I stepped on the scale today and finally saw 159!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy, didn't think I would get this far! I have lost a total of 20 lbs, since June 15th! Buy anyways, where did everybody go?

Hey arctic- well I was riding the stationary bike for cardio and the balance ball for strenght  training, and I like doing that it was working for me. However I was starting to get bored with it. I still do the bike but not as much, I now use the firm video with the weights, and I really like that, I feel like I actually get a workout. I really want to go to the gym but I dont have the money for it, nor do I have a babysitter to watch the kids while I go. So I have to find other ways to get my exercise in. But now that school is starting I am going to start walking the kids to and from school, so on top of what I am doing, I will be getting a 4 mile walk in everyday.

Hey where is everybody at? I know I haven't been on in a while. I went threw a depression stage, I couldn't drop any weight. But this morning I stepped on the scale and I dropped 2 lbs! its not much but at least  I am out of my platue stage. I am now at 166!

Anyway I hope everyone is doing fine, Lets get the talking going again!

good job Leo!! I am hoping to see 158 by the end of august, Not sure if I'm gonna make it but I am gonna try my best. Glad see people going down in weight!

Good job momof2!! Enjoy your walk!

I know that with having all of my children my belly went back to normal everytime. Expect child number 4, But I am working on it and I know mine will go down just like it did before!

Momof2- Thank You!! I am doing the happy dance for you too!! Good job keep it up! Becareful tho cause you might burn yourself out. And you don't want to do that.

I wieghed in this morning at 170!! I am at a total of ten pounds lost in 6 weeks!! I hope I can keep this up!

sevekuh- That's just it. It shows that the courts already proved him quitly. It all went to court. I have to prove that it was never him that went to court. half of the court dates that past  he was out to sea last year. But I did catch a little break, I got ahold of the dealership of the car that was under his name. and they are goning to give me a certitifed letter stating that my husband never bought that car. So one task down, now I have to prove that he did not commit the charges with that vehicle. But anyway, I know what you mean with the motivation, I would go 2 weeks strong and someone would happen and I would quit. so now with all of this going on, I am trying really hard not to quit. So far I have slacked a little but I havent quit and I am not going to.

Hey all, Just checking in, wanted to let everyone know that I have lost another lb!! It makes a total of 9 lbs in 5 weeks!!

Now for a rant, this week has been hard, I having been working hard on clearing my husbands name and do not have time to work out. I do not know how I lost that pound, cause I only done my workout 3 times this week instead of 6. I hate dealing with dmv and trying to prove that the man they say comitted these crimes is not my husband. And he can't even help cause he is overseas. I am affraid that when he finally does come home, they will send him to jail. So next week I will be going to two different courts trying to get ammendments and then sitting at dmv trying to prove that he does not own certain cars. What a pain in the you know what!

Hello all, just wanted to rant a bit. And I know this is gonna sound selfish, but I can't help it. So ok, my sister had been overweight all her life, and so has my mom. Well my sister just went threw weight loss surgery, and my mom is about to do it too. I am very happy for them, I believe they are doing the right thing, cause they have the high blood pressure and the diabeties. However I guess I'm jelous cause I am used to being the skinny one. (before I put this weight on) so now I fear that they are gonna be smaller than me and I'm gonna be the big one. I know it sounds horrible but I feel like this weight is not gonna come off like I want it to. And of course I'm clasified as obese but still too small to have the surgery (not that I want it) I just hate that I have no choice but to take the weight off myself, where as they have to option of getting help with the surgery.

Hello arcticmonkey, welcome, i know you will do great!

Thank you for that incite. I think I got it. I have been eating only 1200 calories, and maitainig my deficit between 500 - 600. But there have been a couple of times i noticed my deficit in in the 1000's. Now I know i have to eat a bit more on the days I do more excercise than usual. I am proud to say since last week I have lost a pound and a half! I am now at 172. I have 49 Pounds to go!

I do know about gaining wieght quickly. 3 weeks before my husband deployed, we spent most our time at home and eating out. I gained 15 lbs in those 3 weeks. It sucked, and thats why I am so detreminded to take all this weight off for good! But yes as soon as I started the calorie count and exercising everyday, I can already feel the difference in my clothes. I mean it is only week 4, and i have lost a total of 7.5 lbs. So to me that is a big difference and I know I am on my way. With the help from you guys helping me to understand everything I need to know. Thank you guys so much!

Well the exercise is pretty good for me I am doing cardio and strenght training at least 6 days a week, the calorie counts hard i dont really understand it, like what does deficit mean, I thought we shouldnt have less than 1200 a day. and salt is a problem, everything that i eat thats low calorie is high in salt. so i get confused on how much salt i should be having. if you help that would be great.
