I'd love more friends! I need to be held accountable!

I'm from across the bridge in Jersey, feel free to add me if you'd like!

The other forum was incorrect. If the sticks are purple then you are burning fat because you are in ketosis. Your body is expelling ketones but it's also burning fat.

This definitely happened to me. I lost over 100 pounds several years ago and was looking fantastic. I slowly started being more laid back with my diet and exercise and after getting a desk job and being put on meds that cause weight gain I gained all 100 lbs back plus 80 more! I look back on pictures and want to punch…

You look amazing! Keep it up! You've definitely inspired me!

Incredible transformation! Great job!

I think some of you don’t understand what I’m trying to say, and I take the blame for that because I don't think I explained it properly in my initial post. I don’t expect him to cut out foods he loves. What I’d like to see if a little less of the treats since he has them almost every day and I’d like him to stop trying to…

This is a great suggestion! Thank you!

I don't expect him to give up foods he likes, I would just like to see a little less of them and want him to stop teasing me and trying to get me to eat them.

Haha, he loves to cook and bake! Which is awesome but results in all kinds of treats I can't eat! Thank you all for the advice! What I'm getting the most of is that I need to be direct and honest. I don't want to offend him so I have to be careful how I word it. But I need to be direct so there's no misunderstanding. I…

This is great advice! He LOVES lists so that could actually work!

This happened to me the last time I lost weight and is starting to happen again. In my experience they looked saggy for a while but when I got down to close to goal they appeared perkier. I went from a DD to a B. This time I'm a DDD/E hoping to end at C cups, fingers crossed! They were a LOT smaller but they didn't sag as…

I have multiple goal rewards. When I reach 200 I get to buy a new purse ( I'm a purse-a-holic lol). When I reach 140 I get to start planning a Caribbean vacation! And if I decide to keep going to my dream goal of between 110 and 120 I get to get my belly button re-pierced!

Wow you look amazing! You've so inspired me!!!!

I can definitely see a difference! You look great, keep it up!

Wow you look great! Way to go!

Great job! I can't wait to get legs like yours!

I would go to the Caribbean! Infact that's my reward for reaching my goal weight :) Saving up now!

Thanks for posting this! I KNOW this in my head but I still give the scale too much power. This has helped me to remember that the scale doesn't know everything!

This happens to me too. I've had a meal out and the next day there are 2 or 3 extra pounds on the scale. I hope they're water otherwise the restaurants I go to are packing waaaaay too many calories into their food! My metabolism is horrible just like all the women on my mother's side of the family, it's a curse.

Thank you all for your suggestions! I've got a lot to consider! :)

I've always been interested in yoga but I have trouble with some positions because I also have issues with my right wrist (I know, I'm falling apart lol) I was an admin asst for 5 years so the dr thinks it's carpal tunnel. I'd love to do yoga though cause I've heard it's good for the mind as well as the body, I would need…

I have a gazelle but it's in storage cause my husband says it's too big for our apartment. I loved it and my best friend said she'd help me get it out and make room for it since he won't so I'm hoping she pulls through and I can get it, then I'd be set!

I used to do 30 day Shred off of exercise TV and it's one effective workout, I just can't do all the cardio cause she does things like jumping jacks which are torture for me, way too high of impact! I do have a Wii and a Kinect, I should start the beginner stuff on there!

I've checked with my doctor :) I have damage to one of my knees and my ankles that they are aware of. They recommend zero to low impact exercise but said walking should be fine even though it will hurt as long as I keep a slower pace. I would just prefer something that only hurts the muscles (in a good way) not my knees…

I'm really looking forward to swimming because it's an exercise I love to do but I definitely need something for year round. A bike seems like the best option right now!

Do they still make those really small stationary bikes, like the kind that fit under a desk? I live in a small apartment lol. My husband just informed me there is a bike like machine in the complex's gym but it sounds more complicated than a regular bike so I'll have to check it out.

Burlington County here! Feel free to add me :)

^^^This.

Me but we're already friends lol :)
