  • Great job! I cant believe how amazing you look. I am so worried about having loose skin :( But you look fantastic.
  • 152... but I am 5'9 so its so hard for me to guess on someone who isn't in the same range as me.
  • Amazing! And proof everyone is different because as of this morning I am 233 and look NOTHING like that and Im 5'9. Id love to have your body at this weight.
  • Staying on track when I have an unsupportive unhealthy spouse. And buying new clothes. That crap is expensive.
  • You're amazing. Im just under 240lbs and look nothing like you do in your first picture. How tall are you? Its amazing how every single person is shaped so differently. Makes me sad that women compare their bodies to others. Anyway... Im hoping to do the warrior dash in August here in WI. I don't care about my time though…
  • your midsection and thighs have really toned up. Your bust line also looks like it perked up (though that could be the suit too). Great work.
  • I used it about 6.5 years ago. Lost 20 lbs. Had to remind myself to eat. Only took one in the morning and sometimes only did every other day. Ive thought about trying it again. But in the end I have gained 50 lbs in the 6 years since coming off of them and am just now down to within 10 lbs of where I was when I was taking…
  • I know its not my bloodsugar. I am not low or high when I have these mood swings or cravings. I am on an insulin pump now and have been for almost 6 years. My levels have been pretty good in the last few years. I can't take antidepressants as they all make me suicidal (have tried many combinations and types). Addiction…
  • I love salad. I actually like healthy food. Yet all I can think about is the bad stuff. Im diabetic and its really hurting my health because I seriously crave sugar, even when my blood sugars aren't low. I don't deprive myself. Even when I do eat unhealthy thing Im thinking of the next unhealthy thing I will eat all while…
  • He has been complaining... yes COMPLAINING that my butt is getting smaller. Also my boobs have shrunk (slightly) and he's starting to whine about that. He's doing more complaining than supporting.
  • Yes Id love to know how you did it because Im at 235 and no matter what I can't seem to budge. 9 months and nothing. You did amazing! Helping someone obtain their dreams of parenthood and getting yourself into that bikini with a rocking body. Great job!
  • amazing! You look fabulous.
  • Skim milk, low fat, fat free for everything. From a nutritionist. Nothing about proteins, carbs, good fats vs bad fats. Nothing about things I know are right. Only advising me to do things I know are wrong. Even my husband walked out of the meeting going "WTF?" and he's not even into nutrition.
  • Fantastic. Without pictures I would have been done by now. I could not continue based on loss alone because I haven't lost anything. But my progress pictures keep me going. Keep up the great work, its paying off!
  • Net or total? Im set to intake 1520 daily. With exercise Im having to eat about 2,000-2,500 depending on my intensity. Ive had days where Id "net" 200 if I didn't eat back some of my calories. But Im also thinking MFP is way over calculating my burned calories.
  • 23 is not young at all. I was married at 19 and had a baby by 21. I had my second daughter just after I turned 25. I have a friend who is the same age as me who has 4 kids. 15 is young. 23 is not. Your school program isn't too long. Just talk to your advocate about possible maternity time or doing some schooling at home.…
  • I use bandanas. Honestly even with long hair Id wear them. I hate sweat in my face. I will work out at half effort if I have sweat in my face.
  • I have lost 10 lbs total from beginning to current pictures. But I honestly don't even know how many inches Ive lost. Clearly its all in the inches for me. Cant resize, too lazy anyway. Can just right click and open in new window and it should bring up the whole thing. Sorry.
  • I will have to look into it. Thanks.
  • just tested it at about 72. Its always been high though. I remember in high school we had to take it and it was always in the 70-80 range.
  • wow. Amazing work!
  • After watching some girls at the gym I seriously can't imagine trying to learn kettlebell without working with the certified trainer one on one. The girls forms were all wrong. I don't know how they don't damage their backs! I was swinging 35lbs today and honestly can't imagine using less weight. I do a pretty intense…

  • I'm currently using the 35-40lb weights for my swings & 20 for everything else.

  • Stretch stretch stretch. Cardio warm up (5-10 min walking) and cool down (10-15min walking) to allow your muscles to relax. Lots and lots of water. And actually if you walk the day after an intense workout when you're really sore it will help break down the chemicals in your muscles that are causing the pain. Do a 30 min…
  • Logging every day for the entire month. Cut back my portions, allow myself cheat days once per week. NOT have more cheat days than once a week. Work out 4+days per week all month.
  • I do Herbalife shakes. But I also struggle with food addiction and this is something that has worked to help break my food addiction. I feel much better now that Im getting the right nutrients into my body. They have a "24" line that is their athletic line. I love it for when I work out. Its whey protein powder that I make…
  • I am the same way. Lots of changes in pictures but zero movement on the scale. I guess the whole "muscle vs fat" theory is true :) You look awesome.
  • I agree with TIME. It's so hard to be patient. Pictures, no matter how much you hate your befores, are extremely important. Being able to look at your progress side by side is huge. I'd have given up by now cuz I don't see it looking at myself. I don't feel it. But seeing it side by side I can go "yup, there's changes…
  • Ive been doing Herbalife since February. Its a temporary plan. Im diabetic and was on medication for hyperthyroidism. I started doing the shakes because despite eating well and exercising I had no energy and wasnt making any progress. I felt like my body needed a kick start. Since starting Herbalife I have been able to…
  • Amazing work. You can really see it in your face even since the last pictures. Great job.
