That's alright pennie! Just keep up the good work, hey, have you measured? Sometimes taking measurements show a little more progress.

Hi Brookanna! Welcome, I completely understand your frustration, i worked out really, really, hard and ate right for like a month and the scale did nothing! But then i started poking around on some of these threads and found out a lot of interesting info. First and foremost go to this thread:…

I completely agree, you're not gettin enough fuel!...especially read the post about eating your exercise calories....i was at a stand still for over a month not losing/but not gaining and i was working my butt off! But then read that post and it was like "ding, ding, ding" the light went on, now i lost 2lbs last week! So…

Hello everyone!!! Check In: Sept. 22-28 I thought I'd do a little check in for our FIRST WEEK DOWN!!!! Congrats to everyone who tried hard and stuck with it!!!:flowerforyou: I didn't do the most steller job of sticking with the diet or the exercise last week, BUT I did do the best i could and i met my goal of exercising 3…

Thanks again for everyone joining...this is just great! Let's have a check in on Mon to see where we're at with food and exercise....if ya'll want to put a weight in that's cool too. I hope i've lost at least something! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

OMG! Finally I figured it out! Thank you so much Banks and to everyone else. I really could not get the eating exercise calories think forever, now it make perfect sense...and to anyone that doesn't really believe: I was working my rear end off exercising and eating around 1300 cal. per day and DID NOT lose any weight…

I do about the same, but a little different, and you will never even imagine that this would be yummy, but it totally is! 1 little vanilla yogurt container (6oz) .5 cup sliced fresh strawberries .5 (optional) tsp brown sugar .5-1 tsp (splash) balsamic vinegar In a sealable container, sprinkle brown sugar over strawberries,…

ok, so i don't understand the burned calorie thing:huh: , isn't it the point of losing weight to eat and burn calories, to lower your intake to lose the weight? So if I'm burning an 300 calories a day and eating 400 calories less a day, by the end of the week i'll lose a 1lb or so, right? But how does it help to burn the…

awesome everyone! I think we'll all do really great! I kinda already fell off the wagon. :sad: I know, I know, so soon. A friend came to stay with us and we went out and ate pizza. Darn those delicious pies! But today's a new day and I'm ready, don't think i'm going to the gym, but I'm going to work in the yard and give my…

Monica- First, take a deep breath...now let it out and concentrate on relaxing! That's it! I know right where you are, b/c I've been there on more than one occation...motivated, but not motivated to get it together. I just took 3 weeks off my diet/fitness routine b/c I was "too busy" with vacations, funerals, etc. I just…

Thanks you guys for replying!!! I'm so excited now. Ya, I'm going to see if my fiance wants to get the P90X DVDs and do those, i just don't like the gym very well, just because i don't think i'm doing the weight lifting right, so it feels like a waist of time, ya know. i already eat pretty good, but i'm using the…

So I started on this site about a month ago, then a whole bunch of stuff came up and I kinda stopped. I've been trying to lose weight all summer, I started at 160 (in May) and am now at 152! I just can't seem to make it past that 150 mark. Which is what really got me down and why I stopped everything. I want to get down to…

I just heard about the P90X thing and then saw an infommercial about it. It looked interesting but i needed more info....so thanks to yall's posts i know a lot more about it. I really want to try it. I was nervous about the pullup bar...i don't have one either, but think the resistance bands are a good idea...don't have…

"But then comes Friday night (dinner at a friend's house), and Saturday (beer and crabs with family) and all the excuses I'll make for overindulging. " I am the SAME way! Especially this weekend...trip to Aspen to see my dad, and I know we're going to drink A LOT :drinker: But I love the pedicure idea! Maybe that will help…

OMG! I about peed my pants...that site is awesome!

Hey all- I know I'm like really, really late, but I did have a goal to get down by Labor Day. I was on another site that I didn't like as much, so I heard about this one and love it so far (the 20 min. i've been a member:love: ) Then I saw your posts and thought I'd jump in, if it's ok. Current: 151 LD Goal: 148 LBS per…

Hi everyone! Just started like five minutes ago...really ready to lose this extra weight. I'm so excited to see all the chatter and support! Well, keep up the good work y'all! :flowerforyou:
