You didn't let anyone down. You started a thread that has been keeping a lot of people accountable. I think everyone can understand that your knees just aren't up to the challenge at the moment. I hope they will feel better soon. Thanks for the challenge. I'm only on Day 9, I've had good days and bad days, but I wouldn't…

Whatever you're doing, keep doing it! You are a changed woman. So, it's a bit slower. You knew it would be, didn't you? Just keep going. The hard part (starting) is well behind you. Live your new lifestyle and meeting your goals will follow!

Confession: I did Day 9, but i phoned it in as Jillian says.

I am going to try to say this as kindly as possible because that is how it is meant. You may think you're helping someone by giving them unsolicited advise on how much sugar is in a candy bar or a soda, but no matter how good your intentions are, please don't do it. Trust me, they KNOW. Smokers KNOW smoking is bad for…

You had your period for ten days? That is very long. I would see a gyno about that if you haven't.

I have "scale" issues that have in the past lead to some very unhealthy eating habits. So, even though I'm only two weeks in, I plan to weigh in once a month too. But, my real progress will be measured with a measuring tape and my clothes.

Three things I love about this post: 1. I love that you have met your weight loss and fitness goals 2. I love that you are honest enough to post the pics of your loose skin 3. I love that your husband made your photo journey. That is really sweet.

Find a consignment shop! Bring in what doesn't fit and get what does. It will be way less than retail, especially if you're bringing in and not just taking out!

I have not tried it yet, but I'm definitely going to try salt and vinegar baked Kale this week (just google it there are hundreds of recipes). I'm told it tastes a lot like salt and vinegar potato chips (or crisps for the Brits in the crowd.) but with ZERO guilt as there's only one tblsp of olive oil on an entire batch.…

Great Job, what a difference! I'm sure we can assume you are no longer "Enjoying Coke". It's crap, but they make awesome t-shirts!

My partner is 6'1 and he's on MFP too. They've set his calories at 1700, so if you're a fair bit shorter than 6'1 it seems reasonable that your calorie count is 1400. Some people choose to eat their exercise calories, some choose not to. I know if i was eating mine (especially the inflated exercise cals burn i log on mfp…

Great results! I love looking at people with similar body types as me and mentally superimposing your weight loss on me! Closest thing to instant I can get :) How tall are you????

I bet a little tweak of the meds will do the trick! Good luck!

Day8 done, still Level 1 and I might just be there for a while. But I haven't skipped. And I'm doing 30-50 minutes of extra cardio every day. So, hopefully that will be enough until I can handle the move up....

I'm in. I'm doing 30 Day Shred every day and have been doing elliptical for another 30-45 minutes a day. I decided to do Zumba Cardio Party after the Shred yesterday. WHEW! Kicked my butt much more than the elliptical. So I will do Zumba 3 X a week , every second or third day, with everyone here.

Ok, you need to know, you did NOT gain 4 pounds of muscle weight in a short amount of time. Not unless you're taking 'roids and working out ten hours a day. Even then as a woman to gain four pounds of muscle weight it takes a loooong time and a lot of strength training. More likely it's water weight, associated with your…

I'd go with raw carrots, celery, cucumber, and snowpeas with hummus for dipping. I know a lot of other people like sweet potatoes in lieu of white potatoes. They're not my cup of tea, but i think they're lower in carbs.

May your tears this morning be the first of buckets of happy tear shed throughout your journey. Like other posters, I am very grateful you are here to share your milestones and inspire others.

There's a new wrist HRM for sale at CVS, apparnetly quite reasonably priced and getting rave reviews. I live overseas, but will pick one up when I go to the USA in July. The machine are absolute crap. MFP seems way too high to me as well.

SWEET! That is just amazing. What a gift you are giving yourself and everyone who loves you!

Big difference in your stomach, hips, back and arms. Since that's all that's showing i imagine there's a huge difference everywhere! Way to go!

Just completed Day 7 (i started on june 5). The strength is coming just fine...still modifying pushups, but lunges are getting deeper and deeper and i'm getting through all the abs now. The cardio in circuit 2 and 3 is fine. But I am still losing my breath to the point I have to stop and catch it during the last jumping…

What a fantastic accomplishment! Keep going knowing that everyone here will be your willpower when you need it . Way to go!

GREAT job and thanks so much for posting. I have a very similar body shape to you (except i'm only 5'7" unfortunately). But, it's really inspiring to see what 25 pounds MAY look like on me. Keeps me going to look at these success pics and read people's stories.

Great job! Your belly loss in particular is incredible.

So, there's a single Mom, who after many bad decisions is finally taking the steps toward getting an education and doing what she has to to raise and support her child and herself. My first thought about registering at Target for a moving away party is that it was really tacky. But, then I thought, what is the difference…

All i see is a frog in an icecube. That happens a lot to me. Others are seeing pictures, I am seeing a frog in an ice cube. Weird. Anyone know why?
