I've definitely considered it. My girls are about a size smaller than they were before I lost my last 15 pounds but my problem isn't the size, it's that they look deflated like other women on this thread have talked about. It sucks because I love my weight now but my boobs looked better when I was heavier. I guess it's…

A blog I read foodbabe.com recommends fasting 12 hours per day (e.g. If you're waking up at 6 am to eat breakfast, stop eating at 6 pm). I try to follow that rule of thumb so for your case it would depend on when you intend to eat again.

I like red wine, but I always measure it and have between 3 to 5 ounces, depending on what I have left to fit into my macros. I also like vodka and seltzer water with some lime. If I drink beer, I drink Guinness. And generally, I only drink on the weekends, typically one night but sometimes both. Apparently I need to try…

This.

Did 110 squats last night. About 30 were squat jumps. They were part of a boot camp class I was doing anyway, and with everything else we did, I couldn't do any more jumps!

40 on each side. DONE!

75 squats done. Butt is starting to feel the burn!

Done and done!

I did Day 1 and Day 3, but ummmm... I don't know what a prisoner squat is?? So I did 60 standard squats.

Just did my 50! Probably could have done more, but I am going to bed!

Nikki Minaj - Did it on em Five Finger Death Punch - Bad Company Muse - Madness Karmin - I Told You So LMFAO and Lil John - Shots Portishead and Tori Amos (whole albums) I like to run to them

I'm super excited for this. I am guessing this is in addition to cardio and other exercises people are already doing?

I only weigh in the morning. I think it would be unrealistic to expect my weight to be the same in the morning and in the evening unless I fasted all day. Which I don't. :)

Yep. All the time. From friends, family, and co-workers. "You need to eat a cheeseburger or something!" "What ARE you eating?" "That looks nasty" "Don't invite her to lunch, she doesn't eat anyway" and on and on and on. My own daughter gave me grief because I turned down cake at a birthday party saying "my mom's just on…

What's your name? Hi, I'm Karen! Where do you live? Arizona What are your food vices/ cheats? Milano cookies, pretzels dipped in jalapeno cream cheese, flavored vodkas What do you think is holding you back from being in your TOP shape? If I had to pick something, it would be time. It can be difficult fitting a work out in…

I add chia seeds and almond butter to mine.

Oops! Just saw you already recruited a friend to go with you. Good! And I am glad you went back!

The thing I always try to remind myself is that in most situations, gym or otherwise, people are almost always thinking about themselves 90 percent of the time. They might glance at you for a split second, but they are probably only thinking of their next set, or what they are going to do next. Another thing you might try…

I do both. But I have to say I LOVE having my membership at the YMCA, mainly for the classes. I do a boot camp class, zumba, yoga, spinning, and tai chi, depending on how my weeks go. And having the child care option there means I can actually work out and my 3 year old can run around and have fun with other kids instead…

I don't refrigerate either after opening. I hate cold ketchup. It grosses me out. I rarely use maple syrup but I have never put it in the fridge. I have never had an issue and have always done it this way.

Bump your fiber goal up to 25 and try adding chia seeds to things like oatmeal and smoothies. Great source of fiber. Should help.

In my experience, people who are not also trying to lose weight or maintain any kind of healthy lifestyle will constantly give those people who do a hard time. That's why I shut my office door when I eat. People will literally walk by and critique what I am eating in a snotty way. "Why is your smoothie green???" "Look at…

I like some toasted Ezekiel bread topped with almond butter and sliced banana. This weekend I am going to make a clean eating blueberry french toast casserole from graciouspantry.com. Haven't made it yet but it sounds really good. Recently I also made a southwestern egg casserole dish on a weekend from the cookbook…

This is my go to coffee drink too :)

I count my almonds too :)

I forgot! Sometimes I also mix in a quarter cup of Trader Joe's Honey Sesame Cashews into my oatmeal. Sooooo good.

I typically eat a packet of plain instant oatmeal (cooked), with 1/4 cup of pomegranate seeds or blueberries or raspberries, coffee, and a hard boiled egg white. On weekends I like to eat 3/4 cup peanut butter or chocolate cheerios (same calories as original cheerios and they are multi grain) with 1/2 cup 1 % milk and…

I am 33 and 5'4" CW: 124 lbs HW: 145 lbs (after my second child, after I quit nursing) GW: 115 to 120 lbs (but I'm okay with my CW) I currently work out three to four times a week. Jogging, zumba, power yoga, spinning, some cross fit and minimal weight lifting. I would like to tone up, particularly my upper arms, butt and…
