Well done! Those are awesome results!!

Way to go! You look fabulous!

To get the full benefit of chia seeds, they need to be whole, unlike flaxseed, which needs to be ground to get the full benefit. For me, chia seeds don't have any taste. I just bought them for the first time a few weeks ago and I put them in my plain Greek yogurt. It added texture, but not taste. Whereas ground flaxseed to…

Well done! You look fabulous--congrats!!

bwahahahahahahahahaha....Mutant, I love you.

It's embarrassing the amount of people who think the OP is being serious. This board is called "chit-chat, fun, and games"...no more explanation should be needed. Mutant, please continue to drop some more knowledge.:noway:

Congrats on someone noticing and the 19lbs lost!

Having a mindset of you "can't" do something is making it harder on yourself. The more something is off limits, the more you think about it, the more you want it. All things in moderation. Learn to take your unhealthier meals/foods and tweak them so they're healthier. Or if you want to eat them in all their unhealthy…

Congrats! That's awesome self control, especially at a buffet. Well done!

I'm currently wearing pajama pants and a shirt that are both 2X and I'm currently an 8/Med.Yes, I look ridiculous. The pants despite the drawstring and how tightly I tie them, still fall down all the time. But, they are comfortable, so I've hung onto them. Besides those items, I have given away all my older,bigger…

I drink 2-3 12oz cups a day. I do use creamer, but before I would pour it in to my heart's content, not measuring or anything. When I did start measuring I was putting 3T of creamer per cup. I realized I was using a ridiculous amount of calories on creamer, so I managed to get it down to 1T and 1t per cup. And I use sugar…

Interval training is ideal if you're lacking on time. The 30DS is about 27 minutes long-3 circuits involving 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs. There's also a great Youtube channel and website, http://www.BodyRock.Tv/ http://www.thedailyhiit.com/ It's designed for at home workouts and high…

Definitely my biggest fear...and after I came out of paralysis, I would become like Jodie Foster's vigilante character who killed criminals. That would be my life. Besides that, spiders, bees, hornets, wasps, etc.,...and recently added to the list, sinkholes. Oops, almost forgot fear of big-@$$ panties, which is why I've…

Congrats on your amazing success! You look fabulous!

#4 is very flattering and then #3.

Congrats on your success so far. If you aren't hungry, then don't force yourself to eat. You DO need some fat in your diet-the good fats, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. You can find these in nuts, and natural nut butters, olive oil, avocados, salmon, etc... Your diary was private when I checked a couple of minutes…

Boyfriend and a hubby? You are an overachiever:drinker: . lol. Seriously though, I lost 40lbs in 4 1/2 months, so it can be done. I would purchase a scale and measure yourself once a week, same day and time every week. You should do it when you wake up, before you eat or drink anything, but after you go to the bathroom.…

This thread gives me hope that I can have a flat belly or nearly flat belly...the last of my remaining belly fat is hanging on for dear life it seems.

If you are eating foods in high in protein and fiber, you will feel fuller with less food. That's a good thing. Eating less will be determined by your activity level and what your body is telling you it needs. If you're not hungry, then stop eating. If you aren't measuring/weighing your food, you should start. I have…

Awesome loss, awesome tat, and awesome attitude! Congrats on your transformation!

WOW! I am in total awe of you...what an inspirational story!

Ugh. I hate the word "skinny" too!

To look at me with clothes on, I look like I don't need to lose anymore weight. I still have a substantial gut, but I know how to hide it well. Obviously too well, because so many people are telling me I don't need to lose anymore weight or that I need to do x,y,z, etc.. And these aren't health and fitness professionals,…

[/quote] "Any diet you do is risky unless you are smart about it. " [/quote] Not necessarily true, but if that is indeed the case, why not just eat healthy and exercise? Why not put your time, money, and energy into something sustainable and not some fad, quick-fix diet that will reverse itself as soon as you stop doing…

I do Zumba and Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism dvds. I also do strength training. Like someone else said, Youtube is great place to start. I like the Bodyrocktv channel and Sparkspeople channel.

Awesome accomplishment! You look fabulous!!

Happy Birthday! You have given yourself a great gift! You look fabulous!

A 15lb loss in a month is an awesome accomplishment! And a 1lb loss is still a loss. You are still headed in the right direction, which is the important thing. Remember slow progress is still PROGRESS! Keep doing what you're doing, reminding yourself this is about creating a healthy lifestyle and NOT about a quick fix.

You are doing great! Congrats!

Congrats! You are doing fabulous!
