Wonderful ! You look great in your new bikinis!

Relax! Don't get all jammed up about it, just plan ahead. If you are going out to eat or getting good take out, plan for it and then just eat a healthy regular breakfast if you usually eat breakfast, try to work in one healthy salad or.veggie meal for the weekend, concentrate on getting in a good healthy protein in your…

Congratulations! You look very pretty-- and happy! That is an inspiring weight loss.

I don't know what is wrong with someone who would say such things. You have to believe in yourself and tell him to knock off the hurtful comments.

Anyone who loses 85 pounds IS a success! You already are one! Give yourself a pat on the back, and keep up the good work.

I don't push myself to the point of puking in my workouts. I would be embarrassed to be that out of control at my gym. For cardio, i work my plan. If I start to feel lightheaded, i stop and just go to walking and breathing. For weights, i go until I can no longer move the body part or until I finish my sets. Or until…

No offense meant to you at all. But if you have already told your husband not to eat the food you prepared (and it sounds delicious BTW), short of putting a sign on it telling him to leave it alone, like some people suggested, what else can you do but find out why your husband doesn't respect the boundaries you set?

If this is truly a real post and not something made up, you guys need counseling, both medical and psychological. Not trying to be mean, this is truly sad. it goes beyond just eating. Good luck to you both..

I wouldn't eat it on a regular basis, but it's find for a treat, just look for the "best" choice available. My favorite breakfast meat is Canadian bacon, good combo of protein and less fat. But you can feast on several pieces for just one piece of regular sausage.

For perfect stabilization of the largest boobs, get The Last Resort Bra. it hooks in the front, but I wear my under tees or tanks. Haven't used anything else since I found this one. Works through Zumba, running, Boxing, personal training, yoga, burpees, etc. No underwires, doesn't need them. OMG best bra for big boobs…

Green tea is great! My husband makes a cold mixture of green tea, a little black tea brewed together, then mixes a little fresh orange juice and some stevia in there. It's great.

How big is the cake? LOL Seriously, you have to do better than that. Either check the recipe of a scratch cake, add all ingredients and then make a finite number of slices , use the box mix amounts, or either measure by inches or weigh it. You have to do some work to figure some of these.

I started yoga to help my core and it has been wonderful. Yoga, pilates, and any exercise that works your core muscles are the best things for all of those areas,. Crunches... not so much. Planks are best, and have lots of variations. When you are in position think of tightening every muscle from toe to shoulders,…

Asics Gel Envigor TR for Zumba. I tried several pairs of everything, and these worked best. I have two in different colors and alternate them. For everything else I use my Mizuno waves.

Hellls Yes!!! Way to go! Girls rule!

This! My protein shake doesn't have the best taste but I just slam it so it's OK. Then, lunch with some protein, carbs and fat.

Taking a total break from the type of exercises that you are doing helps. Get lots of rest; go to the movies at the same time you'd normally be in the gym . Rest like crazy. Take a short walk if that's not your usual, or ride a bike. Get rest, and totally break from your routine. Once you make yourself take off, you'll…

Southern girl here! While there's no doubt the south has some healthy traditional food, you just have to look to find it. Maybe it's the choice of places to eat. The RTP area can give you whatever healthy food you need. Durham was named one of the best food cities in the South by Southern Living and their whole dining…

I think if you are going to lift with the big boys you need to learn how to ask for the equipment. A quick, " you using that?" or " can I have that bench if you're done?" should suffice. If they are truly giving you attitude, go find some help from someone in the admin staff they will listen to. Challenge them! Bad…

If you have pain on eating anything for a few days, for heaven's sake go to the doctor! I ate a delicious lobster roll while out shopping once. That night I got very sick to my stomach. Still sick the next day. Sparing the gory details-- emergency room/discomfort/ specialists/outpatient surgery.,,, out of commission way…

This. All you ladies on this thread look awesome! Thanks for the inspiring photos!

delicious homemade black bean and chicken burrito with Greek yogurt, with crunchy broccoli salad on the side. After reading these suggestions though, I 'm going to try some of them this week. Tomorrow is Salmon with an Asian glaze.

Oh for sure. Be sure to keep up with all your medical "numbers" maybe in a weight loss journal-- resting HR, cholesterol, BP-- it's ALL going to change. Depending on your heredity, you may have to keep taking some meds longer than others but work out hard, drop some weight, and your numbers will really improve. That's one…

Sounds like you are getting a wise man for your new husband! I like his take on the situation! Perhaps the two of you should find a nice place to vacation during this wedding from hell and then just enjoy the tapes of it later at your ieisure. Sister's crazy demands are just wrong, wrong,wrong. JMO. Good luck to you!

This is a very reasonable analysis of the situation, I think. Some of us can't deal with a controlling person making unreasonable demands, some say just suck it up for your sister. Honestly I am surprised there will be any of her friends at the wedding. Or that there will be one, when groom 's friends and families tell HIM…

You poor thing! You've done right to just keep on working your plan and deal with the dress size issues as it gets closer to time for the wedding. Even in the BEST of wedding situations, it will be a bit tense, but I agree with others who think your poor sister has problems going beyond bridesmaid dresses. Probably a bit…

IT sounds like you're doing a lot of high intensity exercise. Are you getting lots of protein as soon as you're finished to help rebuild your muscles? If you just changed up your routine you might need to adjust your food , too. I kept my workouts increasing and progressing. I did notice I was pretty much tired all the…

I get up, eat breakfast, and head for the gym first thing, so here's what I eat, besides what others have suggested: Half a cup of Quaker Oats, one cup of water, put in large glass bowl in microwave and blast for 2 1/2 minutes. While it's cooking, I grab my bag of frozen blueberries from the freezer and put 1/2 cup of…

Yes, Me too!
