  • I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!! I have been with my husband now for 7 years and have gained 60 lbs in the past 7 years. Before I met him, I was super tiny (probably a little too skinny) and now I am 0.1 away from "obese" on the BMI scale. He loves bar food and chicken wings and so do I. Instead of eating a small, healthy meal and then…
  • I'm so proud of you Lex!!! You have done so amazing and you are the biggest inspiration to me!!! Love ya chickie!!! :blushing:
  • Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Weight loss tea's work as a "detox" sometimes and are only okay to use for a few days. Drinking unsweet tea or unsweet green tea or herbal tea is the way to go. You get the benefits of drinking water (which is good for everything) plus the added antioxidants in the tea. Plus, it tastes delish so you drink more and wont be…
  • You are only supposed to drink 1-2 oz. of aloe vera a day. Don't go over that as you can get sick and will be in the bathroom all day! In the morning, I take 2 oz. and mix it with water and a splash of cranberry juice. You can't even taste the aloe vera. It will help me use the restroom and cleans you out but not in a…
  • This is such an inspiration! I am 5'11" and 29 years old. 7 years ago, when I met my husband, I was 149 and looked amazing! I started at 209 and I am now 205. I know I will look different now that I'm older and my body has changed but I really want to get down to 150! That's my ultimate goal! I just started about 2.5 weeks…
  • Hey! I am one week in as well... so far so good. I love MFP! At first the calorie counting was a bit hard but it is getting easier and I have already lost 4 lbs!!! WooHoo!
  • OMG! You look amazing!!!! Congrats! I know it was a lot of hard work and it definitly paid off!!!
  • Once a day. First thing in the morning.
  • Drinking at least 8 glasses of water is one of the main key's to weight loss. You need to drink the water to flush out the fat and the toxins in your body. Lot's of water = lots of weight loss. I hate water as well however I am forcing myself to drink it. I put lemon juice or lime juice in it. I might do a splash of no…
  • My friend is on it and swears by it however in order to lose weight on the program... you must work out.
  • I am right with y'all!! I am obsessed with makeup and actually made my love of makeup my profession. I am a working makeup artist and love every single second of it! No matter how you feel about your weight... makeup can make you feel beautiful and I love the way it can transform you and raise your confidence. My current…
  • I used to take HCG shots daily along with the500-800 calorie a day diet.... I lost a ton of weight but the second I stopped... I gained it all back plus 20 more! I think it was just too drastic and unrealistic! I am now on them again (the injectable one from trim nutrition) however I am counting calories on MFP (1210…

  • I have the 30 day shred - kettleball workout. I don't think I could lose 5lbs in one week from only that however it is a great workout! It's only 30 minutes and the next day I was super sore! It was a fun workout as well and was not boring at all! I think if you do these and count calories... you should see results!
  • Everytime you go to the ladies room, do 10 squats. I am drinking at least 10 glasses of water a day which makes me have to pee a lot.... think about it... everytime I go I do 10 squats... that's a lot of squats during the period of one day! I also bought a thighmaster (cheesey.. i know) at TJ Maxx and do it while I'm…
  • You look amazinng!!! Congrats! I know it wasn't easy and it took a lot of hard work and dedication!
  • Fantastic and very well spoken! I agree! We can not let the scale bring us down... we have to stay motivated and keep working at it and we WILL succeed! :smooched:
  • I love them both. Wii Fit is fun for something to get you moving but the major calorie burn is with the Wii Zumba! I love it!!! After you are done you will be out of breath and soaked in sweat! Plus it's fun and you don't realize you are working out!
  • If you don't eat enough calories, your body goes into a starvation mode and holds onto the weight. Try to eat the calories that they give you in the guideline (at least 1200). Also.. try to eat small meals every 2-3 hours and this will keep your metabolism up.
  • The trick is to try to stick with clear liquors and clear mixers (such as soda water or tonic). The clear liquors (not the fancy flavored ones) have very little sugar and are way less calories than the other drinks. I have switched from my fun girlie drinks to a Vodka Soda with a lemon and lime wedge. It's really good,…
  • Hey! Today is my first day. My ulimate goal is to lose 60lbs but I put myself on a goal of 40 lbs right now so I don't get discouraged. I just got married 2 months ago and I have been in a relationship for 7 years. In the past 7 years... I was comfortable, ate out A LOT and drank every weekend. I ended up gaining 59lbs and…
  • WOW!!!! you look amazing!!! Keep up the amazing work! :o)
