    Sorry about your son but I am sure he is watching you very proudly. Like others have inspired you, it is your turn now to motivate others. Congratulations and stay strong.

    Can't say it any better than this.

    You look AWESOME! Congrats! On another note, I'm sorry for your loss... I lost my best friend Dec 2011, it was very sudden and impacted my weight tremendously. I started my journey to a healthier lifestyle last Thursday, and I've lose 4 lbs already!! I do have a question tho because I have not been consuming many calories but have seen a small weight loss, what was the reasoning behind your personal trainer determining that your low caloric intake was the reason for no weight loss? Thanks for your time! && once again, congrats, you look goood!!!! Keep up the great work!

    Thanks Ma'am! I was lifting pretty heavy plus doing tons of cardio 5 days a week but was only taking in about 1000 calories...not on purpose I just wasn't hungry. He upped my calories to 1800. I struggled trying to force down 1800 calories for about 3 days but after that...my body craved this extra calories. I had to re-set my metabolism...eat within an hour of waking and every 3-4 hours after throughout the day. Sounds insane...but there's a method to the madness. It really does work! I'm sure you'll be successful! 4lbs already? Took me over a month to lose my first 4lbs. You're already a winner! Keep up the good work. You ROCK!

    Thanks! I'm consuming less than 500 calories a day and don't feel hungry ALL the time, lots of water helps with that I'm sure! Thanks for the advice, if I get to a stand-still in weight loss I'll definately try your method!!

    Do you mean 1500 or really only 500? That is a dangerously low calorie intake. I hope you seek a Dr. for proper nutritional guidance.
