Hi there! I'm going to send you a friend request. I'm 37 and follow Bright Line Eating which is based on OA principals. I need friends too.

I think you look beautiful in your photo!

I think I love you.

Folgers Black Silk with Southern Butter Pecan creamer. Tasty goodness!

AWESOME! I love seeing heavy lifting results and yours are great. Congrats!

I ~LOVE~ this thread! Thank you all for sharing!

bumping for later!

You are super beautiful at any size! Your arms rock in the second to last pic :) Great job!

Heh. I have this and it's still in the package, never been opened. Once I kick this flu out of my body I will open it and give it a go!

So inspiring! Thank you for sharing. I am 5'6.5" and have similar goals. Hope I end up as successful as you! How did you do it?

Holy crap! You are beautiful and inspiring!

I didn't read through all 500 posts of the other one, but I'm curious if the OP has kids? I think it's too easy to point the finger when you haven't walked in someone else's shoes. My son is only 3, but I have learned that my responsibility is to make sure healthy food is available to him and to structure meals and snacks…

OK. I've been thinking about this all day and here's what I've come up with: I weigh 155 lbs and my BMR is 1435 cals. Maintenance is 1790. So I set my goal to maintenance and my activity level to sedentary. My goal will be to eat around 1435 leaving me a deficit of 355 on non-workout days. If I burn more than 645 cals in…

I have been starting and stopping 30 ds for a while now... would like to start again tomorrow as well! Let's do this! So far I've only done level 1 and let me tell you, it makes me SORE! For days. But I have seen results. I have chest muscles for the first time in my life, as well as some pretty good definition in my arms…

Bump!:)

When I went through my divorce a couple of years ago, I wasn't hungry either. I remember having to force myself just to eat a few bites at a time. I wasn't tracking calories or anything at that time, so I have no idea if I was under or not. I would just try to remember to eat, even if very little, every few hours. This is…

Idk about pills but when I first started the ring, it made me RAVENOUS for a good month... then it subsided.

Chicken taco soup, with guacamole :) Mmmm.....

Sweet.

Woohooo! Great job! I love that "runner's high."

Haha! I didn't think of that at the time. He just quit smoking not too long ago, so I should tell him that offering me sweets right now would be like me offering him a cigarette!

I have the 5 Mile Fat Burning DVD and love that I can do it at home, with my toddler! He walks with me and does the kicks in his own little way, and that makes doing it even more fun :)

You know, Cadbury egg season is tough for me too. I already had one binge on them and felt so ill afterward.

The salad I ate today was amazing! It has tons of spinach, broccoli slaw, shredded carrots, shredded red cabbage, scallions, crumbled goat cheese, sunflower seeds and olive oil/vinegar dressing. I ate a whole, whole lot of it, too! Mmmm.....

If I had to eat FF ranch I would do without :( It's gross.

Brownies!

I'm in the same boat! Just got over bronchitis and an ear infection only to catch the mother of all head colds. I haven't exercised much because I am so exhausted that I can barely make it through the day just doing the minimum amount of tasks (go to school, take care of kid, go to bed when he does). I decided I wanted all…

I have been doing 30DS noncommittally since the end of December and am still only on level 1 (several bouts of sickness have kept me from really going after it) but just last night, I noticed that I can see muscles! I have chest muscles now :) I can only imagine what I might look like after completing all the levels. It's…

That is exactly what I do as well. I don't think you can bypass the intro :(

This is really interesting! I'm 5'6.75" and weigh 147. Currently wearing loose size 6 jeans. My 4's are tight but I can get into them. A few years ago I weighed 140 and my 4s were comfy. That's what I'm aiming for again :) Shirts are small since I have no boobs anymore. I don't wear dresses much. My LBD is from Wal-mart…
