couple of years but I'm 7 pounds lighter now

You look like one HOT Mama!! You are an inspiration to all. So wonderful that you decided early on in life to get healthy and fit. You'll also be a role model to your children. Bet your entire family is soooo proud of you, and rightly so. You keep it up, girl ... we're rooting for you!!!

I am supposed to eat 1200 calories but when I do, I maintain the weight. When I cut back to about 1000 calories, all healthy foods, I lose. I was not overweight when I began but wanted to trim up and shed some of the fat in my midsection. It worked great and I've lose eight pounds and at least 1-2 pant sizes. Since I'm at…

I come from a family of obese women and their mentaiity is they are eating healthy and can't lose .... until I see what they actually do eat and realize how in denial they are. You need perseverance daily until you reach your goal weight and then a change in the way you view food: eat to live and not live to eat. May not…

This program is really working for me. I was allotted 1200 calories per day but have been keeping it lower than that. I started out eating 1200 but wasn't really losing so cut it down to about 1000 a day and that's the amount I need to lose. I found good healthy food that fills me up so I'm never hungry. I'm at my goal…

Great, I have a bag of Chia seeds and never remember to sprinkle them into my food. This is a perfect solution for me and sounds relish ... Thanks!!

Lovely, but never have been into chicks.

Sounds wonderful, mbcarreno08. I'm going to give your recipe a try.

I use my crockpot several times a week. Today I cut a pear in half, put it with a few tablespoons of water along with a bit of cinnamon, and had a delicious healthy dessert. You can top it off with a bit of Greek yogurt if you like that. I do the same with apples. I make applesauce at least once a week. After the apples…

I'm usually under my calories of 1200 because I'm very selective what I eat. So I eat a lot but low calorie foods. I found if I stick with the 1200 calories a day, I don't lose weight. If you're not hungry, go to sleep and you'll be happy in the morning.

I juice vegetables in my Vitamix and find a half a glass will do the trick when I'm hungry. Or I drink almond milk, half a glass of unsweetened mixed with a half a glass of chocolate almond milk. It gives me good calcium, fills me up pretty well, and not high in calories. I try to stay away from anything that has empty…

I'm impressed at how well you're doing!! You must be a very determined person. You look wonderful in the latest photo. Keep up the good work. :flowerforyou:

I'm 5'2" and wanted to lose 5 lbs and tone up. They recommended 1200 calories a day. I work out 3 times a week with weights and on the treadmill for 30 mins at 3.4 mph. I found I was just maintaining my weight with that amount of calories so I cut back to about 1000 calories a day and found that works better for me. I eat…

When I'm trying to lose weight, I skip the alcohol altogether and drink a diet Coke with a slice of lemon. If you feel you really would like an alcoholic drink, try a glass of wine and glass of water. Take a sip from wine, the next sip from water, and alternate like that. You'll drink half the amount you usually drink.…

Will you pl share how many calories in one serving, approximately?

Congratulations on your determination and courage and hard work to achieve an 80 pound loss! You look so terrific in the photo. God bless you.
