Just awesome!!

Don't work out if your blood sugar is low! That's just asking for trouble. Always test your numbers and make sure you're at least 100 when you start working out. And if you start feeling yucky during exercise, stop and test your numbers. If you're low, eat something and wait until it's back up to continue. I have severe…

I always work out when I'm tired. I find it actually helps wake me up a bit and makes me feel better.

It is important to eat slow and enjoy your food, but I can't do it!! I've been trying really hard, but I eat so fast. I just love eating!! haha I'm going to keep trying.

I plateau-d for 6 months on 1200 calories. I upped to 1600ish, and cut back exercise time, while increasing intensity, and started losing weight again. I get so hungry now, I have no idea how I was surviving on 1200!!

When I was 113 pounds I maintained on 2500 - 3000 calories a day. No joke! And I couldn't put on weight. Then I got really sick, had a bunch of medical problems, couldn't get out of bed, and put on 100 pounds. I maintained at 213 for only a couple months at 2300 calories, and then started losing weight right away.

I'm getting married in 4 months! Congratulations on your engagement and good luck with your weight loss! I'll friend invite you! :)

Congratulations!! You look awesome!

I'll have to try one of these out!! I've had a horrible time finding a good sports bra. I've lost 94 pounds but my breasts are still large and working out can be painful and annoying!

I haven't seen these! I love Chobani. I'll have to look for these.

The Special K food does not have any special ingredients to make you lose weight, it's just cutting way back on calories. I could never do that "diet," I'd be starving! Count up how many calories their diet allows you and eat real food instead.

Have you ever had your potassium levels checked? It is hard to become deficient in potassium, we get quite a lot through our diets. Not all foods that contain potassium label it, so you're getting some from those foods as well. Bananas, dark leafy greens, melon, nectarine, apple, blueberries, potatoes, legumes, beans,…

Congratulations! What an amazing feeling! Keep up the good work!

Higher intensity is the best way to burn major calories in a shorter amount of time.

Yep! I cannot workout hard early in the day. I always exercise after dinner, usually around 10 pm - or later!

I have it set as my main goal. I like seeing the huge difference - it helps keep me motivated :)

I upped my calories from 1200 to 1600-1700 and started losing weight. I'm 5'3" and was stuck at 122 pounds for 6 months!! I was exercising a ton and burning a lot of calories. I increased my calories and lost some weight and 4 total inches. I'm still in the process of it right now. But so far so good! And I LOVE getting to…

I have severe hypoglycemia. Eat enough. That is #1! If you're not eating enough to fuel your body, you will crash. Also, fiber, protein, more fiber, more protein, rinse, repeat. Fiber is super important for me. It stabilizes my blood sugar better than protein, but protein helps as well. Complex carbs. Limit simple sugars.…

When I began this I never ate at restaurants that did not have nutritional information. Now that I'm close to goal weight and a healthy weight, Im trying to enjoy eating out more and not be so rigurous, so I will go to restaurants without the information. I just try to pick a relatively healthy meal - nothing fried,…

Okay, thanks everyone! I'll do it. It's on the schedule for tonight!

I did try it. My legs were pretty tired, but overall calorie burn, it seemed kind of like a waste of time. I don't know, I think I'd rather do a different weights workout! It's on my schedule for today, so maybe I'll try it again.

That's great! Just keep doing what you're doing and eventually you'll push through. And I'm glad you're doing weights, that is awesome! Calorie cycling is where you eat different total amounts every day. There's a theory that your body gets used to the same amount of calories every day and stalls out, like eating exactly…

You've got to mix it up. Do new exercises, increase intensity of your work outs (not necessarily time, since you're so busy, but adding length can help), eat new foods, try calorie cycling.....mix it up!

My fiance was on that and gained a ton of weight, but he was also very sedentary during that time. Once he started working out and eating right. while on the drug, he lost 40 pounds.

Body fat is more important than weight. Measure your body fat (calipers, they are inexpensive) and try to get down to a healthy body fat percentage for your age.

Awesome!! Keep up the good work!!

Yum! Thank you! Some really great ideas in there I never would have thought of!

Fabulous results! You look awesome!! I'm starting P90X soon, so this was very motivating for me!

Great job!

Absolutely amazing!! Way to go!!
