putting on muscle actually burns more fat, and helps you steer clear of the "skinny-fat" look, meaning it makes your body tighter. just cardio does* work your body's muscles, but it doesn't really build them. as for "looking great".. you look great now, but in order to get your body in tip-top condition, you really should…

if there's one thing i've learned on this journey, it's "don't set unrealistic goals".. it leads to disappointment. instead, focus on being as HEALTHY as you can be for the next 55 days.. that means consistent exercise & healthy eating. with that, the pounds will melt off. if you push yourself too hard, and eat too little,…

SUPER BUMP! delicious

I don't see the point of tracking regular daily activities as exercise. If you go out at lunch and walk, intentionally for exercise*.. then track it. If you're walking from the train station to work every day.. don't. My motto!

No kids over here, but in the same boat. I'll be 25 this year.. I've lost almost 50lbs so far, went from a large C cup to a small B cup, and hate how my boobs look. push-up bras work.. but I hate how I they look naked. :( chest workouts don't really work either, because it's just loose skin. I'm thinking of getting a…

the chocolate melts PERFECTLY! i'm going to try it next time with only two kisses (less calories!).. dark chocolate is so rich, i think it would still be awesome with less.

I love spicy food, so..i love grilled chicken with just some salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. i also use Goya Adobo.. it's pretty salty, so you don't need any extra salt. I've marinated chicken in honey & spicy brown mustard, Franks Red Hot sauce, or Kraft italian vinaigrette dressing before, too. all yummy.

IT IS NEVER TOO EARLY FOR TALK OF THANKSGIVING! YUM! LOL! my favorite holiday. sorry, i got so excited.

genius ice-cream sandwich alternative! :)

thick, creamy, tangy.. i always had some kind of sweetener to it to take the bite off the tang. i also like adding a tbsp of peanut butter to it, it's like dessert! otherwise, i have it in smoothies or topped with fruit and nuts or granola.

I'm thinking it was a little bit of everything mentioned.. thanks so much everyone for the feedback! I love the flavors, so I think I'm gonna try cooking my own versions of Indian food and see if that helps. :)

i used Lean 25 from GNC, vanilla flavor.. smoothie ideas: any/all frozen fruit, greek yogurt, almond milk, sweetener. you can also add baby spinach for added nutrients - it doesn't add any taste, really.. it just turns the smoothie a funny color.

i have about the same left to lose.. i didn't feel accomplished with just the 30DS, so i just supplemented my regular cardio routine with it.

almonds, cheese, fruit-cups.. those baked chick-peas sound AMAZING.

there is such a thing as 'too much' protein if you aren't balancing it out correctly. side-effects = extreme constipation/dehydration. for example, if you're drinking 1-2 protein shakes a day, you need to counteract all that protein with enough fiber to keep you 'regular'.

i wear make-up.. because it's fun, to me. i used to do make-up.. it was another way to be creative, for me. i wouldn't say i wear it "for" anybody.. i just like putting it on, trying to things, etc. i do wear it to work, i don't wear it when working out (bad for your skin!).. i wear it a LOT less than i used to nowadays. i…

the inside of my arm hurt like HELL. all my others were tolerable. (thigh, shoulder, back of the neck, wrists)

i'm in northern NJ.. we're still waiting on her! the rain has started, but that's about it.

start off with cutting some juice with water, or adding fresh fruit like lemons and oranges to water. i get a lot of water in by drinking multiple cups of tea throughout the day.. all flavors! a little sweetener makes tea so yummy.

i always reccomend www.skinnytaste.com. they have an amazing pumpkin dip that i recently made.. it was the most popular dip at the party! i also froze a portion of it, and had it as a 'frozen pumpkin yogurt'.

you can make dips, salad dressings, smoothies, baked goods.. MANY posibilities. check out www.skinnytaste.com, or just get creative. :)

bumpity-bump.

i don't do it.. i try to incorporate treats into my every day calaoric allotment so that i don't binge on a 'cheat day'. i keep a bag of dark chocolate hershey kisses at my desk, as well as planter's Flavor Grove almonds - caramel vanilla flavored. if i want something salty, i'll have some special k cracker-chips or a…

work out on the beach.. it'll make any "regular" workout SO much more intense. when dining out, look for the healthiest options, like grilled food and lots of veggies, but always make sure the food isn't cooked in a butt-load of butter (a lot of restaurants do that.).. drink lots of water, try to stick to wine or vodka &…

i LOOOOVE my tea, too! <3

check out www.skinnytaste.com, too. sautee the chicken with veggies, make a green salad or a light chicken salad, chicken fajitas/tacos/etc.. endless posibilities!

i don't think there's a plural to "impatience".. but anyway.. make sure you're logging calories accurately. measure everything until you can eye-ball it. are you having too many "cheat" days? are you not challenging yourself during workouts? there's a lot that could be going into a steady-scale. get a heart rate monitor to…

peanut butter, lean protein, beans, and protein shakes.. make them your best-friend in order to bulk up the healthy way. don't binge-eat on unhealthy foods!
