This is exactly how I feel. I still go out to eat, a lot, but not as much as I use to. I still eat candy and cake and all that, I just allow myself to have the time to workout and the cals to eat it with. I am trying to eat cleaner but it has taken me a year and a lot of hard work to get to this point. Don't judge others,…

SOOOO PROUD OF YOU! :) I'm so glad you stuck to it! My arms were like that too...really flabby...and then BAM! After working more weights into my workouts and doing jillians stuff my arms are all buff and stuff! :) I flexed last night and was amazed at how much muscle I have now :) LOVE the profile picture!!! SO…

Why the focus on the carbs? We are giving the allotment to follow...for example I get to eat 187 carbs a day...and usually I don't reach that. My main focus is on Sodium intake and on Calorie intake. And even then I don't so much focus on Calories intake as much as I do Net Calorie intake. The Net calorie intake should be…

1. How old are you? 24 2. What is your body shape? PEARS UNITE! :) lol umm yeah my hips and thighs and butt are huge! 3. Has diet or exercise made more of a difference in your weight loss? What else has worked? YES! I have lost incrediable inches in my waist and hips...not so much in the thighs...idk what to do about them…

I would like to thank the academy (that'd be MFP friends) for pushing me when i felt like giving up, and a huge hello to my family who I know love me and care about me even when I was a pound heavier. To my fiance' thank you for making me eat in last night instead of going to Arby's. This really couldn't have been…

You may be eating 1200 cals but are you netting 1200 cals a day? You need to look at your homepage and make sure that the bar at the top says you are netting 1200 cals or more a day...don't go under. Make sure your sodium is down too.

get 3lbs weights if you aren't use to weights (I am used to 5lb weights and that was really hard). Good luck! :) It will give you awesome results! :)

Fruits :)

Thank you!

I finsihed 25 days (had to stop due to some personal things going on in my family). I plan on taking it up again soon. You will lose inches if you just follow MFP and do 30 day shred...you will lose pounds if you do the shred and also incorporate some more cardio on your own. I did cardio before and you can see I lost…

Actually a lot of people lose weight while doing the walking DVD's because they are higher intensity walking (you are walking 4.5 - 5 mph) plus she boosts you at the end. You do more then just walk, it uses all types of muscles, plus it tones you up. I look 100% better after using Leslies dvds then I did when I was just…

Leslie has a walking dvd (I believe) with children involved...she also encourages children to walk with you if they are in the room...they might get a kick out of walking a little with you...:) just some thoughts :) (I love Leslie Sansone - starting a month of leslie this May)

You look great! Keep it up! :) You can def tell a huge difference! :)

We just take Chicken breasts and put the pampered chef rub that we like and sprinkle that on it on both sides, and put it on the grill...in 15 min or so we have 4 chicken breast, 2 for supper, and 2 for lunch the next day for(one each for each of us :)) Easy and quick :) and good :) eating my chicken breast for lucnh now…

Also I just saw the dress...with that fabric...go with the largest...that fabric is hard to go and let that out if you don't quite make it to the 12 by August...I am trying to lose weight for my wedding in August and my dress fits just a slight bigger...I am still worried about going up a size, so it gives me motivation to…

I am a bride and have delt with this with all of my bridesmaids....the alterations departments perfers that you go larger then smaller, because they can always make the dress smaller, but they CAN'T make it larger no matter what. I am not saying you can not make it down to a lower size, it is just better to play it safe…

I just started it today...I can do the cardo not a problem...the push ups and strength kill me...I just recently was able to do a push up (the girl kind) so now that it is in this video maybe I will be able to do them better and more...I did maybe a little less then half that of what she wanted us to do. It killed me.

RHerrin5 - I always wondered about this too...but I just don't want to knock a good thing lol :) So I just log it like I calculated the miles with the timing and got 5.0 mph...so I don't know. If you figured it out, you know I want to know too :)

This is what I use when I want to start looking like I have a tan since Tanning bed scare me...though I will probably have to do a fake bake before the Honeymoon...but I don't really want too...for my hands, I would only put a small amount on them, and I washed them like crazy, and I only do them every other day. My elbows…

If you feel really awkward about (trust me I was there with ya) just start at home. Try Leslie Sansone (wakling DVD's) to build up your immunity to walking at a fast pace and putting jogging in there at times too. Then after about a month of her (after you've lost all this weight - because trust me, you will when you walk…

I totally agree. I tried the Special K diet...I was uber hungry all the time, and I was SO tired of what I had to eat (which after 3 days of eating the same thin becomes SO boring!)

Go to the wedding channel website...that is where I found out about it...but I haven't seen that many reviews, so I am skeptical to buying it right now. What day are you getting married in August? I'm getting married August 6th, 2011 :)

For all of those who posted, the article along with this post gives ideas on what you can do to help with the winter blues. For Heathersmilez: I'm glad that you love winter, so do I, but if you read the article you would see that it can cause some of us depression, and because we aren't out in the sunlight we can become…

You are looking fantastic! P.S. LOVE the dress! :)

Thanks Kat! You know I couldn't have done it with out you! :)

francesstewart1: Hey...all I did for workouts was walk with Leslie Sansone (her video), jog in place, lift weights, do squats, and crunchs...that's it...that's my workout regime that I've done since starting MFP. Right now I don't even do the video....I just jog and do the rest. :) Plus my love handles have go down a…

That's GREAT! :) I never thought of that before...makes perfect sense! :) I have lost 22lbs...that would be A LOT to carry around on a weight...thanks for putting it in perspective! :)
