My husband hates veggies, but he will chug a smoothie with kale/spinach. He hates the flecks of it in there, but it doesn't taste bad: chop and freeze a banana 1/2 cup fat free milk or plain yogurt whatever berries you like a cup of kale/spinach There really isn't a replacement for it, so...yeah..take a vitamin?…

Don't weight yourself until a week after. Just start up your healthy eating again, and by a week the water retention should be gone. :P Also, see a doctor about your calorie intake. If you cannot see a doctor, it would be safer to eat the 1600-1700 calories and try to throw in a walk.

Yep! Had that problem when I first lost weight...and it took me about 8 years to find something else to make me happy. You just have to pick up some non weight related hobbies, or start moving toward another life goal. For me it was finding Christ, leaving a destructive relationship, and starting a family. I realized that…

Hey hun! Just thought I'd add a tid bit from weight of the nation (new hbo documentary). I thought it was interesting that once we are obese as adults, our brains fight losing weight due to a drop in the hormone leptin. SO just remember it is a fight the whole way, and sometimes your emotions are a bit out of your control.…

Bean sprouts are gross. You've done so well!! Congrats! And with twins? GREAT JOB!

Wow!! Great job, hun!!!

Praying for you!

I want to squeeze your arms.

Getting some definition! Hawt.

Most Fad diet stuff My mom is doing the hCG diet...and I read the pamphlet. This is the biggest set up for failure I've ever seen. It has SO many instructions, and it has you eating 500 cals per day at the beginning. She won't listen to me about eating frequently and not going below 1200-1400 cals.

Yeah...you're going to have to put a foot down. No one should have to "lose" in this situation. Just tell him his snacks are now limited. Too bad for him. He doesn't need to get diabetes anyhow.

Hahaha! You are doing fantastic. Very pretty too!

Hahaha! Cute. Thanks for sharing

Great Job! Sooo Pretty!

I've been watching too! I never thought of how some areas have NO grocery stores within miles or sidewalks. Great documentaries.

Changing up cardio does help! I've read numerous articles about switching up the routine so one does not plateau (here is one: http://www.shape.com/fitness/workouts/fitness-workouts-break-fat-barrier ) Make sure you have a rest day, though. I'd replace a day of zumba with heavy lifting.

You're so pretty that you looked great all of your journey! Good job!

Carbonated drinks cause bloating, Also I've read about diet drinks making your crave carbs and other sweet things. http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/diet-sodas-and-weight-gain-not-so-fast I also seem to retain water whenever I drink sodas or beer.

Anything that is convenient like the tyson chicken is going to be higher in sodium. Cheese and milk have sodium. Subway meat is going to be packed with sodium. I would suggest getting low sodium turkey and chicken lunch meat from the store, and stocking up on some salt free seasonings to cook your own meats with. I know it…

Thank you!! These sound DELICIOUS

It is always so hard when you go out. I always just order what ever I want (not fried) and then put enough to cover an appetizer plate for my dinner (example one tortilla with 2 strips chicken and a spoon full of beans and rice) and the rest I get a box. I also usually count out 10 chips and dip lightly. And for…

Fantastic job!!

Wow! Look at that gorgeous girl!

Great job, cutie pie!

My boss lost 15 lbs of vanity weight in 2 months doing atkins and weight training. My father lost 60 lbs doing the original south beach diet and martial arts twice a week Edit: I also ate carbs only on sunday for 3 months and lost a ridiculous amount. Wouldn't recommend that, though.

Looks great! Look at those muscles coming in!

Sooo glad you left that life style. Now you can actually enjoy all the little things in life. Great job!
