My husband and I do boot camp too at the gym! It kicks butt!

I'm from Kosciusko MS! Its somewhat in north MS....haha

Great Job! 136 pounds! AWESOME!! Thanks for the inspiration!

You guys are even inspiring me! WOW 150 pounds! Thats great!

MMM looks good...LOL I would say it was about 500 to 600 calories.

I dont have the Wii fit but I do have a Wii. I looked up the calories burned on here to some of the games we have. The boxing burned the most. SO I started it up and by the time I was done playing I was sweating!!!...LOL Fun and burned calories too.

Oh I know how you feel! It is a great feeling. Other people dont realize how different a large person feels in a room with "skinny" people! You feel like everyone is looking at you and talking behind your back. I have even thought some people avoid me because they were afraid they would "catch" the fatness....LOL Anyway I…

Ive lost 124 pounds. Surprisingly I have only bought a few new clothes. I was sooo stretching out my other clothes that it took a while till they fit right...LOL but now I have started having to buy new ones. I think you should buy just a few. It is something that is well earned!

I saw Dr. Oz do a show about the "crazes" or fads. These shoes were one of them. He gave them a thumbs DOWN!

i have the biggest loser cardio max. I really like it! It WILL get your heart pumping!

Its sad to say but I have lost 120 pounds and cant tell a difference in my energy level. Sure there are things that I can do now that I couldnt before but as for having more energy....I'm still waiting on that one!

HAHAHA I have lost 117! I dont know where you got 75 from.

I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. I am going through the same thing right now. I dont know if I am at a plateau or if I am just gaining muscle. Tomorrow I am going to measure. Then wait a week or so and measure again to see if I am losing inches.

When you say "working out" does that include weights? If so it could be that you are just gaining muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. Keep a check on your measurements to see if you are losing inches.

I dont know if this will help or not but it worked for me.....CHEAT! Have a really good cheat day! The next day go right back to your "dieting" and exercise. Ive heard that it "shocks" your metabolism into the fat burning stage again. If you arent losing anything it couldnt hurt much. I did gain about 8 pounds on my cheat…

I would have said brown, pink, blue

Seafood is great unless its fried. See if the restaurants have a website with nutritional values on it before you go there. If not then ask for the values when you get there. Also if you like Applebees there are several things on their menu that are "low" in calories. When we eat out we usually go to Applebees! Yummy! Or…

If you have alot of weight to lose then you should NOT eat your exercise calories. Only eat your exercise calories if you dont have alot to lose. Your body will go into starvation mode and hold to the fat if you dont have alot to lose therefore you have to eat more calories to fuel the body instead of the body using the…

You could get your best approximation on here by looking through the database for something that is about the same as what you are looking for to see which one would be the best.

Well I'm from Mississippi. And we take short cuts in our words ALOT! Words like gonna. It mean going to. We also say fixin to which means the same thing as gonna....hahaha I could take forever in teaching the southern language but I just dont have that time to spare....LOL:tongue:

We will appreciate any donation you can make. You know its going to a great cause!

@ goal30Lori Thats awesome! Glad to hear she has been one of the lucky ones. I had a friend who died a few years ago from non hodgkins lymphoma. One of my friends who was his cousin will be joining me on this walk also. They have had a terrible time in their family with both of these diseases. Her grandmother and Uncle…

Sounds about as bad as the deep fried snickers!...Ive heard they are really good. But I dont think I would have the stomach to try it!

sounds good...printing it off now

BAAADD idea! I would always reward myself with cheat foods and then regreting it when I was done. Oh yea sure it tasted great. But all that I had worked for...the mind games I would play on myself and the exercising and all just went right out the window! If you want to cheat.....wait a little longer than for every 10…

Tonight I am having boiled shrimp salad. Onions, tomato, pickle and one boiled egg white, fat free cheese and fat free ranch dressing, broccoli and baby carrots...Oh man is it good!!

It really depends on your weight! If you are morbidly obese you can do without eating the exercise calories. But someone that is at or close to their goal weight might need to eat those calories back to avoid the body using the muscle for its energy.

HEY COOL! I also got under 300 this week! It DOES feel great!

I dont eat my exercise calories because I have alot of weight to lose. But when I get down to my ideal body weight I will probably have to start eating them. It makes sense if you look at it this way. When you dont have alot of fat ( what your body uses for energy) the body has to use other source for its energy. (muscle)…
