I'm 25...feel free to add!

Totally agree! I always say I'd rather eat my calories than drink them!

I'm a lover of beers--which is a huge problem! I made the decision to not completely cut it out. I haven't completely cut ANYTHING out of my diet. For me, that's unrealistic and not sustainable for the rest of my life. Instead of going to my favorite bar 4x/week, I now go 4x/month. I try to pick light to medium beers…

I once heard a quote...something like eating right makes you look good with your clothes on but exercising makes you look good with your clothes off. It's time to focus on toning, since you've lost all that weight! (CONGRATS by the way!!!) I think the 30DS is a great idea. :)

Slim in 6 would probably be good for you...or if you're religious at all, there's one called Body Gospel. :)

I'm 5'7" and have a large frame...my ultimate goal is 147.

That's a great idea!! I was thinking about doing a boudoir shoot for my hubby as a present to myself for hitting goal. :)

Hey lady! I think adding some calories for a few weeks is a great idea--see what it does for you. It sounds backward, but I lost weight when I added calories, too. What kinds of things are you eating to get to your calorie goals? That and sodium could also be putting a wrench in the works. xoxo...we need a chat date!

Agreed, Add 100 and see how that goes for a couple weeks.

Ditto!!! :)

Haha you said DP. I have such a dirty mind!

I think you need a good support network. If you can't get that from friends/family...get it from the good people here. We are all going through a similar journey and can offer words of encouragement or advice when you need it. :) Good luck and welcome!

I'll help!

Got another picture posted. :)

Thanks everyone, it really means a lot. :) Since I've gotten a lot of questions, here are my best tips: -Get a good support network--if you don't have friends/family that will be helpful, find some good people on here. -Track everything you eat/drink. Measure things until you get the hang of what a portion size looks like.…

LOL thanks everyone!!! I can always use more friends, too...so feel free to friend request me. :)

You know your own body, so do what feels comfortable. If you do too much too soon, you could burn out or potentially hurt yourself. Are you tracking what you eat?

You have to stick with it. I just read a book called "The Slight Edge" (highly recommend--very short too). It talks all about how your success in life is not from one huge event, it's from little things you do each day. If you don't eat veggies today of course it won't kill you today, nor in a week if you still don't. But…

You just totally described me at the beginning of my journey, minus the kids. Welcome! You can totally do this--get a good support network and stay accountable to them.

Kind of creeps me out, but I've heard of people doing this. Here's a short article about it: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/24/chia-seeds-for-weight-loss/

I love fat free greek yogurt!

Can't find what? TurboFire or about the challenge?

Depends on what you're looking for--do you want more cardio or strength training? Or a mix? The most important thing is finding something you enjoy doing. :)

Everyone ready? Starting Monday!! I'm so excited, I really enjoyed the 5 day inferno that I did this week!

Dangit and I was just debating having a couple thin mints...I haven't eaten any yet and the box is almost gone! I think I'll have a few. :)

Totally agree that ChaLean Extreme is what you're looking for. Go get it girl!

Yuck! Definitely blend it or at the very least, use a shaker cup. :) Also--try some other combinations. What flavor is the protein powder? I can offer some suggestions based on that.

Brity--what does your nutrition plan look like? That might have something to do with it. Did you take measurements? Be patient--it will happen if you stick to it. Desirai--great! You'll love it. :)

I freaking love it! Only con is that you have to buy it on-line (unless you happen to find a store that carries it)...but it's so worth every penny. I am through a jar and a half already since the end of January. Friends bought the other two jars off of me so I just had to order more. I must never be without it again!! :)…
