So we're doing kegels and not pooping. Got it. :D

I put olive oil in a nifty spray bottle for some things. It's so much easier to get just the right amount for roasting tasty veggies. Olive oil is real food and a healthy fat that fills you up nicely. ICBINB is frankenfood. Don't eat frankenfood. :)

Yep, what works for you. Add friends here for motivation. View food prep and motivational stuff on Pinterest and Instagram if that sort of thing works for your motivation. The stories about people reaching goal here are also great inspiration.

I can't see your food log, but saw one comment. Make sure everything you eat is real food. Bologna is not real food. Are you eating too many carbs? Too big of a meal at dinner? Night time snacking? etc. If anything, the Endo can get you to a proper dietitian that can get your food straight. Try the Paleo/Primal eating…

If you have an issue with controlling how much or what you eat, throw the junk food out and do not allow it back into the house until you are able to win the battle with overeating sugar and any frankenfoods containing it. (Watch the 'diet' soda junk too!) Moderation and all that nonsense set you up for failure in the…

Your transformation is amazing! I love that smile!

Check out @meowmeix on instagram for some visual 21 Day Fix meal prep motivation. Prepping stuff you cook yourself will chisel down the sodium numbers. My sodium intake was insane until I started making everything myself. It takes time and can't be done overnight, but it is possible and her stuff really motivates me :)

I drink water. My Camelbak water bottle is always at my side. Or, I drink Peppermint tea (helps when those around me are eating the whole freaking kitchen at night). I meal prep on Sunday and then plan out my entire day of meals and snacks the night before on MFP, this is really helping with keeping me on track and not…

Feel free to snoop. :D

This horse. Also, :D my broken foot getting healed fast would be nice as well.

I am a diabetic and had that problem for the past 40 years. What has changed is that I now make sure I eat enough fat/protein and do not go into carb overload. The wrong carbs will make me hangry between meals and that's just an ugly thing. Definitely up your water consumption and try to not drink your calories if you are.…

We all know what opinions are like. :blush:

5'4" 260 lbs Size 22 bottoms (bit loose in the waist now) XL or 1X tops depending on brand When I was at 316 pounds I was in size 28 jeans and that was pushing it.

21 day fix chocolate shakes. The dietitians are cool with the ingredients and it helps me get something in my tummy before 11am. I don't like pre-cooked eggs and stuff and cooking is the last thing I want to do when I wake up :)

40 pounds was my magic number with both pregnancies and PCOS. I changed my eating habits and my hair is finally improving after a decade of thinning.

Weird lump turned out to be my collar bone. I can feel both!

Yes, it is really annoying! (almost as annoying as the people telling those with medical conditions they are wrong!) Berries are my fruit of choice. Getting in exercise after meals is helpful for me when trying to get blood sugar numbers down. I've had T2 diabetes for 14 years and it gets worse with age. Insulin sucks, so…

Bragg's seasoning is good. As your taste buds and body get used to lower sodium, things that were once bland will start to taste just fine as is. I make a pressure cooker chicken soup that is just a whole organic chicken, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, black pepper and water. I take the meat off after it cooks and then…

Yep, like the previous poster said, it's surprising for it to be prescribed when you don't have diabetes or PCOS. It doesn't do much for weight loss and the nausea when starting it can be awful. Definitely get a 2nd opinion from a different doctor on this one. I tend to be a bit wary when doctors prescribe medications for…

Nothing after 6pm for me. Night snacking was an issue, especially with the carbs. I sleep so much better now and my digestive issues hardly bother me.

I'm here each day! Feel free to add me!

Salad in a jar. Paleo dressing and salmon not shown.

Yoga pants lie. Non stretchy jeans tell the truth! :)

Wow! Awesome job! Also, I love those shirts! :)

One day you will be showing a gym newbie how to do something correctly! Keep going!!!!

Raspberries!

I like the whole family picture, everyone has this glow of health :)

Definitely a success story! <3

You look amazing! Keep it up!

Both cars are paid off, no revolving credit card balance, we just have the mortgage and monthly bills that are paid. We're also able to put $$$ towards retirement and I am a stay at home mom. We might eat out once every two weeks. Otherwise, meals are cooked at home and are healthy. We don't eat a lot of processed foods. I…
