Hey ladies, that's my modivation too. You want to make sure your health is in order before you can bring in another healthy life =) I also have my eldest sisters wedding next year in which I will be in it...but the main reason is to add to our family =)

welcome aboard and you will find a lot of support on here. Feel free to add me as a buddy...I will keep you on track =)

That is so great to hear that you had a safe arrival! We look forward to seeing pictures =)

You are doing the right thing. Since you have been through Financial Peace you know that you are heading in the right direction. Keep going -- get gazelle intense and put every penny towards the debt---cut out all unncessary spending (it will be all worth it in the future without the debt). I would suggest you talk to you…

Hi, I would suggest you try a more rounded approach to your food. The latest fad diet won't help you....you need to have balance between whole grain, fruits, veggies, healthy fats and NO PROCESSED FOODS! I know it's not easy to hear but It;s gonna take hard work and good habits to get the weight off permanently. I hope to…

I purchased it along with the last chance workout and it's awesome! Great for those less than motivated days or when you are in a time crunch....3 10 minute workouts throughout the day does the trick. =)

Hang in there....she is obviously more worried about her own job that she has to set you up to save herself. As long as you are doing what you are suppose to be and admitting (when or if) you are wrong there is nothing more you can do. Live by honesty and integrity and it will get you far in life....she is the one that…

Yep I'm with you girl. That is one of my biggest motivators. We are planning on adding to our family early next year but I want to lose this extra weight to make it an easier pregnancy for both myself and the child. Feel free to request me as a friend!

I just started the 30 days kickstart AND the last chance workouts....they definately get your working. Let me know how you like that dvd....i may ask for the remaining biggest loser dvds for mothers day. Feel free request me as a friend so we can keep each other pushing forward.

welcome you have definately found a gem of a site....so helpful and so many great people on here to help you get where you want to be. Feel free to send me a friend request so i can help ou get you to your goals :flowerforyou:

welcome back!

Military wife here also....welcome! I know the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere -- I grew up on a farm near a couple small towns so i know that feeling. Then moved to minot, ND!!! I hated yet loved it. I love it b/c i was only 3 hrs from family but hated it there b/c hubby was never home. But like the others say…

Good for you for having realistic goals set for yourself. You came to the right spot. There is a variety of people on here with various goals to keep you going. Feel free to add me as a friend and I will do what I can to help you get there. Congrats on the upcoming wedding and planning on starting a family....there is…

you have definately come to the right place to get the right support. Congrats on remaking the decision to change your life and we are here to make it permanent. Feel free to add me as a friend. =)

That's awesome. My hubby is very supportive and has also told me he is very proud of me for the things that I have done. He's more excited then I am about my 4 lbs! LOL. He's a great support and most days' I don't give him the proper appreciation for all he does to help me. THANKS BABE!

you are going to love the dvd -- it's fast pased so the time goes quick and there are NO BREAKS! So you may want to get your mind in that zone of pushing hard for the entire thing. It's well worth it! =) Good luck. You're good to go with the equipment you already have.

I want to thank you and everyone else in this posting for putting my mind the correct mindset. I wasn't the most excited to see just a .2 drop for all the work I have been doing but now I see how much progress I have done. It was as if you took the info straight from my head b/c all the progress you made was exactly what I…

My thoughts are that your body is going into starvation mode. The calorie reccomendation of 1200 is something that you NEED to hit esp if you are working out hard. Remember if you are under that and then burn off more during exercise your body is NOT getting the nutrients and such. I would suggest you really push to get to…

I don't have the pullup bar either so I just use the bands like they show (they show the alternative to the bar during the workout). I would suggest the bands- they are a good addition especially in a small appt...that is what I do since I live in a small appt. Good luck on the program and stay focused =)

Hello - I'm also a military spouse and understand your struggles in more then one area. You will find LOTS of support and LOTS of useful tools. Any questions you may have put it our there and you can get some really awesome advice.....=) Congrats on taking the first of MANY small steps in changing your life forever .

make sure you are drinking lots of water bc that helps flush out the toxins and fat that you burn off. I also agree you may want to decrease your extra "free" calories you consume -- wish you luck oh and weight gain happens to the best of us...just get back on track and take it one day at a time. =)

I would just be aware on those days that you are doing EXTREME workouts b/c you don't want to deprive your body of the essential nutrients it needs esp during muscle building days. If you deprive yourself your metabolism with slow or stop b/c there isn't enough for your body to replenish....HOWEVER most people rarely fall…

They suggest 1-2 lb weight loss per week so it is possible BUT you will need to adjust your schedule. You may need to get in an intense workout either before or after your jobs to increase your calorie deficit. The larger the deficit the quicker the weight will drop. You need both halves of the equation -- EXERCISE AND…

I'm sorry for your loss I also went through that myself a few years ago and it was a very emotional time. You need to let your body heal and your emotions too =) I'm here anytime you need to talk. I would suggest light walking, stretching, meditation. Although it may not get you weight loss right now it gives you the time…

HI everyone! I'm originally from Manitoba but currently live in New Jersey with my hubby of the past 10 years! Great to see there are fellow canadians on here....it's a great site--- The best that I've seen and IT"S FREE!!!!

You are one step closer to your goal so CELEBRATE! Congrats on this progress and keep up the awesome work =)

http://www.braydenwm.com/calburn.htm Check out this website it helps you better estimate your calorie burn as long as you have a heart rate monitor.....it works and no math to do except put in the numbers. Hope this helps.

I like p90 and p90x from beachbody....both great workouts. P90x is EXTREME!

That's awesome -- KEEP IT UP!

I actually did a search about that today and the main thing was it said liver/kidney problems but as someone else said it's for a long time. For what we are doing (resistance training, etc) we NEED the protein. I also agree that is the best areas to be over and I also seem to be over in that area. Low on the fat (still…
