@solarpower nice body. Hope the face matches!

Very pretty! (@ahigg)

vodka soda With lime. It's good if you put Mio in it. Depending on the vodka, it could be as low as 70-100 calories! The flavored vodka has more calories (not many more)

Fantastic job! I love seeing the ones who have a hard time push through! I remember being right there with them and look forward to them being right there with me someday! I'm always afraid of them giving up! Awesome for you!

Looooove this! Funny stuff!

Mine was bitter sweet. It was on the fourth of july when a friend said to me with kind of a concerned look on her face, "you're not going to lose any more weight, ARE YOU?!" And later, when I was told that my chest plate was crazy and that I should eat another piece of pizza instead of my salad. Oh, and I'm able to wear…

I'm a big zumba freak! I have it for the kinect but enjoy the classes MUCH more! I only use the game when they don't have class! As a matter of fact, I'm going to get certified asap! That's how much I love it!

Yes, I get it all the time from my best friend and mom. My best friend is the one who got me into going to the gym and my mom goes alot too. They say it's too much of a priority and get mad when they see me tracking calories. It's really hard not to have their support. I'm 5'3 117. I'm at a good weight but I could be…

Jealous! I wish you could hold on to fat in the areas you choose. I might still have boobs. I've still got my booty too, but I'd like to have equal of both! You have done a great job! Kudos!

GRANOLA! I say it over and over! I swear by granola in yogurt if you want to feel fuller longer. Popcorn if you just want the hand to mouth feeling of snacking Oh, and you would be surprised at how filling a large salad (just lettuce and fat free zesty italian dressing can be ( very light on calories)

It's a combination of both for me. I workout 5xs a week, when I started, I was.eating the same and when I saw.results, I wanted to kick out into high gear, so eating better felt more natural.

I hate running! Ok, now that THAT is out of the way... I LOVE zumba and don't mind the elliptical. I do 1 of the 2 five days a week (zumba 3xs, elliptical 2xs a week) it's not alot of time out of your.day and is very effective. Sometimes I slack off and only do a half hour of elliptical work (mine has a fat burner program…

This is.similar to a topic I posted friday. I, too, love my porters, I.p.a, and FLAVOR! I'm tired of going over. I am definitely more of a beer.drinker but was.suggested to drink lemon vodka soda with lime. I add mio to it and became a fan. I started with 3 of them and finished the night with 2 beers. (vodka soda is only…

Ok. Look at my pics. My before pic is the one in black, one month later is.the one in purple. I'm the same weight in them both! Try taking progress pics on the first of every month. You may not notice a change because it will be gradual. Keep working! There's no way if you are more active and eat better, that you won't see…

@Stephenpuk: you always have my back and get what I'm saying! THANK YOU! I plan on the extra exercise for sure. Pre-game with activity instead of beer lol!

I'm sorry about your friend. Congrats on your sober, fit life. I'm not a fat drunk and I'm healthy. Your path is not the one I choose to take at this point in my life. I enjoy social drinking. I enjoy letting go, and I enjoy not looking at my friends as being somewhat less than I, because of their lifestyle choices.…

Hahaha! I'm honestly surprised with the options out there! If I'm not commenting back to your comment please know, it has been read and I'm thankful and weighing my options.

Probably unhealthy, but also more likely. I'm sure by day 3 I won't be up for much drinking. Temporary, but doable. I think extra gym time will also be included. Only 300 cal for 6 vodka sodas?! I'll have to try these! 300 cal isn't even 2 beers!

I like this idea!

No one said anything about getting "wrecked". I enjoy heavy beers. They have alot of calories. After 3 it's probably around 500 or 600 calories. My goal calories are only 1260.

I suppose there's no way around it, an extra hour or half hour at the gym this weekend. Thanks guys! I'm definitely a beer drinker when it's social. So sad! I hoped there was a "magic" secret that I never thought of.

Then I wish I liked whiskey :( maybe a vodka and light cranberry? Do bars carry light cran? Lmfao!

Granola and protein bars, granola in yogurt, my faves oh and pears all stay with you! I do think 2 1/2 hours is extreme but do what your body tells you it can handle

LMFAO! I love this!

All OF IT!!! My sports bras are getting too big, do you know how difficult that is to take?! Lol! I was a full 34C and now I am probably a small B or large A! So sad!

This will be my only response to negativity: everyone has their own insecurities, you can lift them up, or put them down, believe them , or not. I'm sorry if mine rubbed you the wrong way. You don't know me, or where I've been, or what people have said to me. I would explain, but it's not your business. I hope if you have…

Are you kidding?! I've seen your pics and I think you're beautiful!

No, not really. I do have some "before" pics though. The one showing my belly was my after my full 2 months at the gym. I take a new pic for month 3 the 6th of next month (so soon! Agh!) So I've lost maybe 4lbs since that one was taken.

I know it sounds boring, but my dinner (i work nights so that's the meal I pack) is always a salad. It fills you up more than you would think, a yogurt with granola (i also don't like mushy, consistency is a huge factor for me), or a fruit (a pear is my favorite, it keeps you full and is full of fiber), and a small bag of…

I love this girl! Lol! Thank you so much! Ok, I'm feeling alot better/confident now. Maybe I'll try all suggestions out this weekend. It's my best friend's birthday!!
