  • You can definitely see the difference, especially in your back. Thanks for the inspiration!
  • If I hit it this week, it will have taken me a week shy of 6 months. This has been a slow and steady process where I've just been learning to eat and live like a thin person. I haven't cut anything out of my diet. I have days where I don't count calories and just eat what I want (tailgating, holidays, date night) but I try…
  • I use various flavored aged balsamic vinegars. There's an olive oil and vinegar store near me that has all sorts of amazing flavors, there's even a dark chocolate balsamic that I put on strawberries or vanilla ice cream.
  • I love heels and can walk in them just fine, but they hurt my toes soooooo bad. I'm hoping it will get better when I get more weight off, but it hasn't so far. I feel like I'm always stepping on the nerves in my toes. I have quality heels too. Anybody else have toe pain and know how to deal with it/fix it?
  • I have a low calorie limit since I'm short and it used to be hard for me, sometimes it still is. It's about making good choices (I rarely eat salads for my entree, but I do avoid carbs for side items-ask for a second helping of steamed veggies instead of fries or potatoes), portioning, and allowing yourself a cheat day…
  • We're in the same boat for how tall we are, how much we want to lose, and how much we've lost, but you've done it almost twice as fast! Congratulations, you look amazing! I hope I look that good right now!
  • Great job! Hold onto that feeling and use it to keep pushing forward.
  • It's the weight that my doctor told me she wants me at and I feel like it's attainable. We'll see if I want to go any lower once I get there.
  • I know feel your pain! And "you need to make time for yourself" is easier said than done. "Get up earlier" or "Go to bed later", when you're only getting precious few hours (if your lucky) of sleep a night, you cannot spare a minute of sleep. Does your baby go to daycare? Maybe you can fit in a workout before you pick her…
  • Any meat I want, I just measure measure measure! Just had a BLT the other night and stayed well within my calories. :) I do various fish, scallops, shrimp, pork, beef... Message me if you want some recipes.
  • Make sure you are doing a really deep calf stretch for at least 20 long seconds per leg. Best stretch for PF! Ice afterwards too. Keeping your feet flexed as much as possibly during the day helps too. Night splints (which are boots that hold your foot in a flexed position while you sleep) and the deep calf stretch were/are…
  • I eat eggs nearly every morning for breakfast. I always fix them over medium using a nonstick pan and a little butter flavored pam cooking spray.
  • I know there are going to be days where I do not want to count calories and just enjoy myself. I call them my fat girl days or faturday, like New Year's, Superbowl, my birthday (not Thanksgiving of Christmas though because I find those easy and fun to find healthy meals for). Allowing myself to have those days, know that…
  • I'm almost 5' 2" and want to get down to 130. Just taking it 1 lb at a time with small goals of 5 lbs at a time. I've already dropped a clothing size and am about to drop another. I've also had more energy to play on the playground with my 17 month old. :)
