Hi! I'm 40. I've lost some weight, but my love of vodka is making hard to drop the last 20ish. I'm trying to care...

+1

Wow, that sure looks like more than 8 lbs down! Fantastic! :)

My name is Julie (but you can call me Jules). Currently I'm doing Chalean Extreme with some kickboxing thrown in and I'm 10 weeks into the program. My Number One NSV (non-scale victory) Goal as a result of this program is that my work jeans that were too tight are now loose enough that I was having to pull them up all day…

I don't even go the gym, and I love this. Kind of makes me want to start going.

Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds videos would be great for her.

This whole thread is chock-full of win.

Hahaha! You go, booty girl! I'm hoping all those deadlifts and squats will give me some sort of booty eventually. *knock on wood*

I do believe we'd get along famously.

I just started week 3. Loving it so far! I just wish I could get my act together diet-wise. I HATE being a junk food junkie! :( I've never been to the BB site. I'm afraid of people shoving that Shakeology crap down my throat. lol

You're off to a great start! I'll never say that the whole process is "easy". But the longer you stick with it, the more it will become habitual and just a part of every day life. Like others have said, set mini-goals for yourself. Celebrate when you reach them! It's a marathon, not a sprint. And at the end is such a great…

I worked in radio for 10 years, met lots of celebs, and drank a **** ton of free beer. Now I prefer vodka and staying away from people.

I just had surgery myself 6 weeks ago. I didn't even worry about trying to lose. Your body needs calories for the healing process. (This was even on the paperwork they sent home with me from the hospital.) I changed my settings to maintenance and sedentary, and tried to stay within that ballpark. You've got the rest of…

Don't do anything to lose weight that you're not willing to do for the rest of your life.

For me, it isn't that I like getting up at the butt crack of dawn. (Up by 3:30 am, working out by 4.) I hate it, really. But in the evening, I have so many other things to do on top of being pooped from being at work all day, that I just KNOW I would always find an excuse to not work out. In the morning, there's no excuse…

I don't know why I'm just now seeing this, but....DAAAAAAAAAAAYUMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!! :wink:

This this this!!! I will not waste time with things I just don't like, no matter how healthy they are. If I want a donut, I'm gonna eat a donut. Period.

In for cupcakes!!

In for later...

Don't do anything to lose weight that you're not willing to do for the rest of your life.

I'm starting to get this A LOT now. I'm 5'6"ish and 164, so it's not like I'm even "skinny" yet. Still 14 lbs from goal. But I'm getting tons of comments that I don't need to lose any more weight, I'm getting skinny, whatever. I finally figured out that the vast majority of these comments are coming from people who have…

I fell off last weekend. It's been dragging me behind all week. lol! It happens, ya know? Accept it, work to climb back on, and keep at it. That's all you can do. Life will always throw pizza and chocolate your way. Personally, I don't want to say "no" to them forever.

In because EVERYBODY should be. You're a rockstar.

I read that as "married to a c0ck". I was ready to raise my hand.

Chocolate. Have you been drinking tonight?

I think most people do it for themselves first and foremost. Everyone knows that being fat is unhealthy and knows the benefits of exercise and healthy eating. *puts on flame suit* But I also think that most people who say they don't care what anyone else thinks about them are not being completely honest with themselves. I…

Eat them back. Understanding that if you don't use a HRM and you're relying on MFP's calorie burn calculations, MFP tends to overestimate.I generally eat back half of them.

Small, saggy pendulums of sadness.

Recognizing your weakness and having a plan to attack it...I see great things in your future! Sending you a request...
