another Marine on here. Ive been out since 1999. Becoming a civilian was really hard on my body. Before i knew it I was 40 lbs overweight. This site is definitely a motivation tool. A lot of great success stories. welcome aboard.

Great site here. A lot of people for support & motivation. Great success stories. Welcome aboard!

This site will definitely be an eye opener! Good Luck & welcome aboard....

Everyone is different. I like strength training first then finishing with some cardio, Just stretch before & after.

It happens. When you exercise its called a plateau effect. Don't give up. Change up your exercise program, change up your foods. Give it some time you will get past this barrier. just don't quit!

im here if you need me! motivation and accountability is a huge factor on reaching your goals

wow! 2 different people! keep up the great work! any new goals?

most likely wasn't a compliment from them :) but you should take it as one!

Vodka & OJ. Not bad on calories at all.

Ive always been told not to eat after 6 pm, I don't believe it. Everyone's body is different. If Im up at 11 or so & Im hungry, I will eat a small healthy snack. Your body is talking to you, sometimes you have to listen. Everything comes down to moderation & healthy eating. and exercise of course. Just don't over do it…

I went home for vacation, & my blood pressure was taken & it was off the charts. Not to mention I was starting to avoid pictures. I want t be there as long as possible to see my son grow up!

check this out its motivating http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbXgQqbOoU

just posted it on my facebook page. ran right after i watched it. helped me get off my butt

Just be honest with yourself. if you have a bad day, put it out there for everyone to see. Accountability is the key to success.

You can do it. I see you have your son in your arms. Im getting on track for myself & my son. I want him to have a father for a long long time. Good luck

Awesome job! This is exactly why we are ere. no matter how much weight you want to lose, or your motivated to do your first 5k. A lot of great people & support here.

If you have multiple goals for the month its a good thing. Have a minimum goal, a middle goal & a top goal. So if you bypass your minimum goal you can still move forward to other goals. Just an idea.

Don't give up everything you love. Is coffee bad for you! No. But if you overdo anything in excess it can be. Treat yourself to a coffee. Just monitor the calories. I need atleast one vice to survive. Good luck with your goals!

If you seriously want to lose weight quick. Eat good small portions, run & swim. Swimming is one of the best exercises out there. Many people don't do it. I'm talking about actually doing laps & treading water. Good luck with your goals!

here to help/ my goal is 50 lbs this year

i would try softball or baseball.

you wont be disappointed. its a great motivational tool. good luck! i'm off to work

I have something similar happen to me a few years back. I was in the gym one day & felt like I was wasting my time & never went back. It happened out of the blue. I was feeling good, losing weight gaining muscle. I just stopped. I think the pressure of getting out & having a social life led me astray. Don't know how to fix…

Here's my 2 cents...... I've heard a lot of people saying if you eat after 6 pm, its harder on your body. I can believe this. But sometimes I also get hungry in the evening. To lose weight it takes dedication. Being hungry in my book when you go to sleep doesn't help the cause. If you know your going to snack in the…

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Your doing great! Keep up the good work!

sw 231lbs / goal for April 221lbs
