Realizing it is really me! ~ Progress pics~ 63/81lbs
So I have a image issue, I don't know what I really look like. I never thought I was as big as I was at 258 and I don't realize how I look today at 177. In my mind I look exactly the same at both weights. I am hoping that looking at these pics will help my jump the hurdle and realize that I have worked my butt off,…

Lost lean body mass?
I have a friend that sells Herbalife and she "scanned" me to see what my lean body mass was and percentage of body fat. I do NOT do that program, she was just seeing where I am. I have lost 63lbs in the last 14 months due to busting my butt working out and healthier food choices. Well she rescanned me and it said I lost…

Bad shoulder/arm, modify w/ lighter weight on that side?
I had my clavicle fractured during birth and it caused some nerve damage, so I do not have full range of motion, it looks silly with bicep curls and overhead raises and I can only go about half way to putting my palm facing up with and extended arm. Anyway. I have been doing Jillian's videos for a while and have been using…

Is it just an excuse?
I started my weight loss journey last year the end of March 2012. I walked 3 miles a day and did a workout video in the afternoon. I love 30ds! I managed to lose 58lbs in a year, start weight of 240 and current 182. I live in WI and the winters are cold so I had to join a local gym to aid in my exercise. I finally mustered…

Herbalife? Should I shoot for 100g of protein each day?
Just wondering if anyone uses this brand. I have lost 52lbs all on my own so far in 11 months and 70 overall, no gimics, just lower calorie and vigorous workouts, but I tried one of their smoothies and was shown some stuff, and I was thinking about maybe doing their fitness drink in the morning, it has I think 24g of…

Hit my 50lb mark and my 68lb mark :)
I have struggled with my weight my whole adult life, I am 28. 3 years ago I got to my heaviest weight of 258 right around Easter. I lost about 20 pounds that summer, and stayed at that weight for a year. From there I lost another 15. Then December 2011 I had surgery, got an infection and was in the hospital over Christmas.…
