Thank you :-)

I was going to post a pic showing me at different weight and bf %'s but I don't know how to add a pic here. Can someone help?

You are so right ACG67 Posts like this are very disturbing because they give people misinformation.

Treadmill - It's much more versitile You can walk, jog, run, steep incline, sprints, etc. Elliptical is boring for me.

LOL...you poor thing!

When I answer the phone I always say "this is Bernadette" to which most people reply "Hi Brenda" I don't get it! Also, I go by Berni and when my husband and I are together and I introcude us as Brock and Berni, people always think I'm Brock and he's is Berni...lol

Some days less, some days more! :-)

I have never physically attempted to weigh them but I did get the formula to the weight of implants based on the number of cc's so I do have a good idea of what they actually weight...lol

Muscle does not turn to fat. That's like saying bones turn to blood. Not gonna happen. Muscle cells are completely different from fat cells, and they do not have the physical capability to interchange into one another. If you stop lifting you will sustain muscle loss over time but the only way you will gain fat is if you…

I gained 60 with my daughter and 55 with my son. Daughter: starting weight was 140, weight on the day I delivered 200. She was only 6lbs 3oz Son: starting weight 145, weight on the day I delivered 200. He was only 7lbs 3oz I WAS FAT!!! Ate everything in site and didn't worry about it one bit. Within 8-10 weeks I was back…

the secret is no secret at all, it's simple math. Take in less calories than you burn = weight loss

Well this is going to be a big group based on the number of responses... ...bring it on! ;-)

So I try to quote but it wouldn't...what am I doing wrong??? :-/

Cant say for sure...need to see face :-)

BMI cannot differenciate between LBM and BF so if you ask me, it's a worthless #. I'm 5'1", 126lbs, BF is 18% and I wear a size 0-3 depending on the clothes. I have no clue what my BMI is. It's an age old method for doctors to guess if you are in a healthy weight range. When Arnold Schwarzenegger was in his prime…

If you can afford it, I'd recommend purchasing a bodybugg (www.bodybugg.com) so you can monitor how many calories you burn each day. Once you know this, you can work your diet around that number so you are in a decent deficit but not starving your body. I know life is crazy with 3 jobs but you have to make time to plan out…

Hi Carolina, Best of luck to you in your journey to lose weight and get in shape. The most sound advise I can give you is research, research, research. You will have everyone on God's green earth telling you how it's done which can be great but research what advise you are given and educate yourself as much as possible.…

You can't count anything as water if it's not water. Yes teas and coffee are liquids but it's not water and will not hydrate the way water does! I drink my weight in ounces daily if I can which is roughly a gallon of water a day and I have 2 cups of coffee and 1 tea as well. I don't even count the water mixed in my protein…

Yay....I'm proud of you

Aaah, your glass is half empty isn't it! Good luck with your results! :-)

Thank you so much guys! I need all the help I can get and truly appreciate every vote! :-)

Also, do not grocery shop without a list or when you are hungry....that's when unwanted items end up in the cart

I'm so glad you all find this helpful and yes, clean eating makes a world of difference and it dosnt have to eat you out of house and home either!

missing breakfast is bad, workout out and not eating is worse. your body will end up fighting back eventually. 11 am is too late for your first meal of the day. Breakfast can be anything as light as a granola bar, protein shake, banana, etc. You really should feed your body if you are asking it to exert energy for exercise.

nut butter, mac nut oil, fish oil, olive oil

You look fabulous and I think the 80's DO is "rad"
