  • Thanks ladies :) I used that calculator and adjusted my calories waaaaaayyyy up from where I was. I'm gonna try that for awhile, I totally can see the perspective of eat more to weigh less but of course there is always the fear of what 'eating more' consists of, ie: weight gain. However, I am pretty happy with my weight at…
  • Me toooooo!!! I just posted questions about this too: "Ok so I've lost just over 20 pounds in 6 months and built a lot of muscle, I've gone from doing very minimum exercise to slowly working upto running 3 times a week, some crossfit and weight training 3 times a week, and on off days doing jillian or whatever I get the…
  • I did at the beginning when I was more insecure and just getting started, now....the sweatier the better I think, like someone else said...proud to enter beast mode!!!!

I started at 167 in December and just the other day surpassed 150 and hit 149.5, I don't care that it;s only by .5, its a damn nice number and I too was thru the roof :), I have about 9.5 to go to my goal!!! So congrats again and holy crapola 30 pounds!! Atta girl!!!
  • I use it and really like it, the taste is awesome. I am not using it strictly like on their body by vi challenge 2 shakes a day thing but my mom is and she has lost 30 lbs in about 4 months I think, She's done really well, she does 2 shakes a day plus her snacks and a healthy dinner. She looks and feels great. She won't be…

  • Thanks guys, you've given me lots to think about and look up online :) Time for me to step it up!! Isn't it funny how you set a goal sometimes and it turns into something totally unexpected?? I just looooove the rush of the weights and exercises;) and PS: I guess I didn't mean body build professionally or anything I meant…
  • I am just looking into it, I think I will give it a shot!!
  • ya my mom and I were just talking about that too, she is heavier then me and when we exercise together her calorie burn is more then mine, I was really confused at the beginning lol.
  • 3 sets of 20 jumping jacks.
  • Lol some of these topics sure get heated. Going by the title of what the original post is about 'anyone on here not looking to be a size two' I have to say 'me!!' I'm 5ft2 and a half and 155pnds and a size 6 or 7 (canada) and was very happy to see this topic (for the most part lol), I have seen lots of posts for my height…
  • I don't really have any advice for you but hang in there....I was really frustrated at the beginning too, I made tons of changes and nothing nothing nothing on the scale, maybe a pound or two here and there, even my measurements although they have changed it has been nothing drastic. Go figure though, I have gone from a…
  • Oh that is great work!!!! My stomach is my main goal too, everything else is just a bonus lol. You look fantastic!!!!
  • Now I want to go read!!!! I'm addicted, I rarely watch tv cause I love to have my nose in a book. I've just put your grand dad's book on my list as it is right up my alley of what I like to read, I love history and war books!!! Lately I read the hunger games series (LOVED the first, LIKED the second and not a fan of the…

  • That sucks!! Some people are so dumb!! No offense but I don't really care what you eat for breakfast (unless of course you wanna share, I'm sooooo in for cheesecake for breaky!!!), I'm guessing because you are on here you are focusing on your health and I'm pretty sure you're an adult and can make your own decisions!!…
  • cream in my coffee, not milk but cream lol, half and half, but I've been trying to find a good switch, coconut milk is pretty good.
  • This is a tough one for me, I tried a few things and no luck it's just not the same, I use half and half which is still like 30 calories + or something and I have several cups a day working 12 hour day and night shifts and having 4 kids, anyways, this morning I tried organic coconut milk which is only 5 calories and I was…
  • I disagree, I do think you can make them go away. That's been my first area that I have noticed a big change. I know that you can't 'spot reduce' per se but I do believe emphasizing certain excersises can help. I do a lot of oblique exercises in almost every workout. I just googled 'love handle exercise' and obliques and…
  • That's so awesome!!! Congrats
  • Me too, 5ft2 and I'm at 153 and looking to hit 140, I cant even imagine me at 120, I guess I'll see what 140 looks like and go from there. Good luck everyone!!!
  • Made it, liked it and will make it again!! Thanks
  • I'm gonna whip this up tonight when I get home from work. I will be getting home late from work and everyone will have eaten already so I'm gonna scale portions down and make some for tonight and then have leftovers for work lunch tomorrow. Thanks!!
  • I have four kids and work full time 12 hour shifts so I can totally hear where you are coming from. I can't get to the gym, I know that we have to make time for ourselves and blah blah blah but i really dont like spending the time away from them to drive to the gym (it would be min 15 minute drive each way) then the actual…
  • Ive been reading over a bunch of posts today and it seems there is a lot of focus on being rude instead of constructive criticism, it's kind of sad. Maybe its just a bad day I hope anyways, makes me not want to be posting much :(
  • This is so hard to remember, thanks for posting this, my scale has not moved a lot and even my measurements arent really changing, but my jeans have gone down two sizes, my stomach is a bit smaller and I have way more muscle, I feel healthy and can see lots of muscle (I look tough now, lol) I'm not concerned what weight I…
  • Never heard of this blog but checked it out and I'm so excited, I'm a recipe addict and found tons to try on here.
  • Woohoo, you are super organized. Let me think what I have in my locker, 100 cal popcorn packs on the nightshifts, oatmeal packets (can make your own and prepackage in ziplocs), almonds, pumpkin seeds, different green teas, wasa bread (i like with avocado ((which I usually bring in at the beginning of my week and just slice…
  • I'm 5ft 2 and currently 157 :( my goal is between 135 and 140 I think but I will see when I get there hopefully one day lol
