I'm totally start on Monday type of person. Then I plan the whole month out hoping to stay on track.

BIKINI!!

Knowing why I want it. Then I repeat that to myself over and over. That and MFP - super helps!

- taking photos with my son - wearing cute jeans - having confidence again - cross my legs with ease - being able to remove my wedding ring when I want to (can't get it off currently) - wear a bikini with pride - not being larger than my husband - making my son proud - wear those cute clothes that are hanging in the closet

I'm starting this on Monday - I hope I'm not as sore but at least I know now what to expect. No pain no gain I guess. Good luck to everyone!

A good night sleep and getting to bed early the night before.

I'm in, please feel free to add me - I have 48 pounds to lose by July 1/15 - that's my long term goal.

There was a no alcohol for 2 week challenge on here that I took. I was so afraid at first and I must admit, it wasn't easy or pretty, but it was so worth it! I lost weight faster and my entire attitude changed for the better. I now look back and see that I didn't need to drink that excessively or for stress relief. I have…

We are going to family's and she always makes a big spread. I know I'll go over my calorie goal but will be back at it for the new year. New Year's is only once a year....I think it's okay to indulge a little.

I think his ratings have been doing down alot, particularily this year. It's another way for him to make loads more cash and boost ratings.

Never heard of it but good luck with it!

I do hot yoga and it's wonderful. Remember to drink plenty of water.

YUMMY!!

I'm with it being all genetics!

LOL - I just read a post on a previous thread that this phrase was their top one to ban for 2015.

"Just don't get too skinny"

I sometimes feel the same way. I go often to hot yoga and I am always nervous starting the session. Once you get your groove on, you realize that no one is there to look at you or judge you. We all started somewhere so appreciate that everyone is at a different place in the journey. Just like you aren't going to the gym to…

I weight myself daily for accountability. But, everyone is different.
