such a difference! and you have beautiful curves in the "after" pic! keep up the good work =]

huugee difference! and you do look much younger! 30 lbs may not seem like a lot at first, but wow, what a change! keep it up :wink:

awesome! I hate jogging/running :frown: Going a mile is definitely a success!! The more you do it, the easier it gets too :smile:

you guys are all rock stars! seriously wonderful!

I have a degree in bio and work in human genetics research (specifically, developmental neurobiology) at my local Children's hospital. So I am pretty sciency :smile: (and a bit nerdy too :blushing: )

I also wear a 6/8 in pants and have 15" calves...I've always hated my calves :sad: Anyways, I love skinny jeans and think they look great on many different body types (I am not a twig by any means and still think I look great in them :tongue: :wink: ) I just bought a pair called "legging jeans" made by AG Jeans. They are…

thanks everyone!! I am leaning towards egg muffins with bacon and peppers! Or maybe pumpkin muffins?! Edit: made with almond flour

Fruit is always a yummy option! I just worry that since everyone is getting used to people bringing bagels and such, that I will be the debbie-downer that brings fruit because I can't eat wheat, haha. I was thinking more along the lines of treating myself on this Thursday (once a month when I bring the treat, all of the…

sounds yummy!

woohoo! I have been wheat-free (and trying to keep carbs low) for 2 weeks now and really have noticed a difference in swelling all over my body (I even notice that my face is less swollen). I accidentally ate some soy sauce (wheat) last night and I really paid for it with stomach cramping and running to the bathroom!…

BUMP!

wonderful, wonderful, wonderful job!! like everyone else has said, great inspiration!

I have the same issue with bloating!! I am only 1 week into primal eating but my stomach has definitely gone done a lot and now I can't wait to see the results in a month! Great job :drinker:

I made a delicious Tomato Mozzarella Basil toss salad last night! I just mixed together a 10.5oz container of cherub tomatoes (cut in half), an 8oz container of cherry-sized mozza balls (cut in half), 1.5 tbs olive oil, 1/2 tbs minced garlic, desired amount of basil leaves torn up with fingers, salt, pepper, and drizzle…

@krizzo obviously beautiful eyes!! and the color of your hair is quite beautiful also!

I say the black one with fun jewelry! I think the pink one is too flowy and not crazy about the fit of it....the black one really shows off your figure and would be perfect with some nice jewelry and the shawl :smile: but like everyone else is saying, you look great in all of them!

thank you! :)

I am sorry this happened to you. Please don't let it derail you though as others have said! I can only imagine how hurtful that was but you need to stay strong and keep working hard to meet your goals, to be healthier and happier! You are doing wonderfully so far so keep it up!

I am looking for "wheat free" friends. I recently decided to try eliminating wheat from my diet to see if it solves from major digestive issues and found I have a lot of questions. I would love to become friends with people who are either in my same position or experts at being wheat free!

Any more wheat free folks willing to help a girl out?! :flowerforyou:

yum bump!

woo hoo! congrats!!:tongue:

If I even gain a few pounds I can tell bc the side/back rolls under my bra strap show up again! I am hour-glass and have a small waist so I guess the weight gain there is very noticeable. Once I lose the 5-7 pounds the roll goes away...so weird.

It's probably just water weight! I can see up to a 5lb difference in 2 days :grumble: Just drink lots of water to keep thing flushed out and watch sodium intake. I agree with the poster who said if it continues to go up, change some things around like foods/cals/exercise. Otherwise, you probably just ate more sodium than…

I have the SAME problem. I get it from my mother and grandmother, but at certain times of the month (ovulating AND pms/menstrating..so basically all the time lol) my stomach sticks out so far that I could easily convince people I am 5 months pregnant. I am not over weight either. My issue seems to be not being "regular". I…

I am so confused by this lol. When I first started reading this I thought you were going to go into some reason about why you were "concerned for her health" or something but then you just ended it by saying that you're curious why she has all this loose skin?! I don't get why you care first of all. Tons of people have…

also, to those who are still trying to stop drinking soda, I just want to say that I noticed that the less I drank it, the less I craved it! I hardly ever have a craving for soda anymore (if I do, I might have a diet coke out to eat or something, we never have it at home). :smile:
