Congrats! Love these stories. This is what keeps me motivated!

Way to go! I know that feeling of not wanting people to watch you. I just had to suck it up and do it. Keep it up!

Start by changing one thing at a time. If I had just told my family we are changing the entire way we eat, everyone would have been mad at me. If I change 1 or 2 things here and there, it's done and they don't really realize it's changed. Good luck!

I use the Carmel sauce and the pancake syrup. I use them sparingly. I like them. I have tried the ranch dressing and it's terrible.

I use coupons and shop sales. I never pay more than $1 a box for cereal. We have a huge stockpile of cereal. I paid .85 a box for Kashi early this summer. Check out the couponing websites. They spell out exactly where to get the coupons and how the deal works.

Awesome! Go you!

Please post an update on your birthday. My birthday is the next day and that is also one of my goal dates. I love to see other people's progress. It keeps me motivated. I think finding this site and looking at the progress people are making is the thing that convinced me I could do it. Go you!

Awesome! I am working toward that too!

+1. My plan is to give this 1 year before I become worried. I am running now but hope to start lifting. I am welcome to any suggestions.

My thoughts exactly!

I took a good hard look at how I had failed over and over again. There was a pattern. I got overwhelmed with so many things that were foreign to me. Food I wasn't use to eating, working out when I was use to very little physical activity and counting, weighing and measuring when I just eyeballed everything. So, I started…

Me too! Damn those large calves. I am 5'4, 141 lbs and still have some cellulite in my calves. I won't be wearing skinny jeans.

Awesome!

+1 Choke at the price but the Asics Gel Nimbus 16's are awesome! Totally worth every penny!

Lift Me Up by Five Finger Death Punch!!!! My favorite song!

Go you! Congrats!

Ditto!

Love this stuff! But I use Aldi's Sugar Free Hazelnut for 30 calories for 2 tablespoons. I measure everything.

I get the small chili which is 180 calories and use 1 packet of crackers, 25 calories. Then, I get water or a diet coke.

You look great! Go you!

Wow! These stories are what make me believe!!!

I have the same question.

Go you!

+1 I wear it faithfully and make sure I get my steps and calorie burn in. It pretty closely matches what I am losing, so I guess it is accurate for me. Love it!

Good question. Can't wait to see the answers.

Same for me too.

Ok. I like to try new things and would make this but where do you buy Ainsley harriot mushroom soup at?

Congrats! You look amazing! You are an inspiration.

Great ideas! I am stealing them!
