There are coaches who claim that Shakeology cures clinical depression, also heard of coaches that have claimed it has helped MS sufferers get off medication!!! Outrageous!!! This is the danger of this kind of MLM in the personal health arena. People with little education given the title of "coach" can really harm people.…

Did any of you stop to think that this mother paid the money to take her son there because it might be a little less stress inducing to the child??? Usually spas have soothing music, etc. and a more therapeutic atmosphere. Sometimes a "kid friendly" place is the last place you want to take an autistic child. Way too much…

I do the cardio portions between lifting... so, I can't give a full program review. I have done all of the workouts, and I love them! So much fun! My favorite is Cardio Groove!

LOL I get help with yoga too. My cat and 3 dogs think it's fascinating to clean my face or try to tip me over, depending. :) I don't mind too much though.

I'm also a military wife with children. You can do this!! You will make time to do this and be successful! :)

Once trust is broken, that's the end of any relationship, for me anyway.

Avocados and quinoa are 2 of my favorites. Olive oil, peanut butter, fattier cuts of meat, and protein shakes (with added peanut butter, etc...)

Me too...Yo is AMAZING. Would love to have my body look even 1/2 as good as hers! LOL :)

WOW she looks amazing. :) How in the world did she do this in less than a year???

ChaLean Extreme is amazing. You will notice loss when you measure at the end of the month. I thought the same thing..."I'm not losing, nothing is happening, blahblahblah".....I think I lost over 12 inches that first month, and 20+ over the entire program. I'll have to pull up my notes. It does work. As for Shakeology....it…

You can get a great protein powder for less than $30.00 at GNC, WalMart, etc. I tried Shakeology samples. I didn't like the taste of either chocolate (Vegan or regular) and I did enjoy the tropical strawberry. However, I didn't feel like it did anything special for me at all. In fact, my protein powder actually makes me…

I have to agree with the poster who said juicing (as a fast) is a terrible idea. Sure have some fresh juice now and again, but don't make it your primary source of nutrients for any period of time. I fasted for 3-1/2 days, and while I did lose weight (nothing noticeable physically) I also felt HORRID, starving, miserable,…

I don't know if the interstellar ninjas would approve...

I would suggest Chalean Extreme if you want to workout at home. I loved my results from it, and it's a lot of fun. :)

You can add me, I keep my diary open, failures and all. I went a couple of weeks without logging around Christmas time and HATED life. LOL I'm so addicted

I did Chalean Extreme....it was amazing. Chalene Johnson is my very favorite fitness person/ motivator. I lost over 20 inches in one round. I have TF and plan on doing a complete round of that, after I finish Brazil Butt Lift...which I LOVE. I'm in my first week, and have been very sore. I really like Leandro's style! He's…

I have 2 cups per day with 2 TBSP liquid sugar free creamer (sometimes I use the regular, depends on my mood) and splenda. Mmm.... I just make it fit. I have a trampoline in the bedroom, if I need a few extra even after my usual workout, I'll jump for it! LOL

Hahaha!! We have 3 dogs and a cat...they all have stockings and presents....it's crazy but we love it. :)

Great job!! :) It's so exciting fitting into smaller clothes!! ETA: I love the Kitty Photobomb.

I have my coffee every morning with some heavy cream, and splenda.

AMAZING JOB!! Congratulations!! :)

You are a therapist. So am I. (ETA: Was. I stay home with the kids now...) I have been where you are. You have to look yourself in the mirror and talk to yourself as if you would talk to a client headed down the same path. I, being firmly rooted in reality therapy, told myself that I had better start looking good and hard…

I do not eat before I exercise. I have a cup of coffee, get my kids to school and workout. Then I eat a high protein breakfast. If I eat anything before I work out, I am sick to my stomach. I have not had any problem....and I have more muscle than I did when I started. :)

Well Fed by Melissa Joulwan is a wonderful book. I love her recipes. ETA: You can get some of her awesome recipes at theclothesmakethegirl.com

Hi! I'm Jeri, I don't have much of a story but...here we go... I've been overweight for pretty much my whole life. I have around 50+ pounds left to lose- maybe more. I just don't know. I have never been small. My lowest weight ever was 170...and I thought I looked AWESOME then at a size 12/14. I have a ways to go to get…

Hinder - Lips of an Angel. I hate that song..his voice grates my nerves so bad. I also can't stand anything Bieber. He needs to go away.

Mix together some cooked brown rice, spinach, and heat until the spinach is wilted. Add some diced avocado and whatever spices you like. You could also add leftover chicken breast or whatever meat you had previously. Cheap and easy! :)

WOW! You look great! Great job!:drinker:

Just a note: I love sodium too. I don't know you, but I am really proud of you, your accomplishments and your drive to see this through!! I can't wait to see your post around Christmas when you post that you are in the "3's"!! I too plan on staying on MFP for life. I don't think I could maintain any loss I have without it.…

I have told my husband and my parents. They and my MFP friends are a great support to me. Nobody else knows. Most of my friends don't. This is going to sound silly, but I have a friend who I think would really benefit from this and I really want to have serious results where she asks "What have you done?" so I can say…
