sounds great -- thx!

If you google strong lifts 5x5 and read their stuff (its pretty short and sweet), but its a great weight lifting program. And easy. Like, you only do 3 lifting exercises every other day. And you get RESULTS ... good results. The site has videos to show you the proper way to do each lift etc so it makes it easier if you are…

I don't feel that way at all -- actually never. I key in everything on the computer (no scanning with phone) and really, no one is going to "encourage" me to eat prepackage stuff. I mean, they can try (ie tv, radio, magazines) but meh, using MFP or not, its the persons choice. But yea, I've never had a problem finding…

So yea, I'm in for a big NO on the "up to $80 PER DAY!!!" whaaaaat? Insane! But this too ... "markets a set of four Children’s Cleanse liquid extracts for $99 that are meant to be paired with a raw diet and promise “to nourish and cleanse” everything from the lungs and liver to the adrenals and colon. The program is aimed…

Ha! April Fools! OPs got y'all :)

CRAZY!!!! :noway: This has DEFINITELY been A LOT of work! Awesome job lady killer -- and I know I don't need to tell u how much YOUNGER you look!! :smile:

^^ hahaha I thought this too!! Easy to eat 1000 or 3000 but not 2000? I'm just lost haha

My daughter and I drink natural calm raspberry-lemon. It's fizzy so if u don't like that, let it sit a minute then drink. We take 1 teaspoon about every day. You can find it in health food stores or online like amazon. She takes it because she has cerebral palsy and bowels are always an issue. I take it because it really…

At Shawnee Lake swinging my one and only little sweetness!!

Best thing I've read all day! I love that quote btw! :) Congrats on a whole new and improved life -- your smile radiates it all!

Agreed - I have taken sugar off my board and only have macros (carbs/fats/protein). The allotted sugar is ridiculous! I eat grapes, bananas, apples etc A LOT and I've lost! Seriously, I'll usually eat 2 clementines, a banana, an apple and some other fruit ... DAILY ... and I've lost wonderfully. What I don't eat much off…

INCREDIBLE!!! Look at you, you sexy lil vixen!!!! My goodness! You look younger, refreshed, joyful and radiate with that gorgeous confident smile!! I hope you are sooooooo proud!!!!!

Wanting the scale to move is like DRIVEN INTO OUR SKULLS!! Makes you feel good when it goes down. And I'll be damned, you feel like crap when it doesn't!!!! But your pictures scream PROGRESS! Glad you took them too! Great job with preserving lil mama!

That's A LOT of walking! Kudos for having the time for that and DOING IT!! :) But hows the diet? Are you eating enough? Too much? What types of stuff are you eating? Hows the water intake? Hows the sleeping?? Unfortunately, its just so much more than exercising.

^^ Seriously!!! That's what I'm sayin!! I'm like no, I don't kiss relatives on the lips. No, I don't want you rubbing your hand on back. No, I can hear you, you don't need to be so close I can feel your breath & spit on my face. No, I don't want to see anything "weird" hahaha Omg! I could go on FOREVER! But it gives me…

Wow! Wow wow woooow! Fantastic girl!! With adding resistance training, u might gain at first but building that muscle will burn that fat! KEEP GOING! Great job sister!!!!

429 days here. 1008 days?! INCREDIBLE!!!

You are most welcome! I get into a rut too. Always seems like its a baked or grilled meat (chicken, steak etc) a baked russet or sweet potato and then some kind of green veggie (sautéed brussell sprouts, grilled zucchini etc). Its just nice having good/different meals without having to put so much thought/energy into them.…

Awesome! I will for sure be checking this out too -- thanks a bunch! :flowerforyou: I figure if you can save, why not? Besides, having new ideas is better than trying to reinvent the wheel every week :)

Well that's just ridiculously impressive!! :love: Kudos to you sister! I bet its delicious too!

Being a newbie with this site? This is good to know!!

Aw awesome! So glad you guys like the site! I've been up FOREVER this morning with our daughter (its pretty much normal) but when I came across this I thought AWESOME!! Now ppl can see that good food can be AFFORDABLE and it doesn't have to simply be tuna, eggs or ramen hahaha I know I was excited because gosh, it'll help…

I often times do free workout videos on youtube. Most of them are aerobics like taebo, zumba, jillian michaels But with some weights (you can find those for cheap if you look around) and there are a lot of resistant/lifting stuff on there too.

But why this ... and ONLY this to shed 40lbs?? Because its easy? Because it only has like 4 ingredients? Just seems silly to drink your food all day every day when you can do the same with a variety of stuff?? I'm confused. I mean, one day you will want REAL food and when you do, then what? You blow up like a balloon :(

Oh man! We do a lot fried foods don't we?! haha But its sooooooo good! I stay away but sometimes ... YOU CAN'T ... and SHOULDN'T! HA! I know when and if I get to go, at the state fair, they do fried beer :drinker: , fried oreos, fried bread like a funnel cake. And how they fry the beer or coke? They freeze it first and…

Incredible job sista!! Simply amazing! I love the confidence and smile -- beauty radiates inside and out! Such a big change for sure! Oh, and in the before/after pics in the dress, how did the tats change?? Great ink btw :)

Idk? I suppose possibly? Everyone's body is different but that's where the majority of my carbs come from. Typically in a day I'll have at least one apple, one banana, 2 clementines and either dried fruit or berries. But I feel like that's healthy and normal. You could always reduce and see how you respond? :) Good luck!!

What do you cook for your girls/family? Things like tuna (cheap) and can easily be made into tuna patties or casseroles for a more nutritional food. Or eggs, pastas etc are all cheap, filling and great nutrients. Variety often makes you successful while nourished. A low cal diet of whatever sort will cause wt loss, but u…

Ha! I frickin' love Office Space!!! BEST.MOVIE.EVER!!! But yea, I have a love/hate relationship with techie stuff. I love it when it works and is easy, but the second it messes up? I'm soooo lost! I say its good to be pleased with the little things. Great job on the changes in your life-style :flowerforyou:

I think its PHENOMENAL that you were so successful and that now you WANT to help others. Fantastic! You looks young, vibrant and HAPPY! And check out that profile picture? Lookin' all confident and GQ -- awesome! :)
