Awesome! You're looking great!

Together 4 years and married for one year in April. I hear people talk about failing marriages all the time. I come from parents who have been married for 35 happy years and my husband comes from parents that were married over 20 years when his mother passed away. I'm hoping that the foundation our parents set for us will…

This is awesome and exactly how I feel! I'm changing my life not on some fad diet...so if I want a rice crispy treat once every couple days...I'm going to have one! So many people that I know don't get this...change your life...get heatlhy...but don't deprive yourself of a treat every now and then!

The first time I tried to lose weight I hit a really frustrating Plateau early on. I asked the same questions and most of the advice I got was to underestimate calories burned during workouts. So if my heart rate monitor said I lost 200 I would only enter 125. Also, to make sure your body isn't going into starvation…

Thanks for all the suggestions! I might just allow myself to indulge a bit! :wink:

I prefer to the DVD's to the classes...but I'm more of an idependent worker. I feel like I burn more and workout harder with the DVDs than I do with the instructor.

Different Techniques will bring different results. For instance, if I just diet and lose weight my before and after won't look nearly as good as someone who worked out, dieted and lost weight while become fit and toned. Also...everyone has different heights and body structure so they carry weight differently. I would say…

I would say a total NSV, however, its hard to say if the girls are more interested in you because of your appearance or perhaps it is a new level of confidence and energy you've gained with your weight loss. Either way its awesome and you should spend your time enjoying it! It's always flattering when someone hits on you…

You look great!

You should never eat over 50-60 percent of your daily caloric intake in Carbs. 1 gram of carms = 4 calories...so if you eat 1200 calories then you should have about 150 grams of carbs. I try to keep mine at the 115-120 mark...and it seems to be working...but I also only try to eat good carbs like fruits and veggies or…

This is what seems to work for me...I cut out almost all of my bad carbs like breads, pastas and sweets. I've been eating a lot of fruits and vegetables to reach my daily carb intake...then I allow myself one bad carb per day. That may be a piece of candy, a roll with dinner. I also eat all of my carbs throughout the day…

I do a mixture of fruits...but here are some of my favorites 1/2 banana 3 strawberries 1/2 cup pineapple 1/4 cup soy milk add ice and blend or 1/4 cup cranberries 1 orange 2 strawberries 4 baby carrotts 1/4 cup soy milk add ice and blend or 5 baby spinach leaves 1 stalk celery 1/2 apples 5 sprigs parsley 1/4 cup water a…

Its goes both ways. I don't have a lot of weight to lose and I don't feel like I look bad but I am trying to lose and people tell me all the time that I don't need to and they don't understand...when the reality is that I do need to...I'm just overweight and I haven't even had kids...so I need to be well in my healthy…

Definitely Interested!

I've see it so many ways! I'm a size 6 in stores like American Eagle and Old Navy, but a size 11 in Lee Branch Jeans. There appears to be no rhym or reason. I'm 5'3" and approximately 143 lbs...I would think I would be bigger than a size six...but definitley smaller than a size 11. Congrats on your accomplishment! I would…

Sounds delicious! Bumping for later! Thanks!

I like to take the chuck roast and cut it up then stir fry it with Broccoli, soy sauce and Sriracha Sauce with some rice...its delicious!

I'm having some girlfriends over for a Wine and Dine tomorrow and I've been racking my head about what to make for the Dine portion...I think I have found a solution! Thanks!

I have totally had the same thing happened to me. Working on getting ready for my wedding I lost 15 lbs, this put my 5'3" frame at 135..while I could have stood to lose more...I looked pretty good. I had been busting it in the gym and had some nice ab definition. My fiance and I had a bon fire and I was showing off some of…

HA! I LOVE THIS!!!

Hey there! I'm 25 years old and 5'3". I lost 15 lbs last spring getting ready for my wedding. I didn't really change what I was eating I just changed how much of it I was eating! I had one meal, one time a week that I could splurge and eat whatever I wanted and that was usually Nachos and Beer! I quit drinking on Week Days…

My husband is going to love this and won't even know that its better for him! : ) Thanks!

What were you doing? You look amazing!

I completely agree! I lost 15 lbs and then logged off and didn't log back on until 11 of it was gained back...and it only took me a couple months to gain it all back!

You were most certainly hit on! The strangest place I've ever been hit on was in the pharmacy waiting area. LOL It was awkward! He came up to me and asked me what I was there for! :laugh: I told him I was there for my herpes medicine and he left! :tongue: I was actually just there for some cold sore medicine I take to…

You look awesome! Great job!

I would eat Loaded Nachos any and every day of the weekend! I love myself some NACHOS!

I'm joining the Shoe of the Month Club when I reach my final goal but my midpoint goal is a weekend at the lake with some friends!

My doc told me not to be concerned unless I was losing more than 2 lbs a week unless of course I'm not giving my body the calories it needs!
