I was in January challenge Team Heavyweights. Am I still in there for Feb? Or do I re-register?? I want to stay if possible!!!! Jaki

I made a comittment to myself to drink one full water bottle in the morning as soon as I wake up before I'm "allowed" a cup of coffee. Well, I want my coffee!!!!!! Sooooooo I get one water bottle drank (which mine holds three actually cups of water) before anything else. That has helped.

I don't want someone talking my ear off while I'm on the treadmill....I mean, it's all I can do to BREATHE much less chit-chat.... lol Give me a break!!

Great question....I hope someone in "the know" replies to this!!! :bigsmile:

You have lots to be proud about!! Great job!!:smile:

Congrats!!!! All that hard work paid off....you look amazing!!

Great observation and tactfully stated. I'm fairly new and usually just read/listen/look around. I know that is how to glean the most from others who have been successful. And no...you are not a jerk. Thanks for the post.

Sarah...bootcamp was a SUCCESS...YOU LOOK INCREDIBLE!!! Keep up the hard work girl!! Congratulations!!:smile:

You've done a FABULOUS job!!:flowerforyou:

:smile: You have accomplished so much in just 6 months!! Congratulations! You were a beautiful "before" but just AMAZING now!

:flowerforyou: Great job! Whatever you are doing is WORKING!! Keep it up!!

Hello! First let me say...take a deep breath. This is a life long journey and you are in the same boat with many of us on that journey. You are not alone!! We are here to help you. Encourage you. Support you. And yes, you can vent and lean on us! Working the night shift is very difficult on the body, mind, and spirit.…

So funny....I think we've all been at that point. You are doing a fantastic job! Congrats!!:smile:

GREAT JOB!!!! :flowerforyou:

THANK YOU!!!!!! I am so glad to hear someone else share this same thing. Though I have tried all of the "expert" advise, I still cannot be moderate. Especially with my sweet tooth. To partake in a little ALWAYS leads to more. I've often thought, that it's a good thing I don't drink or use drugs because I'd probably be an…

I think going for a walk/jog is just the medicine you needed! It clears the mind. Use that time you are walking to encourage yourself. Say positive things. List those great qualities you really like about yourself. I know you've heard it before but LOVE YOURSELF AS YOU ARE FIRST. Once I learned that I started losing…

I can't offer any creative ways to use V8, but I love the stuff straight from the glass! I'm like you. It seems sometimes getting in all those veggies can be a struggle. I like veggies, but I just don't get enough. So, if I have a V8 it works for me. I like the taste, and if salt is a problem, just try the low-sodium…

Yep...I agree with her!! I don't follow the plan, just use them as a snack or boost when I need something extra.

Yep. Had one today as my *snack* I prefer the chocolate over the vanilla, but i still do both for variety. Not bad to me. I never had the Slimfast brand. Just make sure they are very cold! :bigsmile:

:bigsmile: Thank you all!!! I appreciate the warm comments about my *brood*. I have made some special friends on MFP who have spurred me on with encouragement. And I would really like to be an inspiration to my children and others on being fit for life. And now I'm glad to meet some new friends as well! ((HUGS))

You look AMAZINGLY different....I especially took note of the pictures of your back....those rolls of MINE back there really annoy me. So YES you definitely can tell a big difference all over!!! High-five it girl!!

: :laugh: I agree....I used to fear that as I was "running" (actually I call it puttering) down the road, a vehicle would pull up beside me, roll the window down, and the person inside would say, "ma'am....please don't do this in public". :laugh: BUT I was totally wrong! My neighbors all wave and give the most encouraging…

Congratulations!! You don't even look like the same person...at all!!

Nothing he said was a appropriate, and although I absolutely agree that his reply was absurd....I find myself laughing out loud at all of the replies you received on great comebacks....I will have to bump this one for future reference. This is once place you don't have to worry about someone "having your back"....I LOVE…

I agree!!

Totally agree!

You don't even look like the same girl!! Congratulations on such hard work!

What a beautiful transformation!! CONGRATS!!!

I needed this article today. Thank you so much for sharing!

What an inspiration indeed! Jen, you don't even look like the same person. Thank you for sharing your story and pics with us. Congrats!!:happy:
