  • So far, my favorite place has been Rome. Italy is SO gorgeous and the people are super friendly, not to mention the oh-so-delicious food. However, I'm going to be spending 2 weeks in the Greek Isles in June (+ some time in Barcelona, Venice, Florence, the French Riviera, etc.) so I have a feeling my answer will be…
  • Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is already an eating disorder... this didn't just happen, it's been that way for a long time. And it's just as destructive as any other eating disorder. Trust me, I know.
  • Sounds delicious, definitely gonna have to try this!
  • You seriously look AMAZING. Like a totally different person. Great job and keep up the good work!
  • I'm 5'3. I've been playing with my calories for a while now, trying to find the perfect amount for me to lose weight. I was at 1200 for months, lost 33 pounds, then plateaued in the beginning of June. I upped my calories to 1500 for all of July, still no change. Upped again to maintenance, which was about 1900, and…
  • Landon, Hayden, Luke, or Patrick. Those are just my favorites, no idea if they've been said yet because I didn't scroll through all 6 pages haha :)
  • Usually, no. The very first line of my profile says that I don't accept friends requests without a message. If someone didn't take a minute or two to read my profile, it makes me wonder why they're friend requesting me in the first place. I don't have a lot of friends on here and don't see any reason to add random people…
  • Yep, I third it! 30 Day Shred is awesome!
  • I just became single about a month ago, and I love it! There are some things I miss about being part of a couple though: I miss getting random "I love you" texts, having someone to call and talk to/vent to when I get off work, having someone to cuddle with, always having a dinner date... etc. But none of that compares to…
  • You all are so sweet, thank you for the compliments! I still have some more weight to lose, but I'm MUCH happier now than I was back in the winter. Turbo Jam is awesome. I'd absolutely love to try Turbo Fire but it's really expensive and I can't afford it quite yet, so I'm looking into cheaper options like the 30 Day Shred…
  • Thanks so much! Yeah, I always wear the weighted gloves. I've also recently been doing Turbo Sculpt which is where you use weights (I use 5 lbs.) and Ab Jam. I bought the Maximum Results Kit from Amazon for like $75 and it was definitely worth the money. Unfortunately I think I've gotten about as much out of it as I'm…
  • Turbo Jam is the only workout I've been doing since I started back in January. Just in the first couple of months, I lost something like 15 inches total. It's getting to be too easy for me now, but I've definitely had success with it. Let me see if I can upload some photos to show you my progress...
  • I know exactly what you mean, I used to do the same thing. I would get on a "health kick" for a couple of weeks and then suddenly lose all motivation and quit. What I've learned is to take it one day at a time. If you feel like eating a cookie today, eat a cookie! Just log it and move on. It doesn't have to be all or…
  • I had something similar happen to me last summer. I was laying outside in my bikini (before I realized how much weight I had gained) and a car full of college guys drove by. One of them decided to yell "EWW, PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!!!" ....how sweet. Made me feel awful - I don't know why people have to be so rude like that.…
  • This is just my experience, and it's pretty rare, so take it with a grain of salt. I just feel it's worth mentioning. I was on Yaz birth control and ended up in the hospital with a Pulmonary Embolism. Actually, I had several clots in BOTH lungs - I think the term was "multiple bilateral pulmonary emboli". Scary stuff. This…
  • Another vote for Jack3d! Started taking it recently and LOVE it. Really gives me a huge energy burst and I've been having some of the best workouts ever. Just yesterday I did 120 minutes of Turbo Jam and felt incredible afterward!
  • This happened to me too! I lost 5 lbs. in my first week. It was mostly water weight. I didn't lose any weight for about two weeks after that, then it started coming off steadily (between 1 & 2 lbs. per week). Of course now I'm stuck in a plateau, but yeah haha the initial 5-10 lb. weight loss is normal from what I've read…
  • I don't have an answer, but I have the exact same problem! My stretch marks actually start bleeding if I run long enough. It's disgusting and really painful. I'll have to try some of these ideas! :)
  • This is so inspiring. I want to look like you - your body is incredible! Amazing job, congrats on your success! :)
  • Australian, hands down. I just spend two weeks traveling around Europe with a bunch of Aussies and I've decided that they're the most amazing people in the world.
  • You look absolutely incredible!!! congratulations!
  • I work at the front desk of a hotel too and I don't record any of the walking or standing that I do. It's part of my job, so I don't think it's necessary. My rule is that I only record actual exercise that I do - like, only if I purposefully set out to burn calories, if that makes sense. It's up to you, that's just what I…
  • I have the Implanon and I HATE it. For about 6 months, I had no period at all, but now it's extremely unpredictable - I'll have a horribly heavy one for 3 weeks, nothing for a month, a light one for 4 days, a heavy one for a week, etc... I never ever know what to expect so I just have to always be prepared. Also, before my…
  • My starting weight was 186 lbs (I'm 5'3). Right now I'm down to 156 and my goal weight is 135. I might go lower, but I'll have to see how I feel once I get closer to that weight. Feel free to add me! :)
  • One of my friends recently became a Beachbody coach and ever since then, ALL I hear about is Shakeology, Insanity, and Turbo Fire. Her facebook is constantly filled with posts about healthy food, working out, and... you guessed it... Shakeology. They try to sell it to anyone and everyone. I think they also get something…
  • Taking the "before" pictures was definitely a huge wake-up call for me. But I'm really glad I took them - I actually take pictures at the beginning of each month so I can really see my progress. It's been incredible motivation! Good luck! :)
  • I know how you feel. I work a LOT, so I like to use my time off to just relax at home. At this point, I don't really ever exercise. I'd like to start eventually, but I've been losing weight just fine without it. Plus, I stand up for 8 hours a day at my job... it's not easy! Anyway, what I do is bring in all my food with me…
  • "I can't wait until my vacation is over so I can go back to work!"
  • I absolutely LOVE the Hunger Games series. I've read all 3 of the books several times and I'm honestly in love with them, like there's no other way to describe it... I've never been this into a series before. They're extremely well-written and so easy to read for hours on end. If you like the first one, you should…
