Thank you everyone!! I went for my swim and feel great!! and now I am heading back to the library to get a few more good study hours in! THanks again for the support ;) Have a blessed day!

Aww, this made me smile!! I soooo needed this right now! Thanks ;) and YOU are awesome as well!!

We call it "pretzel Salad" SOOOO YUMMY!!! But geez, I never knew how bad it was for you!! I haven't had it in years but my mom used to make it :) Good to know the damage though!

good luck and good for you for making that first step towards change!! I have been on and off a few times- back at it AND DETERMINED TO STICK WITH IT!! My advice- get involved with message boards and make friends on here right away- soon it will be a ton of fun and you won't want to fall off the wagon... good luck ;)

Thank you for this! You lifted my spirits and made me feel great! Right back at you dear :) ;)

This IS soooo terrible! I can only pray, like you said, that someone goes in and helps her turn this around! she needs the help to turn all her motives to the other end, as in become determined to LOSE 400 pounds, not gain!! I sure hope someone will help this woman before it affects her kids even more!

Hello everyone!!! I am on day 5 today of the shred! I love it so far (even though I missed 2 days this weekend :/) But with this group, I am hoping to make it to 30 nonstop! Good luck today everyone and stick with it! You can do this!!! ;)

I am on day 3 right now and would love to be involved when you guys start! I am sore today- partly due to my other exercise regimens and partly to the shred! It definitely feels great and am trying to work past my sore muscles today! lol gotta keep the motivation up! talk to you all monday!

I am looking for one~ possibly in a watch form that I can use in the water too?! Any ideas on if they exist and/or what kind would be best?

I did my official day 1 of level 1 today and I loved it! It was challenging, yet totally doable if you worked hard! I am looking forward to the results! I am beginning to train for a triathlon and using the shred to get stronger overall- which i am sure will help with all aspects of the tri. I am also not weighing myself…

Trying to get some studying done and keep my mind off food!!!! LOL I am done for the day but can't seem to think of anything else tonight for some reason...suggestions/motivating words are welcome!

Welcome back!!! I LOVE sugar too and just this last week have been tryng to cut back majorly. I have been allowing myself a treat at night- but something that lasts a long time and isn't horrible for me! Like i love hot chocolate or tonight i had a banana cut into small pieces with peanut butter- i just make sure i make…

Thanks debbie ;)

thanks so much for those!!! I was feeling like i might want to "treat" myself tonight even though i didn't have the best weekend...i must do damage control and these quotes gave me the will power to do that! NOW I am going to do some yoga before bed instead of that ice cream i was imagining! ;)

Great Job everyone!!! I am proud to be on this team and i think it is really helping. i am still struggling with night eating- especially if i have some cals left over, i end up going way overboard...hmm...I need to figure out something to help with this!! I am working out enough, I just need to get this eating at…
