Stay strong deegirl_06!  I went to the gym today & picked up the new schedules....I will have to get into a good routine. 

I've been doing some MAJOR retail therapy lately, I'm on the right path though as far as making healthy decisions.  I ordered 20 lbs of fruit from a fundraiser & it's being delivered on Thurs.  If 20 lbs of fruit in my face doesn't make me eat healthier, then Lord help me I don't know what will!

Best of Luck everyone & Happy Holidays!

me too y'all.  i have slipped into a downward spiral of being busy and tired and emotionally eating.  i'm starting another juice fast to get back on track and for spiritual renewal on nov. 15.  i would start sooner but i need to get paid so i can buy all of my stuff.  best of luck everyone :-)

Awesome.  That's what it's ALL about!  Way to go.

I want to practice Holistic medicine.  I used to have eczema really bad & I bought a juicer off of someone for $30 and it completely changed my life.  That was in Oct. of last year and ever since I've been juicing fruits and veggies I haven't had one more serious bout of eczema.  So, I'd like to dabble in alternative medicine and maybe get a grant so I can open a clinic in Nashville for those that can't afford the treatments.  Western medicine thinks that medicine or surgery solves everything but many times the side effects cause are just as irritating as the original problem.  I would like to see more options available for everyone, even those that don't have a lot of money.

hey errrrbody!  hope ya'll had a great weekend.  mine kind of sucked a lil bit, we're having a self inflicted gas crisis here in nashville.  i live downtown and work downtown so i REALLY felt the crunch since the metropolitan areas have been completely out.  we're going into like our 12th day or something & it's a nightmare, my car has been sitting at my job for 3 days now & my bf is having to play taxi, it's stressful not knowing when you can get it & the police are directing the traffic when the tankers come in bc some of the lines are up to a mile long....anyway i'll get off my rant & back on topic : )  how's the weight loss coming?

aww, i'm SO sorry about your kitty : (        try & do your best to stay focused on your goal.  we've got about 3 months til Christmas!!  

hey alley welcome.  my boyfriend's birthday was tuesday also, he turned 30!  your goal is definitely possible but it's going to be tough to meet it within a year.  120 lbs in a year would mean losing a lil over 2 lbs every single week for the entire year.  this is possible but tough because some weeks you'll probably hit a plateau but then other weeks it seems to fly off and kind of finds a way to balance out.  every time someone is knew on here i just try to reinforce how important it is to hydrate yourself.  somewhere on the old posts i put up a link to a daily water calculator based on weight and activity.  i was surprised to learn someone around our weight would need at least 3 liters a day for your body to work properly.  that's a lot!  so the less you drink the more your body refuses to let go of the fluids in your body and you get really puffy and it can pack on the pounds big time. 

best of luck to everyone.

hey ake2k, welcome aboard.  congrats on what you've lost so far.  everyone just pretty much does there own program on this forum and we all support each other through the ups and downs.  it's summer so the postings have been a little less lately but i'm sure everyone is still on track and just busier....right guys! :-)

wow that's great!  i looked into the couch to 5k program once, i didn't follow up on it, obviously!  i hope you like the program and do well.  remind us what your mini rewards are, i liked the system you had. 

I know it's summertime and we're all preoccupied with our busy lives?  i promised i would try and help motivate everyone and i'm trying my best....is anyone out there still reading! Haha if so, please save this thread and post about your experiences, good or bad!
