Holy crap you look so awesome! Congrats!

face and waist are always the first to go for me... thank god!

Amy's frozen burritos are one of my standby's. They are organic, and contain no meat products (you and I eat the same way it seems). I have VERY minimal time to cook so ready prepared always works better for me as well. I take about an hour on Sunday evenings to prepare some stuff for the week. It makes a big difference.…

Thanks ladies. Needed this stuff! I'm a Florida girl in a beach town so my motivation is the 8 bikinis sitting in my drawer right now waiting!

^ This is how it is for me. I have to stop calling it a "diet". I am making a life change for my well being and I have to look at it that way. I have lost weight in the past just to gain it all back because I went off my "diet". Unfortunately, I am not the type of person who can get the weight off with a short diet and…

Dinner leftovers work for me but we don't have time to cook every night so I make sure I always have some edamame or boiled eggs made and fresh fruit and veggies cut up so I can easily take them with me. I use "ranch" made of greek yogurt and dry ranch seasoning or hummus to dip. I also always have Amy's brand Organic…

Anyone?

Oh I def want in! How do I do this? I'm still pretty new... do I just post in this topic feed?

You look i.n.c.r.e.d.i.b.l.e.!!!!! Awesome pics. Thank you so much for sharing. :) Great inspiration

Girl I crave sweet and salty when it is that time and I really feel like eating everything in sight! It's hard for me as well and I am pretty new to this too. I try and go for the healthier options.... Nutella and Pretzels, Baked Potato Chips or Veggie Chips. The Skinny Cow snack packs are good too. And I make sure I work…

You look fabulous! What a difference! Congrats :)

You look awesome! Thank you so much for posting this!

Those pics really put things into perspective I bet! You look awesome! Don't give up. You have come way too far. :)

Looking to add friends as well! I find it really helps me remain accountable when I have a little more support. I'm adding you now.

Holy crap you look awesome! I can def see the difference. That's great! Keep it up. :)

This is THEE hardest part for me too. I come from a large Italian family that likes to eat! They don't understand my new eating habits and they don't make it easy for me either. What I have found though- is that they do not get to dictate my happiness and well being. If I want to be healthy and lose weight and feel better,…

Before my son, I was a size 4 and weighed 136lbs at 5'4. No one believed me. I can completely understand where you are coming from. Currently I am a size 10 and weigh 172 lbs. You are indeed more muscluar as am I but I don't think it's a bad thing. I have learned that they actual weight doesn't matter. It's how you fit in…

34 pounds to lose and I.am.ready. I'll take this challenge with you!

Swimming!! If you have access to a pool, it is a great way to work out. It is very low impact and you can still get your heart rate up. I usually take my son to the pool and get a few laps in between playing with him. It seems to work pretty well. Also, anything you can do that involves rowing. Some gyms have a rowing…
