You gotta give me that recipe! And I was going to get some protein bars but after buying the groceries for me, my bf, and our daughter I just didn't have enough. lol. Maybe next trip (:

Thanks for the tips. I could eat full fat cottage cheese and milk. And olive oil to salads. It's not that I'm not eating enough. I am I get so full. But, it's that the food I'm eating is so low in cals and I'm not sure of other healthy foods with a good amount of cals. Good food is filling but it's smaller calories. Used…

I'm not scared to eat more. I just know when my body wants to stop eating when I'm full. I hate that over full feeling, I get lethargic and I have been slowly eating more at my meals but I'm already eating good meals. Like my dinner last night. A full tilapia fillet with peppers and onions on top, a good bit of green…

Are your eyes blue or brown? In the photos the before pics they are blue and the after is brown... Did you get brown contacts?

I think your doing what's best for you & I think they did want to do something special for you, but it seems everything now days has to be celebrated with a lot of fattening food or dining out. I agree with you. I think people should find a way to celebrate things without food. lol.

I find the success stories section of the forums provides me with any motivation I might be lacking. (: Because, I can have a success story one day, too. A lot of what you find there and with others on this site is very motivating! Good luck!

Wow, you look awesome! Great job!

I am 21 and I've always been overweight to some degree, but yes after having my daughter I had trouble losing the weight. Especially, after having a C-section. I got up to 200 lbs with her from 163. I've made it down to 164.5 but to be at a healthy weight which I have NEVER been at I need to lose about 36.5 more lbs. So,…

Getting under 1000 calories a day will actually ruin your weight loss. It will slow down your metabolism in order to save energy from what you've eaten.

It also sounds to me like you're experiencing some hypoglycemic episodes. I had hypoglycemia episodes for 3 or 4 months straight up until I started dieting and exercising. And those sound just like it. So, you might want to ask your doctor about running a fasting blood test. However, women should NEVER eat below 1200…

Wow, you look awesome! You looked pretty before as well, but you look amazing now (:

I'm having the opposite, but it was in overdrive. But, then it started to hurt, to feel like I was a virgin again? It's confusing. Is that normal? Is the exercise tightening everything? lol. I thought I would and maybe I will when I lose some more weight. But, I'm the opposite right now.

I've found a lot of success with more cardio (i.e. running, elliptical machines, etc.) That ought to help. Cardio is one of the aiding factors in weight loss if your not just dieting. If you exercise, I recommend cardio. You will also continue to burn more calories as you work your abs and so on. The bike is okay, but it's…

I haven't gotten that far in yet. But, I have been using Aveeno skin firming lotion and it works wonders it is about $8 at Walmart where I live. But, it is great. Plus, sometimes I use Hemp lotion. There is one that darkens and tones the skin. (:

All I can say is that is awesome! And I'm sure it's made you guys a stronger couple going through that together (:

That is awesome! I hope you got out of that bad relationship (: And you look amazing! It's always great to see someone so determined and actually lose the weight! I bet it makes you feel awesome! You are an inspiration to me!

I am using 2 types of skin firming lotion (Aveeno Age defying skin firming lotion & Hemp Lotion it darkens your skin and firms it (: ) I would recommend that as you strength train. I have stretch marks and had a pooch that sagged below my c-section scar for awhile and it is slowly rising. And when I say stretch marks I…

I was having this problem because I feel full and I eat every 2-3 hours and I was still only ending up with 945 cals approx. I drink more V8 and 1% milk. In V8 there's an extra 50 calories with your mean (I get the low sodium one). And the 1% Milk I eat it with my egg and yogurt or what have you in the morning and that's…

Awesome! This is what my stomach looks like. Like your before photo. And I was 175 when I started 169 now. But, a long ways to go, but this gives me hope! I have more stretch marks I believe but, I'm hoping I can get my stomach back down to normal. It's taking some skin firming lotion daily as well. So far it seems to be…

I will post when I have all my weight lost (: I have stretch marks that wrap all around my belly and to part of the back of my love handles. I have had to use a firming lotion as I lose weight. I've lost 6 lbs, unfortunately since I just started my account the ticker doesn't show that. lol. I had a c-section and I'm hoping…
