I think were pretty close to twins! HW: 240 MFP SW: 221 CW:203 GW 150 5'7" 38 yrs old

this!! I work night shift and I find myself eating to stay awake or out of boredom. I just go searching for food....it's terrible. I try to make sure I have several choices of healthy snacks to choose from so I don't eat stuff I should not. But it is still challenging!

kir the start of my name, and 911 because I am a police dispatcher.

There were alot of moments that should have been THE moment, like my youngest daughter asking if there was a baby in my tummy again after I had her baby sister. Seeing pictures of myself looking disgusting, but the moment I decided to do it was more motivated by seeing several close friends losing weight. I had been making…

you go girl! I am happy to help motivate and get additional motivation from others! I plan to be at my goal by September! This is the year for I WILL not I will try. Feel free to add me!

California girl....Northern CA ...the wine country!

I primarily do weights...but in a cardio style...crossfit type workouts, so i get a cardio workout at the same time. I very rarely do traditional cardio....ie. jumping on machines. and I am doing fine with weight loss. Strength training is actually better for you in alot of ways, because the more muscle you have in your…

ebay too....good deals

Awesome!! You were at my starting weight and now at my goal....can't wait! Makes me definately want this more and more!!

I have three pounds to lose to be in onderland....after than my number will never have a 2 in front of it again....1 all the way!

Thanks for posting this thread....I work night shift and I drink alot of coffee and I struggle with this greatly! I am gonna try a few of everyones suggestions, things I would not have thought of otherwise. Almond milk sounds great...I also like the idea of the cinnamon in the grounds and flavored coffees themselves.…

beef jerky or ready made protein shakes

Sorry about the responses you are getting on this thread...it has become ridiculous lately with negativity. I hope you find the supporitve people that are on here to become friends with and that can assist you with your journey. I am a little concerned about your post though and I would suggest speaking with your…

This!!! I absolutely love your advice Cory....spot on and well said!! Just look at your success. I agree definately that the quality of the calories you put in your mouth is extremely important. You will hear alot of different opinions on this on the website. But, if you are looking to improve your overall health making…

Sonoma county, CA....aka the wine country....just north of San Fran!

The other thing that alot of people have not mentioned is that it often takes 6-8 weeks for your body to really realize what is going on and for the weight loss to begin. It took me roughly 6 weeks for the scale to move. Your weight is not a good indication because depending on the time of day you weigh, salt intake, water…

I do crossfit style workouts mainly. Deadlifts, squats, kettlebells etc. I lift as heavy as I can, but, crossfit is also about time and how well you can do the same circuit in less time. I am getting stronger and stronger. The 55lb kettelbell is starting to feel light on sumo high pulls. It's a good feeling! The inches are…

I would say you probably have the strength and just don't realize it. If you don't try free weights, kettlebells etc you won't develop your stabilizing muscles that you use so much doing that kind of lifting. The machines don't really allow for your full range of motion and for you to engage your stabilizer muscles. You…

I use the bar and bumper plates...they are awesome!

actually alot of times it will help to work out when you are sore. Your soreness is usually lactic acid built up in your muscles and when you workout again, it helps to release it . It shouldn't hurt you, it helps me recover quicker most of the time. Not to say though that the next workout won't make you sore too! If you…

Coffee!!! and sweets. I have both still daily. and I can't drink my coffee black, so yes I use creamer or milk and sugar. I also have something sweet every day....it may just be a sugar free pudding cup or a small piece of chocolate, but it is something. I just make sure I am always still in my calorie range.

I think I can top all of you....Gruvy nipples, freakus palekus, and ocean moon...all people that lived in the city I grew up in. Only in CA! lol

Nice!! Glad to know girls are not the only ones who have bad first dates. Kinda funny you mention the interogation thing though...my dad was famous for that being a police officer. Made for some embarassing moments I tell you! My worst first date was a blind date that got forced on me by a friend who was trying to land the…

I just ignore it and move on. I know why I am here and it is not for everyone else it is for me. I have a very positive experience so far...but, I totally have seen those that you are talking about and there negative and downright mean comments. So NOT necessary. I am here to get support and support everyone else, team…

My husband is a personal trainer and is on the site too....I will have him message you and give you some ideas.

Feel free to add me...I am a mother of 3....and at about the same point as you are. Happy to support you!
