Congrats. I know that feeling. It's a wonderful feeling. I wish you continued success.

Thank you so much. I will have to remember this when I reach my goal.

To me they taste better so much so I don't have to use Milk in the shake. I just use steam distilled water. You can keep that whey stuff. If I can't stomach the taste I know I won't use it. I was only trying to give her other options.

Body bi vi protein shakes. 7 carbs, 1 fat, 12 protein, and 5 fiber. I know it's 40 bucks a month, but well worth it.

Today is day 170 for me. I started Thanksgiving day. I quit soda. I work out 6 days a week. I only drink water about 8-12 glasses a day. Ate around 1200 calories more or less a day. Had some bumps along the way, but just kept putting in the work. When the cravings would go nuts I would take a walk or take a bath. I wish…

first love the name and second amazing amazing transformation.

People will tell you don't eat less then 1200 calories and bump it up to atleast 2000. I eat 1200, I eat 4 meals every 4 hours. I work out everyday except Sunday. Plateaus happen and aren't any fun. What times are you eating? Are you eating within minutes of waking up? It will eventually break and you will lose again. I…

I'm a vegetarian so it's harder for me to get protein in without high fat or carbs. They work for me. That added bonus was my hair and nails are growing again. 7 carbs, 1 fat, and 12 protein is good to me. I use them for breakfast and after workouts.

You do what works for you and I will do what has been working for me. 150 days, 47.2 pounds, BMI down 6.2 percent. You're life is different then my life. Do you have a gall bladder, do you have thyroid issues, or do you have my life? I limit myself to 80 carbs, less then 32 fat, and try to get in as much protein as I can.…

with so many success stories how is everyone doing it? It's nice to see other 5'2 girls winning the fitness battle. Keep it going ladies. We can do this.

I don't know how to post the pictures, but if you add me they are in there. I'm 5'2 SW 209 CW 161.8 at day 142.

I had to watch Carbs and Sodium with mine. I'm addicted to the scale, measure myself, and have done all of that. I work out from 2-3 hours a day depending if it's a circuit and cardio day or a ab and strength training day. You will find what works best for you. Make sure you get 7 hours of sleep that was another biggie for…

I used to be the exact same as you. 30 mins after a meal and no problems. Then I started dieting and the other problem started happening. It drove me crazy. I tried the teas, prunes, and everything everyone kept telling me. Here's the thing I lack a gall bladder. I have a friend who's a chiropractor. She told me to try a…

You hate to comment on these message boards for fear of being attacked. I get my blood work back on Wednesday. They said I might have a disease with mine added to low thyroid. I already went for the ultrasound. I found that drinking all my water for the day, cutting my sodium to under 1000, and eating less then 50 carbs a…

I try to keep my carbs under 50 so I can burn more fat. It's hard to do, but for me to see the results it's a must. 50 or less extreme loss. 51-100 slow weight loss. 101 and up maintaining.

Everyone truly looks amazing. It has given me new hope. Most of my weight is on my stomach after years of depression and not taking care of myself. I hope I look half as good as the rest of you. So inspiring.

5'2" at 41. SW 209 at the doctors office they had 213 CW 162.8 GW 132

Today my husband owes me a cruise. I started my weight loss on Thanksgiving. Today I'm down 43.4 pounds and this was the weight I was in 2005 when my husband came home from Iraq on took me on our first cruise. I start a job at the hospital in two weeks so I had to get white pants. I fit into a Junior size 11!!…

Watch carbs, strength train, watch your sodium, make sure you get good amount of sleep and drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.

I eat it. What else can you eat for a snack that's 10 calories, no fat, the biggie NO CARBS, and it has protein in it. People will say good and bad in it, but I figure it's better then what I used to eat that made me 44 pounds heavier.

Mine is different. I find I stay on track when I watch carbs and sodium. I always stay within my calorie goal, but eating fruit will always make you go over. I've been on mfp for 120 days now and I find carbs and sodium are my keys to success or failure. So the sugar isn't a consideration anymore.

how well with your gall bladder functioning? I don't have one. If you eat a diet with fat in it you need to help your body process the fat. You need to order bile salts. I use standard process ones and they work for me.

Some people will say yes. They drive me crazy. They say that without knowing your lifestyle or stats. My nutritionist advised me it is just fine for my medical conditions and my age. Don't let people discourage you. If you want reassurance then I would check with your doctor. So many people bashed me for the 1200 calories…

Who says we don't want to see the shirtless pics after the one taken today. Very impressive. WTG!!

I'm a vegetarian and I lack a gall bladder. I use the body bi vi shakes because I'm not hungry in the morning before I work out. What else gives you 12 protein and only comes at the cost of 7 carbs? Nothing that I would eat. So I use one or two a day. What works for you is great, but the people saying they won't work in…

You have to start weight training. Cardio worked for me for awhile, but I didn't get tone from it. I had to start lifting weights. My arms and my legs are tone. They said my stomach could take up to a year to see the full result. I'm not going for a "diet". This is a lifestyle change for me. I hope you get the answer you…

Age: 41 Height: 5'2 Starting weight: 209.4 New weight: 172.6 Calorie intake daily: around 1200 Exercise routine: Monday Weds Friday..33 mins of circuit training & 45 mins of cardio. Tuesday & Thursday Ab circuit, 39 minutes strength training. That's all the legs, arms, and ab machines with 5 sets of 12reps. Saturday cardio…

I don't want to get negative on someone's post, but some people don't have a gall bladder. Cause drama? Do it for attention? You do what works for you. People will say one thing then turn around and have another pay contradict what the other person said. I have to eat low, carb, low fat, and low sodium so I lose weight. So…

That was amazing. First, I didn't have to guts to even take a picture. You have really made great progess. You mind telling us how you lost so much skin? I have more then you it seems and would appreciate any advise you have. Thank you.,
