I think Chalene Extreme has a great weights program for both beginners and experienced lifters. Its a video series, so not too sure how it will help at the gym.

Have a steak day, you loose 1-2lbs the next day and keep it off. Eat nothing all day except water then at night eat a big steak with either a tomato or apple. It works, no joke.

The Inca Trail!

I do this with a tbsp of coconut flour. Such a yummy snack. I learned about it from a friend who follows the paleo diet. I like it with syrup!!

A double serving of Costco's chicken and chive dumblings. 280 cals, and probably a lot of salt. But that is what I eat for second dinner.

This is truly the best flavored greek yogurt out there. My god is it good. But I buy 3x 500ml a week from Costco's kirkland to use in variety of ways. I make a liter of tzatziki a week and use the rest with either jam or honey in the morning. So addicted to Greek yogurt.

Salads are deceiving. The Salmon Salad at Moxies it about 1300 cals. I say when in doubt stick with a chicken dish. I am crazy about online menu planning, its the best way to go.

I love mine. I also forget to press start. lol

My grilled cheese sandwiches must be made with processed cheese, cheap full fat kraft singles.

Watch "Hungry for change," it really illustrates what is wrong with most peoples weight loss efforts.

Life weights, muscle is the fountain of youth and will make you a calorie burning machine! Best of luck, I am sure you will get through this. Its a new year.

When my Grandma was sick we would make full fat Alfredo Fettuccine from scratch. I was great to see her eat it all and I loved having an excuse to eat such rich food.

You tube is great. There are talented people posting instruction videos for just about any look. Pick a celebrities hair that you could see working for you and google "how to get _________'s hair." I dont have great skills in this area so I try and copy looks I like and get tutorials when possible. Most make up stores like…

THIS!!!

Some days I did two videos in one day to keep up with the schedule.

Age doesn't make you gain weight, but it does make you lose muscle mass. Muscle is the fountain of youth, get more and you'll burn calories like a teenager. This is Chalean Johnson's theory, I think it makes a lot of sense.

I like to run, so I enjoy CLX as she provides a great beginner resistance program that allows me to fit in a few runs a week. Sometimes I do her cardio workouts and other times I run in their place. I have never done insanity, I have alot of issues with the high impact routines as I have back and knee issues. I'm currently…

Good Work, you look terrific!

Just log everything, I find having to log things helps me to stop snacking. Also eat full fat greek yogurt when you crave sugar, it is filling and better than ice cream and packed with protein. Welcome!

Full Fat Greek Yogurt topped with granola, fruit, nuts and hemp hearts. I am an addict. Yum

Chalean Johnson's Chalean Extreme is great.

http://www.livestrong.com/recipes/monicas-dark-rich-vegetarian-chili/ Best Veggie Chili ever, not your usually veggie chilli. I eat meat but prefer this, the wine and cocoa really replace the meaty goodness of meat chili.

I am also on day 5 of the 30 day shred. If you follow it for 30 days you will see a difference. Add me if you are looking to start it. I am happy to keep you motivated. I am getting married next year.

I think those people have a lot to lose. Its relative. If you have only 5lbs to lose, you'll probably only lose 1 or 2lb while someone who has 100lbs to lose could lose 20lb. You look great, and an inch off your hips sounds like great progress.

Add me! I love mfp. and am currently doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred with a few others on here. Join in!

I'm on day four and very motivated! I'm here for you!
