You look awesome!!!! Weight is just a number, and it is how you feel about how you look that is important!! Don't forget to take into account that you must have some lean muscle mass, because I also am 5'7" and weigh 148 now and I do not look anywhere NEAR that proportional (I am in a size 10-12, and even when I was 135…

My feet were getting numb in the shoes I was wearing so I tried several pairs till I found one where that didn't happen, standing further back on the pedals also helped. But... I still have problems with my HANDS getting numb on the elliptical!! I try moving their position every 5 minutes and this helps a bit but I'm not…

HUGE difference!!! :happy: You go girl!!!

oooooooooh BUMP!

Could you eat soft scrambled eggs, mashed up?

My fave now that I have stopped eating meat is Taco Bell's bean burrito, only 370 cal and it fills me up completely! When I ate meat (and before I started here) my "healthy" fast food choice was their Chicken Fresca Burrito at 350 cal.

You look fabulous! And I looove your top in the after pic!!

I am so glad to read these posts about eating during a 6hr period or so. I haven't been doing this on purpose, but since tracking my food have found that I am hungry from around 7am-noon, eat constantly for those 5 hours (about 1000 cal total) and then have a light snack every few hours the rest of the day. Cardio in the…

I agree with all this. He knows what he is doing but if he can't explain it to you so that you don't get frustrated and confused, maybe you should take that into consideration.

Thank you so much for sharing this!! I had not read this article before and it is SOOOO inspiring!! That's how I want to be!!

Viggo Mortenson in Eastern Promises. Furthest movie from a chick flick, huh? LOL. But he is so manly and has a nice backside...:bigsmile:

I've found the same reaction when I say I want to lose a few pounds or am trying to stay with healthy foods. But for some reason saying "I'm just not that hungry, I had a late/huge lunch" or "I'd love to have some but that kind of food gives me such bad gas!" always seem to quash any arguements!!

I am so glad to see all the 10+year age gaps that have worked! I am 41 and my boyfriend just turned 30. I used to only like older men, hooked up with my bf through chance and we have been together 5 years now and going strong. He is wiser and more mature than men I have dated who were 12 years older than me. So it really…

Just saw your latest post about what the situation was.... dang girl that woman was so nasty to you because she is jealous of you and way insecure!! It doesn't change anything about the situation, but, if it was me I think i would feel just a little bit better about the whole thing somehow if I could just keep that in…

Just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling badly and I can relate to that... when someone you care about even on a friend level seems to be choosing to spend time with someone who hurt you over you, it does hurt. It might be that your friend doesn't really mean to disregard your feelings and doesn't really…

OMG you look so much thinner and 15 years YOUNGER!!!! You are going to get carded all over the place now!!!! :wink: Absolutely inspiring! I hope I can see a difference that huge in only 6 months!

Bump!! Thanks!!

Thank you for sharing this!!! :happy:

OMG!! You SHOULD be happy!!! :happy: You look absolutely AMAZING! And in only 9 months what a transformation!!! You are truly inspiring!!!

My in-laws believe the more fat, butter, and sugar the better, and when I used to occasionally mention I didn't want to eat something because I was watching my weight, they would jump on me about being irrational and rationing food and tell me I was weird and crazy and lecture me. Now, I say "Sorry, I just find the taste…

OMG this is ME!!! I can't drive on any road where there are no shoulders or turnoffs, it is the claustrophobic trapped "no immediate escape" feeling but on top of that panic trying to keep control of a moving vehicle. And of course I get so terrified my vision starts blacking around the edges and I feel I am having a heart…

Nuts are GOOD fat though... and we need fat to function! And supposedly it even helps metabolism, or so I've read. Just keep to 1 or 2 servings/day and look at the total calories rather than the fat content. I know what you mean though, I have a hard time adding olive oil to foods that call for it since it is OIL even…

I usually eat about 50g of fiber each day and that seems to be perfect for my body. If my fiber intake drops to around 30g I get constipated! It is probably one of those things that has general recommended guidelines but is different for different people depending on their digestive systems. :ohwell:

I like having a serving of some kind of lower sugar cereal in the evening, or fruit. The carbs help me to fall asleep more easily. And, don't think of the two days as lost in terms of your diet because you didn't hit calorie goals, think of it as days spent productively through getting in the habit of tracking your food!…

I was told by my doctor that I should try not drinking water within half an hour after eating to see if I absorb more nutrients if my digestive enzymes are less diluted (I take a load of supplements and eat healthily but my skin and nails always look malnourished and my blood tests showed that even my salt levels were too…

LMAO!!!!! :laugh:

I am so inspired!! Awesome job in only 3 months, WOW!!! And the smile on your face in the new pics is beautiful too! :happy:

Awesome job!!! It's always easy to minimize the difference when looking at your own pictures, but *I* can see it!! Way to go! :happy:

Don't feel terrible, just think of it as a bit of extra fuel to do some extra cardio! One brownie won't get you off track! :smile:
