My calves, they have always been toned and good looking. but more and more I am falling in love with my stomach. Hopefully my love will spread to my butt next.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Bubble but is totally what i'm going for.

I totally see change. it's noticeable in the hips especially.

If you're going about this the right way, this is probably a good sign, that you're not losing lots of water and no fat, but the water is still there and helping you get you're body in prime condition to start burning the fat the healthy and forever way. Plus if you've started weight training it may take a while for you're…

LOVE THIS QUOTE. THIS IS WHAT HAS STOPPED ME FROM LOSING POUNDS IN THE PAST. It's about me not them. Fruit sugar is still sugar but it's at least a more complex carb.

I like the cheating but still have a limit. Because if I cheat I go all out and cheat until I can't possibly cheat anymore.

You have amazing eyes and I can see a difference for sure. You look more confident too.

Hey 70 lbs. in a year is awesome progress, and it sounds like you have some good transitions into healthy options and versions. Maybe this year just swap a few more or add some extra veggies. It really does sound like you are moving on the right track and seeing lots of success.

It's all about balance, plus I try to work in some cheat meals during the week but I usually try to stay close to my calorie allowance. Or I really really eat well before I cheat and workout after. Feeling guilty after eating could lead to disordered eating or a full fledged eating disorder.

I think that I'm over weight because when I tried to be healthy in the past, people I cared about made fun of me and what I was eating and I let them talk me into cheating and giving up. Also people would make comments like eating too much of a good thing is just as bad as eating bad stuff, even when they had no nutrition…

This kind of thinking is what has derailed my success in the past. Keep doing what your doing and it'll work.

I love fish, all fish, so I guess it's just a food for your taste buds. I could fish everyday if I wasn't afraid of mercury poisoning.

Buffalo wings with french fries and lays potato chips and french onion dip. I think it totaled like 5,000 calories in one meal.

Summon your strength. i'd be grateful later if i had the same choice to make.

I got workout pants because I think the better i look when i go to workout, the more likely I am to keep working out. Then I'm getting new jeans, then a new bikini

Diet soda makes me bloat just as bad as regular soda and it gives me a headache. I had to find other ways to get caffeine. But it's confusing because some people say it doesn't bother them at all and others agree with me. I think it depends on your stomach, mine is pretty freaking sensitive. i do believe that the less the…

I don't know if I eat really badly for a whole day then it throws off a lot of my progress. Water weight piles on and real pounds creep back on. So sometimes I allow a cheat meal or a dessert but for the most part I try to stick with my routine and eat the way I should. OVerall, I feel better and act better when I eat the…

My eyes. Which you can't see in my picture.

wow wow wow! You have done an amazing job and I hope to be as successful as you.

you need to get some definite goals written down so that you know exactly what you want to do and how you want to do it, and when you would like to complete them. Make sure that they are realistic and not crazy difficult, like losing a bunch of weight in like one month. but other than that keep logging your food and be…

That is so cool. I lied on mine too and my goal is to weigh what is says. SO COOL that I'm not alone.

Pink Lady apples are my absolutely fave kind of apple.

All Colors of Bell Peppers Cauliflower Earth Grains 100% Whole Wheat Bread Carrots Apples and Bananas (couldn't decide which one was more important or better)

Oh my gosh this is the most amazing thing that I have ever seen. you truly are inspirational and the strongest willed person on the planet.

I want to be thin, because I'm short and short people tend to carry extra weight badly. I have never been considered overweight, but I have never been the little short one, I've always been short and called athletic or muscular, which some people mean as chubby. I mostly just want to wear what I want to where and already…

I'll do it too. I'm going to the beach in july and want to be smoking.

As an aside - Do not focus on what your boyfriend does! As with any significant change, this is all on you! If you want it, do it! Worrying about what your boyfriend eats is a distraction. As for expense? For me, I reduced by at least 90% the amount of food I ate that was prepared or restaurant. This offset greatly the…

I finally got it in my head that I felt so much better when I was eating better and moving. I've been at it since the first of the year and i've lost almost 8 pounds and I eat lots of veggies and fruits and whole grains and I feel so much better inside and out. i mean I still have 16 pounds to go, but I wake up and feel…
