Congratulations! Enjoy your success!

I've decided to go my first step class in 3 years. I really hope I can at least finish the class. I haven't decided if I'm going to use a step or just do it without. It's still exercise without, right? Anyway, wish me luck!

My 282 and your 282 looked totally different. I wouldn't have put you over 260. Anyway, congrats and keep up the good work!

Way to go!!! I hope I'm halfway to goal at 3 months, but it's not looking like it will happen.

You could stop at the deli, and get some low sodium deli meat or a few pieces of rotisserie chicken. They usually have raw or fresh veggies for a side. I eat on the run a lot too. Drinking protein shakes has been a life saver.

Wow! 70 pounds in less than 4 months. We started out at the same weight, and I'm motivated by your success. What type of exercise do you do and how often? Thanks

I was wondering what is a realistic monthly goal for the first 6 months? I know we shouldn't compare ourselves to others, but I am a person who has to plan and analyze. In the past, working out 5 days a week on a 1500-1800 calorie diet, I would lose 10 pounds a month. Working out 5 days a week on 700-900 calorie diet, is a 15 pound loss a month realistic? I know it's slower if you're close to goal, but I'm nowhere close. Thanks for any answers.

Wow, you look great! You're wearing your good health very well.

That sounds good. I'll have to try that!

Is that your daughter? She's beautiful!

It's funny because I only told the people on my second job, and I only see them on Thurs, Fri, & Saturdays. Every week, they're like, "OMG, you're wasting away!" then they ask how much I've lost for the week, and it's usually like 2 or 3 pounds, they swear it's 10, and that I'm being modest. I think it shows a lot, even with small numbers.

Yeah, I'm approved for everything except lifting and ab work. It was so much fun! I used the step for about 90% of the class, then I got tired. I'm just coming off of a stall, and I wanted to shake things up a bit, everyone says that it helps. I'll have to see what I feel like tomorrow, because last time I overdid it and had to go back to walking.

Wow!!!! What an inspiration. Keep up the good work.

So far, I've tried it with pico and salsa. I like it with both. It's funny because out of all the diets I'v been on, I could never make myself eat it. I always had to substitute it, but now I eat it everyday.
