  • I'm new and therefore have no clue who you are.....but this is SO touching! Whether it was meant for everyone, or just the people you talk to regularly, it still made me feel good. RIGHT BACK AT YA!

  • This is a great idea! Since this will be my first week, I'll say Sun-Sat. I'm not sure what kind of weight goal I can set for myself, so I think I'll just say SOME loss in the first week would be awesome. So I guess my goal will be to stick to my calorie allowance according to mfp, and have some loss to show for it. How…

  • Has anyone tried these? I've been wondering if they're good for running. Like if they'll improve the ease at all?

  • Here's another one: If I lose 45lbs I'll be at the weight I was when I broke up with my ex 3 years ago. A mutual friend is getting married this summer, so if I can lose that weight and tone at the same time, I'll be in the best shape he's ever seen me in and in a beautiful dress.....not to mention on the arm of a taller,…

  • Thanks for all the responses! I'll be looking for a good shake this weekend. I'm sure Costco will have something at an affordable price

  • If I lose 50lbs I'll buy myself a pretty summer dress and shoes for the first time in a LONG time. If I lose 100lbs my chances of getting pregnant without medical intervention will skyrocket! And even if I can't get pregnant on my own still, once I lose 100lbs the fertility clinic will actually HELP me!

  • Thanks! You're totally right. We do have to fight way harder to lose anything at all, and even HARDER to KEEP it off. Luckily my dr tripled my metformin (from 500mg to 1500mg daily). It will help regulate the insulin resistance and help make it easier to lose the weight. I really feel like I have a lot pulling for me…

  • I completely agree. It's like getting a shiny new toy. I'm as excited about this place as I am about my brand new fridge and stove I just got today!

  • This is all excellent advice. I've also been told to drink an 8oz glass of water a few minutes before a meal, then cut smaller bites. The meal lasts a bit longer and you're more full a lot quicker. My fridge I've had for the last 2 years has been HORRIBLE. I couldn't keep fruits and veggies because they would freeze within…

  • I figure if I say I can have my "rewards" on Friday evenings while watching a movie with the hubby, I can be more active on the weekend when we have his boys anyways. Everything comes with a price, right? Haha! As for workout dvds, I have a couple. I have an aerobics one. I used to do them in school and loved it, but I…
