I was teased all throughout my childhood for being the chubby kid. I was the girl that guys would ask if my friends would date them. But never me. Even kids that were bigger than me, would tease me for being chubby. Some of the comments I've been getting after I lost weight have actually bothered me more: Co-worker: "You…

Try meal prepping. On the weekend, prep some meals for the remainder of the week. It will be easier since everything is already cooked and portioned out into containers. Maybe take a cooking class together. It may create a spark of enjoyment, and it could be a nice way to bond and just have some fun together.

Lower your carbs. Fat and protein aren't the problem.

Quest Protein Bars are AMAZING! I buy them by the box. My favorites are the cinnamon bun and apple pie. I have tried all of them except the lemon one so far. They are excellent.

This. Lol. Congrats on your success. :)

I love quest bars. GNC sells them all, and there is a sale till the 26th of June this month. Buy one box, get the second half off. Also, buy three individual, get one free. I have heard some are also sold at Fairway.

Good idea

You look amazing! Great results. I signed up for their newsletter.

I agree. I made the choice to change my life and lose weight because I had a breakthrough on my own and was ready to change my life, and I just did it. Friends, acquaintances, doctors can tell you to lose weight, but for some people, that won't make you change until you have your own breakthrough. You don't want to have…

I don't know about dressing, but I like to use a little whipped cream or cottage cheese.

Bump to the extreme! Now all I need is to make my own fries to dip them in.

Grilled veggies. I season and bake broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and asparagus. When I make salmon, I put it in a salad with veggies and light dressing.

I've gotten some very nice comments, and some not so very nice comments in my opinion. When my face started to become slim, a co-worker of mine said, "before you were cute, now you're pretty" I responded to her saying, "I'm beautiful!" She also asks me all the time if I lost anymore weight. And she does this all the time…

Congratulations! I also got to Onderland! Weighed myself this morning and started crying I was so happy. And then I started dancing around my room at 7:00 in the morning, lol. SW: 208 HW: 217 CW: 199 GW: 145 UGW: 135 Add me, :)

HAHAHA. THIS IS FANTASTIC!

I agree. Exercising is exercising. It has nothing to do with commitment.

I would love to get back to a size 8 in jeans, and then down to the 6 I wanted to be. Right now I am a size 14. I wear large and mostly x-large shirts. I would like to be able to wear small and mediums. I gave some t-shirts that were mediums to good will recently. I had been saving them, but it created too much pressure…

Hello all! I started RI30 and I am on Week 1 Day 4. I skipped a day but I will be making it up before I start the second week of the workout. I really enjoy working out with Jillian. I have asthma so I have to take small breaks to catch my breath. It really does bring me down a bit that my asthma stops me from really…

Same. Right before each workout, I went the strap. I did have some complications a couple times. The watch told me to check my transmitter, so I had to restart the whole thing. But since I realized I had it for awhile, I ended up changing the battery and that did the trick. I have two Polar FT7's. The reason why I have two…

I did the same with pop tarts lol. It states 200 calories a pastry, which for some reason I assumed would be one package. No, it really is one pastry. Since there are two pastries a pack, I was consuming an extra 400 calories. No bueno.
