I lost 10 pounds in one month thanks to "The 5 Factor Diet" book. The book is touted as the last weight loss book that you'll ever read and for me that's true. It's full of common sense tactics (eat 5 times a day, exercise 5 times a week, eat healthy protein and low-mid range glycemic carbs, etc.). It also does a great job of explaining WHY we need to do these things.

Congrats on the weight loss... Be careful with losing pounds quickly because they say if it comes off too quick, you may be prone to putting it back on...
But good work Soror, keep it up! 
Stay encouraged everyone!!!

Wow, I've been gone a minute ...
Just stopped by to let everybody know I made Lifetime (WW) on April 20. I am still in loss mode because I have a personal goal which I hope to reach prior to a sorority function in July.
The posts here have been awesome! Everyone keep up the good work!

My goal is three-fold.
(1) I'm trying to lose weight before the swearing-in ceremony in October. I KNOW that I am going to pass this bar exam and get sworn in in October and I want to look GOOD! I might just snag a man there! LOL!
(2) My birthday is also in October and possibly will be the same week or the week after the bar result come out. I'm going to try to take a trip to New York to celebrate.
(3) I am trying to reach my ultimate goal by December 31, 2008.
Right now, since I am pressed for time, I am doing Couch-to-5K on M/W/F and Turbo Jam on the other days. I try to squeeze in a little Pilates or yoga before I go to bed. It helps me sleep better.
I'm going to be SEXY by year's end, honey!

So am I! I'm running a 5K in July. I fell off last week and the week prior because of my vacation. But, tomorrow, it's back at it. I'm need to re-do the last day of Week 6.

I'm using the PODRUNNER: Intervals First Day to 5K podcasts by DJ Steveboy. The music is so-so, but it gets the job done. I like the way the BPM changes during the walk v. run and it has cues that let you know when to walk/run. It was crazy to keep track when I was listening to regular music and trying to keep the time by myself. I couldn't focus on running/walking, as I was always watching the time.
I am only on Week 2, but I am really enjoying it. I've tried it before and I don't think I've even made it this far. I have REALLY had to push myself. However, it's getting much easier to do. I'm trying to work on controlling my breathing and maintaining form since I am using the treadmill. Hopefully, once I regain my life in August, I can take my runs to the street or track. There is also a Gateway to 8K podcast once you get a handle on the 5K. I may try that one down the road. I need to get over THIS hump first.

Wow, you look great! You've definitely been a thinspiration for me.
I stopped work on the weight-loss life change July 07 and restarted on 2/15/08. It's 5/27/08 and even though the scale has only dropped down 15 lbs, I've lost a dress size. It's hard though, its a constant struggle.

BabyBlue 91,
I have to keep reading your story over and over again to tell myself not to become discouraged! I've been eating healthier, working out, but I see no results. That is ok! I know I have to work harder and it'll show at some point.
