it's worse when protein is red and shown as negative, same with fiber. that's a GOOD thing. it should show as a positive green damnit!

peanut butter! i have 1/2 a whole wheat english muffin with PB and bananas on top every day.

"You will never regret a workout" "you're only one workout away from a good mood" *so true! working out puts you in the best mood!* "the only way to finish your workout is to start" so many!!

Definitely a noticeable difference! Keep it up girl!

Wow!!! You look amazing. Great journey!

I was the same way! I grew up in a very small town and I knew everyone. I was afraid to go for runs because I was just starting out and not very good. I didn't want people I knew to drive by and see me! I actually started using a personal trainer in another town about 15 minutes away so I didn't care who saw me. Now I…

Wow you look great!!

To mimic what other people have said: I'm not doing this to be "skinny." I'm doing this to be fit, healthy, and most importantly, to be confident in my own body. If that means being "skinny," then so be it.

my knees and back hurt me when I first started running this summer. my trainer told me it's because i had zero strength built up in my core and quads (back of thighs). don't skimp on strength training!

I'm currently 155. Looking to get down to 135, my weight in college. Let's do this together! Anyone can add me. I need some motivating friends on here :)

Lately I've been having a whole wheat English muffin with crunchy peanut butter and banana slices on top. Keeps me full all morning!

Wow incredible story and results!

1 tbsp of half and half is only 20 calories. Thanks but I'm keeping it!

Why do you care?

Lately, I've been making the Barefoot Contessa chicken salad and it lasts me the whole work week for lunches. It's chicken (I used a roaster chicken), walnuts, pecans, grapes, mayo (or greek yogurt), sour cream, and fresh tarragon. To cut down on the fat/cals you could just use greek yogurt for both mayo & sour cream. It's…

I have scoliosis too and I've had 2 spinal fusion surgeries. I don't limit myself at all in terms of exercise.

Today I brought grapes for my mid-morning snack, and a 100-calorie kettle corn pack for my afternoon snack.

I actually ran my first race ever this year in September, the Color Me Rad 5K. There was a "bomb squad" that threw colored cornstarch and liquid color at us as we were running. There were 4 stations throughout the race. It was crazy and so much fun!

"btw...most of the people giving it don't exactly look like Jillian Michaels" <---This is why they're saying it. They probably wish they were getting in shape like you. Let the haters hate. They won't be talking smack when you look hot! Let them motivate you.

I'm 5'8" and my goal weight is 130-135, which was my weight in college. Really want to get back into shape. I've never been toned before so I'm definitely looking for that this time around.

I'm 5'8", 160 lbs, 25 yrs. old. Goal weight: 130 AKA my weight in college! These desk jobs have killed me! Would definitely like some supportive, motivating friends on here! Add me :)

I like that my pants are getting baggy!

Same here! I've been signing up for running races to keep me involved in fitness and that way i'm always striving to reach a goal. Also, I want to reach the weight I was in college, that's a big motivator. And bikini season!!

You look great!! Good job!

Awesome! I'm running my second 5K on December 1st, also a holiday themed one! Good luck to us!

Great job! I am honored that I inspire you! Keep up the good work :)

cheese, butter, and chocolate.

I'm so into this idea! I want to lose 30 lbs total so 10 by thanksgiving would be awesome! We can do it!

You look amazing!!!

Wow you are crazy! haha. That's awesome though! I'm hoping to stick with it for the rest of my life. We'll see how it goes. Thanks!
