I did not know that was an actual brand Ha! Thanks!

Cheeky Brown seems to be a really popular brand from what I have seen too.

Thanks!!! I will look into these now.

Thanks TSith! I will look into JWoww (they would have good products haha) Purring- I am so pale and always wear sunscreen due to my tattoos but I do tan during the summer or when we are going on vacation. Thinking about this one, great reviews.…

Well, aren't you clever.

Thank you and yes I have! You just have to remember to take it one day at a time and if you mess up (which you will, we all do haha) that it's not the end of the world. Just pick yourself back up and keep going. :)

Thanks so much for all of the love everyone!! Looking forward to getting into a bikini for the first time in my adult life (next year!!)

Thank you everyone!!

Hi Karen!! It has been really grueling to do this... I meal plan everything I am going to eat a day or 2 in advance and workout 2x per day. Weights in the morning and then cardio at night (usually cardio consists on walking my dog around the neighborhood) I allow myself one cheat meal per week and I am careful not to…

WOW!!! This is all good stuff. I love a variety of different genres depending on my mood so these will definitely help.

This summed it up perfectly. I have lost 60lbs so far with no lose skin and I attribute it to high protein and lots of weights.

I guess I should have just posted a blanket Midwestern thread!! Yay for new nearby-ish friends!!

I will accept NWI haha

Bodies is my favorite song to squat to. Haha

Good point, I did not factor in those expenses into consideration of this.

Yay!! I will add you guys.. I work downtown and live in south loop.

I know :/ Whole Foods and Trader Joes, mostly. That is why I am curious haha

I miss having bangs

My little ones are 8 (holy crap I felt old typing that) and 4. I am active and log daily.

I am 24 and could you some more active members, always grateful for motivation and happy to give it too!

Can you get me out of this ticket I got last week? Haha Hi Everyone! My name is Mandy, I recently finished law school and left Los Angeles for Chicago. I have lost 60lbs so far but my goal is 100lbs more.

Looking for active freinds too!! :)

I have a few :)

AHAHAHAHAHAHA well I am glad you are here to help, since you know SO much about all of this.

Oh okay then you should probably tell all of these *HIGHLY* regarded websites that "shocking your body" isn't a thing. http://www.mensfitness.com/training/build-muscle/shock-your-body http://www.livestrong.com/article/353683-how-to-shock-your-metabolism-while-dieting/ http://www.acaloriecounter.com/results.php…

My husband (just got his pro-card) drinks Gaspari Real Mass to aid in gaining weight as his appetite is not always up to how much food he needs to consume. He was drinking ON's Serious Mass for awhile but caused excess bloat. Yes, food is better BUT if you are wanting to gain weight, sometimes you actually cannot get…

I knew there had to be more than just me!

Likewise!!

Try adjusting your macros as well.. Up the protein, cut the fat and carbs. I would also adjust your goal to higer lbs lost per week and see if that helps. You could also try switching up any workout schedule/routine you have to try to shock your body. :)

This made me laugh so hard.
