I love to broil tilapia with a little olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. It takes less than 10 minutes to cook and I pair it with veggies or salad. Delicious and super light.

There could be a medical/hormonal issue. Despite what these others proclaim you don't have to eat at a deficit to lose otherwise Adkins and Paleo wouldn't work for people. I think what you eat does matter as much if not more than how much you eat. A friend of mine, also 50 had the same problem as you. She cut out processed…

I used to drink shakeology and I liked it. I remember my body going through an adjustment period for about a week after starting it, but I'm not sure if it was the shake, or me giving up the bad fast food breakfast habit. It did give me good energy and it was convenient for my busy, on the go life. The only reason I…

The tranformation is incredible! Keep up your hard work! You have been an inspiration to me and really make me want to keep going! Congrats!

I think the Wii can be a great start for anyone who is not physically active already. Any body movement is better than none. There are a lot of fitness programs for Wii (check Amazon). If you are already pretty active/workout then it's probably not going to be enough for you. It's still fun though and a great way to get…

While I don't have a teenager yet, I do have a 5 year old that I am trying to teach responsiblity. I would suggest making a chore chart for her. Try not to giveher too much, but some basic duties like dusting, vacuuming and keeping her room clean would be a good start. Have a rewards system in place. My son earns points…

Mike, have you considered writing a book? You are a great writer and very entertaining. I always look forward to reading your rants. =)

:laugh: You're funny.

You are so inspiring! Keep up the great work, you look fantastic!

Thanks for sharing this. It brougth tears to my eyes and an ache to my heart as I realized that she is me. I am always the one taking pictures, rarely in them. In doing so, if I were to leave my childrens lives tomorrow i would have erased myself from their lives as they are so young that they wouldn't have much memory of…

Bump for later

Congratulations on making the commitment. It's a tough road, but well worth the travels! Good luck!

You look great! Congrats!

I can't speak for all the other shakes out there, but Shakeology is packed full of Superfoods such as chia, flax, quinoa, brown rice, pea, spinach and countless other wholesome ingredients. While that might not sound like it tastes great, it does! Chia naturally helps you stay full (I stay full from these shakes for about…

Every time there is one of these threads there are the slew of comments about how you shouldn't drink meal replacements and blah blah blah. I don't believe the OP was asking if she SHOULD drink them, she was asking for opinions from those that DO drink them. There is nothing wrong with drinking a meal replacement shake if…

I use Shakeology. It's all natural and tastes good. A little pricey but I think it's worth it.

You have done an amazing job! You look great. Keep up the hard work!

I'm sure the "right" answer is "yes", but I can't say absolutely that I would. No, I'm not a cold-hearted B!+ch, but I do have young children of my own that I need to be around for to take care of and raise. They need their Mommy. I mean, that's kind of why I'm on this weight loss journey - so I can do my best to be around…

That is awesome! Good work!

Great post. I agree whole-heartedly.

You look amazing! Great job! I love seeing success stories, so thanks for sharing!

Unless I missed it, I don't have a twin yet though some are very close.. October 27th.

Allow yourself to feel whatever emotion it is that has you depressed. Don't run from it or try to make it go away. Take that walk or try some deep breathing exercises and focus on your feelings. Deal with them, then let them go.

The back handed "compliments" are endless. I always got "You dress really nice for your size".. Un, really? You can't just say I dress nice, or that I have good style? Are my clothes being compared to tents? I always resented that compliment even though I know the person saying it meant well.

Very inspirational! Keep up the good work!

1. The Cure 2. Depeche Mode 3. Adele 4. Florence and the Machine 5. White Stripes (early) And if I can choose 6.. Johnny Cash

I think most posters are missing the point. it's not about to drop off, or not to drop off. It's about common courtesy of introducing yourself and making sure it's ok to leave your child and as I said previously, making sure that parent has a way to et a hold you in an emergency. I'm not opposed to dropping my child off at…
