New 40 lbs progress pic :)
I was getting discouraged for a while, because as I get closer to my goal weight, the lbs are getting harder to shed. But I found a picture of me from 2012 and it really amazed me how far I have come. You can see it in my profile pic. :) On the left it was Easter 2012 and I weighed about 181 lbs. Almost a year before I…

Stubborn muffin top problems...
My stomach has always been my biggest problem area. My actual waist is a lot smaller that it used to be, but I still feel as though my muffin top hasn't decreased much in size. I drink a lot of water, I don't drink diet soda (or any soda for that matter), I try to avoid salt whenever possible, and I usually eat fairly…

Its been a while, MFP (40 lbs progress pic)
Ahhh I haven't been on the site in so long! I went through a bad break up with my fiance a month before our wedding in August 2013. But I managed to maintain my weight for a while. Then in the fall I got back on track, but I wasn't journal-ing my food or working out as much as I should have. And then at the start of last…

Show me your progress pictures? :)
This is my before and during. I'm 5'5". On the left I weighed 181 lbs, on the right I weighed about 170. I can't wait to post my 20 lb progress picture! I'd love it if we could keep this board going to post our progress pics every couple of weeks. :flowerforyou:

This is going to make me sound so horrible, but...
I hate it when women are like, "I'm just curvy/thick/etc." :huh: No, you're obese. And then there are the ones that say things like, "Only real women have curves." How rude! :noway: /end of rant.

Almost there (progress pic)

I just stopped myself mid-binge...
Around a week before my TOM I am always feeling hungry and crave like crazy. I also end up having a binge or two that week... Tonight was almost one of those nights. But instead of distancing myself from the food I was eating to avoid feeling guilty, I really thought about it, and how this binge could really mess up what…

I looked so damn good today! >:D
Of course I'm not even halfway to my goal yet... But this is the very first day that I can remember feeling so proud of my body and how I looked! Definitely not going to start strutting my stuff in a bikini any time soon, but I still feel victorious. ;)

Jillian Michaels VS Shaun T?
In my opinion, I would vote for Shaun. I don't feel ready to try Insanity yet, but I did just try his Rockin' Body DVD and I had so much more fun than I have with Jillian's. He's so energetic, he glowed positivity lol. I got just as good of a burn and wasn't nearly as bored as I was with 30 Day Shred. What do you think?

Watch this if you have low self esteem...

Knee pain...
Towards the end of February/end of March (about a month into my weight loss journey) I hurt my knee. I'm not sure what the incident was that started it all, but as I was walking into my house after work one night, this knee pain was suddenly there. It was really really bad for about a week before it started to improve. Now…

For every 5 lbs I lose. . .
From now on I am going to reward myself with seasons of Doctor Who on DVD :heart: How do you like to reward yourself?

Has anyone tried Rockin' Body?
I was just watching the infomercial, and it looked pretty fun! Even though I've never been much for dancing, I do like disguising my cardio as something more fun, lol!

Should I feel guilty?
Every once in a while I skip a planned workout to catch up on sleep or school work. And it always feels like I'm failing when I do this. I'm sure it seems like a stupid little thing to worry about, but I can't help it, haha. I always seem to be beating myself over something. :explode:

If I was a dude...
I would want Bane's body. I mean, seriously.

Others doing the 30 Day Shred?
Yes, another 30 DS board... I started it today to "trick my body." ;) I was wondering if those of you that do it pair it with other workouts as well? I only burned 175 cals doing it and am considering going on the elliptical for another 20 minutes to burn some more off. But I'm also on my feet 8 hours a day, running around…

I would just like to pat myself on the back...
For working full time at Burger King and still managing to stay on track and lose weight... Even if I occasionally slip and splurge on our evil nuggets. ;) I also managed to fight my soda addiction (we get free soda all day, every day) and am now down to one diet can a day. Which, I know is still bad, but is SO MUCH better…
