When I was heavier I thought if I could just reach that barely healthy BMI I would be happy. That was 25 pounds ago. I'm a 6 foot tall female so there is a large window for "healthy" weight. I keep moving my goal 5 more pounds, maybe 10 more. I just started 30 day shred last night. Hoping to tone up, i don't think the…

After reading all these posts it motivated me to try it myself. I can certainly feel the burn for sure. I started L1D1 last night. Going to do day 2 today after I get the kids off to school. Thank you all so much for the motivation! Feel free to add me too

I'm graduating with my BSN next week. Feel free to add me too. I've lost 40 pounds during nursing school because I didn't think it fair to ask my patients to eat well and exercise if I couldn't do the same. I log everything, even the bad days. As for working out, it's too hard for me after a 12, but doing some yoga in the…

I'm at day 75 but have been on here off and on for a few years. I'm finally getting the hang of being healthy now though

I'm a bridesmaid in October and I really want to tone up for those pictures. I am terrified of having flabby arms or that side boob stuff in a strapless dress. I have lost over 40 pounds, but am working on getting toned. Feel free to add me!

Thanks all! That is why I love this site.

My husband and I are doing this together, and we put a dollar away for every half hour each of us exercises. We also have a goal of going on a vacation just the two of us (no kids) as far as we can walk/run. We've gotten 86 miles in 6 weeks, we're working towards going to Mackinac island (230 miles) by May, and all the…

I'm 6' and 180, looking to lose another 20 pounds. I just love seeing posts where there are other tall ladies. I feel like such a freak sometimes, lol

I'm from Oakland County. :-)

I'm 6' also SW 205 CW 186 GW 155-160 Back in HS I was 135, but I never ate or took care of myself, so that is obviously not the goal, I just want to be healthy and good looking :-) I love that this thread is towards other tall people, so few are

For me, it was when I took my (then) 9 year old daughter to the doctor for a physical. The doctor reamed me for her being obese. I realized that I had been teaching her horrendous eating and fitness (or lack thereof) styles. I have always battled with my weight. I was just like her at her age. I always felt awful about it…

This makes me feel like a giant freak, lol female 6' SW 204 CW 175 GW 160 I want to be able to teach my kids that it feels so much better to be healthy! Plus look good of course :-) So hard to find other females this tall. Heck my 11 year old daughter is taller than a lot of these girls at 5'2 Feel free to add me

I have found that a big thing for my family is substitution. I have fallen in love with quakes rice cakes, the cheddar ones. Finding less calorie snacks have been huge for me. I'll never eat regular potato chips again if I can have 18 of those, which fill me up for 120 calories. Another big one is eating a salad and…

We do a salad, my daughter is picky, so she likes the dole southwest salad kit, I like to add cottage cheese to some lettuce and cucumbers. She also loves fruit, so we usually have that also, sliced strawberries, half an apple or orange. then we'll just have small portions of rice, pasta, stuffing, or potatoes. After…

Oh I love that I have it on my phone. I don't have an excuse for not logging anything. Plus if we go out, I look up things on the menu so I can make better choices

This is by far the best tool I have ever seen. The real key is just to post everything in your diary! It's amazing how many calories are in things that we wouldn't normally think about. I stopped and got a coffee from speedway the other day, came home and logged it, 440 calories! ouch. But as long as you log and keep it in…

I don't like the fruit thing, but I eat it in my spinach salad with bacon bits, cheese, and boiled egg

Thanks everyone :-)

What we've been doing with my ten year old daughter is making a salad to eat before dinner (she likes the dole southwest salad kit) then she eats her dinner, and if she still wants more, she has to have seconds on her fruit or veggie first. Needless to say, she doesn't eat seconds very often anymore cause she fills up on…

I had kix cereal for breakfast, special k bar for snack, lean pocket for lunch, and homemade stirfry for dinner with some southwest salad on the side with cake batter ice cream for desert, yum

My daughter is ten, and when i started she had a problem, but I've found some really great homemade recipes that she loves. Crockpot cheeseburgers (search in the recipe section) is one of our favorites, and turkey or chicken nuggets, anything made at home is so much better than packaged stuff you buy in the store. I've…
