Jack and diet pepsi is my go to drink.

Yay! I had a mini stall for 2 weeks, and then this week a 2 pound loss. Glad you stuck it out!

I did my own take on a shawarma. I use my crock pot on Sunday and cook a few chicken breast in water, lemon juice, garlic, and various spices such as crushed red peppers, all spice, salt, and regular black pepper. Cook it over night and shred it in the morning. Dice up tomatoes and cucumbers, and put them in a…

I weigh myself every morning, but I also take my measurements every couple of weeks. I don't like going by only numbers on a scale.

Oh, hugs!

I didn't even read the rest of the post so far, but wanted to thank you for sharing your experience and story. I, for one, am glad you shared something so personal with us, and something that someone out there may read and be able to relate to. Whether or not a person posts here, or just reads the forums, you may have just…

We're in the Bloomington-Normal area. It's about 4 times the size of my hometown!

We just moved to Illinois from NC. Compared to NC, I see way more people out and about here running, walking with their kids, etc. It could also be because the summer here is much cooler than back home. We moved from a small city in NC, and my gym membership was $20 a month, and included childcare. Here, they want $50 a…

My husband's a Marine Corps Recruiter. I'll ask him if there's any loophole to this, or if her recruiter is correct with that info. I can message you any info he gives me, if you would like. Also, if you have any questions when she's at PI, feel free to message me!

I do, but I tell myself it's gonna be more than usual. It goes down after a few days.

I make a smoothie if I REALLY want something sweet. Today I used 3/4 cup of vanilla almond milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/2 cup of blueberries, and 1 cup of spinach. You can only taste the vanilla and blueberries. It tasted like a liquid blueberry muffin! 221 calories, and a great way to sneak in protein if you're…

Irish/Japanese Odd combo, I know.

I look like a hot mess in the gym. I'm not there to look great, but to get a badass workout. Don't worry about what you look like, just concentrate on what you're doing. If anyone has time to talk about what you look like, then they're there for the wrong reason.

Imagine Dragons- Radioactive. Don't know why, but I'm really liking this song. It's much more mellow than what I normally workout to.

Nope! Totally craving it now, too.

How exciting! Congrats!

I don't think it gets easier, you just get stronger! Keep at it! How awesome that your 7-year-old can see you push through something and not give up. Just think about the great example you are setting!

Wow! I also see no "spare tire". You look awesome!

My last pregnancy and a horrible case of PPD. It wasn't until this past January that I felt good enough to work off the pregnancy weight, which by that point I had been carrying around for 1.5 years. All the weight is gone, so now I'm focusing on toning up.

As someone who lives and grew up in a beach town, no one will think anything about what you look like. I've seen all types of bodies at the beach, but more or less I'm just concerned with where I'm going to lay my stuff, not about what the person near me looks like. If you're in the water, can't really see your body…

Any Punk Goes album, but really love Punk Goes Crunk for long workouts. Say Anything, Alkaline Trio, Bayside for individual bands.

Bananas. :(

Last year in my 20's over here! Feel free to add me.

I'm cracking up at this. You, sir, have made my afternoon. (I'm easily amused)

I've been doing Turbo Fire for a few weeks now. Honestly, I go to the gym more than I do the DVDs, but I still love it when I do them. I feel when school lets out for the summer, I teach kindergarten, I'll have more time to incorporate both the gym and Turbo Fire on a daily basis. Right now, I have time for one or the…

Yeah, I'm not going anywhere near the front. I'd be the person to trip right as it starts if I was in the front!

MFP goal is 1,280 I reached 2,887

I teach kindergarten and I'm definitely up and moving more than sitting.
