Here's a timely one. A woman usually buy the gift that the receiver would like, while a man often buys a gift that he would like to receive! HAHA Jingle Bells and Merry Christmas!

I agree. When ill, the body needs rest. One or two days off the training schedule shouldn't make any difference. :) Get well soon.

Can't see your food diary, so IDK if you are already doing what I do. But, when I had problems with this, I lowered my carb intake and bumped up the protein. I will typically have a piece of low fat cheese right before bed, and it seems to be working for me pretty well.! I like Jorge Cruises Belly Fat Cure Fast Track diet…

There didn't seem to be all that much info on the site, but some of the before and after pics they have scrolling past on the video are not that impressive to me. Good luck to everyone tho. :)

Look at you! You look wonderful!

idk about Insanity, but I would check Youtube. They have a lot of stuff on there -- sometimes just 8 minutes at a time. I watched a lot of zumba videos on there. Good luck!

There's this one chick who walks at my gym. She looks like she weighs about 95 pounds dripping wet. Her hair and makeup is always PERFECT!! And, then I see why. She meets this guy there regularly and they just walk around the track and talk to each other. I don't mean to sound mean, but it makes her look a little slutty. I…

Thanks for sharing! Something different. :)

Back in my skinny days, this was always a problem for me. Fast forward to a systemic fungal infection when I had to go on an almost completely carb free diet, and also took Caprystatin and other yeast cleansers. After losing 45 pounds, for the first time in my life, I had a flat stomach. I recommend looking into yeast --…

You're beautiful! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your progress with us. :)

ditto. :)

you have a beautiful smile

That is awesome!! Congrats on the progress and enjoy it! :)

IDK about the accuracy of MFP counts, but there are a number of resources that can help you determine a rough estimate of your burn at various exercises. I would recommend (if you can't get a heart rate monitor at this time -- and please do as soon as you are able) checking several resources for a basic exercise and maybe…

I think she looks fantastic! Let's face it (no pun intended), if I had unlimited resources, I would do whatever I could to stay fit and healthy in my advancing years. More power to her!

I put away my scale and picked up a tape measure. Best decision I have made except daily eating and exercise. Go for it!

WAY TO GO!!! Thanks for sharing !! :)

I have made it a couple times. Just like cabbage slaw.

Jennifer Nicole Lee has a few books on home body building. I recommend these highly! I found some of her stuff on Bodybuilding.com. You should also check amazon.com to find titles and look for them in your library. I got two of her DVDs from my library in Missouri. Good luck!

ditto on the portions. My doctor told me to limit to 1600 calories a day for three months, then come back for blood work and suggestions if I didn't lose any weight. I admit, I was really hungry and dizzy for a few weeks. I was surprised that 1600 calories must have been way less than I was eating, and I really never ate…

Ditto! We are all on a journey side by side, but each person has to make their own choices if they want their success to stick. Best to be a great example and an encouragement along the way. IMHO :)

Thanks for sharing! Your arms look great in pic 2 and you have a lovely lady. :) Congrats!

We're women and cannot be objective about our own bodies. I think that's why we need support and solid documentation including before and after pics, measurements, and keeping track of weight loss. Congrats on the progress! :)

Smack stupid people. haha. jk...jk..

lol

I say stick with progress you can see. The scale can "weight". HAHA sorry couldn't resist! I got out my tape measure and it's WAY MORE my friend than my stupid scale! :) Great job!!! Only one month? Imagine a year from now! Go ahead, imagine it. It's good practice. ;) Kellie

Look at that! Never thought those words would sound so sweet. Congrats and keep moving forward! :)

A few years ago, I had an unexpected illness and was downright haggard-skinny. I found some info about thyroid and a simple fix for this -- well actually two. One, I used iodine therapy -- where I literally swabbed a little iodine onto the inside of my thigh (neck looks like you have a hicky, so don't do that) and also…

You're gorgeous! And you look amazing! Congrats and thanks for sharing. Ditto on the modeling comment. :)

YES! Girly T's please!
