I think that the water and eating less junk can help almost immediately. I myself have a lot of tummy issues, and I've found that when I slack on the water, it can flare up on me. Keep up the good work!! :drinker: As for difference in th clothes, I don't know....I've lost 12 lbs and it was just a couple of weeks ago I…

:flowerforyou: AWESOME!!

My belly and my upper arms are my worst....I've only lost 12 lb but my face, neck, and legs have thinned out a lot...and I now have a nice butt, according to my teenagers LOL :bigsmile: I do crunches and push ups and light weights (3-5 lbs). I can now suck my gut in and SEE the outline of abs, I just can't get the fat to…

YES go see the DR. Don't mess around when it comes to your knees.

GREAT JOB!! And, I am totally jealous :tongue:

Do the 5k like a C25k workout :happy: walk a few min, run for a minute, walk for a few minutes, run for a minute..... Only worry about two things: FINISHING, and not coming in dead last. You'll do fine!:drinker: PS- if it's getting HARDER for you, back track a week. I've had to do that.

I would get it checked out as well. If Dr says its OK to walk/run, get one of those stretchy ankle brace things and wear that- it will help.

OMG you made me spit out my water :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Good one!

Good for you! Glad your butt is quieter :laugh: maybe that's why the panic attacks are subsiding? :bigsmile:

ROFL:laugh:

Elizabeth gave you great advice. :happy: You still have to LIVE your life, honey! Go, have a good time, and don't sweat it.

It's taken me the same amount of time. I started in April and to date I've lost 12 lbs. Sure, I get frustrated, and would like to lose more, faster. However, I am also trying to get healthy while living a pretty normal life!! I work out 3-5 times a week, and I don't worry about calories on the weekends. I'm sure that If I…

I love my fruity cheerios, chocolate cheerios, and life cereal...I used to eat stuff like Cookie Crisp and Cocoa Puffs...so at least that's progress, right? LOL

Well, I'm the one who buys, hauls, and cooks the food...so they eat what I provide, or starve. Although, Im having a bit of a rough time getting the hubby and kids to eat clean....we've made some progress but they still gripe about a lot of stuff.

Same here :drinker: That's the easy, honest answer! :bigsmile:

I spend $150-200 per week for 5 people, 3 dogs, and 2 guinea pigs. This includes food, household items, clothes, etc. Everything except car stuff and my hobbies. Meal wise this is for dinner every night, lunch every day, and breakfast for the kids. I shop mostly at Meijer but also hit Walmart (I HATE GOING THERE) and the…

I don't think you'll drop below an 18 until you get UNDER 200 lb. I've lost 12 lbs, I am at 198 right now and I still wear an 18 in some things.

Yes, slow down. I've been at it off and on since APRIL and was forced just recently to start over again. I might complete the damn program in a year. My running pace is typically 4 mph. I was doing 5 mph last week and THRILLED, but that's still too fast for me.

I got it at walmart. Near the feminine stuff.

:bigsmile:

My pic is less than a week old. I've lost 12 lbs. My 'before' pics are in my profile. :)

maybe coconut oil or melted real butter? Would up the cals a bit, though.

I did start over this week.... I am doing each day of Week 1 three times- so W1D1, I did Monday and Wed, and will do on Friday. Will do W1D2 the same way next week, then will repeat that day after I come back from vacation. Yesterday's run was much better, but again my knees were complaining some...so, despite my…

I know a lot of people wear compression shorts because I guess they don't ride up. I run in the running skirts with the built in shorts. They start out good and after about 10 minutes die up. I make sure to use the Monistat anti chafing gel so at least Im not in pain, or starting a fire from the friction :laugh:

We've liked everything we;ve tried there. My absolute favorite is the Turkey Taco Chili. I make a ton of it in the fall & winter, and I just about live on it LOL

OMG I LOVE Life cereal.

I buy my stuff at Khols on sale, at TJ Maxx (when I can find larges, anyhow!), and when I make it to a Target (a couple times a year). I also picked up a running skirt at Meijer a couple of weeks ago- super cheap, but it's kind of heavy and slips down on my hips. My have tank top is one from Target. Hot pink, sort of…

I saw it last night. I's an anti seizure medication, and the major side effect of it was weight loss. Of course, no long term effects are known...Too scary for me.

Im not sure I get it entirely. But I listened to a Fat2Fit Radio podcast tonight and they said NOT to eat the calories back. I look at it as a bit of a safety net- if I've worked out then I have those extra calories I an eat if I'm starved. :bigsmile:

Yep, I took before pictures as well...And I just this week took new ones, 3 months in, 12 lb lost. I'll take pics again in 3 months. And congrats on your weight loss! :drinker:
