awesome job!!

I love beer here too - I would have never in a million years missed a beer fest... whether or not I'd filled up on greek food :-)

5'4.5(ish) here and I'm aiming for somewhere in the 140s

I'd totally just chalk it up to jealousy (ESPECIALLY if they're saying it behind your back) and ignore them. As long as you feel good that's all that matters. Oh, and wear something really stunning and figure-flattering next time you see them :-)

Get yourself going... You're going to have to use willpower for the first bit. After a while you'll notice that your energy is increasing and you actually feel twitchy if you DON'T work out.

Yep - same here. IF I'm 162 in the morning, I'm 164 at night. I just don't even look anymore.

You're so close to your goal! It might be time to increase your calories. If you're losing hair I think your body is telling you that it's not feeling quite right. I also have the hair loss problem, and I find it's aggravated when I lose weight. Make sure you're taking lots of vitamins (you can google which ones help hair…

I also find that I carry my weight fairly well. I picked 145 because that's at the top range of "healthy" for my height. I figure I'll re-evaluate as I get closer, or when I get there. I'd rather be "toned" than skinny so if I look leaner without seeing the scale go down, that's OK too.

Hello! :-D My cousin gave me the p90 DVDs around a year ago when Alice was about 6 months. I did them kind of lethargically and wasn't dieting at all; I just found it hard to get to the gym so I thought I should supplement at home. I maintained my weight for a while. It was only a month or so ago that I decided to actually…

I got my first comments after I lost about 15lbs, but it was from people who hadn't seen me in a while.

I see a lot of people doing this and if it works for them that's awesome. I don't see it as being a good thing for me though. My body will plateau for weeks sometimes... and then I'll just feel like I failed if I didn't reach my goal. So I just have my ultimate goal and I am working toward that.

A friend with PCOS (and on MET) is having a lot of luck cutting out sugar (other than fruit) and carbs (for the most part). I have a 1.5 year old and the only time I have time to exercise is at night, when she's in bed. I put her down at 8 and then I do P90 for half an hr/40 mins. You might be able to do a small fitness…

I'm 5'5 too. 150 is right at the top of our "healthy BMI" range. I wonder if your body is just super happy there? Try to focus on the exercise maybe... tone up more. You might not lose much weight but you'll look leaner. My aim is for 145 - I'm at around 160ish right now. If I get to 150 though I'll be OK with that. I…

So inspiring! You've done such a great job. I'm also 5'5" and aiming for 145 (or wherever I feel good). You've helped motivate me for today! :-D

a) congrats on your hardwork/success!! b) LOOOVE your tattoo :-) the floral one. beautiful!

seems kind of unnecessary........?

Double post :)

Weightloss is weightloss, and if she wants to be petty then you probably have almost a more difficult journey as you do have less to lose and it's harder to get those pounds off from the sounds of it. But anyone who is losing weight should be supportive of people on the same path - whether they have 5lbs or 105lbs to lose.…

This is good to hear :-) And congrats on following through with your plan. Keep up the good work. Get nice and strong :-)

I'm going to agree with the other posters. You could try moving your "goal" from 2lb a week to 1lb a week weight loss. Try for a couple weeks and see how it goes. I was holding steady for almost 3 weeks, then went from 1lb/wk to 0.5lbs a week and immediately dropped weight. It can't hurt to try.

Same here. I found that very powerful and so true

- I want to be healthy - I want to have energy; I have a toddler who is constantly going. I can keep up with her better now. - I want to wear calf-high boots. I know that sounds ridic but my calves are always too fat and I really really really think they look hawt. - I'm tired of my stomach spilling over my pants when I…

In college I used to avoid looking @ my credit card bills because it made me feel nervous to think about how much I had to pay down. I would just pay chunks off and kind of stumble along not knowing how much was actually on there. When I finally sucked it up and looked at it it was a bit higher than I thought, but not…

That's awesome! I wish I had the confidence to wear a bikini. I think even if I had a 6 pack I'd still feel naked... Congrats on your nsv though!

Awesome!! I'm still scared to try and get into my pre-preg jeans in case they don't fit. I don't want to ruin my good feelings :-)

Oh totally! I bet you've lost a few inches from your tummy area!

I looked @ your diary about a week back but you're missing a lot of days - maybe you're eating more cals than you think? Maybe try to squeeze in more veggies/home cooked meals and less processed stuff (not to say you eat a lot, just a good rule of thumb). I am in no way an expert though :-) ETA: as you only have 26 lbs to…

Holy *kitten*. I'm so glad that you've moved past that loser. No offense or anything, but he sounds like a complete a-hole. You can do this, and for the record you look gorgeous now :-)

P90 is sweet! I"m a week away from starting 3/4... enjoy!

*so I can find later*
