    What do you eat on a typical day? Would love to know. Just a brief overview of breakfast lunch and dinner if you don't mind.

    This is my favorite success story because she basically achieved her goals with sure will and 10lb dumbbells.

    @genelizabeth you mentioned your husband was a type 2 diabetic? How has his new healthy lifestyle changed him? Is he still on meds?

    Sure! :smile:

    Example
    (I typically eat 5-6 meals a day. For snacks, I'll add something like granola or oatmeal with a protein shake or piece of cheese on a whole wheat tortilla.)

    Breakfast:
    Greek yogurt with chia and granola
    Half serving of protein shake

    Lunch:
    Turkey or peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread with chia and hemp seeds
    Piece of fruit

    Dinner:
    Grilled BBQ chicken breast with chia and hemp seeds
    Green beans or brocolli with olive oil

    @ECE1234 and @valeria3984 Thank you!

    Love it, thank you! And hi to you, omakase. :smile:

    My hubby is doing great. He is back on injections again now though but taking very little insulin.

    It had been up and down with him over the past year or so. He gets stuck in ruts at times too but with diabetes, that's never a good thing. I encourage him as much as I can but it really is up to him in the end. He's getting back on track with me though (the pregnancy threw us both off) but it's going to take time again.

    He's doing well and hanging in there, but fights the same battles we do. Thank you for asking!! :heart:

    Do you find the last 10 lbs or so incredibly sloooow to come off? I work out 4 times per week with a trainer. I work hard. My diet is pretty clean too I eat Btwn 1200- 1300 cals per day on average but the weightloss is so very slow for me! Since dec 15 When I began tracking calories my weight has hovered around the 144 mark I'm about 5'4". This morn it was 142.8 I know muscle has grown back etc. But still just waiting to look great in a bikini...Lol we booked a trip to Cuba for march 12 and that was my goal and motivation to get back in good shape. I feel in pretty good shape but I just need this fat to leave my abdomen!! Lol ...I'm 42 and have had 2 kids myself maybe it's metabolism I don't know but since you have already "been there" where u got your weight down where u wanted it to be I thought I'd ask. U r looking great btw and your stomach looks great!
