Thanks, guys. I appreciate the responses. I am 5'5, 188lbs and definitely trying to lose weight. Maybe that's why she said that. It just seems counter productive. I don't want my body to think I'm starving and hold onto the fat I'm trying to lose. I asked her a few times....."so even though I would only be netting 1,000…

Wow! Great results!

You look amazing! Great results! I've been toying with the idea of doing this and just haven't found the courage yet. I'll be back to read this again and get some ideas on where to start. Thank you for sharing!

WOW!!! I don't know if I've EVER seen better results! That is amazing and you look fantastic!

You look smokin'! I can tell a difference in every pic, but look at that back!! Awesome!

This morning I scrambled 1 egg and 1 egg white, put it over 2 warm corn tortillas with 1/4 cup shredded cheese and 1/4 of an avocado with some hot sauce. Super yum and under 400 cals!

I LOVE Newman's Own Lite Balsamic. It has 45 calories for 2 tablespoons and only 2g of sugar.

Hot yoga is the only yoga I like. And I've tried LOTS of classes with different teachers to give it a fair shot. LOVE hot yoga! If it weren't so expensive I would keep doing it.

I did this yesterday, and then followed up with an hour of pilates. Awesome leg workout! Next time I'm doing it twice!

Going to try this! Thanks!

YUM! Thanks for sharing!

My great grandma used to tell me that her car wouldn't start until I had my seat belt on

If you think it will help keep you motivated, it would be totally worth it! And I agree with the person above, sometimes you don't notice since you see yourself everyday. Pictures are a better way to keep track of that, IMO.

Hot sauce! And lately, sauteed onions. I never really used to like onions but now I love them.

I've been doing Jillians Ripped in 30. It's similar to the 30 Day Shred, but I burn a bit more calories with this one. She can squeeze a great workout in 25-35 minutes!

Yes. Go to the home page and click on "goals". Then click "change goals", then choose "custom".....change what you want and save it at the bottom :)

My co-workers wanted to get breakfast burritos this morning, but I decided to make myself a healthy smoothie instead :)

Haha! That's awesome. Looks like so much fun!

You look amazing! Makes me want to get my butt in gear that much more! What a difference 5 months can make! Way to go :)

My favorite marinade is 1/2 teriyaki sauce and 1/2 light italian dressing (I always used wishbone). Let it sit overnight in that, and then cook it however you prefer. It's so good!

I can't get over how amazing you look!!! Congratulations on getting to where you are now. You are so inspiring!!

What an amazing story! You girls rock!! You both look INCREDIBLE!!

I haven't tried them yet, but someone here on the boards swore by Saucony running shoes

Bump I've been doing a shake every morning lately. 1 cup vanilla coconut milk, 1 scoop protein powder, and a cup of frozen berries blended together. It's pretty good, but I'm ready for a snack a couple hours later.

I gained about 30 pounds, lost 25, then gained it all back again. I'm working on losing it again, and KEEPING it off this time. When you start getting too comfortable about portions, and what you eat, and you start working out less.....that's when it will creep back on. I refuse to do all that work again, just to gain it…

I'm in! I got about 11 or 12 days through last time, and then fell off track. Back at level 1 tonight!

What an amazing story!! You look great and I love your positive attitude!

Olive oil is a good one too. I put it on salads with a little salt and pepper. It's a good replacement for a bottled dressing.

Try eating veggies and fruits and drinking tea in between meals

Happy Birthday! You look great! Love that dress. My NSV is that I've been staying on track with my calories and today will be day 5 of the 30 day shred :)
