Wow YOU are amazing. I can relate so much to your story...I already had 2 kids and got pregant with twins which left me at 220lbs at age 32 and Im only 5"3!!!! Unfortunately, I lost my husband to cancer so I did the whole emotional eating and neglected myself and trying to raise 4 kids on my own. Now I am down to 157Lbs.…

A naval orange and a handful of raw almonds, Vega One Protein bar(I usually only eat half of it) with water, Yogurt spinach dip w/quinoa chips(Trader joe's). They fill me up. But drinking plenty of water is the key...

This is awesome work! Your taking care of yourself and your body and inspiring others.

I love yoga and just started getting back into shape and yoga really helps get you toned.

After the birth of my twins my nutritionist told me to stop all fruit since It spikes your blood sugar and gives you cravings. He also mentioned your body will burn it off first before you stored fat and that your body doesn't really differentiate it between something like a cupcake.Sugar is sugar..

I think the trick is when starting out is to not focus on calories just ,yet. Defiantely track EVERYTHING you eat for a month just o figure out your actually calorie intake. Only eat when your hungry and try to leave a little food on your plate each time. Then start swapping bad meals with good healthy versions and try to…

Change your negative thoughts. It sounds cliche but it works. The outside is a reflection of the inside.If your overweight that means your body/mind is out of balance. Meditate on the positive and you'll see the difference. CBT therapy helped me get off the meds and down to a size 8 along with meditation.

I recommend eating protein with EVERY meal even snacks. Protein keeps you full longer and if you are getting shaky eat a small snack like celery and almond butter or a cheese snack to hold you over.Drinking alot of water or tea really helps keep you satisfied,too.

I ate when I wasn't hungry. I was an emotional eater that ate when I was bored or wanted to be comforted.

I'm in. Its a realistic goal,too!

I do at least 30 minute bike ride.I just started doing Zumba this week and its quite a workout.

I love Almond milk. You have to make sure to check for sugar and added ingredients though. Some lmilks can be thick becuase of all the added ingredients. I have a VItamix so I make mine at home.Ive tried Soy and coconut milk but Almond seems to be my favorite.

You do not want to do anything less than 1200 calories. Otherwise your body thinks its starving and it will try to hold on to the fat to survive. Nada Bueno!

I'm Monica I am 39yrs old and a mother of four and I finally decided and fed up with being overweight.

I just started seeing a therapist regarding my anxiety and stress issues and it seems when I am very overwhelmed I eat so she recommended to do anything to distract myself. Go for a walk, take a shower, call a friend ,etc. She said not to chew gum to keep you mouth busy. The salavation tricks your mind to thinking its…

I love it! Especially in my tea.Just a drop or two to give it some flavor. Its also low glycemic

In only 11 days you can totally see a difference.
