I have, like some other people, done better with eating clean rather than true low carb. I find that by eating clean I just naturally eat lower levels or carbohydrates. Basically I eat only "clean" carbs... so fruit, brown rice, oatmeal, sweet potato, occasionally granola.

Seeing pictures that were not at all how I envisioned myself looking, and the doctor telling me to lose some weight.

I am slowly getting more used to being the only chick in the free weight section. One day an older dude came and said hi and gave me a high-five and told me to keep up the nice work. This really helped me feel better about being on the "boy side", because it made me realize some guys think a girl lifting is cool and that I…

I haven't had: Any breaded chicken A Buffalo Wild Wings wrap (yum) Taco Bell Quesadilla Fast food fries Mac and Cheese (my favorite food!!!) In three months... and surprisingly I don't miss them as much as I would have thought!

Pigeon - she is a beautiful Maine Coon!

I eat under 25g of carbs two days a week at the moment. I do not eat beef, so you'll notice that most of meat is chicken, turkey, and shrimp. Below is what I tend to do: Breakfast: Kroger Carbmaster yogurt (only 4g!), string cheese, and/or nuts. Lunch: Chicken sausage or grilled chicken, 2 baby cucumbers, kale, and some…

So encouraging! Thanks for sharing!

Dance... so close! And I coach cheerleading now :) Totally dork theatre/dance kid and not popular in the least. Haha. @NocturnalGirl - Track

INSPIRING.... I hope that many people read this and are as inspired by your story as I am :)

I am all about a mani/pedi after I have busted my booty! I don't reward for losing pounds, but for having two good workout weeks in a row.

The dark chocolate ones are AMAZING.

Rumor Willis! Like, a lot.

I have the same issue. I have only lost about 5lbs in the last 6 weeks, but I can tell that there is a big difference in how my pants fit. I know a pound a week is healthy weight-loss... but I get frustrated because I see other people dropping weight like mad and mine takes FOREVER. I am trying to focus on how my body is…

Great tips! I unfortunately do not have a smart phone (boo) or that would have been my first go-to! I use MFP from my computer. I already don't eat condiments or dressing (I never have, I just don't like them) so I at least had that in my favor. I definitely need to start pre-dividing my food and boxing it right away. I…

I have recently become obsessed with the Better Oats, Oat Revolution packets. They are oatmeal with flax seeds added. They are only 130 cals!

I have been taking African Mango (without any other add-ins) for about a month. I have not really noticed much difference and have no idea if the weight I have lost in the past month really has anything to do with the mango or with my exercise/nutrition. The only thing I can say for it is that I do feel like I am less…

Hi everyone, My name is Jacquie and I am a second year teacher. This year I am teaching a combination 5th/6th grade class. Last year I taught 7th and 8th grade. I teacher special education, so every day is always interesting! I also coach J.V. cheerleading. I actually lost weight while student teaching because I was so…
