I get on the scale and way too often. Kinda obsessed about it. It can be frustrating at times because my weight fluctuates tremendously. For example......Fri 191.8, Tue 196, yesterday 190.6. So every Friday I pray it is a good scale day so I don't let my team down.

I really would love to have body like that and there is no one in particular. But I would like to have a fit and tone body like Jillian Michaels.

I haven't set mini goals....let me think about this. 180 (-11#)......new pair of heels 170 (-21)........massage 160 (-31)........new outfit

I have never done anything to break a plateau. Sorry can't help ya.

I used to fill the stress with eatting and over eatting at that. I have learned that exercise releases endorphens and helps reduce stress. And a lot of prayer.

It used to get me down and I would discourage me. Now it motivates me to work harder. I don't want to be defeated.

My challenges at this time is the sweets. I plan to be conscious of calorie content as well as nutritional content before putting it in my mouth. Thinking of my long term goal. Another thing that will keep me going is I have a nephew that 15 years old and weighs about 270 and want to be a good example for him. He is moving…

Planning my meals is a biggie for me! And working out in the morning. If I try to do it in the evening something always gets in the way. Plus I find I eat better through the day because I don't want to negate all my hard work plus my appetite seems less and my energy seems more. I would love to start working out in the…

We are glad to have you :)

Friday: QOTD Low fat snacks Spring mix salad with ginger dressing (the dressing is only 70 calories for 2 Tbsp) super yummy! Apple Tomatoe Broccoli Yoplait whips (freeze them and it is like ice cream!) Jillian Michael's whey protein shake (100 cal and very satisfying) 27 cheez-it crackers (they fill that chip and cheese…

My reason when I first started was so my boyfriend would think that I was hot....very lame I know. Well 5 months ago I did loose weight (him-180#). Then the journey came for me to look good for me, and now it has changed again. I met someone(Kevin)new (just friends) and he is 42, runs everyday and healthy eating. His…

Wednesday- "another one of those diets" Very good question. I for myself feel that I have my mind, body and soul into looking weight this time because I want to be healthy. I want to live a full and qualitative life. The other season'se is before I would try too loose weight so the man I was with wouldn't make not nice…

Tues-restaurants: I try to get fish and steamed vegs. The hardest is for me not to get tea or coke and stick to just water. All those empty calories in drinks.

Monday QOTD: I find that cross training is a great way to burn calories and tone. Having stations that you rotate between. Lifting the weights help tone and the constant moving is a great cardiovascular workout. It is easy to do in a gym setting but I am trying to figure out how to so it in the home setting. Haven't quite…

So ready to get this week I. Gear after last week.....ready to see less of me :) bye bye steroid weight.

Tues QOTD: cheat days I dont really plan cheat days they just kinda happen and here lately too often. And that is beacuse I am not planning my exercise and meals like I should. I am learning that when I stick with the program I feel so much better. But I also have learned that if I am really craving something to have a…

Welcome back to the Black Team! Glad to have you!!!!!!!!

Good job blue team. QOTD: I found dancing to be very beneficial and fun. Any of the Wii games and they make a zumba that will kick your butt. It is said zumba burns up to 800 calories in and hour session.

Friday QOTD: Regular coke is my downfall. The problem is I don't five in to the craving very well. I am trying to sub water for coke.

I have several problem areas....my belly is so big and flabby. Planks are good...but I still have too much fat to see them. My arms keep waving even after I am done.....tricep presses help with that. And my thighs rub....lunges help them and the buttocks.

On Friday

Awesome question.....that is my biggest problem is I have no motivation most days. I am still trying to figure that out myself. But it was very helpful reading how everyone else is doing it. I will take all that in.

Peanut, I sent you an email about my weight being correct at 175 (175.4 to be exact). Starting 2 1/2 weeks ago was 189. Week before last was 176 and now it is 175.4. I put it on the spread sheet as starting 176 and current 175.4. I dont know what I did wrong. Hopefully I will do it right next week. Tanya

Welcome. Good luck!

Hi, I am Tanya. I am one of the new members. Super excited to be included in this challenge. I am 31 and tired of being over weight. I have struggled all my life with weight. When I was 17 I got down to 115. I quick gained it back after a devastating car wreck that I lost my dad in. I slowly gained all my weight back plus…

Muscle weighs more than fat....and the more muscle you have the more calories you burn at times of rest. Stay positive! You are worth it.

Unfortunately when your skin gets stretched rapidly (weight gain then rapid weight loss, or in you case a babies) you loose the elasticity. It is like stretching a rubber band and it gets to where it doesn't bounce back. Surgery is the only option.

That is absolutely amazing! You are an inspiration.
