I understand! My family has been so supportive of my journey, and then when I was t the very highest end of being in a healthy BMI, they tell me I'm skin and bones and need to eat some cake. What the heck?!

I drink Shakeology! I used to crave Reese's Pieces and chocolate, buy it has almost stopped my cravings altogether :)

I've been doing Beachbody challenge groups, and they keep me motivated and on track because I have daily support from others :)

Annie, One thing that has helped me really vary my diet is looking at people's food diaries here on My Fitness Pal. It gave me lots of good ideas for new snacks and meals so I don't get bored. I'm not sure about the macros and all that. I'm just counting calories (which I know some people would probably say is stupid), but…

Thanks for all the info!!! I will look into that model and check out the features. I just want one that will be accurate long term and not mess up after a few months. Thanks again!

Thanks, Janelle. I didnt know that about your heart rate getting too high. Interesting...

Thanks for the tip about cardio/strength training...hopefully I can get my abs lookin like yours!

Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I love having an awesome community to chat with/give advice. Ill definitely use them moving forward. I think I need to do less cardio and more weights, and I also need to add more protein to my diet. Ive also seen tons and tons of plank workouts. Thanks again guys :)

Congrats! You look great! Keep it up :)

Looks tasty! I've never had collards...

I don't think the treadmills at my gym are quite 8 years old, but my HRM usually tells me I've burned 150 more in an hour than the treadmill counter does. I'm a 158 lb. female, 5'8. Hope this helps!

I feel ya girl!!!!! I usually make Saturday night my one night out for drinking, but at other events and things, people are not very supportive. For instance, we were at a Super Bowl party on a Sunday night and several comments were made about why I was drinking water instead of beer. It's annoying, and I'm in the same…

Thanks for the info! I've been looking everywhere for the plan :)

I don't have a subscription to Netflix, but I've been thinkin' about getting one. I'm kinda shocked that the workouts are on there...thanks for the info!

Thanks so much for all your suggestions :) I'm going to finish reading them all, and then order one or two DVDs tonight. Thanks all!

The victory dance is essential to the process :)

I wish I could do that with you...but weighing in each week is what keeps me going.

Im glad to have you as a friend! We can motivate each other! :) We got this girl...
