I have never thought of using Pinterest but that is something I am going to look at today! Thanks for the tip! I had no clue they had recipes (show's how much I look at it)

MISTYMEADOWS2 - I do keep a bottle of water (20 oz) and it's measured every 2 oz (I love it) but I still don't seem to drink it enough. That's a great idea to put it in your daily schedule. I live by my calendar and would be lost without it! Thanks for the tip!

1. Not to snack while I'm at work. It's easy to sit and munch on snack's when I have down time. 2. Drink at least 60 oz of water (I know that is still not enough but I'm lucky if I get in 40 oz daily - any suggestions or tricks to get in more water would be great!)

Hello everyone! I'm 28 from Orlando and looking to lose about 40 pounds total! I work a desk job so I don't get a lot of movement throughout the day. I am currently on week 4 of Focus T25 and very proud of myself for sticking with it this long. I am on here and log everything daily. Looking forward to the next 100 days!

I agree with all of you! My goal is 40 pounds but not sure if that will happen before Christmas. I will be happy with 25 to 30! It is also my 6 month goal December 16th so this is just the extra push that I needed!

Nothing like that, just a bunion so my bone is growing sideways. It's not bad enough yet for surgery but bad enough that I need wide shoe's and something with support. He 45 or 55 is inside under the insole. It's hard to get the insole out but I found out yesterday from him (my dad had a appointment) that the 45 or 55…

That's exactly my problem.. They had 500 different styles. How am I supposed to know which one is better than another! I know he said gel but inside should be 45 or 55. Does anyone know what that stands for? It's like under the insole inside the shoe and it's hard to get out to check them all at the store??

Ohhh I never thought about eBay. I tried them on in the store, I need to go back and get the exact name that I tried and look them up for pricing! Thanks eventerchick8!!

From dieting on and off for years, and someone telling me that I couldn't last doing it, and I decided I could and I would. I know it's not the best reason, but enough to push me into saying "your wrong I can do it!"

_XARDOZ_ I have minor issue's nothing big, a bunion (I will eventually need surgery for it) It's not BAD yet for surgery but enough to bother me when walking. I am definitely not a runner (maybe someday after my surgery) but he said it's like this amazing shoe that will help with the pain and I will never take them off.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! My doctor said he has like 28 pair of the Asics and they are amazing. I always have feet issues so that was his suggestion. I will definitely get to a store and see what they recommend for me. MelRC117 - I will defiantly check out TJ Maxx and Marshalls! Thanks!!

I am starting week 3 tonight after work, would love a buddy or buddies to compare notes to and support / motivation!

Thanks Jenny45683. I never even knew that was possible to retain water in your muscles (still new at this) and something I am going to look into!

I just reread my reply and I NEVER said anyone was rude, and I also said I will listen to everyone's feedback and appreciate the time for people to post suggestion as to what it could be. Also like I said I learned that muscles retain water, which I had NO clue about and also that it could very well be sodium (even though…

Carostad, thank you for the reply! I'm going to try a few things listed in the posts. See if it could be sodium / food related, or if it could just be my muscles retaining water as someone mentioned. It's all a learning process and all the advice helps teach me what I could be doing wrong! Paige682 and Serah87, I never…

I keep writing thank you to everyone, but it's how I feel! You have to stay positive, and although it was only 4 oz, next week could be 4 pounds, so wanted to see if maybe I did something wrong! I read every post and take it all into account! DAM5412, I hope your Monday turns around for you! I can't even imagine no hot…

Thank you 365abdstillal. As I said, I appreciate everyone's feedback and suggestions! I am learning a lot now, and did not know about muscles retaining water. That is something I need to read more up on. All this is a learning experience and take all the suggestions I can get!

ZARDOZ.. Actually yes I did, if you don't like it don't post or don't read it! Simple as that. I posted this because I worked hard and wanted better results. Maybe someone else had the same thing happen and I wanted feedback, positive or negative so thank's for the negative feedback!

Thank you RollTideLisa. I did measure, last Tuesday so I will measure again tomorrow to give it a full week. Not expecting much in a week, but hopefully something! :)

Thank you JoRocka for the support, motivation and time answering my post. (Everyone actually) I will try that and see what happens! I get it's up's and down's but it would be helpful also to see if maybe something I am eating is making it change daily.

Thank you everyone for your posts! I'm going to reply to everyone in one post, because I am not sure how to post back with a post attached. I totally agree with the sodium and try my best to watch it but sometimes it's not possible. I went out to eat Saturday so that could be the result from my meal out. As for my clothes,…

Yesterday was my first day of T25. It was a great workout and although I did have to follow the modifier I didn't have to stop for more than like 5 seconds to get my feet in the right place!

Congrats! You are such a inspiration! These are the posts I love to see, so I know deep down that it's possible and have to work to get to my goal. Thank you for posting!

Mine should be in the mail tomorrow! I'm super excited this group exists and is active! Nervous about starting but ready to get it done!

This was a family friend when I told her that a friend of mine was going to let me use the Insanity DVD's he has.. She said "Why would you waste your time, you can't do it anyway" Definitely made me feel horrible!!

The Lean Cuisine is my favorite, but I just got the Healthy Choice meals in a bowl which is very good in my opinion, or the Hormel Complete's (It has to be the green label ones for the lower calories). They are good (the oatmeal one is REALLY GOOD) but you don't have to keep them frozen, so I leave one at work just in case…

Would love more friends on mine! I have the Flex and love it! www.fitbit.com/user/2TMF33

Not sure how to add friends either but mine is www.fitbit.com/user/2TMF33

Got in my 50 today!! I did have to do 2 sets of 25 but did it! Congrats everyone for reaching your first days goal!

-drink more water (which is very hard for me to do) -work on upping my time at the gym on the machines
