UPDATE: right after I posted this, I stopped eating healthy and exercising....lol. IRONY!!! But I didn't gain any weight I just completely recomped my body to be a lot of fat and no muscle. so I am back on my fitness game and am sooo happy to be back.

lmfao!!! ;)

Check out ChaLEAN Extreme!!!! =)

Thanks lady!! It's all about those weights!!!!! =)

I do anywhere from 15-75 minutes of cardio before I do a total body weight lifting workout from the moves from the ChaLEAN Extreme workout videos =) Every day =)

Aw, thank you! I am far from toned, I'm working on it =) I follow the moves in ChaLEAN Extreme, a program by Beach Body =)

Thank you everyone for the kind words! It keeps me motivated to keep going!!!! =)

I have to add to anyone reading that currently is a fast food junkie: This kind of addiction can be broken overnight. I don't know what came over me. Literally at 11:30 on December 31, I had Arby's. Once midnight passed, I vowed that I was done with fast food and turned over a new leaf. I didn't "wean" I just, plain,…

Yeah he's one of those that thinks more reps = tones muscles. Which I guess it may for some, right? Not me apparently ;) hahaha.

Hahaha. No, he could outlift me for sure. But he was trying to convince me of that "lighter weights, more reps" mentality and I was like heeeeck no!

awesome!

You look absolutely amazing. When I get closer to my goal weight, I totally want to get into New Rules now. Edit: I'm doing a lot of free strength training with every workout now, just nothing structured. Just thought I should clarify. Ha.

amazing results!

I have lost 4.5 inches on my hips and 4 inches from my waist in 2 months. Weight lifting, green tea, eating low glycemic index foods all helped!

You can see my pictures from my profile, 24 lbs down so far and about to upload some more. Feel free to add me if you want. I'm 22! =)

You look like you've lost WAY more than 2% BF, that's awesome, you go girl!!!

I have lost 24 lbs which I guess is kinda close - you can see the before & after in my profile picture. Add me if you want.

I had never heard of the ultimate reset. Great work!!!!!!!

What a fabulous story!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

It's not like women go through puberty at 20. They actually do it around age 10. I wasn't aware of a secondary puberty that my body goes through that caused this secondary weight gain...I mean, it would be nice, but I think I just ate too much. OP, I'm 5'8'' and would kill to be 130. I weigh 154 right now. My goal is to be…

dang, it's too big. right click on it and select "view image" if you want to see the whole image. sorry ladies.

HEY 5'8'' LADIES! I'm 5'8'' and a quarter ;) I'm not a success yet but I've lost 24 lbs so far... SW: 176, CW 152. My pics are on my profile. I will go see if I can upload them somewhere to see if I can figure out how to post my pics. They are on my profile if you want to add me!

I'd HARDLY call mine a success story, more of a work in progress, but here it goes: When I started (January 1), I could barely run for 15 seconds without stopping and my heart rate getting to 195 bpm. Seriously. I mean, out of shape...to the max. So I did treadmill time as long as I could (walking, walking at an incline,…

It's not necessarily the fact that it is a liquid, but how you've made it a liquid. By removing the structure (namely fiber) of the fruit and vegetable, it's basically taken the "work" out of it for your body and BAM blood sugar goes way up. There are some juicers that don't take as much fiber our and are much better for…

Well, I have the polar FT7. My husband has the same one but the male version of it (bigger, more masculine looking). It has a chest strap. I am incredibly out of shape and my heart rate goes very high when I work out (often to the 190s and break 200 frequently). He is in great shape, so obviously his heart rate is much…

Read up on the glycemic index! It is key to understand the correlation between diabetes/insulin/insulin resistance/PCOS to help lose weight with that condition. Good luck!! =)

You could add "that's what she said" to any of these comments. hahahahahaha

I prefer a cup with a straw that I sip on. I can usually get 4 liters that way. But I really like smart water bottle because they are easy to grip. I can easily get 6 liters in that way =)

Your blood sugar is probably spiking because there is no fiber/low fiber and no protein to stabilize your blood glucose levels and your body is trying to dilute the blood.

I want to see more pics!!!! I have the WORST lower belly pooch ugggggh.
