Weightlifting-squats especially, helped me a LOT. It isn't totally gone, but it isn't as noticeable now and is mostly gone from my upper thighs. Still on my butt, but at least that is covered, even in a swimsuit;-) I also changed my diet to include a lot more protein, less carbs(not NO carb-just lower and most of my carbs…

People I really knew, saw, shook hands with. Scarlett Teets (Married name, so cannot blame her parents.) **** Petit Why he didn't ask to be called Richard, I'll never understand Bambi Fawn

greens ground turkey seasoned with taco seasoning black olives tomatoes black beans maybe a bit of cheddar cheese dressing is non-fat greek yogurt and salsa.

Dill and salt is my go to

Crystal light makes a crystal light PURE which uses Truvia(stevia) and has no artificial flavors or colors. No, it isn't pure water, but it isn't laden with pure chemicals either. I have one about once a week when I want something sweet and fruity. The grape one tastes like grape kool aid, so a total "back to being a kid"…

Nice work!

Spirutein, but I'm not sure if it has lactose. Chocolate and Cherries Jubilee are both really good.

I hit 10 lbs lost and got a new pair of sunglasses. I refuse to use clothing as a reward as I hope to simply keep changing and getting more fit. I'll buy my clothes for cheap when I drop sizes. I also refuse to use food as a reward. Not sure what my next 10 lbs will be yet.

nuts-almonds and cashews mainly peanut butter Not in pantry, but greek yogurt, cottage cheese, grilled chicken, cheese, eggs

If you like salads and a variety, then make a "salad bar" at home. Get a bunch of containers and put in roasted corn, black olives, tomatoes, onions(mexican salad), baby corn, water chestnuts, mandarin oranges(chinese salad). Then, on the weekend, grill up 3 chicken breasts and cut them up. Season one with taco seasoning,…

Just move on. Seriously. Maybe drink a bit more water if it was due to a high salt content meal, but other than that, just say it was yummy(or make note that it made you feel like crap so you remember not to do it again) and have a great day today;-)

I wouldn't focus on calories unless you speak to your dr or a dietician about what your TDEE etc is and then add whatever number of extra calories you need for pregnancy. Focus on eating whole foods-basically if your great grandma wouldn't recognize it, don't eat it. Take a daily prenatal vitamin, talk to your Dr about…

The first few days I was having headaches and would take a few sips of a juice or put about a teaspoon of sugar in some coffee to stave them off. I think I did this for 3 days, then was totally fine, so a "weaning" worked for me.

Instead of focusing on exact amount of grams, you may want to use the nifty tool here and just change your percentages for fat, protein and carbs. Also, keep in mind you still have to be mindful of the carbs you do choose. oatmeal packs a bigger punch than a donut;-)

Amazing!

You;re so cute and tiny like I wanna put you in my pocket!

AWESOME transformation!

Go to a RUNNING store and be fitted for walking shoes. How you walk is different from everyone else, as is how you run. What works for these people may not work for you.

Can you go on other forums(or here) and see if you can borrow a suit from someone or buy one used at a reduced price? For the spray tanning-I'm new, so take this with a grain of salt, but i've heard of people using the good stuff in the bottle and applying themselves with help from a hubby or the like, especially for the…

We LOVE these here-fake California rolls lump crab(get crab legs and take the meat out) cucumber avocado take a piece of the crab and a small piece of avocado. Using a veggie peeler, peel the cucumber so there is no skin. THen take the peeler and run it the length of the cucumber to make a shred-try to get it as thick as…

It had no taste?? It is really good sauteed with soy sauce, butter and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

I, personally could hardly walk after the 1/2, so I have no idea how people went to DL and CA after the race. If you stay at the Embassy, will they have transport to the race? If they don't, keep in mind parking will be $15 for the race. You'd also have to go get your race packet at some point, but you can probably pick it…

I just sent you a friend request. I'm a newbie, so won't be able to help with questions, etc, but I'll be a great cheerleader if you need one:-) Or if you need someone to kick your butt, I can do that too! I'd love to stalk your diary, see your workouts and learn from you as well.

I'm doing at least a gallon a day right now.

We cannot answer unless we know your goals. 65% fat to me is CRAZY. I'm wondering what the goals of that poster are. If your goal is to maintain muscle mass while losing fat, then your protein intake should be around 1 g of protein/pound of weight in order to prevent as much as possible your body pulling lean muscle mass…

PLEASE go get fitted. If they have a pair of Asics that fit your strike pattern, etc great. If not, get another brand. I listened to someone say Saucony were the best things ever. I bought a pair and I literally got 1/2 mile into a run and had to walk home. ALL brands change their shoes slightly over each new release, so…

I think people should post where they live. I live in Orange County, CA, so driving for 20 min to get somewhere is NOTHING. It takes me 20 min to get to Target, 10 to the nearest grocery store. My closest gym is about 8 min by car, but I didn't like it there. My new one is about a 15 min drive. People may scoff at me…

I prefer dumbells to the barbell, but I'm at 25 lbs each hand and can do 3 reps. I laugh a bit, but several months ago I could barely do 20 lb at 3 reps, so i'm happy. I do both compound and isolation lifts.

Banana bread! I about died when I logged my recipe and servings.

Look on the jar. It will say "Serving size" Usually it will say like "5 pieces" or "5 pieces and 1 tablespoon juices" No pickle I have ever found INCLUDED the juice. Bread and butter pickles are NOT good diet choices-but are oh so yummy.
