Great work!!! What a tremendous difference!!! Way to go!

If you mix plain greek yogurt with cottage cheese (I use low-fat or no-fat of both) and puree it together with a bit of sweetener (your choice, I use Splenda), it actually tastes quite similar to a cheesecake filling! I then add frozen blueberries...it's my favorite go-to snack! Lots of protein, calcium and healthy fiber…

I'm a Christian, and if I'm sick or if my child were sick...while we would definitely pray for healing, we would also use the good sense God gave us and go to the doctor as well. Do I believe that ultimately God provides the healing itself? Absolutely...the human body is an amazing creation. Even if you go to the doctor,…

I bought the Peanut Butter Ones before reading the ingredients...overall, they aren't terrible. They will do when you are craving something slightly sweet. Not awesome by any stretch. Maybe if you warmed them up they might be better...

That's a brilliant idea! Well done!

Fantastic job! I'm feeling inspired! Thanks for sharing!

What an awesome morning! Way to go! You inspire me...and your writing style is superb! I look forward to reading more! Thanks so much for sharing!

You are AWESOME! And such an inspiration!

Thanks Ladies! These insights are much appreciated!

Bump! Truly awesome! Will be printing some of these!

Sounds yummy! Gotta try it!

Yummo! Bump, bump, bump!

Take heart my friend! Its not a sprint! This takes time...and weight will fluctuate! Surround yourself with positive people, and as hard as it often is, make sure you are your OWN best cheerleader! If you're not doing it for yourself, you're not doing it for the right reasons! You've got this!!!

I agree 100%! I like to mix 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt with 1/2 cup cottage cheese and puree it all with a sweetener or fruit of some sort in the blender. It starts to taste like cheesecake filling actually. Add a litte honey or Splenda (if you do artificial sweeteners) and some vanilla... Also, someone mentioned Crystal…

Pink, definitely! It just totally pops! And I would even wear it with the in-laws! You have obviously worked hard, nothing to hide! Great job!

I have actually just started doing primal myself. So far, so good! It's not nearly as hard as I was expecting. I'm trying to keep my carbs below 100 to stay in weight loss mode. I would love to be your friend!

I second that! Feeling very inspired now! Congratulations!

What a transformation! You look great!

Will start tonight! Bump!

Did you mean to say 1700 calories a day? Because surely you wouldn't be suggesting anyone eat only 700 calories a day...minimum requirements are 1200. But yes, you can absolutely lose that weight by June, and you can do it the right way, by making good food choices and working out! Just be sure you do something that is…

You are and were simply stunning! Congratulations on improving your health! Way to go!

If you go to www.bellplantation.com, they have a store locator you can use to see where you can buy PB2 near you! As an update, their shipping is quite high, so it may be less expensive to order from Amazon, especially if have a Prime membership on Amazon! They even make a chocolate PB2, with the same calorie information!…

I found it on a different site, and it seems to be a bit less expensive than Amazon...I think! I'm def going to buy some! Thanks for the awesome recipe idea! I just had the 170 calorie version yesterday! http://store.bellplantation.com/4-Pack-PB2-Powdered-Peanut-Butter-p/pb2-04.htm

Interesting tips, and I agree, the pics were amazing! I would love to be as fit as some of the models demonstrated here! Nothing but respect for the hard work and dedication they have put in to maintaining that level of fitness!

You look simply beautiful! You inspire your daughter as well, because now she knows how amazing she can look when she is your age! Go Mom!!!

Not only do I not eat as much, there seem to be relatively immediate negative side effects when I eat to much sugar or bad fat...I don't feel good at all, and my digestive system protests emphatically! I'm grateful though, because I would rather my body get my attention than to just acclimate to the abuse. It helps me stay…

Bump! And a great big thank you to the awesome MFP'er that posted pics! You rock!

bump! That sounds delicious!

I'm intrigued...will defininitely have to try this one! Does it bake up like a regular cake, or does it effect the consistency?

I would agree that some organic whole foods can be a bit overpriced, but if a person exercised good judgment and tried to eat seasonal items, they could still eat quite healthfully on a moderate budget. It's really mind over matter. I love Aldi's grocery store, because I can go there and get produce (fresh and frozen) very…
