I absolutely love when I see people who are older and/or on the heavier side. To know that they are taking steps to keeping/getting themselves healthy is a wonderful thing. Knowing how important it is to me and how it has immensely increased my happiness and confidence and that it will do the same for them it just gives me…

It is a wonderful feeling isn't it? Just having a better life overall is amazing. Congrats on making the decision to improve your life :)

I love my confidence and love of my new body. Parts of my body that I hated before I love and I am just so much happier than I ever was before. The only sucky thing about weight loss is that you can't target fat loss is certain areas so my thighs are not keeping up with the rest of my leg and are big in comparison. But oh…

I have a little list of things... Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust Pizza Grilled Cheese Cool Ranch Doritos Most types of seafood: crab, lobster, shrimp, fried shrimp Mmmm I can't wait for my Shrimp Teriyaki tonight :)

First letter of my first name, my middle name, first letter of my last name and my DOB. Clever, yes I know ;)

When I was in high school I used it and lost 20lbs and obviously since I am here it all came back and then some. It promotes still eating what you want which I don't agree with. It should promote eating healthier. If you are interested in trying out their system save yourself the money and google their point system. I…

Too skinny to me means when your bones are visible everywhere! It's all about how comfortable you are with your body and just living a healthy lifestyle with good food and exercise. Some people are naturally skinny and eat properly and exercise so just because they are skinny doesn't mean they are unhealthy. As long as you…

I don't feel that I can really comment on this topic because I never had to ponder that question but I just want to say how absolutely inspiring it is hearing your stories of losing so much weight on your own. It's truly such a huge and amazing accomplishment!!! This is such a tough journey to be on and it is forever so I…

Make sure you eat enough each day, your body needs the nutrition and energy to burn in your workouts. The only way you will gain weight is if you go over your daily calorie intake. Your body needs food and they say you lose weight by eating so make sure you feed your body.

2 sizes smaller is awesome! Go treat yourself to some sexy undies ;)

I saw another picture of her this morning and it is just so gross! At first she tried to say that she eats all of the time but then admitted that she can't eat because her stomach is so small. How can she be a model? Does this really look good, or healthy, to anyone???? I would rather be at my highest weight than look like…

That is a realllllllllly hard question because there are so many things that I love. Pretty much anything chocolate I would eat until I couldn't eat it anymore.

Try taking some type of class. I absolutely love doing boxing, it's a great cardio workout plus builds the muscle in your arms and legs. You could try a spin class, that will get your heart rate up way higher. A boot camp class is fun too, it's constant and will give you a great burn. That is where I am now, trying some…

Like others have mentioned, go for getting a HRM. It may seem expensive but it is totally worth it! I have a Polar FT4 and I love it. It will give you accurate calories based on your age, height, weight, etc... That is the best way to get the most accurate count of what you are actually burning. If you don't want to spend…

BUMP - one of my guilty pleasures, I actually had some delicously bad for me sticks on Saturday so this is awesome to know!

It's totally up to you but I think as far as making sure you give your body enough of what it needs you should try and eat some back. I would make it so that you are at least back to your 1500 calorie goal. I don't know about you but the more I exercise the more I want to eat! ;)

I belong to PF. It's a gym for the masses. $10 a month to go to just one location or $20 a month to go to any location and unlimited tanning and massage chair use. At the one I normally go to I realized that they don't even have a scale! I prefer smaller gyms but this is good if you are on a budget, they have a pretty…

The scale can be really evil for motivation and confidence. Use the scale as a guide, maybe you want to track your body fat percentage more than your weight. I'm getting close to my goal weight and the last measurement I did I found that I didn't lose much fat at all but my body fat percentage had gone down a few percent.…

She is the most gorgeous woman!

1) Waking up with both of my dogs cuddling with me in bed. 2) Giving myself plenty of time in the morning and actually making it to work a few minutes early (I'm usually RIGHT on time). 3. Having sore legs which meant that the kick butt workout my trainer gave me did some good for my leg muscles :)

ANYTHING CHOCOLATE! LOL

Like most others will tell you, go for a Polar. I have an FT4 and spent about $70 on it and it was so worth it! That is the most accurate way to track how many calories you burn.

I have Optimum Nutrition, Extreme Milk Chocolate. Go to Amazon and get a 2lb container for $20. I love it, tastes great.

If you feel the urge to snack, grab some popcorn - I buy the 100 calorie bags and that's enough for me. Or grab some fruit. You can still have a little snack, just make sure it's not high in calories and try grabbing something healthy.

I found that it took me a while to really love exercising. I go 5 days a week if I can fit it in and I love it. It's hard work but it's so rewarding and makes you feel better. If you aren't a fan of exercising look into taking some classes. Working with my trainer I have a love for boxing. It's an incredible workout and…

I'm a Bel Air resident here. My sister did this last year and had fun so I think that I may join this year.

My boobs haven't changed that much but that doesn't mean that yours won't! It all depends on the person. My cup size hasn't changed just the size around.
