    You look awesome!! Thank you for sharing. I have lost weight but have not reached the totally toned stage which I am working on now and you have just given me the motivation to work harder with my exercise. Thank you for sharing and I know what you mean, if it were not for this site I would never have gotten as far as I am now. You look great, congrats!!!

    Thank you all!! This is really such a wonderful community to inspire weight loss and healthy living! I'm happy that I've inspired you, because that is how I became inspired! Just think, it all started with my 2011 New Years Resolution and finding this app on my smart phone, so by this time next year you could have a great achievement story too!! Love you all!!

    OMG! Your scorpion pose is pretty damn AWESOME! How's your side crane and your (dare I say it) 8 angled pose? ;)

    Congrats on the goal. Well done, you look great!

    I am a member at www.yogaglo.com which is $18 a month (they have a 15 day trial membership for free), but SOO worth it! Hundreds of videos, great teachers, you can search by duration, teacher, style, purpose, and level!! They are wonderful. I also love Yogaworks Bodyslim class with Jesse Shein, it is awesome and helped me lose a lot of the weight!

    Also, the pose isn't that scary once you figure out the body mechanics of it, but that is what is so great about Yoga! It teaches you more than you've ever known about the inner strength your body and mind already have!
