Amazing!!!! Such an inspiration for all of us out there!

hahahaha!!! Love it!

I have no problem with them. People say poison, but then again....anything we do can be considered bad for us if we do it too much. I'm sticking with the everything in moderation. If someone has a fear of using real sugar because of the calories, then I think there may be a problem there....but using it to flavor coffee or…

I'm 5'3" or 5'4"...and I'm at 135...hoping to get to 125. My work out...well, I didn't do anything for a LONGGG time. But, I started P90X again to gain muscle which burns more calories at rest than fat does....so I'm sore right now. I dont' do his whole program....I switch between arms and back, and legs, and abs...the…

I'm 5'3" (I say 5'4" though a lot), and I'm at 135. I would LOVE to be 125, but I guess I'll be happy with anything just under 130.

1982 :) Wow...and I just turned 30 in January, Has it been that long already?

I read it...then I looked at their sources and and their degrees...and yeah, it's not legit info.

I like the avocado idea. I like cheese as well and used to use fat free cheese, but then changed to regular cheese. The fat helps hold me over longer. I also use the "light" mayo...but I haven't lost the taste for it yet :) As for bread...there are the lower calorie breads that are like 45 calories per slice. I use those…

We tried those miracle noodles. The "Shirataki noodles from Japan contain zero calories and zero carbs and are gaining a following amongst flab fighters around the country as a miracle alternative to traditional pasta." They made us gag. They had no taste, which is fine so you can add your own sauce. But they were SLIMEY!!…

I've been slacking a lot on the motivation part. I like to read Self magazine, or Fitness or something. Looking at those healthy people...makes me want to work out :) Or...go clothes shopping! That one REALLY makes me want to come home and work out :) Good luck!

Wow!!! Great job!

Only one of those! I'm 5'4" :) Good luck finding that! It'd be kind of cool if you did! That's pretty specific! :)

Yep. Everyone's body structure is a little different. Some people have a pear shape, some apples...etc. My thighs always touch. Even during my eating disorder when I was like 90 pounds at my high school graduation. Now, I'm trying to convince myself that I like them that way :) haha....I know that's a hard thing to make…

I read a lot of comments about marriage being nothing more than a piece of paper. Which, to each their own opinions, but I am the belief that marriage is a commitment between 2 people to spend their lives together, to be there for each other, until the end. Everyone is welcome to their opinion, but I thought that maybe it…

I was! I put my ring size all over the calendar so he knew :) I also sent him pictures of rings I liked :) And...one year later, we were married :) Our wedding was really small..but fun. Just family that came from WI to visit in FL. Got married in a public park (free), went to a restaurant for lunch (like $500), and then…

Wow!!! Great job! Can I ask what your height is? I need motivation, so if you're similar to me, it's AWESOME motivation! :)

I'm starting my 3rd semester of the PhD program, and hope to be ABD by fall, and then just writing my dissertation. I don't work out...I don't eat that horrible either though. I'm maintaining, but I feel fat. I always feel guilty if I try to take time off during the semester to work out...especially when I have work to do!…

Sorry...I just saw this too about someone saying that it's to each their own. Sorry to say though...that if someone has a kid that is disabled because they chose to smoke...it does affect all of us. We pay for their health care...so that's why I say smoking while pregnant is child abuse...and ...probably abuse of the…

ooops...extra response

Holy moly!!! I just read your topic without reading other's comments...so sorry if this offends anyone, or has been said already. But, for me...that's 100% child abuse!!!! To begin with! Crazy!! If you are pregnant...whether by accident or purpose, you have the responsibilty to create a good kid!!! If you happen to mess it…

Wow...that was awhile ago, and this thread is still open! Why aren't they shutting this promotion of healthy ideas down! And especially when there are people trying to sell this crap!

I've looked at past journals that have done studies on this....and the conclusion from all is that: It is not the drops/shots that make you lose weight....but the 500 calorie diet.

I didn't read all of the comments....so if this is a duplicate, I'm sorry. But...I lived in Milwaukee for awhile, and they had multiple deaths a year from co-sleeping with kids. I know they started a controversial campaign to get people to stop doing it too. I don't know if this was what you were looking for, or if I just…

I'm not here to attack or say anything bad, but I've done research in the past on studies that looked at HCG. NONE of them found the hormone effective for weight loss...it was the 500 calories per day that made people lose weight. Save your money...and just do the diet part and not the drops or injections :)

Yep. I read a study awhile ago (like a year or more) about them showing that there was no evidence they contributed to weight loss. In terms of antioxidents, like others are saying, they are good :)

YES!!!! Why take the chance when you can be protected! I got the gardisil (or however you spell it) shots when I was 23, and they did hurt. However, I also heard that the younger they get them...the less painful they are. I don't think it would hurt to get them...and they can only help!

Oh..and the cloves of garlic, I just use minced garlic that is pre-minced from the grocery store. Seems to work for me :)

I've never seen carrots have a lot of calories....but that's not my point here :) I agree with all of the above, anything that has calories should be logged.

That is inspiring! I love how you look toned and went up in weight! Just goes to show that you can't always go by the scale! (hope more people will realize that too from this! :)
