LOVE IT!! Just signed up to be a distributor on February 2nd, and couldn't be more pumped!! With the 10 day Herbal Cleanse I lost 6 pounds and 3.25 inches, and also with the help of my personal trainer. I hadn't been taking any vitamins or supplements prior to the cleanse/challenge because the ones I had taken in the past…

I am yeast free, which is harder than gluten free (at least for me!!) I'm not allowed to have bread, alcohol, many fruits (only berries allowed right now), dairy, pasta (I cheat sometimes on that!), and of course anything with yeast. I can always tell when I eat something I'm not supposed to because I'll get extremely…

VSX Sports Bras from Victoria's Secret are my ultimate FAVORITE!!!

I actually HATE running on treadmills...and tend to have not very good workouts when I do get on them. What I find helps while on it is that I put my hand towel over all of the numbers, and then it goes a bit faster...but I still hate it!! I feel like I get a better workout outside, because I like the scenery and just get…

This is awesome! I had this minor freak out this morning, because I started off great, then had a couple of cake balls and ice cream for a graduation party for a kid at work...then I lost it! :( And since I hadn't drank in over a month, I had a couple of beers...sigh. at least they were light beers right?? haha We all have…

Went to school for Music Education (but changed to double major in Sociology and then in Music- Voice) and was in a few operas in the chorus but never wanted the lead roles (super competitive, and I'm not really a diva lol) Sang opera in college, had a couple recitals, and still enjoy singing everything from pop to opera…

I'm also a shortie at 5'1"...I just started to be serious about my journey to weight loss and have lost 4, almost 5 lbs so far this year! I'm hoping to by around 130 like I used to be back in the day when I was all toned up and lookin' kick *kitten*! I'll share my success story when I get there, but us shorties gotta stick…

Maybe you aren't eating ENOUGH calories? Sometimes when you don't eat enough your body goes into starvation mode and stores that fat because it thinks it's not getting enough and there is a shortage! If you are exercising, make sure you eat more protein, especially after a workout. That's just some of the things I've…

I too generally work out in the mornings. I usually have a bowl of cereal 30 minutes before my workout and sometimes have some wheat toast and a glass of juice. 30 minutes later I'm hitting it at the gym and then afterwards I always have something to eat, whether that be just a few slices of deli meat, fruit, or a granola…

Seated row and lat pulldowns. Also the pull ups and dips mentioned before!! Planks work your core but also help your back too I've found!! The Superman exercise is a good one too. Congrats on your upcoming wedding!! :D

I've been on here for a little while now but haven't been serious about it the whole time. The past few months I've been more dedicated but also having a motivation plateau right now! This site is great for that little bit of encouragement that you need! Best of luck on your new journey!! Tara Leola*~

untrue according to the post in which they offer for more sizes lol my bad!
-
That is untrue!! :) They cater to fuller sizes, and have more sizes online available if they aren't in the store :) VS also have a great line of sports bras that also cater to your needs...like for maximum support for running or for little support when you do yoga....I only have VS bras!! (though I am a little biased being…
-
I used to be a sales associate at Victoria's Secret...if you want maximum lift, go for the bombshell bra..it has the memory foam technology (when your body temperature heats up, it molds to you for a more perfect fit) just like the Dream Angels collection, but it does give you a boost of 2 cup sizes. If that's too much for…
-
I'm so sorry to hear about that :( I would want to binge eat as well, but wouldn't it feel good to not do that, lose weight and say see what that A-hole missed?!!? When I'm pissed off (I'm going through so not so fun things right now as well...living and landlord wise), which has made me even more motivated to kick my…

My allergist told me no more diary or peanuts in my diet due to high levels of the antigens in my blood stream. God did I feel like one crabby chick for a while, but now that I'm 1 month into it, I feel like I have so much more energy as well as choosing better foods, which are more natural. It really sucks, because…
-
Good for you!!! :D That's always my favorite feeling when I can get my "fat jeans" back to being baggy :) Keep up all of that awesome work!!

I've read in my Runner World book for Woman that it's better to warm up your muscles by walking swiftly rather than stretch cold muscles. You can stretch AFTER you warm up, which will help your muscles. For your shins hurting, I would suggest going to a place that specializes in running shoes and getting fitted for better…

I went a little overboard this past weekend too, you're human, it happens!!! As long as you can be determined enough to work on today and the next to do better, that's all that matters. I felt a little guilty too this past weekend, then I thought, I've been doing so well, I needed that little breather :) If you can find…

I've gained 30 pounds last year, much of which I blame my 50 mg Zoloft I take every day, as I work out 4-6 days a week for 45 minutes to an hour. I've found it extremely difficult to lose weight on it, but it makes me feel less anxious/depressed, so I'm OK with it! I work with emotionally disturbed kids, and I've noticed…
-
I'm glad to hear that you are on the right track to getting yourself mentally stable and healthy! I am a mental heath professional and work with severely emotionally disturbed youth. You've already done all of the hardest work by getting to the doctor and getting help, so great job!!! :D I too suffer from some anxiety, but…
-
YES! I usually gain 3-6 pounds during my period and it really sucks! It usually all vanishes as soon as it has passed and completed its' cycle, but boy that week really bites the big one. I've found mine to be mostly water weight. I usually crave a lot of salty things, but I tell myself it won't do me any good to feed into…
-
I usually allow myself one cheat day a week, I'd go crazy if I couldn't! I too go out to a nice place to eat and not eat necessarily "bad" foods, just eat more carbs (they are my vice!) I love a good pasta dish, so that's what I usually have, or I'll have a serving more of wheat thins and spinach dip (another one of my…

I too was suffering from severe headaches daily and migraines 1-2 times a week. I went to see the chiropractor and I found out that I was having headaches because my neck and back were SOOO out of line!! I went 3 times a week for 3 months and haven't had a migraine since. (that was in the summer of 2008!) I too agree with…
-
Yeah, my allergist said that I would have to be on this diet for at least 3 months, until my next checkup/skin test/blood test. It's not supposed to be permanent..but there are a lot of benefits from it!! I've been pretty sluggish this past week because of my body expelling the yeast, but I'm starting to feel a lot better!…
-
I have major problems with that too!! I tend to notice it shortly before my menstral cycle and I can't get full enough! What I notice that helps is to drink a lot of water. I'm on the same boat as you, and we can get through it! I sometimes put some Crystal Light in my water too, making sure that there's lots of ice cubes…
-
I love having smoothies, plus they can be full of all of that yummy energy for your brain! They are pretty filling as well as full of good nutrients (as long as you make them anyways!) Good luck with your exams! Tara Leola*~
-
I too just fell this past week..in the shower. I hurt my gIutes pretty badly with some very colorful bruising to show for it! I had to cut back my training schedule, which really sucked!!! I would say rest for 5-7 days and then get back at it again. You want to make sure that you are alright and healed enough to get back…
