I am eating 90% Paleo and love it! Seeing a big difference in my energy level.

My husband and I have been talking about that as we've been working out everyday with kettle bells. Some days we feel the soreness, and some days we don't. I do think for me it depends on the amount of stretching I do and my water consumption. When I am drinking plenty of water, it really helps with the soreness. Good luck!

You seriously have come SUCH a long way and should be so very proud of yourself! You look great and you are a healthier Mama for your kids! Keep up the good work!

Oh my goodness! Thank you guys all so much. I can't say enough how much looking at other peoples stories has inspired me, so thank you to all of you that have been an inspiration as well!

Oh shoot, my pictures are huge! I thought I did it right. If anybody knows what I did wrong please tell me.

I read the whole thing because that was inspiring! Great mindset and encouraging words! You look fabulous and most of all healthy and that is what matters. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for that! You have given me hope! Great job on your weight loss. WOW!

I've lost 50 since January. Still have about 25 to go. I think the key is this is a lifestyle change and not a diet. Because of that slow and steady WILL win the race. I eat 1200-1500 calories per day (depends on the amount of exercise for the day). I drink a gallon of water a day and don't waste calories on drinks.…

You look so much younger! Keep up the good work!

I have been experiencing the same thing. Great feeling and a great NSV! Thanks for sharing.

You are awesome at telling a story. Keep up the great work and the positive attitude and you will succeed!

Do you realize how much younger you look? You are amazing girl, keep it up! Very inspiring!

I'm on week 3. Keep it up!

I am still learning how to run and get so confused. These forums have been helpful, but it would be nice to have a live person standing next to me telling me what to do! Good luck!

You lost the c section gut! How? That is so awesome! You look amazingly wonderful. Good job!

I think the first one. The pink was a good color on you!

Keep up the good work my friend!! Detoxing from sugar is so satisfying in the end. I've made Quinoa a few times and its been hit or miss. I made it mac n cheese style and suprisingly nobody liked it. I assume we can't eat Wheat Bulgar :)

I started MFP the beginning of January. I started going to Zumba in February and have lost a total of 30 pounds so far this year. I go to Zumba 4 days a week and walk 2 days a week. I attribute so much of this to eating well and pretty clean, and my Zumba class. If you have one to go to, I highly recommend it and feel that…

I've lost 20 in 3 months. (12 weeks) There is a lot of advice on here about eat your exercise calories, don't eat your exercise calories, etc... I think you have to find what works for you and your body. I am short ( 5 ft) and have 70 lbs to lose. What has worked for me is eating around 1250 -1400 a day, doing an hour of…

I'm pretty much the same as you. Glad to hear that others are eating that amount of calories with success. I think at the end of the day this weight loss thing is a very individulized thing and everybody has to find what is working for them. I'm also 5'0 and my doctor said 130-135 is a good goal for my build. Good luck and…

Hey I just wanted to say thanks for the info on skin brushing! I started doing it about 2 weeks ago and can feel a difference in my skin already. Hoping that as I keep it up and keep losing the weight it will help with the skin too. You are very inspring! Thanks again!

"Trust the process" Whenever I start second guessing or wishing things would come off faster or get impatient, that is what I tell myself. I must say it 100 times a day because the process works and I just need to have patience and trust that. Trust the process.

Um, I love you! You are so motivational and inspiring! I am totally checking into the skin brushing thing. That is awesome! Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and story!

Thank you for that helpful advice on BMR! That was very informative.

What is this project Evelyn and stretching? Sounds interesting.

WOW! I mean all I can say is wow! Thank you for sharing and inspiring and paying it forward. WOW!

What a great feeling! And a great reminder that how we see ourselves is not always accurate :) Great job!

Wow, that is wonderful! You look fantastic.

I put on capris on today that were tight last summer and lose today. (I'm 50 days and 12 lbs into MFP)

I have learned that if I allow myself sugar, then I keep wanting sugar. Therefore I am trying to just not have any desserts at all. I do allow myself a little nutella on the weekend as a treat. When I don't eat sugary foods I don't crave them.
