Hi Kim,

Im Kim too or as my nephew calls me Kimie. LOL

This is my 4th week on phen and I WI tomorrow so far I've lost 6 pounds but I am finding that like shooty my appetite is changing and I can now stop eating when I'm full and I can tell in my clothes I've lost. I also take a B-12 (lipo-vite shot once a week) which is supposed to help melt the fat. Of course, I don't rely totally on that I am exercising (walking on the treadmill) for 30-40 minutes at least 5 or 6 times a week. I know in order to keep this weight off and lose it I have to get moving and eat right. When I first started I could barely do the treadmill for 10 minutes but start exercising for however long it helps.

Hi Kimie. Looks like you're doing a great job. Staying motivated to exercise has always been a challenge for me. You ladies are such an inspiration. I'm determined more than ever to reach my goals this time. Thanks for stopping by. Keep up the good work!

Girl I am the poster child for not having the motivation to start exercising! But I tell you what once I started I can't stop now lol! I feel so good when I have done it and when I haven't worked out I feel awful!! It is just getting started that is the hard part!!

You've got that right, Tiff! I'm excited because we've figured a way to add a gym membership into our budget. So soon, I'll be hitting the gym!

I couldn't believe it when I got on the scale this morning and was down to 223!

I am so excited! That's just more motivation to keep up this healthier lifestyle. I really believe that making myself eat breakfast and eating smaller meals throughout the day has really made a difference. I didn't exercise at all yesterday, but I'm definitely going to do my Cardio Party today, and I'm going to push for doing the Ab Jam video as well. My daughter told me that my waist looks smaller.

I'm closer to my first mini-goal:220lbs. I have 8 mini-goals of 10lbs ea. That helps me not to feel so overwhelmed or discouraged because I have so much weight to lose. Once I hit my 220lb goal, I will celebrate (I haven't decided how yet, but NOT WITH FOOD!), then go for my next goal of 210lbs, and so on, and so on... I hope everyone has a great day.

How exciting....That IS motavation all right!!! Good for you on changing things around to find out what works best for you!!

Mini goal are great!! I use mini goals on the eliptical machine...after the first 30 min...I break the next 30 min into 10 min in my head and just push through, and just when I think Im not gonna make it! I push harder!!

You are doing great!! Keep up the great work and Have a Happy and Healthy Easter weekend
