you look YEARS younger!! Well done!

get a lemon cake mix and instead of using any of the ingredients they ask you to add, add in one can of diet soda instead. Mix and bake as directed on box. You could get diet lemon soda for instance. This works for any cake mix and any diet soda. Use fat free cool-whip as a frosting. (google diet coke cake, you'll get a…

I would discuss this with your doctor and maybe enlist the help of a dietician and/or personal trainer. You have some things that are stumbling blocks (irregular periods, underactive thyroid, mobility problems) and I believe professionals could help you find a plan that works for you. in the end, everybody has cravings but…

this is the same with everything the FDA approves, including medications.

job well done. You look fab!

I swim 3-4 times a week because I've been advised to do no impact workouts (I have feet issues). I seriously LOVE swimming. Is there a way you can try out the pool and just pay for individual swims for a couple weeks and see how you feel about it? My upper body is so toned from swimming and I really do enjoy it. That said,…

hot tea works for me as well! I like lipton green tea with mint. yummy!

as you can see, everybody has their "thing" that works for them. That's what you need to find.. what works for YOU! If you try some of these things and one works but two othes don't, don't feel like YOU failed, it just isn't what works for you, your mentality, your lifestyle, your way of living. The important part is that…

the big picture is daunting. Try losing 1 pound. Make that your goal. You don't have to lose 50, 30, 20 or even 5 pounds, you just have to lose that one. When you do lose it, good for you. Now you have a new goal. You have to lose 1 pound. That's it. Again, not 50, 30, 20 or 5 just one pound. Be realistic. Some weeks no…

the sport drinks I can understand but the protien shakes, I'd like to read/see more about. Here is a link to the article online: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18863293

I'm also an immigrant, American living in Amsterdam, so howdy neighbor and welcome aboard!

you look amazing and good for you and your partner! Well done. Oh and your kids are gorgeous!

i'm going to try the Pina Colada one!

the only thing I can see that you're doing wrong is expecting "Biggest Loser" results from a simple, sustainable lifestyle change. 4kg in 5 weeks is actually a big drop, above average! Don't be discouraged, even though sometimes it's difficult. You're doing really fantastic things for your body. You're being mindful and…

I have alcoholism on both sides of my family and for this reason, I choose not to drink on a regular basis, meaning really only on special occasions. I do not want to end up having to ask myself "am I drinking too much". It seems like you're there... What would your quality of life/relationship be without alcohol? Is it…

so awesome!

you have taken years off of your face! you look amazing. Welldone!

evening works outs cause me not to sleep. Try working out earlier in the morning and see if that helps.

well you were gorgeous before and now... what else is there to say... WOWZA!!!! well done. You must feel so proud of your accomplishments. Well done.

2 months. we had only been in the same country as one another for 15 days of those two months. We've been married now for 7 years.

my mantra when I first joined was "this isn't about THEM, it's about ME" and I focused on that. What they say or think or do... you can't control that... you can only control what you are doing and what you are doing is something beautiful and healthy for your body and your life. You deserve that, don't you? I think so.…

AMAZING transformation! Well done you!

I also have a desk that I can stand up at and it makes a huge difference in my energy level I noticed. Objects in motion stay in motion and I believe the same is true for objects who aren't in motion! I generally stand for an hour in the morning and probably close to two hours in the afternoon. I accomplish more work while…

Stopping eating at 4 pm isn't doing you any good, in fact it may be doing you more harm than good. I had roughly 120 pounds to lose (I'm 40 down, woohoo!) and I eat every 2-3 hours without ever going over 3 hours without a snack or a meal. This is what I was taught at the clinic I went to for my food issues (binge eating,…

I actually disagree (in a way) with eating the same things, only smaller portions for meals. That leaves you hungrier, sooner, which then leads to you eating again earlier than if you would have had a properly portioned meal, therefore adding more calories unnecessarily. But I do agree that if you go for ice cream, have…

it's mental, get help. Not being snarky but it's all in your head.

welcome to the world of everybody being on your side!!! Congrats on your amazing loss and dedication. Can't wait to watch your journey and see how you progress.

bump I'm going to the US in a few weeks and may have to find these little gems.

Thank you so much for sharing your porgress and pics! I am not near brave enough to show my skin! You look fantastic!
