HAHAHHAH!!!!!!! I JUST SAW THIS!! HILARIOUS :)

I started at about the same place, and I am down to 231, it feels like it's taking forever! I've been getting serious about it the past few weeks, but I want to see progress faster. I suppose I have to get used to the fact that it's going to take awhile. Thanks for posting this, it's so good to know that it's possible!

I find it super disappointing that people ask questions trying to get help, and so many people are so quick to criticize. It's so sad that a website like this exists to help support one another, and people end up feeling attacked. I commented on this topic in hopes that someone would actually have something to say about…

I loved it! It was delicious! It kept me full for hours. I did not do it to necessarily lose weight, but did the shakeology program with a friend and I loved it :) It is yummy and so good for you! Those of you who say we should just stick to food and home cooked meals etc, what would you suggest that would give as many…

I've read that the whole egg is good for you, but only eat the yolk in moderation. I eat eggs almost every day, and I love a hard boiled egg, which is only 17 calories without the yolk! I usually only eat a whole egg once a day IF that, but allow myself as many egg whites as i feel like :)

Should I always be eating back ALL of my exercise calories?

Homemade chili with peppers, onions, carrots, tomatoes, spinach onions and all sorts of beans. YUM! With white rice, but not too much :)

I could use motivation! I do alright with the exercise, but would like to do better. I have such a hard time not eating too much! And then I forget to log it in, and it's all downhill from there :) Tips?

I do the same thing, but I have less willpower than you do :) I cave almost every night, but allow myself a cup of nonfat greek yogurt with granola. I realized how many calories were in granola so I switched to a Kashi cereal with less. It's hard! I want to eat all the time, and I feel like since I am on here logging my…

YEAHHH!!!! That's awesome! You look great! 10 pounds takes a lot of work, and it's obviously a big difference! I need to find someone to take pictures for me, and then I need to start exercising again lol.. Bummer!

this is what i would do :)

Cuuuute! Can you tighten the top on the black one? I love it!

I went to Target and bought a Reebok product which comes with a big exercise ball, and 3 resistance bands, with a video that shows you how to do everything. It's pretty easy but I felt it the next day!

I like apples with peanut butter! PB is high in calories, and so are some apples. It works for me! I just had cereal lol..

Welcome! I started really using this site about 3-4 weeks ago and I love it! There are so many caring people and it's a really awesome way to share the journey with people, especially if you don't have people around you to encourage you! I love reading the forums to see questions people ask, and tips, etc. It's a great way…

My stomach seems huge to me but hiking and doing an ab and back video with a small ball, it's going down, according to my best friend. Several people have told me my belly is smaller but who knows lol. When I feel like I need to lose weight NOW, I do the only thing I can, I get on the floor and do 10 minutes of exercise,…

AMAZING!!!!!!! You look so great! You really motivated me with that post!

Weekly Goal: 4000 (last week 4000) Mon: 285 Hiking Tues: 252 Walking Wed: 127 Walking Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total:664 Left to go: 3336

Yes! Big difference!! Measure yourself :) That's how you will really see it. I can see a difference in your arm and face and neck too!!

AWESOME JOB!!! I just started hiking, and i try to do 1.5 miles a day, and i LOVE IT! I've been doing it since April. I use an app on my phone called Cardio Trainer, and it keeps track of everything I do for excercise, etc.

I have a friend like that. It's super irritating! Just tell her that you are trying really hard, and it makes it harder for you to eat out. She should understand that you are making an effort, and be able to understand. I feel for you! Sometimes its just needing to vent and feel validated that makes us feel better. Just…

I've heard it too, something about the combination having a way to help heal your muscles. I have been trying to drink a medium glass of skim milk after I go for a hike :) If nothing else, it's protein and it's delicious lol

Yes!!! I have an app on my phone that figures calories and I did it on here too, it's listed in the exercises :) the other day I burned almost 700 calories in an hour of swimming... I also go hiking alot and thats a great workout! i hate walking on the tar because my feet get sore quickly, but love walking fast in the…

i would also like to start, but need some advice on strength training i can do at home. i just bought two 5 lb weights that i do some arm workouts with, but need some other suggestions please! :)

Awesome! I didn't do any detox, I just slowly went from eating awful foods to better foods, and I'm starting to eat more organic. I've been working really hard to eat mostly fruits and veggies, not easy! :)
