That was a great post! Congratulations on your success, both on the scale and off!

I don't respond to a lot of posts and "lurk" a lot but I was really touched by your story. I'm a nurse and I'm always amazed when MDs tell people things they can't do b/c the textbook says this or that. Everyone is so different and one person's story is not another person's at all and you have just proven that by defying…

You can do it! I have problems keeping motivation too but you've come so far, too far to turn back now. You look great!!

I'm finishing up my 2nd week this week but feel free to add me. It's a killer program so far but so great! I use a Polar HR monitor with the chest band & I'm burning around 300 cal with every workout.

That is an amazing story! Congratulations on your success story & I wish you continued success with keeping it off. So happy for you!

Today, 30 pounds lighter, one of my coworkers who, bless his heart, I suspect was raised in a closet and fed under the door due to his lack of social skills (or possibly raised by wild animals), sat down by my desk and leaned over and quietly asked me, "Have you lost weight, or are you just buying bigger clothes?" :noway:…

That's great! Keep it up!

Wow, you look great! We are the same height so it's nice to see what I might look like when I get down to a similar weight. Good job!

I can feel your frustration jumping off the page! I can't speak for you but for me, I know it can be frustrating to watch someone take an "easier" way out when you're busting your hump to do it the good old fashion way. But, it's truly not for us to ask. Everyone has their own journey to get to their version of healthy. It…

I started yesterday....I'll add you as a friend! I definitely would love to have someone to help motivate me & vice versa. :)

I ordered this & received it weeks ago and it's been sitting collecting dust in my living room. I plugged in the 1st DVD today just to see if I could do it. With the exception of having to modify everything & not being able to do the pivot lunges very well (afraid of twisting my knee), I got through it all! I was dripping…

So this weigh in this morning was not pretty at all & I knew it wouldn't be. I've been struggling for weeks to get back on track with my workouts and eating anyways but Tuesday of this week I came down with some little bug that I'm still not completely over. I haven't tracked my food in days, I've eaten absolutely horrible…

My brother is a recovering addict, my biological father is an active alcoholic & several members of my mother's side of my family have addiction issues....I had no problem with the wording of the title of your post. Like you said, people struggle with addictions in all forms, be it alcohol, drugs or caffeine. Does an…

So the goals for the first week, is that mean to start this Fri, May 31st? Just want to make sure I'm on the same page! I've been at a standstill for the last month, playing with the same 2 lbs up & down up & down! So, this group will be just what I need to get myself back on track. Thanks for making it!

I just signed up! So, will we look for the forum under this message board?

I'm 33 and I'd date from ages 28-41

No, the man should not be the only one to pursue! I don't always approach someone I'm interested in but I have before. Like several people responded, no sense in letting someone "get away" without saying something. They may be interested in you but don't know how to approach you.
