How long have you been stalled? I read on another blog here that women in their 40's can plateau for quite some time - even if you are doing everything correctly - until your body is ready to release more weight. I'm no expert, but the one thing I can say is please don't panic. That, for certain, will create mayhem for you…

Healthy oils, in moderation, are necessary. Try coconut oil for cooking (doesn't take much) and keep olive oil as a cold-eating oil. Olive oil changes molecular structure when heated, coconut oil does not. If you find ANY food on your list is preventing you from losing weight, try dropping it from your menu for a week and…

What he said! PERFECT!

Cardio helps burn calories. Weight training builds muscle, which burns fat. Proper nutrition (protein/fat/carbs) with a reasonable calorie deficit will help the scale move. Remember, though, it's not just about pounds - it's also about inches. If you're interested in the fitness aspect, a pound of fat takes up way more…

Way to overcome the nemesis/weakness! One day at a time... :)

Trying to remain kind and helpful here. First, congratulations on your weight loss and your decision that you were worth it. Creating a healthy relationship with food may help demystify things for you. It's okay that up to this point you've gotten this far, and it sounds like you recognize it's not a great choice for your…

I love your determination - so inspiring! You were gorgeous before, you still are - just in a smaller package. Glad you feel good in your own skin now. Cheers!

You look amazing! Good for you, and thanks for sharing your story. Condolences for the loss of your sister.

Although it's going to be different for everybody, I'm 5'3", and when I weigh 130# I look good and am between size 2-4 pants depending on the maker. When I get down to 120# or below I start to look like a stick figure.

I pack my weight in good. I'm 5'3" and when I weight 130# I wear a size 2-4, depending on the maker. When i get down near 120# or below I look like a stick figure.

What a great NSV (non-scale victory)!!! It will take your mind a bit to catch up/adjust to your new size. Own it - you earned it!

True that, Mrflash!

OMG - I completely hear you! Please know first that i dearly love him and am concerned he's killing himself from the inside out...I've got a great guy in my life, but I've considered moving on if he can't accept/embrace a healthier lifestyle. Our common interests and goals are becoming fewer & farther between now that I'm…

That's a FANTASTIC NSV! Good for you!!!

So inspirational, so motivational! You can tell just by reading this (and it was NOT too wordy - it was perfection!) that this is a lifestyle change with no U-turns for you, ever. A huge congratulations, and thank you for sharing your story!

Just did the fit test on Monday. Today is day 1 of the workouts. Yes - it was HARD. Yes - I sweat A LOT. Yes - I couldn't keep up. Yes - I wanted to throw up a few times. That being said, I KNOW that the next fit test will show an improvement if I just keep doing MY very best every day. Can't wait to see my measurements on…

Just started Insanity yesterday with the fit test. Today was Plyo & Core Cardio - I love this type of workout, and this one totally kicked my butt! Looking forward to seeing the progress through the next 60 days. Oh yeah, I'm 46 am looking forward to awesome results!

Sign me up! Just started Insanity yesterday!

I use coconut oil for cooking in place of olive oil, and it hasn't made me gain weight. I also use it in my protein shakes if I need the extra calories. It hasn't "flattened my stomach", but I haven't gain weight from using it either. I guess I'd say that if you got a fasting blood panel done, added coconut oil to your…

Stevia in the Raw granules are my sweetener of choice for everything. I don't care for the taste of liquid Stevia, personally. I steer completely away from artificial sweeteners (no Splenda especially) and I carry the Truvia packets with me when I'm on the go. My daughter has extreme reactions from artificial sweetners…

Sorry for the work situation. I'm not going to say anything that anyone else hasn't already. Just keep being the example; secretly your friend that wants help is just jealous. He'll come around, or he won't, depending on how badly he wants it. Keep on keepin' on! Awesomesauce!

I have heard amazing things about Shakeology (a Beachbody product). I personally use "Now Sports" 100% Whey protein isolate for breakfast. I like it because there are no additives; no flavoring, no artificial sweeteners, no added supplements. I can make it taste like whatever I want and it's chock full of protein. I…
