Someone posted "Everyone in US is fat" Maybe it is just me, but people say some really "intelligent" things. Exactly how did that comment contribute to the conversation.

I am 5'2 and I currently weight 206 and I am pushing for 150-160, I am very shapely and look really good at that weight. All of the charts say I should be 105 that is insane, I would look like a bobble head.

OMG you look so Awesome...Keep going this is so awesome.

You look awesome. Amazing difference.

Thanks to everyone for your feedback, I think I will just leave it alone, you guys are right eating right and exercise is it and only it!

I did, but I did not like it. Doesn't mean it does not work, it just wasn't something I liked. I would recommend trying it out, it may be the key for you! Hope it works for you!

This is very difficult, I know because I completely understand, I start and fall of the band wagon and start again, I always feel like I am at the starting point of the race, never in the middle and it has been years since I made it to the end! All I can say is keep pushing it will click one day and nothing will keep you…

I need all the support I can get and I have some great friends on my page that are great motivators...I will friend you!

Wow! you guys have really been motivating me! I started watching last night and thought to myself ok, I can do this and I will have to modify, modify, modify. I am so ready to make this major change in mylife...I want to feel better and look better (I am a vain girl, yes I admit it) I want to wow my husband who will out of…

Awesome Job! I do have several of those as well, and none of them fit, but you are an inspiration!

Thank you so much for the advice....I am going to try this out! I do have the 30day shred too...I didn't even realize I had that one. My friend brought it over and left it for me. One thing I did not purchase the pull up bar and was worried that I would need that for most of the P90X workout, I hoope not because pull ups…

I'd give it to her, why not! don't feel bad at all, you thought abt her....right? That is all that matters!

I know this is difficult, I have two very active children and it is hard to fit in any me time. I must admit I am an early bird and will wake up at 5am to get it in if necessary, but yesterday I went to the park with my daughter who is only 4 and we walked the track together. It was not only getting in some exercise, but…

Besides losing weight, giving up soda is the hardest thing in the world for me. I am a Coke addict, there are weeks where I drink it 2-3 times or more a day and I just can't seem to shake it. When I cut it out cold turkey I get headaches really bad. I drink it like coffee in the morning and just overall love to have! Today…

You have a great attitude, the struggle may be difficult, but it is worth it! I have a great group of friends that are very supportive and as I rise and fall sometimes on this journey, I never give up and MFP friends are a great help! You are not alone in this fight! If you'd like add me as a friend, I will happy to help…

This will be my first challenge and it sounds like a great one! What a reality check on Christmas only being 5mos away...are you kidding me! I want to look good for these Christmas Parties and you are right, who wants to have the same freakin New Year's resolution. It would be nice to exclude weight loss from my New Year's…

Wow! Thanks for all the post, it is really helpful to know that I am not alone in the struggle. I am so glad to hear that so many people are on the same page and that people are still winning this battle no matter how many times we've tried! This gives me what I need to continue on!

Wow! I don't believe much else needs to be said, you look awesome. I loved reading your story and would like to thank you for sharing! I hope to be where you are one day posting pics and all! thanks again that is such a great support system!

Awesome, keep up the good work you are looking great!

The most Blessed State in the land...on the Bible Belt: Virginia Beach, VA (home sweet home for me all my life) Been many places but home is the best!

Wow! 1. Not working out in the morning, if I don't do it more than likely it will not get done 2. Planning, if I do not plan the rest of my day is off balance & I eat whatever I can get my hands on 3. Eating out/Weekends (they catch me off my game and next thing you know healthy is out the window)

I've been on everything you can possibly imagine even Phen-phen, along with many other over the counter things. Now I have heart valve issues...so my suggestion is there is only one way to do this...hardwork, exercise and lifestyle change. Don't get me wrong they worked for me when I was taking them, however the side…

Wow, you look great, you can absolutely see a difference...great job!

I so agree with you, that is tough becasue it is almost 1000 calories over what MFP recommends I take it. If I ate like that for a month or two I would 1 to 2xs what I weigh now and that is so not an option. So, why can't we eat the recommened amount that MFP recommends for that 1-2months and our metabolism adjust to that?…

I think I will try it, I love going tothe frozen yogurt shop here in my town, so use to it I don't even care for ice cream anymore. But never tried actually freezing yogurt, but I will try that. Thanks

If you'd like I'd be happy to have you as a friend. The friends I have are so wonderful and supportive...they really make this much easier. So add me if you like!

She is right Phentermine is not good for you, I was on and off of it for a few years and I did lose weight, however the trade was heart valve problems...so not worth the trade.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words of encouragement. I am going to keep going. I just went to lunch with a group of friends and we went to my favorite spot and I over ate, I've been waiting all week to go there and I blew it. I just feel like I have to keep starting over. I think I am going to check into emotional…

Hi Lorie, my name is Shawnda and I'm new to MFP as well. Yes, I love this program it is easy to use and it does help you along. You want to excercise because you want to see your progress each day. Good luck on your journey!

Thank you sla0814 for letting me get in on your post. Thank you so much for all the feedback, I am willing to try anything to make this pain better. I really don't want to give up running I love it! I will check out the site. @ Beth thank you as well, I got new running shoes for mother's day, but I think you are right I…
