Do not get down on yourself. You will find someone who loves you for YOU! Not for how you look. Unfortunately, appearance is what we are attracted to first. I'm lucky enough to have met a wonderful man when I was overweight. He's my husband now...he's loved me at EVERY size. He knows it is what's on the inside that counts.…

Currently, I'm in a 90 day challenge with the ladies at the Zumba studio. We are replacing two meals a day with Body By Vi shakes. For breakfast, I have two scoops of shake mix, two ice cubes, 12oz. of almond milk, one banana and four strawberries - blended together. Delicious!

I was very assertive with my co-workers when I started this weight-loss journey. I let them know under no circumstances was I going to drift away from the course I have planned. Employee meal is served daily at 10:45am in the kitchen. It's always junk. No veggies, no salads, nothing remotely even close to healthy. I'm very…

I can say from personal experience, during the times where I've plateaued, I change things up and start seeing results again. For instance, I added a core and toning class...as well as yoga...to my weekly routine. I also switched up what kind of proteins I'm eating. Both of these combined together seemed to make a…

I know how you feel! I'm trying to wear pants as long as I can before breaking down and buying new ones. It's hard. I feel like everything is falling off of me, but I need to save the money and not buy new clothes every month! I agree though, I'd go through the stress of clothing all over again to feel this good!

For me, so many things have changed! :) I am down 40 pounds, with 76 more pounds to lose....Here are some of the things I've noticed: I don't get out of breath running up the three flights of stairs to my condo anymore. I feel more confident when having sex with my husband (sorry if that's TMI!) ;) I feel pretty again. I…

I hear you! I went through that at the 30lb. mark as well. Also, I really struggled to lose the extra ten pounds to get me to a 40lb. loss. I finally hit that mark yesterday, it feels amazing...it has really given me the boost to keep going! Only 76 pounds left to go....;) Good luck on your journey!

Down 40 lbs., only 76 lbs. to go! :)

SW: 265 lbs. CW: 224.6 lbs. GW: 150 lbs. I've lost 40.3 pounds! :) Diet: Body By Vi program which consists of two meal replacement shakes per day, with a snack between each meal. You get to eat what you would like for dinner. I have also begun to learn portion control. I drink as much water as possible per day. Exercise:…

So usually around 7:30... :)

I eat breakfast after being up for 15 minutes!

I am self-conscious. I would rather be CONFIDENT!!! Working toward my goal every day! :)

Two words. STAY AWAY. Literally, stay physically away from wherever the food is located. I work at a Country Club and I don't dare step foot in the kitchen when they are serving employee meal. It's always pizza, wings, pasta, bread etc. etc. I wait until later in the day to eat lunch (when employee meal is put away!) and…

My husband and I eat dinner at 10:00 at night sometimes. Unfortunately, we have opposite schedules and insist on eating dinner together. It's very important to us to have dinner together. Sometimes we eat at 6:00...it just depends when he's done with work. He's a server at a restaurant by our house and he's also a pharmacy…

I'm terrified every time I step on the scale...fear of no weight loss, fear of letting myself down, fear of being disappointed. BUT, you have to keep calm and move on as they say. Just do your best. That's all you can do! Good luck to you on your journey! :)

I LOVE ZUMBA! I do it 3-4 times a week. It's the only fitness regime that I've been able to stick to. It's so fun!

My birthday is July 25 too - too funny! What a coincidence! For me, it took awhile to start seeing results...on the scale. However, I was losing inches and people were telling me "You look great!" It takes awhile to start seeing it on the scale, at least it did for me. You will also have periods of time where you "stall…

I was a smoker from age 12 to age 23. Pack a day - at least! Ugh. I too quit, and feel so much better for doing so! I'm now 28 and I haven't had a cigarette-slip-up in at least 4 years. :) I gained a little weight - it's true what they say, you gain it because you replace the habit. It was not an astronomical amount of…

I think it's great that you are giving up diet pop. It truly is bad for you, you're better off drinking regular if you can't curb the pop habit. Take it from me - it's not easy to give up pop! I was a three can a day pepsi drinker - it was awful! So much sugar! You kind of have to quit cold turkey. Once you get through the…

What oatmeal are you eating? The oatmeal I have every day for breakfast is FANTASTIC! I get the Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal. My favorite flavors are banana bread and the maple brown sugar one. They do NOT taste like cardboard. I don't put in any extras either; berries, sugar, honey. It's delicious the way it comes. Give…

I know myself. I can't have just one doughnut...or one bite of pie...or one piece of chocolate. I go overboard. I agree with you it's not the food that's the enemy. It's ourselves. I just stay away from all of it because I know I have no self-control. You can relate to any other addiction. A person who is trying to quit…

I would ask your personal trainer! He/she will know how many calories you are burning in each exercise. You can then total it and "create your own exercise."
