You look fantastic!

The restaurant I eat at has a diet menu that is basically dishes prepared without the sauce. I usually get the veggies & scallops & only eat half the rice. Maybe you could ask for a dish with no sauce?

You are my hero!

I will admit that one of the reasons I asked is because I like the soreness! It's like a little badge of accomplishment. Thanks for the input, though, I just wanted to make sure that I was getting the benefit that I'm supposed to be getting from the workout. I'll keep truckin', and hopefully post some progress pics in 27…

You look amazing! You don't even look 205 in that after picture! Way to go!

Excellent. Thank you!

If you're not eating it because you want to, there is no point. Your friend will understand, just thank her warmly for the offer. I'm always turning things down!

I get up less than an hour before I run, so I don't eat until afterward. I don't like to have anything down the hatch within 2 - 3 hours of working out.

I love my overnight oats!

I had the same problem when I started running at 215 lbs. I was really worried that it was a stress fracture, because it was SO painful. In retrospect, I think it was a combination of my gait and my shoes. I can't stress the importance of shoes enough! I found that shortening my stride and running at a slower pace, with a…

You look great! Okay, I guess I'll break out the video and give it a try!

I don't understand what they mean when they say "real" tea vs "herbal" tea.

I would say you just need toning, not weight loss. You might lose some weight in the process, but your overall physique will change, and that will make you look thinner.

I would get a second opinion, possibly from someone that specializes in weight loss. Perhaps you'll find that this doctor was right... but hopefully you'll get usable information from someone who is less of a jerk about it.

Get a workout buddy. I get my butt out of bed without fail because I know she's on the way to go work out.

I don't make my rewards food related. It's a slippery slope for me. My first reward was to buy a new outfit for working out in. I think my next one is going to be a roller skating class (I never learned as a kid - my mom wouldn't let me go!). The one after that is to go through all my old clothes and get rid of anything I…

I have a secret weapon... a workout buddy. Seriously! I have been trying to develop a workout routine for the past year, and I haven't been able to. But now, when my alarm goes off at 5am, and I know that she's going to roll up at 5:05 to walk the dogs with me, I get my *kitten* out of bed. Someone else holding you…

I think that, if you follow your doctor's advice, and take the time you're on it to develop healthy eating & exercise habits, it will be a great asset to your health goals.

You could just add 200 or 400 more calories to the plan in healthy foods.

I like to mix them up with a little salsa and brown rice. There's also this muffin recipe: http://www.diseaseproof.com/archives/recipes-valentines-day-dark-chocolate-strawberry-muffins.html

Oh no! I missed the pictures! Can you re-post them??

Check out Eat to Live ( http://www.drfuhrman.com/weightloss/about.aspx ) Engine 2 ( http://engine2diet.com/ ) and Oh She Glows ( http://ohsheglows.com/ ) for lots of suggestions on healthy vegan eating. I recently went back to veganism, and I don't find it difficult at all. Oh, and Fat Free Vegan ( http://fatfreevegan.com/…

DAMN, girl! Way to go!

I think I fall into the "stinky & proud" category after a workout.

Logan (because I love Wolverine) Sprocket (because my boyfriend rides BMX)

Dang, mama! You look good!

I bring plenty of healthy snacks, and WALK AWAY from the temptations. The more distance, the better.

I'm a bit new here myself, and could use some encouraging friends, too! Add me!
