Awesome transformation! You look much more confident :)

Have you ever tried Arbonne protein shakes? They're vegan: pea, cranbery and rice protein. I'm not a consultant but, I'm sure you could find one. I buy off of their website through a friend that is if you can't find anyone and want to try.

I've been a splenda fan for over 5 years now. The only thing I find that is sweet enough for me is Stevia. I tried fructose but, it just had a strange effect on my coffee.

Our grocery list is a lot alike. Maybe you would like some of our weekly recipe dishes. turkey enchilada recipe....ground turkey, 1 pk FF Cream Cheese, 1 pk frozen spinich, 1 pk low sodium taco seasoning, tortillas and shredded mexican flavor cheese. I have a salmon recipe........1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup low sodium soy…

^ Exactly. I kept my old suits because I am a hopeless romantic when it comes to me going back to work someday. My suits are JCPenney and Casual corner, Varsace, Seven and Lucky Jeans, bras Victoria Secret. " I was paid well then lol " Now my clothes are from Kohl's and JCPenney. I have gone EVERYWHERE looking for jeans. I…

I am 5'5 CW 173lbs. I wear a size 12 dress. Pants 14 in some pants but mostly 12's. I went shopping in my big bins I keep of my old clothes the other night. My clothes from 1999 are much smaller. I have some JCPenney suits and some Casual Corner slacks from when I worked in sales. Only the size 16s fit from then. I think…

The week after Christmas is the best time for Vicky's <3

I hated meat. I had to eat protein bars and shakes at first. I was born a carbivore. I could eat pancakes three times a day. After exercising consistently for a few months.....I rip into chicken like a piranah, I can eat 4 pieces of fishe without even realizing the veggies are still in the microwave....I still am disgusted…

Carbs, Sodium and sugar are great to have deficits. Protein in my opinion is a free for all. My only issue is making sure I have the fiber as well depending on you personally over time you may see you need some extra if you are not getting alot of carbs.

My sister was an Army Recruiter for awhile. My advice woul be to talk to one first. You are very close to aging out as you are already aware. Both my boys are in NJROTC and are in the 11th grade. They have very intense PT almost everyday. I would talk to a recruiter and take the ASVAB first. Then decide if you want to…

I agree with that 100% I have one on Navy rifle team and the other an aerosoft junky who is joing the Marines next summer. It;s target practice :)

100% Agreed! Immature and narcissistic to say the least!

You look amazing lady! Your goals are your own for sure. I agree with Arny. I would stick with it for a while longer and put everyone else out of your head. I may or may not be taller than you. I'm at 173 at this point and am positive even though my BP and cholestorel are perfect that with age it will be harder and harder.…

Thank you for sharing what you've learned and your awesome success pics with us :) You ROCK!

I've got screws,plates and cement in my back and they took my left lower lobe of my lung out. It is not easy at all. Aquatic physical therapy has been my secret weapon.

My first four months I lost 9 lbs. I gained back 5 and then in October went nuts. I was eating too much and I knew it. I am not as active as most people. When I do exercise I need to rest more so it is a little different for everyone. You will hear everybody's OPINION on here all day long. In the end what works for you is…

You are beautiful! Congratulations on your success and thank you so much for sharing!

You're doing great! Thanks for sharing such an inspirational story!

AMAZING!! Great job!

Amazing transformation! I do have to say, you have awesome legs. Even your before pic legs are awesome!

Great job you two!! I have the same goal for Feb. We can do it!!

Your arms have a huge difference. Your face of course we can see the difference is quite a bit. I see a big difference on your photo of the back view. Your upper body, your back, shoulers and neck area are much much smaller.

Holy Macaroni! You look amazing! Congrats :)

That is fantastic! Taking less medcine is my biggest motivation that is better than the scale :)

There is no RDA for sodium because the human diet has never lacked it. An adequate amount of sodium for adults is between 250 and 500 mg/day. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for healthy adults is 2300 mg/day. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends an upper limit of 1500 mg/day for people over 50 and…

Amazing! You have changed so much. Thank you for sharing your story :)

Awesome! Thank you for sharing :) I'm at the halfway point and at your starting weight. Your after pic is my goal weight about. It is good to see your story for me. I don't want to settle for halfway there.

I agree. I am addicted to success stories.

umm...If you're anything like me.....stay far away from people, pets anything with a pulse at least for 24-48 hours. I even go as far as not talking on the phone as much as possible. If I end up going to the gym or downstairs to workout someone gets my wrath so It's best I stay put away from my keys especially since road…
