  • You are amazing and you look amazing, too. Your story is very inspiring. I was the same way about MFP at first, but I would not give up any of the friends I have made here. Having a support system of people dealing with the same things is one of the best tools we can have:smile:
  • You should be eating a net of 1200 calories this can be found on your homepage. This is basically your daily 1200 plus calories you earn back from exercising. When I started in January I was not eating all of my exercise calories back and while I did lose weight the first 2 months this way I hit a plateau and stopped…
  • Thank you for your post. My goal is to be fit and comfortable in a swimsuit for the summer so you really helped me remember why I am doing this. You are truly an inspiration you look AMAZING!
  • Truly inspirational. You look amazing!
  • Amazing, you look great! You are truly inspiring to those of us who are just starting out.
  • The Taste of Home diet cookbooks are the best! I have three of them and everyone in my family (including my picky kids) loves the recipes. Whenever I am looking for something to make I reach for these books and some of the recipes I already know by heart because they have become family favorites. You do not even know you…
  • I am not saying protein is not a good thing, it is. It is just that there are a lot of foods we eat every day that have good amounts of protein so I do not really look for a ton of it in bars. The 18% I get from luna bars is about 1/2 of what I need to be on target with a good amount for weight loss. In an article I read…

Before having kids I weighed about 105lbs, I do not want to be that small again. I would like to be toned and have some meat on my bones.
  • Sounds so easy and so YUMMY! Will definitely have to try this one out. Maybe even tonight as I can use frozen chicken.
  • I am not necessarily looking to overdo protein because I do not want to bulk up, but I do like to have it in my diet. For breakfast every morning I have Luna nutrition bar. The bars do not overdo the protein, but offer about 18% of my daily intake. They taste good, too. My favorite flavors are: chocolate dipped coconut,…
  • I am pretty sure that pilates works the outer and inner thighs. I love adding pilates to my workout routine about 3 times a week. It helps lengthen and tone your body.
  • I do not necessarily read health books, but I do subscribe to health/fitness magazines. Two of my favorites are Fitness and Health. They both have really good articles and recipes. Cooking Light is also another really good magazine that has lots of yummy recipes.
