After watching many documentaries on netflix, I am repulsed by all fast food and a lot of food in the grocery stores. Its been about 4 months of me changing my life and I watch people pull into fast food places and I just want to scream at them to turn around. I also have to not let myself scream at people in the grocery…

- you have to want this or its not going to work - eat to live don't live to eat - trust what your body tells you not your mind - give it time, it will happen - sometimes it takes a few steps back before you go fwd again - you can only do this for yourself - learn the facts about fitness and food, know what you are putting…

You are such an inspiration! Congratulation on the hard work - it paid off!

When I start to lose motivation I think of my new body.

Thats exactly how I am with my stomach... pictures of me growing up.. I've always had a "pooch" there and after having a baby, its just a little bit more. But my legs are way too skinny and I have no butt at all !! smh

I am going through that right now with jeans. My 'fat' jeans are to big in the butt and legs but still fit in the stomach, my 'in between' jeans are a little TOO tight in the stomach but fit great everywhere else... I hope to be comfortable in those sometime soon.. didn't really have a set time frame, but I also have…

I ddon't know if anyone has suggested this but why don't you try working out one day a week or doing an activity you like. And limiting one thing from your diet. .. like eliminating diet soda or white bread or no more fast food. Eventually bump it up. Don't expect much and go really slow.

I try to wear clean work out clothes at least and make my hair look decent but I don't have any cute workout gear. I never really thought about it. And when I am at the gym I'm always just so happy to see lots of people there, thinking everyone in that place is trying their best to be healthy. I always want to scream GREAT…

never count my calories!

Mine is that I was in a 13 ( Old Navy jeans) - now I am in a 10 but I have about 15 pairs of jeans that are 7's (before baby) ... I'm so happy to be out of the 13's but I only have 1 pair of 10s and waiting for the 7's i'm stuck in-between!

i hate it! but i make myself eat it because i'm on the 17DD... I know a lot of people add fruit or spices to it...

Check out Pinterest! Great ideas!

Hi : ) I am on the 17DD - I am on Cycle 1 Day 11 and have lost 8lbs ! The first 5 days were very tough as I had a bad case of sugar/carb withdrawal but I read that it can take up to 10 days so I told myself I can give it 10 day and I have and I feel amazing. You are not starving yourself in the least !! I am doing this…

I like the last one best! You look great! : )

This is great! I have such a hard time sticking to things long term. I just get bored and the usual not fast enough results. I try to do day by day and it seems to help but this time around I am struggling so bad. My name is Heather, I am a stay at home mom to a 2 and a half year old. I was 125 on my wedding day in 2008…

Right now I am 152 .. if I can stay in the 140's or below i will be ecstatic !

Hi ! First off I want to say you are doing an awesome job keeping yourself going even though the scale is trying to steer you away! I know its hard!! I started Oct. 13th and I lost 5lbs the first week then I lost 1 more.. I took a picture of myself in these tight jeans that I could hardly button. I just took it with my…

I don't know why it would matter what you do.. you are still burning lots of calories in between the short time you are switching machines.. but I start mine as soon as I start working out and pause it because I have a 2 year old and I often have to run to her and help with something for up to 5 min then its back to…

You will never know unless you use a HRM - I also have the FT40 Polar - Best $ I spent for working out.. Its usually less than what the average on here tells you so... it helps a lot so you don't overeat.

The pants falling down thing has happened to me! LOL .. I was in the garage while we were having a party and I ran to the kitchen to get something and as I ran .. my pants fell right down. Its bittersweet because none of my other jeans fit yet so I have to keep wearing the baggy ones until I lose a bit more inches in the…

Can't wait to be where you are right now! LOVE IT! Do you do any cardio? If so.. what do you do?

I looked at the last week and you are not meeting your goals. Also.. are you working out ? Are you eating back your exercise calories .. or close to it? I've been doing zig zagging for 2 weeks now and lost 3lbs after a 5 week plateau. Eating more really helps! But you gotta eat all of what you are planned for that day ...…

Those 2 days are nothing compared to the rest of your life/journey !!! Start fresh and do even better! I screwed up the whole weekend of Thanksgiving.. but Monday morning I just pushed harder than I ever have and saw a 2lb loss! : ) you can do it!

I know you said you don't want VS or to spend that amount but seriously.. I have been a 36DD since 7th grade and I have bought the Target, Kohls, Kmart, Walmart bras and NOTHING comes close to the VS bras ( for me, personally ) ... since I started working out more I bought the VS Fitness X ( i think thats what they are…

I use pinterest for most of my motivation! if you have an account you can look me up! I have tons of motivational words and quotes : ) when i feel down and out i run there and read through some of them.. or i just get my butt up and make myself workout. i always feel better afterwards!

WHAT!?!? OH NO!!!! I had no idea : ( I will really miss it too, damn!

Maybe now that you have been trying something different - go back to what you were doing in the beginning - trick your body again. Also.. have you tried zig zagging your calories. It sounds nuts when you read about it but it does work!

I wish I knew. Sometimes I wonder if I should see a therapist to see the reasons behind my overeating/binging. But, I know I eat more when my husband is home all day and not at work and I eat more when there is junk laying around - I don't even think about it .. sometimes I look down and I just ate a chocolate bar - not…
