First of all, I'm not saying you should stop drinking wine, but a few glasses a night might be your issue. There's usually about 120 calories per 6 oz glass of wine. Most people pour a glass that is much larger than that. Could you maybe limit yourself to 1 glass on the week days and then let yourself indulge on weekends?…

Awesome job!! You can really see a difference. And totally not relating to weight, but I LOVE your hair. So jealous!

I really try not to take a "cheat day". That said, I do think it's important to let yourself indulge on occasion so that you won't end up bingeing on something just because you've been keeping yourself from having it. I think the way to accomplish a cheat day or cheat meal is to plan for it during the days before. If you…

Congrats on your weight loss! I'm terrible at sleeping. There is just not enough time in the day. I would do so much better if days were 30 - 35 hours long. I actually notice the opposite than most people when it comes to sleeping & diet/weight loss. When I'm on my usual schedule of 4ish hours a night, I tend to eat less,…

The number of calories you burn will vary greatly depending on your height, weight, age and the difficulty level of the workout. Generally you'll burn about 100 calories per mile run (this is true for both an elliptical, treadmill or outdoor running). If you increase the resistance or push yourself to run faster, you'll…

Popcorn is always a great snack if you're just feeling like munching on something. You can get good low-fat varieties, and it has a lot of fiber in it, which is great. If you want it to be a bit sweeter, try kettle corn. I know you're trying to avoid carbs, but the amount of fiber in popcorn will keep you full and you can…

I'm 5'7" and my goal is to get somewhere around 115 - 125. I think you just have to go with what looks good on your body. For me, I'm worried 115 may be unhealthy skinny, and I'm currently focusing on building muscle, so I may never drop that low. Good luck!

I definitely focus on drinking at least 2 liters of water a day. I just carry a 1L water bottle around with me everywhere I go, and then I fill it up when I finish it. It has definitely made a difference for me every time I've tried to lose weight. You retain less water and you also feel more full.

I kind of fell off the wagon due to business trips and an injury, but I'm starting up again today after work! I'm following my progress in my blog if anyone wants to follow along!

Most diet pills are essentially a bunch of caffeine, possibly with a gentle laxative and other chemicals in them. If you're looking for an energy boost or to detox or whatever, just try to stick with black coffee or some herbal teas. There really is no miracle pill, but caffeine has been shown to temporarily increase your…

Honesty if a medical professional told you you were at a healthy weight, I'd seriously take that into consideration. At my lowest weight I was on the very low end of a healthy BMI, but a few of my doctors felt I had dropped to an unhealthy low weight, so now I've adjusted what I think of as a healthy weight for my specific…

Wow, you look great!!

If it's just half a pound I'd say it's probably as simple as your scale not being too accurate. Try weighing in, stepping off for a few minutes, and weighing in again and see if it the number is consistent. Anyways, I wouldn't worry about it at all. This post did make me laugh though. Especially the bit about the cat.…

I don't usually notice much of a change, although my period tends to all but disappear when I'm working out regularly, so that may be part of it. I guess if you have cramps or nausea maybe you should take it easier - try pilates or yoga or something a bit more relaxing maybe?
