Oooh that sounds so yummy, doing this soon! Thanks :)

Xzibit. haha

I shouldn't matter about the portion size, as long as you are not going over your calories. You could try eating more snacks too. Almonds are VERY healthy, and also have a lot of calories. If you see that you are low on calories, eat a serving or 2 or almonds. They have all kinds of flavors, I LOVE them! Sometimes I am way…

I know exactly how you feel. I suffered from depression for almost 2 years, not knowing WHAT to do. I had my daughter when I was 20, and a couple months later I developed post-partum depression. I felt like my life was just over. Having someone else to rely on YOU for everything they need was hard. I was stressed with a…

You are absolutely right.. I think the more technology advances, the lazier we get..

You look amazing!! Thank you for the inspiration!

Congratulations!!! Hope you get the pics working soon so we can all see and get motivated!! lol :)

I weight once a week, every monday morning before I eat/drink anything. If I weighed every day, I would become obsessed.. I am tempted to weigh every day though!

OF COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THOSE SYMPTOMS!!! EAT, you skinny thing!! That is YOU in your profile picture isn't it?? lol!!! Eat some eggs. Eat a chicken salad.. something with protein to hold you over for longer!! And treat yourself sometimes when your friends are eating unhealthy foods.. But always try to eat a small…

Saame here! I usualy have dinner done BY 6 or 630. Hasn't kept me from losing the weight!!

Wow, you look amazing girl! Thanks for the motivation :) I can't wait to reach my goal as well!

Thanks. This is just my first week, and I've lost 4 pounds.. I know some is probably water weight, I don't expect to lose 4 pounds a week! But yes, I do have a lot of energy, most days, and so far I have lost an inch. Thank you for the help!

Thanks :) I was just confused!

Amen to that. I did the same thing!! God is good, and He will take your problems and turn them into blessings. He knows you more than you know yourself! He has helped me through SO MUCH these past few years.. I can't thank Him enough. He is my rock and my comfortor, and as long as I put Him first, everything I need will be…

I made a yummy beef stew in my crock pot.. I didn't even use a recipe, just added things as I went! I cooked the steak first, then chopped it up into bite-sized squared and put it in my crock pot. (I think I had 3 medium sized steaks) I added 1 can of cream of celery, and 1 can of cream of mushroom. Added about 2 cans of…

Great job!!!!! You look amazing!

Wow :) You look amazing! So proud, I love seeing success pics. It keeps me motivated!!

Awesome!! Can't wait to get into a size 8!! Doing good :) :happy:

I don't think I would trust that machine... You did say you had shoes that made you like an inch taller! I think what you did at home (measuring your height yourself) was the way to go. And about your weight.. You're body weight changes all throughout the day. The best way to get the most accurate weight is to weigh every…

I figured that. Thank you!!

I definitely agree with Maria on the splurging. I NEVER will splurge all day, maybe just a meal. I try to do breakfast, so it's easier to burn it off.. Like pancakes and bacon :) Then I just make sure I get some good cardio in later that day, and I never feel guilty! As for the running/speed walking... I think everyone…

Brooks, I know how you feel. I did the same thing you did, even though it happened for a completely different reason. I was pretty skinny in highschool, and also when I started college. I was around 125-130 pounds, and am 5'4''. I never had to diet or whatever, to stay the size that I was. In 2010, I got pregnant at 20,…

Thank you :) That's what I was hoping for... I am usually like 200 calories under my limit every day anyway... I guess I can eat something unhealthy every once in a while, and it wont mess me up!

Heck yeah!!! I HATE being invited to dinner with a bunch of people.. It seems they all order the most fattening stuff, and I feel "obligated" to do the same.. especially if they are paying. Healthy stuff on the menu is always so much more expensive then, say, a burger and fries! I would love if more people would want to…

On here, it says I can eat like 1,350 I think.. But I hardly ever eat that much, just becuase I feel like eating more than I do will keep me from losing the weight I want to lose so badly. I usually end up eating 1,200, even when I do cardio.. And I'm hungry most of the day! It sucks. Maybe after I lose about 10 pounds,…

You look soooooo good!!! I am so happy for you, I love looking at success stories! Keep it up :) I bet you feel so much better!!

Thanks so much for the advice! I am doing this alone, and have never really had to diet before. I do crave chips, cake, icecream.. just about anything that's not healthy! Today has been a little better than yesterday though. I haven't been as hungry, and no headache yet! :D I am making some roast right now in the crock…
