I am so glad I'm not the only one. My friends come to my house and be like, "you don't have any snacks? where is all the snack food?" I just laugh and say get a apple orange. They hate that.

Reading this was a great way to start my day. I love #14 I actually have those people under DON'T ANSWER #1 DON'T ANSWER #2.... :laugh:

I know this thread was made weeks ago but maybe you all could welcome another 21yr old chubby girl. :wink:

I agree I do this every friday :happy:

Began: 180lbs Current: 176lbs Goal: 160lbs

Ms. Amelia there will be some extra switching in these hips today. LOL

You had a total make over. Congratulations on you success!!!

Thanks guys for all of your support. Looking back i'm smiling because I used to "squat and pull" them up. Nope no more of that. Dawn making me think of the next 9lbs makes me wanna go to the gym now! They joy from hard work is addicting.

I would recommend buying one. It comes in handy when making home made food. But I warn you, you may get addicted about weighing everything. I had to put the scale up for a couple of days because I was weighing EVERYTHING.

weigh in: Started: 183 Today: 178 Goal: 165

You look wonderful :smile:

*Pollard55 thanks for the tips. I do 100 crunches and 10-20 pushups every other night. Those push-ups kick my butt. * ysaidpie I'm going to try and use my gym this semester at school. Its free. My only hurdle is some days my classes end at 9 but I also have a 24hr gym in my apt complex which is a plus

That was hilarious. I think we all should wake up in the morning and sing that song. :laugh:

Awesome job

Some people are able cut sweets out cold turkey but I'm one of those who {just} can't do it. I had to learn moderation. Next time after making the brownies instead of leaving them in the pan, try bagging them into one serving size ziploc bags. This helps me because If I dare try to go back for a second bag I can see how…

I weighed in this morning at 182. 1lbs down from last week. I'm so excited because I should be hitting my first mini goal next Monday at 180lbs. OH yeaah!!

I know exactly what you mean when you talk about AB sabotage. Bear will get to jumping and climbing on my like I'm his bed. (thank god he is ONLY 4lbs and not 13lbs) When I put him in his kettle he just barks at me. I think I'm going to lock him in my bed room next time. Oh yeah and I bought this no biting spray and…

I would like to join as well if its not to late. weigh in this morning was 184Lbs. My goal will be 160Lbs. WE CAN DO IT!!!

Let me toot your horn for you.... Whoot Whoot. You look amazing

Its success stories like this that give me hope. You go girl!!!

My wake up call is when I first started this site. I always wanted to work out but was to lazy to do it. I'm 5'3 and 182Lbs so when I checked the obesity chart it said I was obese and I started crying like a big baby. I than looked in the mirror and noticed love handles under my bra strap that I never seen before. this…

Thanks everyone. I'm so on cloud 9 right now. This is a real motivator for more. I also went to the doctor yesterday and the nurse said "gurly you lost some weight since the last time I saw you. Whats your secret?" I had a smile from ear to ear for the rest of the day.

On Saturday I worked out twice and earned about 900 more calories. It was so hard trying to find a way to fit them in. Like you I tried the fruits, but than I realized that is way to much fruit. I don't think I'll exercise twice in a day again

I'm so proud of you. I was in the same boat yesterday. I dreaded the thought of going to the gym yesterday. But when I got there I pounded that elliptical for a WHOLE 45 min AND lifted weights. OH yeah.

Thanks so much for all the replies

You guys are right. it is set to 2lbs. and I haven't added and exercise. mainly because I don't know where to begin. The photo it of my niece. Thanks for the complement. I have no children. So its more protein less carbs and exercise. I"m on it!!!

Count me in. I don't have a special event to go to, but this sure is a great motivator.
