I'm so sorry, this is very sad :-( maybe you are better off without her. May be hard to imagine right now but there IS a woman of your dreams who will support you in your HEALTHY journey not drag you down. Hugs...

Did that work? Sorry so big if so http://www.saycheeseandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/50lost.jpg there's the actual link to the image if the above is too big to see

Congrats! Amazing!

Last week I celebrated the 50 pound milestone! Woohoo! There is a before/after in my profile but ill add it to the thread soon!

I pretty much agree with what everyone else said, especially the diet and time. Eat whole foods, a clean diet. It's not hard and actually very yummy. Allow yourself a treat every once in a while, not every day. Incorporate upper body weight lifting if your injury is down low (you didn't say?), most if the calories from…

Aww, thank you *blush*

"You are stronger than your excuses" "I can do anything I set my mind to" And "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

You are amazing! This is the journey I'd like to take too! I'd love to talk to you!

Thank you guys :-) I am my own worst critic but I am proud to accomplish what I have! I'm thinking of taking it a step further and doing a competition...maybe! Scary!

So inspirational!!

Great post. 1200 calories is for the birds :) I'm 5'7, 128 and never eat less than 1600 per day. I'd say I eat anywhere from 1600-2600 on any given day, and I have steadily lost weight :) I exercise too though.

Of course I eat protein, not on a juice fast. But saying "juicing is incredibly unhealthy" is pretty ambiguous. First of all, not everyone who juices, ONLY juices, in fact I'd wager that most incorporate it into an otherwise healthy diet, like me. For me it's a way to get a carb boost before the gym and the nutrients from…

I'm no help, I just ate peanut butter cups! And an orange and hummus. Still under!

I teach BODYFLOW and I think it's amazing obviously ;) try it! It's a great workout and has changed my body (and life) tremendously. I used to do Pump followed by Flow 2x a week. I still do flow 2-3x a week but lift on my own. I also do cardio classes and have just started ashtanga yoga :) Les Mills instructors love new…

Hmm, strange! I was pretty sure carbs provide energy and I've been juicing for months with tons of stamina, muscle building, weight loss. In fact in the past 6 weeks I've gone from 21% body fat to 16%. I start every morning with a fresh green juice. It gives me tons of energy for cardio :) I'd like to see your statements…

Thank you! Isn't it late for coffee?? :)

Thanks! But um, I want to look like you! Well, the female version :) I love muscles!

Lol this made me laugh! I'm definitely 30. Don't feel like it though! But hey 30 year old women are in their prime so I proudly own it!

Looking great! Keep up the good work :) add some core work. It changed everything for me!

You are all so kind and awesome! Thank you!!

Thank you all :) I lost the first 20 pounds (175 to 155) while I was breast feeding and making healthy food choices. In September I quit my job at a dental office (I was only working 2 days a week) and made a commitment to myself to use the child care and go 5-6 days a week. I wasn't tracking food but I was working out…

Thank you! You can do it :) I'm 5'7

Thank you! I am...I love looking at the pictures, to remind myself of what I accomplished, but yet, I kinda feel like I cheated! I had so much fun in the process and made so many friends that it wasn't as "bad" as what I always imagined it'd be to go through!

Love that!! <3

It was the last 5 pounds that really made the difference. Don't give up hope! I'm still *hoping* for a miracle that they disappear someday...fat chance, haha!

<3 <3

thank you! I didn't do ANY workouts before! At least not then, not anything but walking from place to place as necessary. Before I gained weight, I used to do spinning. Not really sure that had any long term effect on my legs though! I also played softball as a teenager Now, I do a variety of Les Mills classes (BODYATTACK,…

I posted them here! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/892133-my-transformation

I Love ATTACK! If I go to another training, that will probably be it. Or CXWORX. Haven't tried bodystep as our gym doesn't have it, but I'm going to the LM quarterly in 2 weeks so I'll try it then!

Awesome! I have been wondering what the LM Combat at home thing is like but I'm not willing to spend the money when I can do it for free at the gym, hehe Training is...tiring, humbling, fun, amazing! It's 2 full days, starting with a masterclass and then lots and lots of learning and technique/form critique, lots of…
