I can tell the difference. If I have a few weekend snacks/meals over a weekend with more refined foods and sweets, I am a bit more lethargic on Mondays. I eat lean proteins, fruits & veggies on Monday and by later in day or for sure Tuesday, I am back to feeling awake and a bit more energy.

Great Job! Way to Go! It is very great to see successes like yours. Thank you for sharing

Costco is a great place to purchase Frozen Tilapia or Salmon. I purchase mine there and have fish at least once a week. I will bake it in my oven or toaster oven. Sometimes will make a foil packet and put it on the grill. I find buying a couple spice blends that are geared towards fish help with flavoring. I found a couple…

Thank you for sharing! You can do this! I lost weight for my wedding in 2012 and then let things slide and put on most of the weight back. Being short, I am 5'1, extra weight stacks up! I like your thoughts on giving on up on Weight Watchers and just making it part of your lifestyle. Setting small goals as well is a great…

Good Luck. You can do this! I have about 10-15 lbs to loose. I lost about 20, gained back about half or so and now need to slim it down again. - Add me if you would like another friend :)

Congratulations on the birth of your baby! Good Luck on achieving your goal. You can do this and your little one is the best motivator of all :)

This.. mainly it is about the types of foods you eat to have a flat stomach - 6-pack abs. Abs are made in the kitchen. Consult a professional. They will be able guide you very well. Also, building muscle will help as well.

Great Link, thank you for sharing carfanman.

With any exercise I do, I find my nutrition is a part of it. If I have too many carbs from grains/bread/pasta leading up to my workout then I tend to lag in my workouts. I eat more fruits, veggies & nuts for snacks leading up to workout and I have more energy to get thru. Just a suggestion. I am not a runner but I have…

^^This^^ Also at this level, the types of food as many people mentioned can make an impact. Good Luck!

Take her to the vet. Make sure she does not have a urinary track infection. Not going in the litter box is a sign of infection. Also, as others said.. confine to less rooms.. each time I have a kitten we start by putting them in an area of one or two rooms. It helps them to get to know the smells of their new home. Trying…

Thank you for sharing your story. You have done a fabulous job! I admire what you have done and you have proven that anything is possible!! It is inspiring stories like yours that remind me to keep going and never give up. I am sure your story will inspire many others! Thank you!

Like this.. $$ in my pockets - BONUS and a holiday would be great too.

Agree - This, lifestyle change

Make it a lifestyle change. I know I will be logging for years to come. However, I am making this a lifestyle change. Making different food choices than I have done so in the past. I have to be sure to eat proper portions and just STOP eating when that portion is gone. Eat slower when you can. I will be eating breakfast or…

THIS.. Eat More! You are not providing any fuel for your body and it is holding on to all that it can!!! If you feel hungry, eat. Also when you do eat, work in Protein. Protein helps to curb the hunger feeling.

The crockpot is my best friend. I cook all kinds of meat dishes from chicken, beef, pork, turkey, etc in the crockpot. It is pretty easy to add a salad, vegetable, or even rice or quinoa. When I make brown rice I typically cook extra and know I will use it throughout the week. There are a lot of recipes on various sites…

You may want to look into your local grocery store - we have a chain of grocery stores called Hy-vee. They have a nutritionist on staff. The nutritionist help I believe to formulate some of the grab and go items and place various healthy features throughout the store. - If your grocery store has one, I would look them up…

Fabulous! I have a best friend with Fibro and she has been learning her limitations and such. I would love to see her get on MFP or similar and get to tracking and more active. I think it would help :). Great job on sticking to it since January and still going!!

Great Job on your achievement! You have done fabulous and you should be so proud of yourself, which I believe you are. I admire you for making the change for yourself and your children. Congrats on expecting your second child. Thank you for sharing your story. It is inspiring and motivating... keep up the great lifestyle!

Love That image you posted.. Mauro is the best!! :)

Check out Pork if you like it. Pork loin, pork chops, etc. Look for the leaner cuts . . Not Bacon. It is something different than chicken if you want to change it up. We grill it, cook it in a crock pot or you can roast in the oven.

Fabulous.. You look great! Agree weights do amazing things. Great Job!

The 1-finger wave.. love it! it cracks me up. I grew up around it (in Nebraska) and when I visit my hometown I have to remember to "wave" :) I say, don't take it personal. When people are exercising sometimes they are zoned into it and therefore they don't acknowledge the people around them much or at all. When I workout,…

Great Job! You are looking fantastic. I can see the difference from set one of pictures to set 2 of pictures to set 3 of pictures. Keep up the great work. You WILL make it to your goal!!
