Yowza!! That is amazing! And that dress is amazing! Well done. I am sure he had the hottest date there!

But seriously, how many seasons can they do of that show? It all looks the same now. I can't hardly even stand to watch the commercials any more. But, God bless em, I love the crab!

Here is my main gripe against folks in this wonderful community, BettyandVeronica, you have lost 37 pounds!! That is amazing! Own it and give yourself props! Why do you (we) let ourselves get frustrated and feel as if our soul is being destroyed? Our size/weight does not determine who we are or the goodness of our soul. Be…

Try Zumba or body attack. Racquetball works too if you are really going at it. But yes to Zumba for sure!

I am no professional, but by looking at your food diary, you aren't eating enough. It looks like you skip lunch often and that you rarely eat your exercise calories, or even 1200 total calories. I know it seems like by eating so much less you are going to lose weight, but you gotta keep your food burning motor going, eat…

Oh, trust me, it is not just you! Why do you think the rest of us are here? Just keep it in check and don't let it run your life for you.

How about some chopped almonds or other nuts? That sounds good to me! Maybe on TOP of the yogurt :) with some cinnamon. YYUMMMMM!

For crying out loud! Who would WANT friends like that?? Cut your losses and end those miserable relationships! I had to do this exact thing last year with a friend who would call me for help and expect me to drop everything at once, but she wouldn't do anything for me in return, or even seem grateful for the help I gave.…

This may sound cruel, BUT GET OVER HOW MUCH YOU WEIGH!!! If you feel good at the size you are, with muscles or without, who gives a care what the scale says? No one that sees you walking down the street can tell how much you weigh, but they can see how much space you take up in the world. People get so hung up on the…

For sure a heart rate monitor if you care about an accurate number. Almost all the exercises I ever put in are higher calorie burns than my monitor says.

OH NO HE DIDN"T! That boy needs to be kicked to the curb! Any partner that tries to control you like that doesn't belong in your life. I say no go on that guy. Be you. Be strong. Ditch the boy.

Put the alarm clock out of reach so you actually HAVE TO get up to turn it off. Once you turn it off, keep on walking right to the treadmill where you have your workout clothes and shoes waiting. Put them on, go use the toilet, put on some tunes or a movie and start walking. Would this do the trick? Best of luck in your…

I don't think that it is impossible to do, novice or not. Yes, the program can be boring, but so is trudging on a treadmill or elliptical or lifting weights. It's all in your perception. I don't think you should say that you are a trainer and that people SHOULD NOT try P90X. Let folks choose for themselves. This program…

I got mine off of ebay for $40. It is a NIke Imara. I like it. It has been easy to use and figure out (with a little help from the manual). The only thing I don't love about it is the watch plastic band is pretty stiff so it isn't very comfortable to wear all the time. I would recommend this just for its ease of use. I had…

WOW!! You look fantastic! Check out the difference in your arms. Well done and thanks!

I think you shouldn't worry so much about the numbers. You know that you normally eat wisely, don't let one day get you down. Weigh in, write it down and move on. Next week will be better :)

I would count it! Maybe you can use your heart rate monitor next time! HAHA! That would be awesome! :love:

You could also try climbers chalk, pretty much the same thing as for gymnasts. Good luck!

I am notorious for this, especially when that time is coming. I hate it! Munch munch munch!!

I LOVE that photo of you and your friends! Looks like it belongs in a fun time magazine or something. Work it!

Embarrassed?!!? What for? Taking charge of your life and fitness should never be embarrassing. So glad that you are here. You'll get tons of support and answers. Don't be shy. We are all in this together.

I say don't fixate so much on the scale number. Just start going off the home scale since you'll be there more often.

ditto! Drives me bonkers to list those exercises.

I couldn't have said it any better! Thanks for putting it out there like that.

Yah, you can grind it yourself if you have the equipment. I am sure that your local butcher shop in any supermarket has a grinder and perhaps they could grind some up for you. It wouldn't hurt to ask! Ground chicken does sound like a tasty option.

Welcome to this amazing site. If you stick to it, it WILL work. It is a great lifestyle change that everyone should take on. I am also trying to lose that amount of weight, so it will be nice to see each others progress. Best of luck to you. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like to. Kenzie

I'm all about that! All of you can friend me and we can help each other. Yahoo!!

Wow! Just wow! I am speechless! You have done an amazing job and look SOSOSOSOOOOO great! I bet you feel so much better. WOW.

Well said! Thanks for the eye opener and for the action of the day challenge. I'm on it!

The workouts are about an hour (1:15 min if you do the ab workout every other day or so), yoga being an hour and a half. The workouts are hard at first and you may not be able to keep up right away, but do as best you can. There are always modifications to suit your abilities. ANYONE can do it, just keep moving and stick…
