Gotta try some of these! Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes life gets in the way of eating healthy or what you prepare. I have a family, I work 40 hours a week, I have a house to clean, I go to the gym 5 - 6 days a week so preparing my own food is a little difficult even with planning meals. I eat fast food on occasion. My hats off to those who eat what they've prepared…

That final 8.8 pounds will put me at my goal!! I can do it!

I wear a hat, it's the best way to keep sweat out of my face because I sweat, I am usually dripping by the time I leave. I am not there to look good, I could care less about how people think I look. Sorry! For me, the gym is not a social place, I got to work out and working out means sweating. It's working for me!

NEVER give up!! There WILL be ups and downs. It happens, realize it and more on.

I do not and I use a HRM. I burn more calories running and I just discovered that I can run or jog as I call it. I've been doing it for a couple of months and I love it. I improve (or get faster) every week. I am wanting to run a 5K in May.

I disagree also. I don't believe skipping any meal is a good idea. It's not healthy!

Moderation, moderation, moderation! BOTTOM LINE IS CALORIES! I always look at the website and decide for myself what I want eat . I do eat there ..........gasp :). Not often but I do!

Thanks for the all the advice. I will definitely look into it.

I have to Polar FT4 and I love it. I got it at Amazon for around $60.00. It has helped to keep up with the actual calories burned.

Zumba is by far my favorite class! I love it. I've done just about all of them except for spin. I also enjoy kick boxing. Just try one and see what you enjoy the most. My advise is to try it more than once because sometimes it get overwhelming for a new person especially if you have trouble following the steps or moves,…

First and foremost you have done an awesome job!! YOU have every right to be proud of yourself!! BE PROUD!!! This is a journey. It's about changing your lifestyle and for me it''s about being healthy! YOU can do this! So you have a bit of a hard time. DO NOT GIVE UP!! We all go through rough times. We all go over calories.…

WOW!! Lots of military here! That's encouraging. I'm a military spouse. My husband is full time National Guard (AGR). He has 22 years in, we've been married for 18 and have 2 boys.

I had Strep Throat a few weeks ago and did not work out for a whole week. I did go to the dr and get meds for it. But if I am really sick then I do not work out. Your body is already in enough stress trying to fight off the sickness.

Thanks for all the responses. The HRM is programmed correctly with all of my info. So I am going with it! I want to be accurate.

My September goal is 5 pounds!

That is the spirit!! :happy:

Elliptical is my favorite! But I've started jogging, a little and I do Zumba 2X's a week! Right at this moment I am on Day 11 of the 30 Day Shred because I wanted to do a little more toning.:laugh:

Sorry but I disagree. I am 5' 7" tall and in HS I weighed a whopping 118 lbs. I was thin as a rail (they called me bean poll) and no I do NOT want to be that weight again!

I am on L1D10 of 30 Shred,starting L2 in the morning and I do Zumba on Mondays and Fridays. Those are the days the gym offers the class. I LoVe Zumba! It s so much fun.

I am still at it. I will start level 2 tomorrow. I peeked at it on Sat. There may be a few moves that I won't be able to do. We will see! But after 10 days of Level 1, I can say the soreness did go away and the workouts have gotten somewhat eaiser. I am not as winded!! BUT I still get the feeling that I've accomplished…

AR Razorback fan, Rangers, and I like the Cowboys and the Saints!!!

Goodness....I feel so old!!! But I am now educated a bit more! Thanks. What I like is what I've got!! Sweet Honest Hard Working Dependable Smart As far as looks........ green eyes dimples brilliant smile We've been married 18 years, he's not perfect but then neither am I :heart:

You guys ROCK!!!! And so inspiring!

:laugh: Some of these are tooo funny! But it just shows that there really is some bad advice out there!!!!

I have done the same thing. My journey began over 5 years ago. I am now down over 55 pounds! I have lost and gained the same 10 pounds several time or so it seems. And there are times when my weight is up that I want to just give up but then I remember my reasons for wanting to lose weight. I want to be healthy!! I really…

I limit my in take of Coke Zero to 1.5 cans a day. But I also drink tons of water. :happy:

lol..........I guess everything can really get smaller!!! Great JOB!!

I started it Sat and I am loving it!! I can FEEL it working! Yes, feel the burn. I have read so many great reviews that I thought I would see how it works for me!! Good Luck to everyone!
