your results are amazing! WTG!! congrats :happy:

Thanks everyone :) My advice to someone just starting the journey would be: 1- water is your friend drink it everyday! 2-food journal is very important, track everything 3-personal journal so you have someplace to write down all that you are feeling and doing, that way you have an outlet that reduces stress 4-ignore anyone…

That is wrong on so many levels!

my mom was the worst for me. She would insist on working out with me then show up an hour late sit at my table for 2 drinking coffee and when I finally got her downstairs to my equipment jump on my bike in her jeans and pedal at a snails pace and try and give me a rough time for how I hit the elliptical. I finally quit…

Butt Bible with Pauline Nordine. You can find her workouts on youtube or order through amazon. You do each workout level for two weeks. Amazing killer workout with good results fast. A lot of butt bridges (Glute bridge) and squats and so forth.

I agree with everyone on this board that is saying that she isn't a good friend. I have lost a fair few on my weight loss path, but found new friends. The good lord gave you slopped shoulders for a reason so that others people *kitten* can slid on down. I have gotten in the habit of telling myself and people like that I…

this ^^^ I also usually pound my 4 ounce of chicken or pork with a meat hammer before I grill it so that it 'appears' larger on my plate, letting me feel like I am getting a much larger portion

My Ipod is my favorite gear. I don't run, but I bike and having my own tunes makes me push harder and go for longer. Also my water bottle, it goes everywhere with me.

try not to let it discourage you. Your cloths fitting better and getting bigger is a better indication that you are still doing all things right. The scale can be a fickle friend and not one that you want to rely on. When my scale isn't being nice I take out my tape measure and 9 times out of 10 I have lost inches. That is…

when I first started I bought the two biggest loser cookbooks, the orginal and then eventually the family cookbook. They both have really good recipes and I would just go through the book on Sunday and decide what I wanted to cook and shop for those ingredients. Took most of the guess work out of the process. Also too they…

my family loves steak on a stick :) you just season, maranade your steak like normal only you put on a stick like a hotdog and cook until you feel it is done to your taste. We always cook our fish when camping in tin foil. Stuff the body with butter, herbs and veggies wrap in the tin foil and put on grill or fire till…

I have crohn's disease and have found that with the primal diet I feel soo much healther then I did before. I actually had an older doctor from south africa tell me about it years ago. I have now been med free for about 6 years and for the first time feel like a 'normal' person. I can still have a bad morning, but it is…

yup:smile:

This is an awesome idea! I can't wait to try it out myself. Thanks for sharing :)

The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook has a good recipe for nachos: 1 ounce baked tortilla chips 1/4 cup drained canned 50% less-sodium black beans, heated 4 ounces grilled lean boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small pieces 2 tablespoons salsa conqueso, all natural if possible (Salpica), heated 3 tablespoons finely…

good ol' mullet rock! Love working out to bad company, triumph, lynyrd skynyrd, and so forth :)

Kiss me Deadly---Lita Ford Fight the good fight---Triumph China Girl---David Bowie These three are my favorites. Whenever I hear them I wan't to workout :)

This is what worked for me. I went through surgical menopause due to a hysterectomy. I pretty much cut out bread and grains/starches partly because I wanted to lose the weight but also because I have crohn's and for some reason I can't digest those items easily. I also zig-zagged my calories. I would do a couple of days at…

penguin but also say I may be a wolf :)

Thank you everyone:) I just started chalean extreme to help tone, tighten and shed the last little bit. :)

I wear both a sports bra and a spandex top under my tank top. I am fairly large and would most like kill myself if I didn't. :)

The Butt Bible you can watch it on youtube. You do each level for two weeks. Lower levels on Monday, Upper levels on Tues, rest/cardio of your choice on Wed, then lower level thrusday, upper level on friday. Weekends are rest or cardio of your choice. It gets tougher with each workout, but I have notice a big difference in…

Just finished my first circuit in burn feel good, tired but good :) can't wait to see results. :smile:

I started at 240 pounds and stand 5'4. I really started to notice at about 20 to 25 pounds. It took almost 40 for my family I hadn't told that I was changing my lifestyle to notice. I didn't really notice in the mirror as fast as others did, but i noticed things around me more. How a seatbelt started to feel comfortable,…

I like to crush pecan nuts up and put them in a pie plate with herbs and toss around. Then coat the top of the chichen breast with egg whites and press into the nut/herb mix. Bake them on a boiler sheet at 350 till done. Really good :)

This ^ I was stuck for almost a year, once I changed my diet up a bit and changed my whole workout and added more strength I started losing again.
