every excuse in the book held me back. denial, laziness, stress...you name it i could argue my way out of a diet no matter what. But for the first time in 7 yrs my life is stable and more or less stress-free. My husband will officially be medically discharged from the air force in two weeks after being hurt in a plane…

Hey ladies! I'm 26 and started out at around 240. Currently at 220 with a 18 months of work. I know I know but to be honest given my summer 2012 and winter 2011 it's not surprising I didn't drop more. Moving across the country Dec 2011 and my husband being in a plane crash in June 2012 really screwed with my weight and…

I haven't lost as much weight as I would like (obviously lol) but I toned up! I lost MAJOR inches. I started the end of last April and then in June had to slow down as my husband was in a plane crash and hospitalized for two months...then rehab and blah blah blah. So overall I'd say I went consistently for three-four…

I am a Sacramento Supporter...hehe just stuck in Florida.

Fly back home to be with family. Or, given that my husbands family and mine live on opposite sides of the country, just be with my husband. Checked off one bucket list item last night we spent our evening laying on the beach watching the meteor shower. I'd drink a lot, eat tons of chocolate, eat tons period. and zumba.…

theres a great website...zumbacalories.com...that helps you calculate how much you burn in a class! it syncs up with my hrm within 10-15 cals regularly!

AF wife here! hubs is heading out shortly for his first deployment (five yrs in without a deployment we got lucky!) and I intend to HIT IT HARD when hes gone. Been going through a horrrrrrrible plateau but I WILL break it...ive been with MFP for a year and have had my ups and downs. We PCS'd, I got hurt, hubs training, and…

I highly recommend just going to a class! I looked like a fool for my first two classes...okay I'm sure it was longer than that HAHA. You really get into it and the atmosphere really pumps up the work out! no need to fear looking dumb...everyone always does their first classes!

Air Force Wife here! feel free to add me! I'm getting back on track after a PCS from hell and trying to get my scale to agree with me once again... =D

I LOVED Pilates when I did it years ago but it, for me, was more relaxing and I know for a fact I didn't burn as many cals as i do when i do zumba. Try both...I am currently doing Zumba 4-5 times a week and hope to add in Pilates to build up my core and help with a bad knee I have. They are completely different so it…

I too was on Zoloft for about 7 years. When I started easing off of it I was also in therapy at the time which i really think helped. I had some of those weird feelings and started to go back to how i felt before...but i also think I stayed on it too long. I would talk to your doctor and see if maybe you should slow down…

We have the same basic goal! I've got some serious hips so i'm always wary of what others look like at my goal weight (ill never be a size 6 with my baby birthing hips!) I'm very interested to see what everyone looks like too though! nice to know someday I wont be so...lumpy.

Originally Modesto CA but home is considered Sacramento CA...now we live in Florida by way of Albuquerque

Oh i guess I should say where I'm moving LOL We are going to be in Fort Walton Beach or Navarre in two weeks! Very excited to be back on a beach...yay

I'll be from Florida in 2 weeks! :D Very excited to get away from NM (Im a cali native) now that the snow is coming in I don't think this move could come any faster....YAY FLORIDA!

I thought I would just throw portion control out the window but I took a nice look at my menu and realized it's not all that bad. So I will double my veggies and cut my potatoes in half (as much as that may hurt) and skip the rolls but really it's not horrible if you stop eating when youre full. Now pie...I have cut over…

Halloween for us was last night (live on a military base and the kiddos came around last night) I was SO bummed when they took all our candy! I got 5 bags thinking we'd have some left over haha but thankfully they took it all! But that being said my husband hid two for me :) I had a fun size 100 grand last night and…

San Francisco by Brett Dennen...he's an old family friend and it reminds me of home, him, how far hes gone, spending 10 summers at camp with him and my sisters and just how much i miss home.

okay from an anthropological point of view no humans should not have dairy BUt that being said our bodies have evolved greatly to include lactose tolerance...early hominids were ALL lactose intolerant that is where she is getting it from because any milk would actually be dangerous at that point in time to the body...but…

You know if you're doing the right stuff or not and it seems like you are. This works. No matter what being healthier, eating healthier, exercising...these things are the ONLY thing that actually work to drop the weight. Just stick with it and know you will push through...its hard but you're doing right by your body and it…

I feel like I've had a pretty...not rough but interesting life....list of things that have made me stronger and more unique: Survived 14 malignant melanomas over the last 11 yrs (only 2 sunburns in my life too...damn that sun!) Domestic violence survivor Birthmother (AND PROUD!) Military wife (AND PROUD!) I am 25 and have…

I LOVE LOVE LOVE London...period. Love it. Fav city in the world! and I've traveled. My one bit of advice is take your time...spend as much time in places as you can. don't rush it...a friend of mine just did basically all of the major sites in europe in 3 weeks and just missed so much. didnt enjoy it. and felt like she…

Hi! Welcome to DC Anonymous. It is in fact possible to be addicted to caffeine and the sugars in DC don't make it any easier. I am almost 2 years sober haha. I laugh but in all seriousness I had a major problem. When I was forced to quit (long story but i didn't have access to it on our honeymoon and plane delays and such…

i would go check with a doctor....i hurt my knee gosh 4 months ago now....dislocated/fractured/ripped it so i really hurt myself. and in that time i've managed to still drop 30 lbs. its possible to get in shape and such without exercise. but I would take it easy and go to a doctor before working it too hard. Knees are so…

I cant say anything about Celtrixa because well I have no need for it and haven't tried it. Now i say I don't have a need because I found my wonder product haha...Stri-vectin worked WONDERS on my stretch marks and some nasty surgical scars I had. My friend just ordered some on ebay for crazy cheap too! I can tell you that…

I dont know if I lost inches because of it or because of losing weight BUT I lost 20 lbs and used it during that time...i couldnt walk so i figured it couldnt hurt...and i lost an 1.75 inches off my arms (each arm) i felt like i noticed a huge difference but that being said it was a mix of losing weight and crutches and 30…

I havent taken my measurements yet but will update you when i do! Hubs is sleeping still and I dont want to wake him by going into the bedroom to get my tape measure haha...cranky hubs will ruin Balloon Fiesta for me. BUT this morning I weighed in (three times mind you!) at 209.6 This puts me at my lowest weight in 6 yrs.…

I am one of three daughters. I'm the youngest and both of my sisters are just enough older then me that growing up we missed out on the bonding. Liz is 4 yrs older then I am and Kate is 8 yrs older. We are all VERY different people so that didn't help the bonding either. Regardless I love my sisters and would never give…

I am sorry I havent been around much! I've been struggling a little with motivation but I'm going to try to force myself back onto the right track! My October goals are: Lose 8 Pounds (be at 204 by Halloween) Do a total of 10,000 crunches (2500 a week/500 a day) Do a total of 4,000 Leg Lifts (1,000 a week/200 a day) Do a…
