I've lost a lot of weight over the past year, and my goal has now switched from losing fat to gaining muscle. so this week I took my "before lifting" photos of my different muscle groups. And my NSV was that I actually had some muscles already! ha. I really loved the way my back looked. It really pumped me up to look at it…

@Rod: XXXMan

You guys are all so great :) This post just creeped back up on the boards and got some new comments. It's always nice to get rewarded for hard work by you nice wonderful people! :) Keep up the awesome work everyone!!

@TrueRay Hot Chocolate

15? Ha! I'm not ready to look younger yet, I'm still trying to look like a woman and not a girl, ha. I will take that as a major compliment though because that means I was headed down a bad path on the left there and I made a good change. I'll kill to look 15 in another 10 years ;)

Thank you darling, you're too sweet :)

Food, Inc and Forks Over Knives are good to watch. There are a lot of others on there, some are so-so. Food Matters (more about the drug industry) Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead (more about juicing, but has a good story) Food Fight Killer At Large Farmageddon

Thanks, it took me a few tries :-p

@elle love the long natural wave/curl hair :)

@jmcheatham--you're the "funny guy" at the party arent you? :)

@catrina Wendy Peffercorn :)

@kdaxon. STRONG. Maybe *****y.... but in a good confident strong attitude and strong personality kind of way... :D

Lovely as always! Congrats on all of your success, and for the courage to post it! Keep up the awesome work :)

Late to respond, but I didn't originally state that GMOs cause to cancer, although I still prefer to keep them out of my body as much as possible. But there are studies on other "cancer causers" that are in these highly processed, chemically enhanced, artificial, unhealthy foods. Regardless of anything stated, personally I…

You should not just be concerned with weight loss, you should be concerned with your overall health. Being healthy should be a goal for everyone to have. When's the last time you heard someone honestly say "I really want to die young!" "I am excited to get cancer!" or "All this GMO stuff is awesome, give me more chemicals…

Increase your intensity or your hand weights. If that still isn't enough, then maybe it isn't for you. You might be too advanced for it, I see 30DS as a beginners program. It used to be really challenging for me, now it's TOO easy and boring. I recommend trying a more intense workout such as Insanity, P90X or RushFit. I'm…

I'm planning on signing up for the zombie run also. But just for an FYI, a friend of mine did it last year and she said it is basically a 5K sprint the entire time. Not casual running/jogging, but a sprint! That scares me, ha. Just thought I'd share her experience :)

Dress # 1, MONIQUE LHUILLIER: No doubt about it!

Go to a beginners class (if offered) so you can be sure you are doing the poses correctly. Yoga is a lot of correct breathing, and body alignment. If you have not done any yoga, and pick it up at home, you could be doing it incorrectly. I think it;s great you are wanting to start it. It is fantastic for your health. Good…

As soon as I reached 150 pounds (from 199) y weight loss halted. I've been 147-151 for EVER. It's like my body has said "nope, no more losing for you" So 25 is 5 weeks is impossible, :( Sorry. My advice is to just be patient and it will come off when it comes off. Just keep making good choices and regardless if you lose…

bump!

every day. Lipton Mandarin Orange is fabulous! And Lipton Mixed Berry

No babies for me yet... which is scary. What's going to happen to my belly once I do?! Ha... time will tell. I wanted to lose the weight before I even thought about having a child, thinking that would make it easier to get the baby weight off. I'm not sure why my/our belly/ies have the W shape, I do hate it though. I'm…

This is 50 pounds down. Before 199 After 149 5'8" I am almost to my goal but have really been struggling lately. I want to reach 145 by March 19 but that seems to be nearly impossible lately... the last 10 really are a killer. I have been slacking this last week or so and decided to post my progress pics for a little pick…

I've never posted pics before... but I've been down and really need a pick me up. So, I'm putting my face pics out to the public. I'm seeing a little change, but nothing too major.

- fruits - veggies - greek yogurt (plain, or with pb2, or with fruit, or with honey, or with granola) - hummus with pita - homemade protein bars - homemade granola bars - oatmeal muffins - cottage cheese - nuts - seeds - protein shake - kale chips (practically calorie free and so yummy) - lunch meat on melba snacks - sugar…

I'm in the exact same boat. My hips can protrude out, m spine is too visible for my liking when i bend over, and my ribs are showing. But I am anything but skinny-mini (still a size 10 pant and 25% BF). I still have a large amount of fat to lose in my belly and thighs. I am hoping that more strength training will help…

I'm not going with the crowd, I say #1, you look much younger and sexier! Both are stunning though. I love your hair pulled back.

I've made "homemade nuttella" before and it was pretty gross. I typically LOVE all of the home made versions of bad food, ha. I bake and cook all of the time. But this was an exception. I'd try the peanut butter, or almond butter, or PB2 like others are suggesting. Even though peanut butter and almond butter have the same…
