AWESOME for you!! I started this journey to avoid medications and diabetes! Getting the thumbs up from the doctor is the BEST.

Beautiful smile!

Aw, that's SO sweet! You have done fabulous! Just look at you!

I'm in Indiana and I hear it pronounced both ways, but mostly "ant". People I know from the Northeast always say "ahnt". I pronounce it both ways now, usually depending on who I'm talking to! Oxford references either pronunciation as correct… it's a regional dialect thing. Sort of like when Americans say "Saint LouIS"…

Ditto!

You are so adorable (even before the weight loss)! You look so happy and amazing and have obviously worked hard and stayed dedicated to your goals! WTG!
-
Oh, yeah. A woman after my own heart!

We have two boxers, ages 3 and 4 that I absolutely adore! They are sisters, Josie and Lily, and are inseparable unless my husband and I are in different parts of the house, then the younger watches over me, while the older one watches over him. :) We do a lot of obedience training and they absolutely seem to know which…

Big congrats on your success so far! That in itself is simply amazing! I admire your obvious commitment, even in the face of such frustration. I've never been morbidly obese (and I am grateful for that), so maybe my thoughts won't work for you, but I think they are worth a shot… Food - You might want to add more nutrients…

Pick up a 25lb dumbell, then put it down. THAT's why you feel slimmer! It's that much weight your knees, hips, and back no longer have to support... maybe you're noticing that you're able to move with a little bit more ease? I know my joints are the first parts of my body to say "thank you!" :) AWESOME JOB!! Keep at it!

My Dogs EXACTLY. But I taught my dogs "down stay" and that NEVER worked on the cat… god rest her little furry soul.

What a great job! And great pics! You are such a lean size 8… I'm sort of caught between a large 6/small 8, but I'm still working on the lean part!!

I didn't miss McDonald's before! Wendy's maybe… Hardee's definitely, but no way to McD's! I just think it tastes nasty.

Welcome Carolyn! It's a great site. Fill out your profile with a little info (doesn't have to be too personal… just weight related goals and such) and I'll bet you'll have friends to support you in no time!

With the right attitude and perseverance you will be a success in no time! Welcome aboard! You should try to find some groups of young moms. I'm sure that would provide some great support for the busy-mom-of-a-young-child lifestyle! :flowerforyou:

U R Totally Awesome! :D

I use Silk unsweetened vanilla almond milk in my cereal at 35 cals/cup. Yummy! My husband drinks Silk Light soy milk, but I just can't get into it, myself.
-
Amazing results!!
-
I don't have Insanity, but am thinking I'd like to try it. I have done P90X three times. I found the LEAN routine going with the 12-15 reps at slightly less weight to be great for optimizing weight loss while still significantly improving my strength and endurance. The CLASSIC routine is less cardio intense, but works the…

It's a funny thing. There was a poster I read a while back that was upset because people DID comment! He took the "You look great!" as an insult that he'd looked terrible before. Sometimes there's just no winning. Your co-workers may be noticing, but may not feel it's "politically correct" to mention it. YOU can always…

I LOVE mini-goals and I've had many along the way! Sometimes just to get to the next 5lb mark, one was to look better by vacation time, my overall goal was to see serious positive changes at my annual doctor visitI I aced that doctor's visit, btw! LOL Right now, I'm stressing out at the job (my number one eating-badly…
-
LOL Still typing all at the same time! BTW ... like the other poster, I've done P90X and am now doing ChaLean Extreme. I tend to prefer them because the routines vary more day-to-day, but I would not necessarily say they are much more difficult. :) They will all kick your a** for sure!

In the 30DS DVD Jillian doesn't really specify, so I think that's what messed some people up. She just says do a level until you're ready to move on. And the intro is FOREVER long and you CAN"T skip it! After you'ved listened to it once, just pop the DVD in and then gather up your stuff until it gets to the point where you…
-
I have both 30DS and Ripped in 30. I see that many people do 30DS 30 days straight. I do NOT recommend that with ANY excercise program. FIRST, your body NEEDS rest. Assuming you are in "weight loss" mode, I would say exercise a 5-6 days a week... depends on what your body is telling you. Listen to it. :) You might want to…

My husband was a real bear the first couple of weeks after I got serious about changing my eating and exercising habits. He acted like it was a punishment for him! I told him if he would like to eat what I cooked, that was fine. If not, he was on his own. Basically, he was lazy enough to eat what I made most of the time……
-
You GO girl, and never look back!! :drinker:
-
Amazing success! Amazing story! Isn't it GREAT to feel that you have the strength, ability, and confidence to do all those physical things?!
-
Ditto with other posters. If he can't figure out and then tell someone that he loves them before two years…chances are he really doesn't. Sounds to me like you two have probably been "cruising" in a relationship that may be more habit than true relationship. I think it sounds like he's ready to move on and most likely you…

Personally, I'm not into the super-low carb thing, BUT to add to what is being said above, the fibers in fruits allows your body to more slowly digest and release the sugars in the fruits. That is why eating whole fruits is so much better for you than eating simple sugars (like candy and what not). Well, the slower release…

LOVE THIS! Yelling at you while riding his fat a** in a car! Geez...
