alright, I do have a question. I'm trying to lose 1 1/2 lb a week...currently doing 3 days of cardio, 30 min and averaging about 300-350 cal per workout (according to the machine not MFP). I just started 30day shred this week as well. MFP had my calorie intake as 1390 but I stopped losing and changed my activity level and…

LOVE THE BACK TAT!!! :)

BUMP!

after getting my biometric screening through work and being told by and extremely fit female nurse that I was considered extremely obese for my height and that even though my levels weren't that bad, I needed to change. It's one thing being immune to how you look everyday, you kind of become blind to it but having a…

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I guess i'm just really excited to be starting this journey to having a healthy lifestyle and any set back freaks me out because i don't want to to stall or go back now that i've put so much effort and sweat into making me over. :wink:

housekeeper for sure!!!

I was 22 when i got pregnant to my ex-bf...It was really hard bc at 6 months I found out he had another girlfriend and didn't want to be a family. My bestfriend abandoned me, I was completely alone....I'll say that it was the worst months of my life feeling like I was worthless and going to be an awful influence but you…

it works for me!!! i've lost 10 pounds in the past month doing elliptical three times a week!! my bf says it's not worth it but i see a difference so i'm not stopping! :)

i started it yesterday...i'm walking like a newborn calf today...so sore!! but i'm game i'll post my before and after when i'm finished :)

scrambled egg with grape tomatoes: 1 egg-70 cal 2 egg whites- 32cal 14g 2% shredded cheese- 40 cal 3oz grape tomatoes sliced- 30 cal Only 172 calories. you can always add extra veggies or a full serving of cheese to give more calories and add a slice of toast and piece of fruit and still be at or below. :)

BUMP

it's really just my armpits. like, i showered this morning and put on my deodorant(regular Dove) which I used before i started working out and right now i can smell my armpits..not sexy...I'm heading to the store tonight for some clinical strength to see if that helps. Thanks for the advice everyone!

see, that's the thing...i'm getting more than 8 cups of water a day, i'm not starving myself so I don't think it could be ketosis...not eating anything more than the except for more veggies, no granulated sugar(only what comes naturally in fruits and things). It doesn't smell like gasoline or acetone...just like someone…

substitute brown rice instead of the white and it takes some getting used to but I tried it with spicy tuna and it was great...the brown rice also gave it a little bit of crunch so if you're addicted to the tempura, that should help some. Plus like above, just fit it into your calorie allowance and you'll be good! i've had…

Target has some great stuff and they are always doing clearance! i got a really cute shirt over easter weekend for 4.80 SCORE! :)

great job!! i'm a full time working mom as well and April was the month i decided to get serious. I'm still taking it slow because I'm correcting a lifetime of bad eating choices...i can blame the parents for the first 18 years but i've taken responsiblity for my life and want to spend the rest of my 20's in a bikini!!!!…

my best friend was addicted to sodas and she just did cold turkey. It sucked for about a week because she got headaches and was so fatigued from the lack of caffeine she was used to but she did it and now soda is too strong for her and it burns going down. Just persevere and you can do it!! :)

wow, you look absolutely amazing!!! you are such an inspiration!!! congrats! :)

thank you!!! I'm eating alot more fruits and veggies and MFP is telling me i'm eating too many sugars...i don't even use sugar in anything else...splenda or nada. i'm going to continue eating my bananas!!!

um, eww? lol

wow, you give me hope!!! I'm not new to stretch marks, i've always had them on my upper arms and inner thighs but i nearly had a heartattack when i saw the first stretch mark near my belly button lol. You look amazing thank you for the inspiration! :)

I think about WHY I want to be in shape and how I will feel when I lose the weight (lost 8 lbs this month!). For the longest time I was like you and using my single mom/fulltime work schedule as an excuse but at the end of the day, I was only hurting myself. I use my daughter as motivation, to be a good role model when it…
