NSV- You look so skinny!
I've been told I look skinny muliple times today & that I look great...I couldn't be happier. I am 34lbs lighter than I was in MAY & about 9lbs away from my goal weight. I've been feeling better about the way I look & now other people are notcing too!

When will I stop feeling fat?
I have lost 33lbs as of Sunday & I have roughly 10-11lbs left to go to reach my goal weight. I am not necessarily focused on the numbers anymore, but how I look, feel, clothes fit. I went from 188.8 to 155.8 from May 2013 to Aug 2013. But when I look in the mirror or take progress pictures I still feel like I look fat. Not…

I WANT A SODA
I gave up soda in May & have just been drinking water & sparkling water. Pretty much nothing with caffeine (sp?). I had a diet A&W root beer the other day because, well, I was at A&W. But that was the ONLY soda I've had since May. I know having one soda isn't going to set back everything I've been done, but I have an…

NSV- My poor wedding ring...
2 Thanksgivings ago...I couldn't tell you my weight...I'd gained so much weight that I had to get my wedding ring cut off & couldn't have it resized until after the first of the year. I started losing weight on 5/7 & 30lbs later my poor wedding ring won't stay on my finger. It isn't actually falling off, but it's so loose…

Nervous about INSANITY...
I started Insanity Monday after losing 30lbs through running & making better/smarter food choice. I am worried that I should have waited until I lost the last 15lbs before I started so I could just work on toning. I am not going to stop Insanity after just one work out, but I am nervous I am not going to lose the weight. I…

NSV- Shopping
I am pretty excited this week. The scale hasn't been moving much, but I've gone dress shoppng the past few days & I am now a medium! It feels so good to try on clothes at Old Navy that are TOO big & having to get a smaller size instead of trying on the big sizes & being disgusted with how I look. :) :) :)
-
I don't want a thigh gap, but....
I am looking forward to my legs not rubbing together when I walk. I am hoping Insanity helps with this & when I go back to running!

30lbs down officially (with pics)
It might not be much & I'm no where near done yet, but this morning I am officially 30.8lbs down. Looking forward to losing the last 13ish lbs & working on toning & definition.

When will I understand??
I've been working on my weight loss since May & I'm just shy of a 30lb weight loss. I have done it all mostly through cardio & healthy (not clean) eating. I've taken pictures & weigh myself every day (used to be once a week). My end goal as of right now is 145 (started at 188.8) or whatever looks or feels good. I don't…

Almost lost 30lbs gone!
I weighed in the morning at 159.4. I am less than half a pound away from losing 30lbs!!! I still have about 15lbs to go, but I am so excited. After starting my journey to a "new me for good" at 188.8lbs I couldn't be happier & more proud of myself for not giving up & inspiring/motivating other people!

This may be the dumbest question ever, but...
Are the crystal light packets okay for you? I gave up soda in May & I drink water & Sparkling Ice. At least once or twice a day I add a packet of crystal light lemonade or peach tea to my water to give me some flavor.

NSV- Damn Pants
The weather here in IL has been gorgeous the past few days & as most of my work pants are TOO BIG I planned out my clothes last night & was going to wear one of my sundresses. I woke up to RAIN & my new pair of black pants were dirty & covered in cat hair. I woke up late & didn't have time to figure out a new outfit so I…

INSANITY??
I'm looking for something to change up my routine & get rid of the last 15lbs I have to go (for now, goals may change with how I look/feel). I REALLY don't like Jillian Michaels & I am kind of scared of P90X, even though I was planning to start it the second week of August. I just found a friend who can lend me INSANITY &…

P90X Results...Ladies Please
And guys if you'd like! I've lost 26lbs through cardio since May, but I've finally accepted that I need to start adding weights. I have the P90X program & am getting ready to start it. What kind of results did anyone see? I am currently at 162 & my goal is 145. I know that I will obviously be adding muscle, but is weight…

What's your secret? Is there a magic pill??
I love cardio & it's been my major reason for my weight loss (plus healthy eating). I'm a runner (slow & stready). I've lost about 27lbs from this. What are your favorite work outs, routines, videos, etc. that you feel have really worked for you. Let me know if they helped more with weight loss or muscle building. Thanks!

Emotional Eating..Need help ASAP
My best friend's mother passed away after a long battle with cancer. To be more specific, my friend is more like a sister to me & the long running line is that her mother is my "other mother". She was like a second mom to me & an amazing woman. I have yet to fully process this & right now all I want to do is eat. I am an…

Good carbs...bad carbs...protein???
I need some advice on my food choices (fair warning) if you look at my food diary the passed few days it is not a good indicator of what I normall eat (there has been a death in the family & cooking hasn't been much of an option). According to MFP my highest percentage of what I eat is CARBS & I'm not getting enough…

26 lbs gone. Over halfway there!
I started my journey to a new me on 5/7 at 188.8 & weighed in at 162.4 this morning. Only 18ish lbs to go! Can you tell a difference?

Muscle vs. Fat
DISCLAIMER- I have problems with OCD & am very stubborn, so I am looking for honest answers & help. I don't want to be told what I am doing is wrong, I'd just like to know how to improve. I am 18lbs away from my GOAL weight. I do want to tone & have muscle, but I ultimately want to weigh 145lbs. I'm so focused on that…

Crazy Cravings
I don't know what my problem is, but I have been having crazing cravings lately (no, not preggo). I just want my old comfort foods like chips & popcorn. Pretty much anything salty. I also gave up soda & I'm kind of craving a diet coke. I don't know what to do! I haven't had those kinds of things since May..

Being unrealistic? And kind of sad.
I weighed in today at 162.4 & I my ultimate goal is 145, so I have right around 17 more lbs to go. I am starting P90X in August & toning down my running. At this point, most people are saying I will probably go down to losing 1lb a week. Does that mean it's going to take me 17 more weeks to reach my goal?? My deadline was…

THE GREAT CALORIE DEBATE
I am 5'5' (and about a half). I weigh 162.4. I am a female. I am 28. I have lost 26 lbs & have about 19 to go. I run 5-6 days a week (2 miles one day, 4 miles 4 days, & 5 miles one day). I do one hour of yoga (class) one day a week. I do strength (?) training 3 day a week (lunges, squats, plank, push ups, arm workouts). I…

How do you reward yourself?
So I have recently hit my 25lb weight loss mark. At this point, I only have around 19lbs to go. From 188.8lbs to my goal weight of 145. I hit my first mini goal of 165 & my reward was new clothes, but it was more out of necessity than reward because nothing fit. I went a little overboard though & bought 5 new dresses in a…

Are you proud of YOU?
So I have to confess something...with my weight loss to date I think I've become a little conceited. I have lost about 24lbs (from 188 to 164) & actually have self confidence for the first time in a long time. I have worn summer dresses 3 days this week & LOVE getting compliments & am even guilty of fishing for them…

What else besides running/Walking??
As of this week I have lost 23lbs since May 7th pretty much through running alone & obviously healthy eating/lifestyle change. I have 20 more lbs to go & while I love running, I was just checking to see if there is anything else any suggests to do to BURN CALORIES & LOSE WEIGHT. I am 165 now & when I get to 150 I want to…

30 DAY SHRED??
I have 30 Day Shred & I haven't done it religiously because I always get discourgaed. I HATE jumping jacks, but the rest of it isn't too bad. Has anyone had any good results with it? I have lost 22 lbs in 2 months with running 6 days a week, 10 minute cardio vidoes a few days a week, yoga, & healthy eating. I only have 20…

Ouch- Leg Burn?
I ran 5 miles in my running shorts yesterday. At mile 4 I guess my shorts rode up & I have a wicked burn on my inner thigh. Two questions...is there something I can put on my legs before my run to prevent that & is there anything I can put on it now to make it stop hurting? My shorts aren't too small or anything, they just…
