Chobani with fruit on the bottom :love: It's really yummy. I've tried a lot of other brands and never really liked them. My favorite is the one with blueberry.

For the rest of my life, I have to keep moving. I need to get into good shape, be flexible, and stay away from being sedentary because my knees are constantly fighting me. If I don't work out for 2 or more days...I can feel it. It's not a bad thing, I want to stay active for life.

I love this show...it's so much more real than a lot of other weight loss shows. I also love Chris Powell's motivational speeches :)

Philanthropist, for sure. I can say that I would enjoy researching charities and start up businesses to donate to/invest in :) I think I could do a lot of good...I don't understand millionaire/billionaires that don't give anything back.

Salad Homemade Chicken Jambalaya Whole Grain Rice Grilled Asparagus w/olive oil & spices Yum :)

Haha and here I thought I took a walk on the wild side with alligator! I really liked alligator though...kinda like a spicy chicken/pork flavor.

Sounds good, bump :)

Bump. Sounds yummy :)

I'm really hoping that these things are my problem right now! Just frustrating.

Thank for the links, I watched them. Very interesting, especially the part about the calcium rich diet.

Bump :) everything looks great!

Bump :) looks delicious

I've actually made this before...almost exactly. It's delicious :)

Hey there, I had surgery less than a year ago to repair my knee (work injury). I second the advice about the upper body strength training & swimming. It'll make the process a lot easier if you can stay physically active in some way. Make sure you find a good place for physical therapy after the surgery!!!! I cannot stress…

Ooo now I'm excited :) Thanks everyone!!!

Hey, it's okay! I'm glad I'm not the only person having that thought lol. I swear, everyone I looked at looks smaller than me...and I'm not having "body vision" issues haha. Oh well, that's what I'm here to change :)

Thank you everyone :) made my day haha

Keep up the good work! You look awesome, you can really tell the difference!!!

Thank you everyone!!!! Pics are fixed now haha.

Fit Kid: I really want to start. I'm probably going to have to work up to that though (dumb bells and such) because I really don't have much upper body strength. What are some good things to do?

RoundRock thanks for the kettle ball idea!

I almost considered buying these as well, but they kind of freaked me out. I've just heard to make sure you rinse them a TON because they smell weird from the package water. :sick:

I hear ya, I hope you don't have to do that :( I'll eventually (probably) have to have a knee replacement as well. I'm only 21 though, so I'd like that to not be happening anytime soon. Losing weight will definitely reduce my pain, but it's very unlikely that it will get rid of it. It definitely slows down my weight loss…

I'd say add in some lower body strength training. When you build muscle it really helps with burning calories + firming. Hope this helps :) congrats on your weight loss so far!

Taco Salad...Yum :) Lean ground beef Ro-tel tomatoes and peppers Black Beans & Corn Salsa Small amount of velveeta 2% On a huge bed of baby spinach and spring mix

I am such a pear lol. But I think I have the potential to move more towards the hourglass side :)

Holy cow. I just want to say thank you for giving me the motivation to be extremely conscious about my food, seriously.

You look awesome! Way to go!!!!!

I can imagine how hard that is, and I bet its a bit discouraging. But, she is doing it for the same reason that everyone else may get down on you about losing weight. She is intimidated and she's jealous. Intimidated by how successful you are with this and also that you found the drive to do it. She's jealous because she…

I just made this for dinner tonight, really good! Tasted like it was something I shouldn't be eating haha. My boyfriend liked it too.
