CONGRATS!!! It only gets better from here! :) Keep up the hard work!!

I always wanted to learn more about carb cycling because I've heard it is very effective. I've lost a good amount of weight and now I just want to focus on lower my body fat % so thank you!

Chicken Pad Thai or Spicy Salmon Maki Sushi! :)

lift heavy things.

I'm not sure about the different types of artificial sweeteners, I think if it contains aspartame then it's all the same! I have only heard bad things about it so that's why I chose to give it up!

Thanks ladies! Good to know others had similar side effects :)

WOW - beautiful! Great job, there is a huge difference!! Congrats!

Awesome!! You can tell a huge difference, way to stick to it!!! :D Gorgeous!

Love step!! but unfortunately with my schedule I only get to make it to 2 step classes per week so on other days I enjoy combat and weight lifting classes :)

Thanks everyone! Great ideas!

Happy Birthday! and Congrats!! You look amazing

Congrats on your loss!

Butterball ground turkey does not sound like a good choice. Get something leaner... and not in a tube.... Butterball regular turkeys are injected with butter, you can literally see the little holes on the turkey where they injected it, before you cook it........ so I'd assume it was the same case for the ground turkey.

I lost 30 lbs and my ring size change from 7.5 to 6!

Sounds like your making the right choices! I suggest increasing your weight training to an hour instead of half an hour (three times per week) and when you lift, lift heavy with short reps. I have had a lot of success with lifting heavy and so have many others I know!!

I use tortillas for the dough.. and pizza sauce and top with LOTS of veggies!! also you can add chicken if you want some protein, I like to put green & red peppers, mushrooms, and spinach. and Cheese, just portion out the cheese to stick within your calories. Put in the oven for 5- 10 minutes! SO yummy :)

It's completely fine!! Don't worry about it! You literally have to overeat your TDEE (which you probably eat lower than) by 3500 calories to gain one single pound! If you see a weight increase on the scale it could be from a number of things (water retention, ect.) Don't let it bother you, but if you really get upset THAT…

I find whenever I hit a plateau for about a month, generally I will increase my calorie intake and the weight will start coming off again.... I would definitely not take appetite suppressants... if your body is hungry, feed it!!!

Also! Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like, always looking for new friends! :)

I'm 5'9'' as well. I was originally 182, my first goal weight was 155, second goal weight 150 and I currently weigh 151 lbs. My ultimate goal weight is 143 (BMI of 21.0) but I'm am happy where I am at so just focusing on making healthy choices and hoping the weight keeps coming off! I personally thought at 150 I would be…
