You can add me!! Support and motivation from others are great! :)

Congrats to all of you!! Its such a feeling of accomplishment to lose the weight! It's like you've been doing something right!! Keep it up!

If I were you I would talk to your primary doctor. I just graduated nursing school and from what I know it is not good to just "stop" taking Zoloft. It is a drug that is usually tapered down til your eventually off the med. It will cause a few side effects when quit taking it whether abruptly or by tapering it.…

thanks for sharing! That is a great loss and props to you for quitting smoking as well! Keep it up!

DON'T give up!! Keep at it! I have been stuck in a rut the past few weeks. Advice I was given was to keep up with my measurements. If you are not loosing pounds you may be loosing inches. Good luck!

Thanks for the pizza crust recipe help ya'll! I bought flat out flat bread to use for crust but i really want the real "crust" taste/texture. I am def gonna try the master pizza dough recipe! I hope it turns out as yummy as it sounds!

I would love to find a pizza crust recipe!! The store bought dough has soo much calories and fat per one serving! Which would be only like one slice of pizza!

Thanks so much ya'll!

I just bought a copy of the ripped in 30. I tried jillian michael's at my friend's on her wii and with in the first 5 minutes I was sweating. I loved it so decided to buy a copy of the dvd and try it. What should i log this in for my exercise?

I'm 5'7 and i wanna be around 145-150. I think that's a healthy weight for my height. I just want to be the same size i was when I got married 4 years ago!

Welcome and good luck on your journey! I am in the same boat...need to make a lifestyle change.. and i need it to stick!! SO the only option is a "lifestyle" change!

Welcome! Good luck on your journey!

I have done this and good for you for throwing the rest away!

Thanks everyone! I'm new to the message boards and don't know how to reply to each post separately. I haven't done measurements but I think that would be a good idea, esp to see if i'm losing inches although maybe not pounds every week. I will try to consume more calories and see how that works. I am not trying to lose for…

Wow that is cheap! I guess i am not a good shopper! I can never leave the store with less than 100 bucks and usually lasts about 2 weeks for 2 people!

That's excellent! Great job! If you get the weight off its amazing at what your lab values drop to!

Welcome and good luck! I was in the same position..wasn't sticking to any plan and needed to do something about it. This is a great site and so easy to keep up with calories and exercise.

My opinion is to give the eliptical a try. If you have knee issues it's much better than a treadmill b/c on treadmills every time your feet hit the mat it's pounding your knee. The bike i think is good too. Try a heating pad to your knee a few times a day and if possible try aleve.

I listen to my pandora radio during my workouts. Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Black eyed peas, Pink and S&M are my favorite stations. They really have some good songs in the mix and amps up my workout!

I LOVE the eliptical! I use it 5x a week. You can change the resistance and do certain settings- like cardio and fat burner. I usually do the fat burner and am sweating in the first 5 minutes! It took me a week or so to get in the groove. I do about 1.20 miles in 30 minutes. GOOD LUCK! :)

Come to find out besides the salad (with no dressing) and some soups most things they have are 600 or more calories with 25…
