Yes! The difference I noticed was having energy. When I had the mirena my doc had run every test imaginable trying to figure out why I was so darn tired all the time. I just felt like crap. Within a month I felt SO MUCH BETTER. I also am able to lose weight easier. I think mainly becuase the hormones made me hungry all the…

You look AMAZING. Such an inspiration. I'm with lemanda, I am like 5 lbs lighter than you and 2 inches taller but don't look anywhere close to that hot. I guess that having 2 C-sections really did change my body dramatically. Anyway, enough self-pity - congratulations on your loss! Great job. Any tips would be greatly…

I listen to the same music we use in my zumba class which is mostly latin and hip hop. I also like classic rock.

How in my ridiculously long list did I forget Pineapple Express. Another fave! LOL

Most of the really hilarious ones have already been mentioned. Super Troopers and Superbad are tops. Beer Fest. The Hangover....Wow, laughing as I think about them. I also really did like Death at a Funeral and Date Night. How about Club Dread? I must admit, I still laugh at all the National Lampoon movies. As well as…

Hi girls. Sorry I didn't weigh in last Friday. I had to go to the ER with a kidney stone on Thursday and was in too much agony all weekend to care what my weight was :sad: However, I weighed on Wednesday and was 157.6 (I think that is 1lb) so lets use that. I'm very afraid of this Friday's weight since I have not been…

I have to go through there on my way to Lexington to take my kid to the Dr. I have to go through this week in fact. I will waive :happy:

Wow, two other West Virginians replied :) However, I am from the Southern part of WV which some Northerns West Virginias don't claim :) I'm dreading the snow storm they are calling for Tuesday night grrrr I need a break from this white stuff LOL I've lived here my whole life except for a short stint in Lexington, VA for…

Skinnyby29: I am so trying you spinach stuffed meatloaf this weekend! Thanks for your blog :)

This really varies for everyone, although I think that most of us weigh in the a.m. on an empty stomach. Also, most of us throw in the "after the potty" requirement lol As far as day, I do the opposite of ouryear002. I know I blow it a little on the weekend so I weigh in on Friday so that the weekend's sodium/alcohol/etc.…

Ok, weekly weigh in time. Starting Weight: 159.8 Week 1 Weight: 159.8 Today's Weight: 158.6 That's a 1.2 lb loss. I'll take it! Esp. since my diet hasn't exactly been perfect and I have been pretty lazy. LOL So, I want to lose 16% of 24.8 lbs. That means I have 23.6 left to go. I better kick it up a notch... I also joined…

I agree with EA active. I wish I could afford EA active 2. I also really enjoy the zumba nad the gold's gym boxing. Haven't tried the biggest loser...may need to try that one.

I think it really depends on your body structure. I have gotten frustrated before wondering this question. I see people my height and weight who wear much smaller jean sizes. I just don't understand. Anyway, I am 5'8.5" and I weight 158.8. I wear a junior's 11 or a misses 12 although I could probably wear a 10 if I really…

Hey all! Congratulations to all of those who have lost! We can do this together. I did not lose anything this week. However, I didn't gain anything either, so I guess that is a good thing. It is a little discouraging since I've been working out hard and eating pretty clean, but I will get there. I am going to start trying…

Wow, that was super inspirational. You look amazing!

Christmas pictures did that to me. I was feeling a lot better and then saw them. Wow, I still got a ways to go. Also, seeing those made me think...how big was I before I lost all this weight? I never want to see those pictures again.

I want in on this. I can't wait to be able to wear a 2 piece this summer! I think I am even brave enough now to take a before picture :embarassed: However, my starting weight is 159.8 and 20% of that is 32 lbs which would put me down to 127.8 lbs and my goal is 135 lbs. So can I be in and just set my goal at 135 which is…

I'm 5' 8.5" How about you? My starting weight was much higher, about 209. My goal weight is 135. What's yours?

Dec 6th: 165.5 Dec 13th: 164.6 Dec 20th: ? Dec 27th: 159.8 Dec 31st: Woo Hoo! I am under 160 for the first time in over 3 years. Plus, I am over my 5 pound goal for December with a few days to spare! I am also 0.8 lbs from having lost 50 lbs since I started this journey last January. I still feel pretty big so that makes…

Count me in! I will weigh in on Friday the 31st and put my exact goal after that but 14 lbs sounds good to me.

LOL...I'm not super active or anything, I just have a short attention span and get bored very easily :blushing:

I'm about 5'8.5" with a small/medium frame (although I have often said large to make myself feel better) and currently around 164. My original goal weight was 135 but, although I'm definately not happy with where I'm at, I'm beginning to think 145 is more realistic. My smallest adult weight was about 150 and I wasn't quite…

I know its expensive if you don't have one, but I highly recommend my Wii for working out at home. I have used WiiFit and EA Active, now I'm doing Zumba. I love that it keeps track and motivates you because sometimes with videos I take too many breaks because no one is watching...especially if my motivation is low for that…

Hi everyone. I'm sorry that I haven't been on here supporting everyone this week. It has been CRAZY around here, but I did go back and read every thing and want to congratulate everyone on your progress. Those of you with set-backs, don't get down - stay motivated! I stayed home with my kids yesterday for my youngest…

Is it too late to join? I have recently got back on the wagon so to speak and really need a challenge to motivate me. I weighed in today at 165.5. Although I know this is a 5 lb challenge, I'd really like to loose 6 so I can be under 160 on New Years Day!

WOW! Your transformation is amazing. You are really motivating me to get back in the full P90X rotation. Right now I just do some of the videos when my shoulder is up to it. Congratulations!!!!! I'm super impressed. Did you follow the meal plan exactly or just use MFP?

I'm in. I needed this today :) The eating super healthy is my hang up right now. I'm craving sweets :blushing: Name: Sarah Water: 10/96 oz Calories Burned: ?/750 I did an hour of zumba but I don't have a HRM. I'll run it through the database later. I'm now off to clean my nasty house. That should take some calories :)

I tried the November challenge, but I have a shoulder issue that flared on me. I still do push-ups but on a much smaller scale until I can get my shoulder strengthened and straightened out. However, I am so up for the squats!!!! I am pumped for this challenge. Yea!

I was on Welbutrin and went off about 2 months ago (on my own, bad idea). I had lost weight on the Welbutrin and have gained since I went off. I think it is the lack of impulse control, but I'm not sure. Other anti-depressants did cause weight gain, but not the Welbutrin. On a side note, I wish I wouldn't have stopped…

When I first got on here and heard all of ya'll talking about hummus I tried some plain and thought you were crazy. I also didn't like the pepper. I recently thought I would give it another try and found Sabra with roasted pine nuts. It is amazing. I like to dip veggies (esp. carrots) in it and I like it with wheat…
