I am so sorry to hear that. I hate that you're having to deal with the verbal abuse from him while trying to better yourself. I'm your same height, but weigh much more. I'm trying to lose the weight, but have NEVER heard from my husband that I'm gross or that he doesn't want to be seen in public with me. In a strange way,…

Bump Thanks everyone!

Bump

Why did it say not to use a HRM if you're using a beta blocker?

You can do it!

(Week two for me.) CW: 186.25 lbs Dress size: 16 Total lost since beginning challenge: 5.75 lbs Didn't get to work out like I'd hoped so my exercise goal for this upcoming week is the same - four times before next weigh-in. Good luck everyone!

Excellent job! I'd say that is a huge success. Everytime I travel I eat more and definitely DO NOT lose weight. LOL

Congratulations on your success!!

Huge difference! Well done!

That's great!! Good job. Can't wait until I get to that day. :-)

Hi, Kristy. I'm on BP meds too - 50 mg of Metoprolol. I had never heard this about beta blockers. My doc choose this medicine because it's safe to use during pregnancy. I do know that before I was on BP meds my heart would race and I would be out of breath before I really ever got into a good workout. Now that I've been on…

Current wt: 188 Clothing size: 16! No more W. Woo hoo! Goal: Hope to work out at least 5 times this week.

Ya hoo! Thanks for letting me join. Definitely want to look svelt by my Sept. 11 vaca. :-) Current weight: 192 Current dress size: 16W or 18 Will weigh in again on Thursday, 5/26/11

Have you ever tried MiO? I've been using it since I started this "lifestyle change" and have found that I drink a lot more water using it than I did without. It doesn't have any calories.

That's a fantastic motivational story. I know you're proud of him. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Is it too late to join? I'd love to look better for my summer vaca in September.

*bump*

I thought it was the other way around...

I love working out to: As I Lay Dying - Nothing Left Deftones - Lifter Godsmack - Whatever Refused - New Noise N.E.R.D - Lap Dance Smashing Pumpkins - An Ode to No One

What kind of music do you enjoy? I've got all kinds of stuff on my iPod.

That's fantastic! I'm sure a lot of us can relate to your story. Thanks for sharing.

Me too!

That's awesome!!

I LOVE this idea! I've wanted to try this cookbook. Very cool.

That's a good reminder that everyone has their own goals and expectations. I think it's great that you're trying to better yourself. This site should support everyone regardless of their current size. Good luck to you!

Congratulations! That's encouragement for all of us. :)

Congratulations! That's so exciting!

Keep up the good work! Add me if you need a buddy. :)

I'm taking the same vitamin every morning and at first it made me really queasy, too. I've been on them now for about a month and that awful sensation has gone away, but I'm also careful to take it after I've eaten breakfast.

I'm so proud of you for trying as hard as you are! Changing your lifestyle for the better is really hard. I bet once your family sees what an improvement you're making in yourself they'll be appreciative of all your hard work. Keep it up!!
