Inspiring to me, you look amazing. Sharing your pics is really great of you, I am too scared to take pics. I started at 214.5 and made it to 198.5 -- have been there for about a week or so, was steadily losing. Not sure why it slowed so fast. Anyway.. I think we have a similar body shape --- it inspires me to see how small…

I regret I didn't get more excercise either besides being on me feet for two days preparing and then cooking today. I was at my max calories today but I am usually lower. I am not letting it get to me, can't do anything about it now. I did pretty good about not having seconds but it was the extra bites off my son's plate…

Yum can I get the cauliflower potato recipe that sounds awesome. I made pumpkin pie and substituted half the sugar with Stevia. It came out perfect. Wasn't sure if I could do just the stevia.

I like that idea VT. I went online and found some 'new' to me dvd's... its a collection of them in a set. I have had such a hard time getting time to do my walking. Kids or someone is on the tv. I think I need to use my laptop and squint :) just hide out in another room.

I have the 4 Fast Miles DVD. I also have a 5 mile one but have loaned it to a friend... after she did it she thought it would be too hard for me (when I started I couldn't do a mile on the street with her ). I am going to have to ask for that one back to see how I do and looking into what others she has. Kelle Oklahoma

Hey Kel, well I was on track and excited to hit and exceed the 10 then life hit. I spent the weekend cleaning though so I think the calories burned were comparable... but being at home with LS would have been much better. Still hurting today in my right hamstrings. Might walk later if we are continuing the challenge....…

Great ideas on here. I too like a little honey. Or make smoothies with frozen fruit. I also love mixing it with granola for a great snack. I mix my protein soy meal replacement powder in it and mix that and Bob's Red Mill Meusli in it and let it sit 4 - 10 min like it says to then eat that... yum

That is awesome, you can't beat that. Congrats. I bet that felt so wonderful. :happy:

First time doing Leslie's DVD 4 mile Fit and Slim... AWESOME. I like how it starts with a slower easier beat, by the end you don't realize how fast you are going. I didn't know I could do that. When I hit 2 miles, I was thinking... oh my gosh, is that it, 2 miles, I am whupped, kicking my butt... mostly my legs. But I kept…

I'm not 19 (wish I were again :) ) but I did see one gal post tummy pics that she tightened up after 2 months of training. I hope it's like that for me as I have what you describe as well and am worried it will never go away. Hope you find answers K

I am planning to do her 4 mile DVD today with the resistance band.... waiting for my son to wake as he's in the living room napping... hmm maybe if I turn the sound down and just follow along? K

I missed yesterday, busy day and had a mom's night out. Will walk tonite and log how long I made it. Putting on my calendar so I can make the challenge of 10 mi for the week. Thanks for this post. Kelle

I like it , definitely seems doable. Will the miles just count from her DVD I presume, not from personal walking? When I bought her DVD I was sick the next day so I just watched it from the couch. Haven't put it back in but know i need too. This sounds like the perfect challenge to kick me in gear.... When do we start and…

I am glad this was clarified... I thought it meant no small victory ... lol (as in a victory but was a challenge to reach)

These are great, many I have also been saying lately. My kids are most bummed by --- when we try to think of somewhere to eat out if they want to go out -- nope, can't eat there, nothing healthy on the menu.... nope, they are off my list too much fat, or calories, or they don't have nutrition information so that tells me…

I have always been advised if you are concerned about bulking up, then to use lighter weights and more reps. Currently I am a wimp (and have a right arm injury)... so I use 5 lb weights. Bicep curls I will do15-20 reps until I feel a burn, then rest 30 seconds and repeat the set about 3x (that's a start for me anyway). I…

Love tofu. I make my own tofu scramble... I just buy extra firm, drain, press out the extra liquid between paper towels. Cut into small chunks and put it in a frying pan with a spritz of olive oil. Tofu will absorb the flavor of whatever you cook it in. For my breakfast scramble I use cumin, pepper, garlic and onion and…

Ooh, have the same problem... maybe we should start a group on FB if you have it so we can msg each other to stave off the demons. I am up late, usually till 1 am or so. I always used to be told don't eat after 8 pm or something like that. My husband gets home late,, after 9 pm so and he is a snacker. I used to always…

YAY i size 4!! You look so fit and healthy. I really like how toned your upper body is (not creeping I promise)... I am about 50 or so overweight and have the bat flap triceps sooo I am hoping I can get my arms to look cut like that, just wanted to compliment you. K

I have been offered treats lately and have turned them down politely acknowledging that I have to be careful what I eat... if they ask further I explain... so far everyone has been very gracious that I politely decline. I agree I think the coworker is over reacting. If this is someone you have to work with often and you…

I think you have to be careful if you are serious about your weight loss. For me, I know 500 cal a day = 1lb a week, so if I want to stay on track I have to watch my calories. If I have a cheat day and go over calories, then I defeat my purpose. Also, if I eat candy or sweets, then I end up binging or craving more, so I…

Thanks, glad someone said that. :) My dear southernsister, you are such an inspiration. From what I have been reading about regarding muscle is that we do swell as we work out, so some gain you see on the scale is that. It sounds to me you are doing the right things -- protein after a work out etc, eating your proper…

GREAT JOB DAVE... you look great man. I bet you feel so proud!! Kelle

For me I have a 52oz mug that I fill with lemon water. I take one lemon and one lime and squeeze it into a gallon jug of alkaline water into the frig. I try to drink at least 2 mugs a day. Personally if I drink 8 glasses or less I feel sluggish. I feel better the more I drink. Lemons are acidic but alkalize in the body.…

That is where I am at with my size 18/20 shirts.... I feel so frumpy. I am not used to the fit of the 14/16 though. Its more 'fitted' and i was so used to hiding the fat with big clothes. I even have some 22 shirts from a couple years ago when I was in a 20 but would get bigger to hide the rolls. I agree about needing…

Yes I struggle with that too. I have tried a serving of peanuts but worry about the fat and sodium. I bought myself raw almonds today and will see if that helps. I have tried celery, carrots, or getting on the treadmill. I am still working on chaning that habit. At least I am not doing ice cream like I used to. Haven't had…

Okay, I want to know how many calories I just burned laughing my butt off at all these posts, ROFLMBO!! Great post. And honestly.. I weigh after I go to the bathroom too. I actually have weighed after a big one and have had the scale show 1/2 to 1 lb difference sometimes. btw I didn't look at your food diary before…

Interesting evening... or just different. proud of myself though Helped today in our 2's and 3's class for church from 11-12 ish, then they had a luncheon so was there until 2. Burned some calories chasing kiddos and cleaning up toys over and over :) sure love those little ones. Hubby's Bday is tomorrow, he is working of…

I agree, all bodies are different. I have to eat breakfast. I have read it is best to eat within an hour of waking (Dr Oz I believe). Turns out that just works for me, if I wait to eat until 10 or 11 and decide on brunch it seems to either make my shaky by then (hypoglycemic) or I am so hungry if I eat light I am still…

Russ -- great pics - great transformation. Congrats K
