I LOVE IT! Hands down one of the best programs I've started (and actually stuck with for once!) The legs look great, and I can barely start to see def. in my arms. If the appearance change is minimal, the strength gain is much better than that! My bf is my trainer, he's a PT so I figure he knows what he's talking about. :)…

Also, try going by inches, not pounds! I bet if you're strength training and the such, you are losing inches. She will only end up just "skinny fat" with no strength or definition.

She'll gain it back. Sounds like she's starving herself to beat you. The longer it takes to come off, the longer it will stay off! :) Don't fret!

DO strength training!! Eat lots of veggies - lots of color, the more the better! (and not the Cheetoes kind of color!) :wink:

Biking. It's easy on your knees and a great source of cardio.

PS the veggie mix is fresh, not frozen.

I love their pre-packaged stir fry veggie mix. Get that, along with some teriyaki marinated tofu for an awesome and super quick stir fry! Also, LOVE the powerberries! (They're in a purple bag.) The white balsamic is excellent for veggies and marinating (and cheap!) And of course the WINE SELECTION!! Basically everything…

That sounds like so much fun!! I would suggest "Under the Sea" definitely, and also "Be Our Guest"...both have a pretty quick beat!

My face gets REAL red for about one or two glasses...by the third it's faded though. lol I heard it's an allergic reaction.

Feta and goat cheese might be on there? I'm not positive though.

Cookinglight.com is my #1. skinnytaste.com is my #2 :)

Spinach! Now I love it in every form!

Chicago, Chicago...Wicker Park to be exact.

I just did a stir fry last night...hard to screw up! Just buy the veggies you want, add the protein (I did teriyaki marinated tofu, and a bit of chicken), and stir fry it up in some olive oil/light soy sauce! I also added some garlic powder and ginger powder to taste, and some crushed red pepper for a kick. It turned out…

I LOVE asparagus drizzled with light balsamic, and grilled, lightly sprinkled with some parm. My favorite way to eat it, and in the summer it's a great side! Replace balsamic with lemon juice for an even lighter option! YUM! It's probably my favorite vegetable! :smile:

BUMP...anyone?? :-/ grr.

Pineapple chicken salad (everytime I make it, people GOBBLE it down) Boiled/shredded/cubed chicken Crushed walnuts Crushed pineapple (DRAINED) a PINCH of sugar Relish White onion TINY bit of salt Black pepper to taste Miracle Whip Mix it all up and I serve on light Hawaiian rolls as mini sliders. (Good for portions!) :) I…

Did I mention I really want to get my arms/shoulders toned for summer?? lol...tank top motivation...

I just bought a resistance band with handles and a door mount for $17. Nice because as I progress I'll be able to switch them out on the cheap!

Cottage cheese Sweet potatoes Radishes (weird, I know, I just like the kinda spicy!) Jicama with horseradish dip

Just what I needed to pick my motivation back up! Thanks girl, and you're awesome! :) Would you mind sharing recipes/favorite foods/etc. that helped you stay in that range? I am at a 1200 limit as well right now without working out and would love to know how you did your meals. (I have about 15-20 to lose but it still…

I totally get you. He incredulously commented the other night how i "wouldn't even have ONE chip!" While we were on our way to a giant homecooked meal. Apparently he couldn't wait a half hour. I don't think he gets what a "trigger" is... and his eating/snacking after 9 doesn't help me either. Any suggestions? I like to…

I always make sure to have essential salad stuff- lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions. Chicken breasts are always in my freezer, its easy to throw together a quick marinade in the morning ready to go when i get home. For snacks i get the light laughing cow cheese and wheat unsalted crackers, and i love those del monte…

Definitely a trigger for me as well! Good work! I had a similar success at breakfast yesterday...talked myself (aloud) out of the hash browns and ordered the fruit side instead.

Just started tracking on here just over a week ago. SW: 155 CW: 151 GW: 135 We'll see how long I stick with it! Keeping the motivation is huge for me, but seeing pics is always good! I took my "before" pics a couple days ago. Not posting on here until there is a noticeable difference!

I get you! What I do is cook in bulk and them I have portion ready leftovers in tupperware containers the rest of the week. Quick in a pinch too! I have also learned to cut recipes as well. And if I just make too much I either share it with my sister or bf (they're my cooking guinea pigs!) Or freeze it for later.

I like pineapple, peaches or pears. Or just plain with black pepper (I know it sounds weird, but that started in college. :) )

I'm 28, 5'5" and have about 15-20 that I want lose. Feel free to add me!

Weddings are great motivation! I have 4 more lined up this year, and the wedding circuit is hitting me hard mentally. All my friends somehow got into serious relationships and got fit and amazing looking, while I got bigger and happy in my relationship! Now every time I see them I'm a pound or two more. My boyfriend eats…
