I actually HAVE heard of similar ideas before!!!! I attended a fitness boot camp, and every week we had an "assignment." One week it was to cut out all WHITE foods!!! The idea was to start eating more whole grains... but still.. kinda cute :smooched:

I get it.. I just don't agree. I know that in theory I could do this.. but as I posted earlier, I'm a mom, and this isn't something I would teach my kids. Why? Because, for me PERSONALLY (see what I did there? all caps.. makes it official!), it's a lifestyle and not a diet. I'm not trying to be superwoman fit girl or a…

My first thought is.. would this be something you teach your kids.. if you have them? I wake up hungry.. I believe in fueling a hungry body. I'm not bashing you if it works for you, but I think this whole thing is a lifestyle.. and not eating breakfast isn't a lifestyle I want my kids learning or practicing. But... This is…

It makes me--errrr--make many trips to the bathroom, if you catch my drift :blushing: And all that "stuff" they put in the food... well it gives me gas, too. So, for me, I don't want to feel like I'm on one of those Gas-X commercials where everything anyone says sounds like "fart" or "toot"... but that's just me!!!

I'm a mom.. I had my son in January of this year. It takes lots of discipline, and you CAN do it!! I gained over 40 lbs during mine.. And I wasn't able to lose it just by sitting around like some other people you may know! I started running 6 weeks post partum, I counted calories like crazy, and I did it! You can too, I…

I'm taking a Young Adult Lit class.. so all my books are from the juvenile section :blushing: I just read Unwind by Neal Schusterman... I loved it!

I'm 5'4" I stay around 120-122# I love running!!!! :love:

I used to have some ooh la la shape to me.. But now after having a baby, my shape is all gone. :sad: I never thought I'd miss the bootay!!

I heart MFP. Thank you for helping me lose 55 lbs of baby weight. You rock :glasses:

Ahem.. is it hott in here!? lol You look smokin'... nice job!! Jaw lines are SEXY! :drinker:

That is so funny and awesome at the same time!!! Isn't it an amazing feeling when you realize that you've made a permanent change in your lifestyle!? Way to go!

The vest I'm wearing =) The last time I tried it on, I couldn't even get close to buttoning it. Now.. It's a little loose. Ahhh.. victory.. :love:

1. Educating myself on calorie intake and nutrition. I was DUMB when it came to food! Still am, sometimes... 2. RUNNING!! I never liked it before. Now I hate missing a day! 3. Breastfeeding :laugh: :blushing:

First of all.. are you licking the mic in your second picture!? :laugh: Secondly.. you look amazing! You should be very proud of your success.. Way to gooooo!!!!!! :flowerforyou:

Yep.. I use Bio Oil too. And it lasts forever!! But my stretchmarks were new ones, from pregnancy

I'm the same way! I run at night.. and before bed I'm sporting a hoodie and sweat pants because I'm so cold! I hope that's normal.. lol

I most definitely CAN tell the difference.. what amazing progress! Good luck on the rest of your journey!

Woohoo that's awesome!!

WOW You look and are AMAZING! Congrats =) :flowerforyou:

That used to be me!! My feet would swell so bad it looked like I was preggo. It turned out to be my birth control causing me to retain water. Once I stopped taking that particular kind, they went back to normal. Best of luck!

Me too! And whoever said pecans.. what is wrong with you!? haha Just kidding! But seriously.. black olives are okay on pizza, green olives are not okay. EVER.

That is such an amazing story.. SOOOO proud of you! You are such an inspiration to set your goals and really stick to them; and a ring? What an awesome reward, right!? Congrats, that is simply wonderful :flowerforyou:

WOW you look FANTASTIC. Congrats on pushing through it all.. you are AMAZING! :flowerforyou:

That's exactly what I was going to say! :happy:

Hope you're not sick! Just listen to your body. If you're not hungry, my opinion is don't force yourself to eat. One day won't kill you.. I don't think.. :flowerforyou: Good luck!

That is so awesome =) Congrats

You look incredible!! AWESOME job! And your swimsuit is super cute =)

You look AH-MAZING :flowerforyou:
