Awww..shucks! :blushing: I'm proud to be your friend, too!!

I know exactly how you feel! I hate having my picture taken. I have avoided it for a few years and it really hit me when I had to send a family picture in for my daughter's school and couldn't find one. That is when I decided to take control of my life and my weight. I still delete pictures that I don't like the way that I…

I am not a cancer survivor. However, cancer has certainly touched my life. But I just want all of you to know how amazing that I think you are for sharing your stories and I am in awe of the strength and courage it took for you to fight this terrible terrible disease. You motivate me and remind me that life is too short to…

I don't understand the free points either. If it is already calculated into your points and you are not eating that many fruits and veggies it would seem to me that those people are under their calorie goals consistently. I have never done Weight Watchers. I was wondering if on WW if they tell you what your target calorie…

We are going on vacation next week for a week and half. I am planning on bringing the DVD with me and doing it on vacation. Is that an option for you. We are staying in a house so I can go to one of the room and run the DVD on my laptop. It is harder when you are at a hotel. But maybe your husband can take the kids to the…

YAY!! We love new people! We aren't much ahead of you.

I'll have to check that out. I'm not that advance...just been watching Anita!

We can do it! It isn't an option to stop. Or as Jillian Michaels would say, "“Why choose to fail when success is an option?”

That is awesome!!! Way to go!

Look at you! You just went from 10 to 93 friends! That is how it is done! Reach out and people respond. MFP is a wonderful supportive community! Now get busy commenting on all your new friends' status. And I am sure they will return the favor!

Totally this! I couldn't be doing this journey on my own. Thanks you MFP peeps!

Welcome!! Never too late to start! Most people struggled with the first day. But I think that it is awesome that you kept going! The push ups are a killer! You will be sore tomorrow. I wasn't sure that I would be able to do Day 2 but it actually made my muscles feel better to stretch them and work out. So don't give up!!…

YES!! I gained one pound and was sooo bummed! I have been eating great but wondering if my calories are too low. I "felt" thinner and was shocked when I got on the scale. However, I am not giving up!! Something good has to come out of this!

done!! Everyone was right...it does get easier! If you haven't done it yet today and are afraid to start because you are sore...just do it! It actually felt good to work those sore muscles. Of course, it might be a whole different story come tomorrow morning! LOL

This is good to know! I am so sore that I didn't sleep well at all. I took some advil and I will wait a little while but I will do the shred today!! Hoping that the pain subsides soon!

Nice! I have a friend that rigged his treadmill up to be able to use his laptop on it while walking on the treadmill. I don't think I would go that far!

WE DID DO IT!!! We are awesome!! :)

That is awesome!

"The most amazing people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle and have found their way out of the depths... Keep working hard... Keep a positive attitude and a winning smile... You are worth all your hard work!" Don't know where I got this from but I love it!

I think I am a minority in that I love the butt kicks, jumping jacks and jump rope. I HATE the squats and push-ups! I feel like I am doing some of the exercises incorrectly. I'll have to look for some tutorials online to see proper techniques.

Great advice! Thanks!!

This breaks my heart! I am so sorry!

I'm sorry that you aren't getting the support from home that you were hoping to get. I remember when I was in high school and really trying to lose weight, my sister was the toughest one on me. She would tell me that it wouldn't matter because I would gain it all back anyways. And was always telling me how fat I was or…

bump thanks for posting!

Well, you already did get a lot of feedback on here but I thought I would chime in, too! :smile: As you know, it really is best to see a doctor. We can guess that it might be low blood pressure but really you could get light headed and see spots from low sugar or iron, too. There are so many things that could be causing…

Well, if you aren't even reaching 1200 calories now, if you change your calorie level, you totally won't be able to get to the new calorie goal. I think I would wait until you start needing more calorie intake because of the amount you are burning. My husband is training for a marathon and I am amazed at how much he has to…

I was a little nauseous, too. What is that all about. I think tomorrow I will do it before I drink my morning cup of coffee and see if that helps.

Just finished! Take that Anita! Are we really suppose to believe that you are a beginner! lol

You've come to the right place! There are so many supportive people here that are just waiting to help you! ;) You can do this!!
