If you do it in a loving way I'm all for it :) .....my version of my mom's diet for me? Belittle me almost every time I saw her about my weight. "You have such a pretty face, now if you'd only lose weight" is not showing the love (that's just a mild phrase she'd say....can't post the rest here)

It'll die down the more people get used to it. I used to get those remarks all the time but honestly we can't even eyeball a portion size, much less have an idea what "X" amount of pounds off of another person would be lol Just shrug it off. I had an article come out on me a couple of months ago & it's now in a frame at…

Any time you can fit it in is the best time....there is no significant difference :)

Any time you can fit it in is a good time :) I teach classes in the morning and in the evening.....and I also exercise for myself anytime I can fit it

I have to update my picture that's my avatar but I started at 320 and now 153. I started on May 7, 2008 and hit my first goal of 170 in Feb 2010 :)

I had almost that much to lose....feel free to add me if you want :happy:

You should have just asked about toning instead of skin.....totally two different answers lol

yeap! what she said :)

Listen to your trainer....you and her have come up with a game plan. This guy is no one to you so don't let him get to you. I'm all about weight training but establishing an exercise routine is most important :)

Amazing job! Congratulations :flowerforyou:

We are doing our release tonight :) I've been practicing for over a week & really love this one (I <3 Shinedown and so glad to see them on a track!)

I'm totally not one that needs to answer since my career now has nothing to do with what I have a degree for lol I have a bachelors in Animal Science (I wanted to become a Vet before I had kids and was in my first year of Vet school when I got pregnant with my first) *drum roll* I now am a certified personal trainer and…

welcome! I'm a mom of 3 too....I wish you the best on getting healthy!

It basically boils down to age, how long have you been obese/overweight, if you are a smoker and the biggie is genetics. It's either going to bounce back or not. I have a FAQ in my blog about it ;)

A commitment to myself to do this is the absolute best thing that has worked for me :) Everything else is a journey & you can tweak. Good luck!

My main before and after is my avatar :) Here is a recent picture of me & my friends at an Apocalyptica concert (I'm on the left, btw lol)

I lost the majority of my weight with Weight Watchers....and if you are following the good healthy guidelines it'll steer you towards choosing better food. Like someone else said you can get the books and stuff off of ebay :) Counting points and counting calories are pretty much the same thing. You can your fill of junk…

I tend to stay away from being negative & normally a cheerleader....the only time I'm the voice a reason (or blunt, depending on what they wrote lol) is when it's something down right dangerous that someone is wanting to do. :)

Going for a run helps :)

ugh, it double posted :P

I teach water aerobics and I recommend a high cut (at the neck) one piece to avoid wardrobe malfunctions :laugh:

Congratulations on your success! :heart:

Loose skin is something you can hide way easier than fat if you do happen to have it :wink:

I found nothing wrong with the original post....it's pretty much what I say to my clients & friends that come to me for advice. So count me in the 10% of women not offended by this post either :laugh:

:smile: yeap, what she said! It's not only based on your searches. Any articles you read, posts you read or reply to, etc are also factored into google ads

I'm from New Orleans :smile:

Plan, commit.....and when in doubt plan & commit some more :D You can totally rock this!

Stuff like Avenged Sevenfold, Papa Roach, Shinedown are at the top of my personal workout list :)

Cake.....this is the one thing I have a very hard time with so eliminating it from my house has worked pretty well :)

Don't compare yourself to "others"....it never does anyone any good :) You are still losing & that is the important thing!
