That's fantastic! He'll be sooooo surprised and you'll feel like a million bucks! :)

You look great, and there's a big difference. Way to love yourself! :)

1. Kristi-I commit to EVERY challenge in week two and will contribute 1500 EXTRA calories burned to meet the team challenge. (I can do more but I want this to be a TEAM effort) Week one went great for me. Ended up doing 5 extra miles, completed all the challenges, stayed under my calorie goal every day, and drank a LOT of…

Ok... so I did not get 6 extra miles done for the week, but I did 2 1/2 extra miles today (most of it was hard as heck) and so total for this half week was 3 1/2 miles... I did the jumping jacks I am over in water Way under in calories... trying to eat more because I killed it today in the gym and am just barely in the…

I was thinking the same thing! Make sure you don't drink so much that you "drown" yourself. You might be flushing all the salts and electrolytes out and it makes sense to me that doing that would make you hungry because your body is trying to get those nutrients back.

So, I'm way under in calories. Way over in water. I did my crunches. I plan to run A LOT tomorrow.... :) Gotta get those 6 miles in this weekend... I can do it! lol eek!

Welcome. Love your story. Hoping you have a great experience here, as there are many supportive and inspiring people here.

sounds like you KILLED IT! Great job!

Finished the extra mile today for the daily challenge. I am under in calories Way over in water :wink: So excited about this month... I'm planning to Rock This Joint!

People are so used to seeing overweight people. In our society, we are all bigger now. The "normal" has become overweight. If you are fit, then you look skinny to people. Don't let it bother you, in my opinion when people start saying stuff like this, without real evidence that you are unhealthy, then they are just…

I love this one! Totally understand as I used to not be able to and now I can :) Feels great!

That's fantastic! I am an Air Force vet, and only 5 years out... don't think I'd be mistaken for one right now, but could totally see how that's a HUGE NSV...

That's awesome! Can't wait to get in my previous skinny jeans... got a ways... HOWEVER, I have recently fit into jeans that used to look dreadful on me... no muffin top or anything... My NSV today is that I put on this pair of yoga paints that are charcoal grey, and previously every time I would put them on, they would…

Super excited about this month. I totally commit to the challenge this week and I plan to kick my own bootay this month and totally stay under in calories and drink a TON of water. 1. Kristi: I will commit to EVERY challenge for this week and also commit to 4 extra miles to meet the team goal. SW: 210lbs GW (for Challenge)…

If there is a YWCA near you, they have counseling services for free usually. Just an FYI. Hope you are able to get better soon.

You're amazing! What an inspiration and thank you for posting.

candy... I just can't trust myself with moderation. I don't keep a lot of the sweets in my house, but I have a few healthier items on hand just in case.... I don't like to keep much ice cream in the house, but I've gone so long without it, I don't really miss it much anymore. I even had some for my daughter's bday…

and I said we... but I mean Everyone.... because I'm not a man... I'm sure my profile picture was confusing everywhere there...

There's a difference in completely natural looking like you rolled out of bed and looking natural but with makeup on. Most guys want you to look presentable, and not like death walking... lol... sometimes I look great without makeup and I wear very little compared to most women even when I dress up. However, sometimes you…

I love working out; I workout whenever I have the energy and time and convenience to do so... Some people workout for a LIVING... twice a day is alright... for sure... do what feels good.

I totally agree and get it. I know some people are just trying to be nice, but it's not the REAL nice, it's the fake - quick response- and I don't really care enough to look response. I actually go in people's diaries that are my friends... if I see what they ate and don't think it's a great job, I don't say anything. I…

I've done the challenge for Day #3, and did and extra 200 crunches today. Under calories and over water. Thanks. Melissa

Day 1 and Day 2 of Week #4 is done! Over Water, under calories. I have been under the weather but doing my best for the team. Sorry I haven't checked in as well.... Also, I've 150 extra crunches and 100 extra jumping jacks for the team challenge. Thanks. Melissa

So motivating! Great job and congrats!

Fantastic! You look great!

So, I'm feeling better today. I completed yesterday and today's challenge exercises.... since I didn't do them yesterday.... That was pretty rough... especially considering there were jumping jacks yesterday and today... so I did all of them... whew... those are tough! So I am pretty proud of myself so I wanted to boast a…

Completed everything. I did not do extra crunches today though; I did 100 bicycle crunches (which is really like 200) but anyways... and then in my class I completed a ton of crunches so I wasn't feeling it; mostly because I think I have strep throat... hopefully I'll be better tomorrow

I was thinking the same thing! NET calories is what your "daily" goal calories should be. If you don't feed your body, it will take what it needs from your muscles and then you working your muscles will be a moot point. Seriously, if you are working your muscles, it needs protein to and regular food consumption to build…

Completed everything; did 100 extra crunches today.

I'll do 100 extra everyday (monday through saturday) so that'll be 600 from me for the week
