I prefer whole foods. Id rather eat a chicken breast than drink a shake. That being said..when I need something in a hurry or have a huge workout day I will sometimes add a Jillian Micheal's Shake in bc I trust she doesnt put chemicals or artificial sweeteners and stuff in it...its more whole food oriented I think...but…

Its so expensive I dont get it..but Ive head very opposing opinions on it. One loved it and another said it tasted like dirt. Guess it depends on the quality and what it is prepared with

I teared up at spin class last week I had a pulled muscle in my neck but I was crying more bc I stepped on the scale before class and felt sad and the workout was even tougher than before and I teared up!! luckily it was dark!

LOVE seeing these success stories! you give me so much hope!!!!

I can't remember if I posted on this or not before..but SALMON!! I WISH WISH WISH I liked it but I don't I can't swallow it it just makes me gag! I can eat mild fish like cod or halibut, etc..but not salmon or other fishy fish: )

5 days a week .plus I go back a second time twice a week.

I'm 5"8 and have about 80 pounds to lose..people think I don't bc I am tall. 190 at five-nine probably looks amazing..at my thinnest I was 185..my goal is 175 and my dream is 165! I am one of t hose people who compares myself to everyone and I do feel really awkward when someone much thinner is talking about weight loss. I…

I have lost a little weight in the last 2 weeks from doing mainly zumba with a spin class in the middle of the week and a few strength training..but my clothes are feeling a little more loose and my husband says my body is feeling smaller and more muscular. I have almost 80 pounds to lose. I LOVE LOVE zumba. I can do an…

Went out with a guy who expected to have a reward for going on a date..If he paid for anything he expected something in return( Im sure I dont have to explain) We watched a movie at his house..that I rented.. He kept trying to kiss me with stupid line..He said" look into my eyes..I want to see your eyes...He tried to kiss…

I'm trying to eat my carbs(good ones) in the morning anf afternoon to fuel energy for the day. At night or my dinner..I try to limit the carbs since I am usually going to retire and dont need the amount of carbs most dinners provide. That way I feel I still get benefits of good grains and the vitamins from them but also…

well said We also just have to note that LOW carb is NOT NO carb

I love that book In Defense of Food! It really opened my eyes. I try to eat as close to mother earth as possible and that includes a little wheat and other grains/carbs..even some white potatoes..It is a great book!

I have started more Zumba..Trying for 4 days a week with strength training 3 days a week..I hope I can lose like you have!!

mello mushroom..just abt any of them..only eat there 2 times a year

AS if suddenly losing the amount of weight you want gives us the excuse to go back to eating more again and not exercising! Someone once told me.."YOu can't change how other people are or what they say..but you CAN change how you react to them"...No one wants to hurt the "fat girls" feelings..People can see Im overweight…

I get really bad bouts of anxiety/depression and I actually HAVE to meditate and do breathing exercises. I honestly through my breath tell myself to release the bad and bring in the good. People who never had depression just don't know how debilitating it is! It really is hard to even get out the door! Hope this moment…

very inspiring!!

Im only an inch taller and have been told 165 is my lowest to get!

fruit, light cheese sticks, vegetables, nuts/seeds..when Im being at my best anyways: )

I am not vegetarian but I believe in eating meat sparingly! It is hard to diet when all the trainers at the gym want you to eat high protien and legumes apparently carry to many carbohydrates! Are you vegetarian for healthy reasons or animal rights? I knew some that ate fish? Im not sure what that is called...

LAne bryant now does single number sizes for their pants..I never thought Id be in a 3, lol

Make sure you eat larger amounts of lower calorie foods but dont forget proteins either. When we are used to eating a lot and we are used to eating foods like sugar, refined carbs, or chemicals from fast foods/chips/etc our bodies DO go through withdrawals. Eat leafy greens and vegetables and fruits in abundance to fill…

You can friend me on here..Im not sure how we do that though: )

I can not tell you how wonderful it is to see others who are not the "typical" image of a marathon or triathlete doing them. It makes me feel like my dreams are possible that I can do it BEFORE I lose every ounce of fat!! Thanks for being an inspiration!!! Keep at it!

I didnt know they had it for the Wii! Thats awesome!

I just joined the gym and they have Zumba and spin classes and VERY up to date equipment! Im so excited to get my Zumba on!

wow, those meds can do way more harm than good!!

My history went like this: ALways struggled with wieght and gained more from emotional/stress eating..Got very healthy in college..went on Birth control right before I got married(screwed up my hormones!!!!!)...which led to weight gain-got depressed about the said weight gain...got pregnant--lost weight went through some…

amen to that!

NOthing more versatile than chicken. Nothing more refreshing than watermelon (or Peaches from the stand). I love my veggies and eat so many but I use onion in so many things I couldn't live with out it. AS for taste..I love my Asparagus.
