I decided to go by my waist measurement rather then what was on the scale. I am currently a 32 in the waist and would be happy at a 30.

My suggestion would be since you wanna do 4 days a week. go to the gym the two days you get off at 2pm and the 2 days you have off work.

oh girl let me tell you. I'm not married but I sure hear it from family and friends. No one understands or people are jealous. Either he will jump in with you or you will be waving at him from the finsh line. Not to say diss your hubby but really he needs to join you wheather it is working out with you or just being…

you all are great! all requests accepted :-)

Heyyyyy my name is Felicia I will be graduating in December with a bachelor of science in psychology. I am currently applying for graduate school to become a physical therapist. My favorite thing about college........i'll come back for that one. lol. I started at 198 I would like to be 160 but At 176 I am very comfortable…

weave is just hair extensions.

way too much! lol

What exactly is dry shampoo?

The thing that I have been doing is on my workout days after exercising I put a head band on just to cover up most of my sweated out edges. Then flat iron it on my 2 days off from the gym. I dont want to flat iron it every day because I do not want to damage my hair. As long as I am not going on a hot date I think I can…

Yes! the crazy thing is it was a lot of men callin in adding their comments about the issue. i totally agree with everything you are saying

198 pounds in april 2011 176 pounds in july 2011

I love the replies, lets me know i am not the only one dealing with this issues and also its all women (not just black) that have issues with hair. your responses are helping a lot.

you are so brave! way to donate to the cancer society!

eat the calories!! your body could be going into starvation mode if you have too few net calories for the day, preventing you from losing weight.

I always say something is better then nothing! and you dont necessarily need a gym. you can use other day to run or walk outside. or find a park/benches and do some strength training. mix it up a bit

I love spin class! but let me tell you at first i hated it! i went more and more and my endurance built like crazy. I love the intensity and its a challenge everytime but once it is over, I feel great! i stay stick with it a couple more classes and you may like it!

40 pounds is HUGE! dont be so hard on yourself. you are doing great. and friends always tend to discourage without realizing they are. so keep on doing what you are doing.

I FREAKING LOVE SPIN CLASS!!!!! thats my all time favorite. And you burn over 500 calories!!!

thats awesome! Love randome compliments that just make your day :-) keep up the good work. (btw I do the same work!!!)

Unsalted nuts, peanut butter, olive oil

Thats so cool that you workout with your boyfriend! and can you tell me that NSV means?

Don't be discouraged! That is muscle you are gaining!!! I like to weigh myself about once a month because my weight goes so up and down. but trust me, you are still on the right track and progressing. keep it going!!! BE ENCOURAGED

you look soooo good!

Thank you all so much. I really cant believe the difference myself. everyone was telling me they could tell i lost weight but I didnt realize it was like this!

Thanks everyone! and thanks for reposting the pics...what do i do different next time?

oh no! i didnt do it right.

I was thinking the same about the fruit and other healthy food with sugar. I didn't have any added sugar or sweets and still went over like crazy. And when i workout i usually burm a bunch of calories so it adds on over 500 making it feel imposdible to eat that much more! Thanks for the feedback. I feel a bit better now.

Okay great. Thanks. I really felt likening was running out of options. Everything has sugar. Especially fruit.

I like tht suggestion as well. Cause I love me some desert!

Did just that. I now have only 200 to have but I may just let that slide for the day. Thanks for the suggestion it helped a bunch.
