Wow. 43 lbs.
Wow, I never thought I would be someone to lose 43 lbs, I never thought I would be someone who would need to lose 43 lbs. I more belonged in the lose 5 lbs gain 5 lbs over and over and over club. However, during my pregnancy, I gained 70 lbs on my already 20 lb. overweight frame. It was really hard on my body and I naively…

Progress Pics - 21 lbs and 20 inches
I still want to lose more but I'm proud of how far I've come. Granted, it's taken me almost a year but slow and steady right? I think the biggest takeaway I have from this go at losing weight is I just don't give up. Yes I slip, yes I gain and take two step forwards followed by one step back, but I don't go into a full on…

Seriously, the scale sucks!
So I've been feeling pretty down because despite my best efforts, I really am not losing weight like I used to. I am changing from 2-3 lbs a week to less than 1. I've heard this will happen so I anticipated it, just didn't think it would come so soon! I'd been working out harder and eating better and was thinking the…

1DB Overdrive and 1DB Goddess
Has anyone heard of or tried either one of these? It's produced in St. Louis by a company called 1st Phorm. I only know of one person firsthand who has tried it and he loved it. But I want to know if anyone else has, particularly the Goddess one, for women. Thanks! :smile:

Running my first 5k -- have a couple questions
I am running my first 5k on November 18th. I have never ran 3.1 miles or at least haven't in a near enough past I can remember. I wasn't too concerned considering I can run a mile right now straight through (a little on the slow side, like 12 minutes) but I can still do it and I just ran 2.1 miles the other day and it…

To body wave, or not to body wave?
So one reward I'd like to do when I reach a certain weight is to do something different with my hair. I never died it (professionally anyway, had a few at home highlights like 2 years ago). I don't do anything with it, ever. I have stick straight, blond, thin, fine hair that is down to my mid-back. Has anyone ever gotten a…

My humps
I think a little bit of empathy can go a long way. I know I am not the only one out there like this but it would really help to hear it. I'm such a yo-yoer. I am on the diet and exercise kick, I lose weight, I get off the diet and exercise kick, I gain weight. The pathetic part is, the weight falls off really fast too but…

20-something still carrying around college weight?

I gained the Freshman 15 and then more and more and more until I reached a...ummm...I'll use the word unfortunate....50 lbs gain! So yea it was a mix of college and then getting my super non-active…

How?
How do you find the motivation to exercise? What the heck can I do?!?! I'm not a gym member nor do I want to be. I like to work out at home, I do enjoy working out when I actually get started but I can't get myself to. I have P90X and 30DS at home plus a nice private road to run on plus a more than willing running partner…

Food Inc.
Not telling anyone what to do but I strongly urge you all watch this documentary and then tell me what foods are really considered "healthy". Since watching this, my husband and I, started a small garden, bought chickens, bought and butchered our own pig (well he did), and only started buying our meat from our local meat…

Need Advice - PLEASE!
Can you please tell me what workout DVD(s) you have used and had good results from? There are just WAY to many out there to chose from I just can't decide! I've already wasted my money on a few. Not that I consider it a total waste but I have P90X but I think my issue is I cannot block off a whole hour of time every day to…

I have a question?!?
Has anyone out there done a "warrior dash"? My friend and I are thinking of signing up. I'm worried it will only be for super fit people and I'll look like the only person struggling to climb the obstacles. Any experience/advise available from anyone?

NSV - been waiting for this for a while
So, today, as I type this I'm wearing my size 12 jeans!! Been 14 (and touched on 16) for probably close to 3 years now! Every time I bought a new pair of 14s I would tell myself that was the last pair I'd buy, I would buy one pair and wear them out until they had holes everywhere then have to cave in and buy a new pair,…

30 days?
Hey all! Coming up on August 3rd (which is also my birthday) will be 30 days until my dress fitting. I really need something that will help me lose the most and be the most effective to lose some weight in that time frame. (without starving myself, I want to do this in a healthy way). Please any suggestions are…

What's an acceptable goal?
T-minus 7 weeks until I have my first fitting for my wedding dress (and they say you shouldn't gain or lose any after that). So looks like 7 weeks until I need to be wedding body ready!!! Ideally, I want to lose 30 more pounds but that's over 4 pounds a week. Is that completely unreasonable?

Another Office Birthday Party - HELP!
AHHH!!! Again we have another birthday party here at the office. This time there are already muffins, donuts, and sausage mcmuffins and burritos. OH GEEZ. Then everyone is going to lunch probably at the Mexican restaurant (where I love cheese covered deep fried goodness AKA chimichanga!) And let's not forget the cakes and…
