Wow, huge difference! Thanks for the inspiration!

You are already doing amazing. Don't look to 183, just keep taking it one day at a time.

Thanks everyone.

I can help you a little. If you have an exercise DVD or Netflix you can do that to work out. There are also free workouts on Youtube and on the fitness magazine site (you have to regsiter with the site but it is free). You can also start walking with your son.. Try getting up an hour or a half hour early and do one of…

You look great~!

I don't trust myself enough yet to really have a cheat day. But I find that on the weekends which are rest days for me for working out, I will eat less salad and try some other things, but I still try to stay near the calorie goal. I have issues, once I eat something I shouldn't I tend to start a long binge and just keep…

I use Stevia in the raw

Oh yeah, I am right there with you. If we felt as big as we were we'd probably do something about it sooner. I have done the same thing. I think I look nice and I go some place. Then I see pics and I am horrified about what I "really" look like.

but your pictures show you are losing weight! screw the scale. i am going to get weighed in a few months.

Thanks all. As much as I am not concerned so much with the number I guess it is like a pay off at the end ofyour heard work all week so it is why I wanted to weigh in. I knew I worked so hard I just wanted my hard work validated I wanted my stupid ticker to move lol.

That is very true. The number is not bad at all. If I hadn't seen the lower one I'd be thrilled.

Last time it was about 2 hours later. But this is 3 whole pounds over last week. If I lost 2lbs, then my weight would be fluctuatiing 5 whole pounds. I usually do not fluctuate more than 2 or 3. I have a feeling my scale is just wrong. LIke I was sure I did not weigh 153 last week but I figured I would at least be able to…

Thanks guys.

ahhh...i remember munching on those with my babies. now maybe i will buy some since you say they are so low in calories lol.

That's weird that your coworker makes fin of you for eating at that time. Most people eat at 5 or 6 I think. I try to shoot for that time. Sometmes I run late but I always feel bad when I do and we eat at 7 or after. I think the earlier the better although I do always find myself eating something before bed.

Thanks everyone. I am so glad I asked. Looks like I will go with the Polar!

you could get up an hour or half hour earlier and do a workout.

"when are you due?" :(

I feel the same way about going to the gym! I am sure someday i will join one since I only have limited equipment at home but I have had those same hesitations, I am sure everyone does!

I'd love to do this in 5 weeks so it is 2 lbs per week but 10 weeks might be more realistic. I guess we'll see...

Yes please, may I? 4/18/12- Current Weight is 153 I plan to workout 5 days per week and I am doing 1200 calories per day. Let's do this!!

I did get awesome shoes. I have new balance hiking shoes (I LOOOOOVE hiking) and Asics running shoes. I researched a lot before getting them, too. I am so proud of myself lol. Thank you for the advice. I really appreciate it. I just started some weights this week and have been doing every other day. I am only using…

Wow when I wore a size 7 I weighed 103 lbs. You must have a lot of muscle, especially since you said you worked out a lot before. I am betting your waist is really thin and the weight you carry is from muscle.

I am 5'2". My goal is 120. Really I feel like I could go down as far as 100-110 and be healthy. I used to weigh that a loooooooong time ago but I am not sure if it is realistic anymore, so I will reassess at 120. I have no idea about the body fat percentage.

I agree with not dropping too low because calories are needed for bodily functions. But I think if I eat 1200 calories rather than 1400 I will be fine and still drop weight, especially if I am not even hungry.

I have seen a lot of studies saying it is a myth also. Some people fast two times a week for weight loss with no reverse effects. I am not saying anyone should fast but I think at my weight with all my stores fat, if I am 100-200 calories under I am not going to go into starvation mode. There are no fat starving people out…

Well if it is kickboxing, I (according to this and other sites) burned 117 calories from 10 minutes of kickboxing (I had a 10 minute solution DVD with a ten minute kickboxing workout) so I would say it is possible.
