LOL. I LOVE the badger idea. Hilarious. ...Personally, I'm looking to shed Harry Styles.

I second the Greek yogurt with ranch seasonings, although my absolute favorite "dressing" for a salad right now is just plain ol' avocado, mashed up with a tiny bit of garlic salt. I put it over any type of green and mix it all up to coat evenly so it doesn't seem clumpy. Good stuff!

Wooo! Congrats!!

Amazing achievement!! You look fabulous!

Congrats to everyone on their awesome small wins! I had another weird one today... At work we use those ridiculously ugly rubber thimble-looking things on our fingers when we sort through large piles of paperwork, and while I've always needed the "GRANDE" size (no joke... it really says that on the box), today mine kept…

I've seen someone do bicycle crunches while holding weights in each hand. It looked strange to me at the time... But I suppose as long as you're careful and aren't straining yourself or trying to lift more than you can handle, you can probably incorporate weights into nearly any exercise and it'll force your muscles to…

Your eyes look so much bigger and brighter! :smile:

Congratulations! You look wonderful!! Keep it up! :drinker:

This! While it's certainly possible that you're building muscle bit by bit (and therefore technically not losing weight, though strengthening yourself), chances are that it's just your body adapting to a new regimen... We put it through a certain kind of shock whenever we undertake a new physical challenge or sudden change…

Great job! You look amazing!!

Congrats!! Clearly the program is doing wonderful things for you! It's just so hard sometimes to see the changes in ourselves when they happen... That's why it's important to measure or take pictures and, as always, JUST KEEP MOVING! :smile: Can't wait to start 30DS on Monday and see what differences it'll make for yours…

My best friend makes these at nearly every party because they are DELICIOUS! She cleans and then shreds the kale, putting it out evenly on a foil-wrapped cookie sheet. She then drizzles olive oil and adds salt and pepper and throws it in the oven at 350 for like 20 minutes. I do the same thing, but I use garlic salt and I…

WOW. I'm totally inspired... You look amazing!! (And a very SMALL size 12, I might add.)

Congratulations!! You look great! :smile:

I actually had three small victories today that made me happy! 1. The pea coat I have had for a few years now (and which started out rather snug on me) is now so loose that it's time to get a smaller one. :) 2. When I first bought the belt that I'm currently wearing, I was on the 8th notch in. I only noticed like 20…

You look incredible! Congratulations and good luck on this journey you've undertaken... You've come such a long way already. :)

^Oh my gosh, THIS! I've been overweight to varying degrees my whole life, so I've never really had visible collar bones or a long neck before. I'm about 45 lbs into my weight loss now and SURPRISE! there were bones underneath after all. :) I didn't even realize how important it was to me to have such things, but I…

I see it! :) Keep up the hard work-- it's obviously paying off!

Cheese raviolis in pesto. :( BUMMED.

You give me hope! I'm starting 30DS next week and I'm both really excited and totally terrified... I watched Level 1 yesterday to familiarize myself with what to expect, and although it LOOKS doable, I know it'll leave me a complete mess. I even tried some of the butt kicks and jump rope moves this morning to see how it…

You look wonderful! Congratulations!!

Holy crap, you look awesome!! :love:

That has to be one of the BEST feelings! :) Personally, I'd take a dress size down over a few lbs lost any day.

Okay, this may sound dorky, but it was suggested to me recently, so I'm paying it forward-- log how you feel about working out in the morning (i.e., thoughts, impressions, rewards, etc.). It doesn't have to be as involved as journaling or anything like that-- Even if you just leave a brief status message here on MFP, you…

A girlfriend of mine just invited me to do this with her this year... And I think I will! It sounds like a blast, although I'm not sure where I'll find something comfortable to walk or jog in that's white, haha.

That is so wonderful!! Congratulations! I love the idea of returning to the same place for your reshoot... And it completely pays off visually. It's a testament to all of your hard work and to the start of a whole new you.

You look AMAZING!! Completely inspiring... I started my weight loss journey at 275, so I can relate quite a bit to those 'Before' photos (although you're a good 6" taller than me). You give me hope! :happy:

That's wonderful!! Great job! I don't have kids, but I know what having even ONE does to your energy levels throughout the course of the day. I think it's awesome that you make a point to take the time for your health and fitness. :) Keep it up!

I'm starting 30DS in a week and a half! I'm so excited to get going on it, but I have a 5K coming up, and I don't want to be miserably sore through it... :/ Anyway, although she usually annoys the crap out of me, I hear that Jillian gives an amazing kickstart to any weight loss journey. Good for you for deciding to make a…

I generally wish only good things for people who have come and go from my life for various reasons. BUT, that being said, I have an ex who was obsessed with fitness when we dated and had already lost A LOT of weight by the time we got together… I thought that was awesome and encouraged him with his transformation because…
