It has completely revolutionized my time of the month - less skin irritation, less pms symptoms, shorter cycle time - so so worth it! Cloth pads also help, especially with skin issues. I highly suggest this to anyone, especially if you have a hard time.

Great job! We are in the same place and you look great!

what a blessing!

strawberry yogurt sprinkled with shredded coconut - mmmmmm!

Chilled pomelo - nature's sweet tart!!

Part of this journey is taking away excuses. Learning who you are in relation to food. Stick to your schedule, don't be upset with yourself, and be prepared for what your body and the scale tells you. Accepting who you are even when you make wrong choices - very important. We all make choices we aren't proud of. Just…

my freckles and my green eyes

How old were you when you got engaged? 20 How long had you been together before getting engaged? 1 1/2 years How old were you when you got married? 20 Are you still together (if so, for how long)? Yes, 19 years Dec 2012

Just water and my one daily indulgence - morning coffee! Though I do throughout the day add slices of lime, lemon, orange (just about any fruit) to my water. Adds a tiny taste (stronger the longer it sets) but negligible calories. I love it!

I play the ukulele and 4 other instruments. Not really a weird fact, just something unique and special that I like about myself.

I agree! Since I still have to cook for my very slender daughter and string bean husband, I can't afford to make two different meals every time we eat! Moderation, portion control and consistent exercise - it's been working for me and I've lost 42lbs since Nov '11. Thanks for the logical "rant" - keep doing what works for…

What an amazing transformation! Sincerest Congratulations on an amazing job well done! What an inspiration!:happy:

lentils are a great protein and easy for curries, sweet potatoes (better than white), in season veg, brown rice, chicken legs (higher in fat, but so easy in the crock pot and cheaper), eggs for quiche (no crust) - just a few that I use to help our budget. Hope it helps!:happy:

I use it combined with olive oil to lightly pan fry tilapia, chicken, vegetables, in place of canola or other oils in baking, and so so delish in smoothies of every kind!

I have a water bottle that holds 16 oz. I fill it up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and make sure I drink it before leaving the table. I usually fit another bottle during the day. i don't drink anything else usually except coffee in the morning. Not an exciting answer, but it helps me! Hope it helps!
