So glad it's worked for people! I get discouraged if I go over my calorie count some days. Maybe this is something that is good to do (within reason). I'll started to implement it into my diet some days!

HOLY COW WOMAN! You look amazing!! I need your friendship in my life!

It took me a while to believe it, but my diet was the breaking point in my journey to weight loss. I work out 5-6 days a week, sometimes for 1 and a half to 2 hours. I still wasn't losing. It wasn't until I bought a digital scale and put my measuring cups to work that I started to see results. Eating out (even salads <--…

You look like a completely different person! You're amazing!!

I don't skip workouts during TOM. I really want to, but I know it's better if I just bite the bullet. If I feel really tired/headache/gross etc. I tell myself to "take it easy" on that day. Turns out when I get there (without pressure on myself) I usually complete my workout and sometimes I do better then usual. There have…

I don't keep up on Caffeine facts because I don't drink it. Thanks for your help!

Amazing! Cute Scrubs too!

I'd say in the 120's somewhere.

Congrats! In your 2nd pic, it looks like you're at Jungle Island in Miami! My favorite place!!

I second the food scale! Buying a digital food scale was a great idea! Mine can count in grams or ounces, which is how most foods are weighed.

Hi! I'm 5'3 and I was 140 at my heaviest. My goal weight is also 115. One thing that turned everything around for the better was bringing my lunch to work. I was eating salads that were custom made to order, and although all the veggies/meats etc were fresh and raw (except the meat) They would pile it on. Not to mention…

I take Probolic SR. It's 140 for one scoop and it tastes pretty good. It's also gentile on the stomach, so no gas or cramping (if you're sensitive to that). I've had great results from it.

Twinsies!

Twin! 20 pages in!

I had to search this because I start mine tomorrow and I can't think of anything else but eating. I thought I was crazy!

Eggs are also an amazing source of protein, and you can have it in so many ways (scrambled, hardboiled, omelet...)

I know what you mean! I live in NYC and people are always bringing cupcakes from "Crumbs Bakery" (an amazing place) to the office. Avoiding them is almost impossible. For a long time I couldn't NOT have one. I always gave in. When I was fed up with my lack of will power, I started to ask myself a series of questions when…

I second that!

Men can sneeze and lose weight. 5 pounds for a man doesn't sound unhealthy at all.

I got my body fat % measured. At 5'3" and 128 pounds I had 36% body fat. I cried for hours, then hired a personal trainer.

A link to me dead lifting 115 pounds! :-) http://youtu.be/lEEyRro56lg

Along with the advice that "muscle weight more then fat for the same amount of volume", try and weigh/measure yourself at the same time everyday. On average a woman can fluctuate between 1-3 pounds difference a day. These things are usually caused by water retention, hormones, menstrual cycle etc. Try and measure/weight…

Thanks everyone for their input! I'm racking my brain trying to figure out the last time I wore these jeans, but I guess it been over a year. I defiantly feel like my body has changed since I hit my mid-twenties. Maybe it because I'm in my prime "baby bearing age". Also (this might be TMI) but I'm also on "the pill". My…
