Sure =)

I found this 30 day fitness app, decided on four challenges. - crunch challenge - jumping jack challenge - push up challenge - squat challenge Wake up at 5am and do the challenges to get myself going. Starts the day off pretty well! For the evening after work, I do either 30 minutes of cardio or strength. I'm finding that…

It's great! I've also completely cut caffeine during this time too! I was drinking about 8-10 cups per day, I was always so tired with my daily grind! The arms are my biggest challenge, they were the one thing I thought I'd be plagued with forever. I am hopeful now though!

If you fail, try again. Never give up on yourself. Never feel shame.

spinach, feta, red onion, craisins, hemp hearts, and home made balsamic. romaine, juliened carrots, raisins, hemp hearts, and home made balsamic.

I get it trust me. Only for me I am gaining! For the past two weeks I have been trying to tone up, started strength training twice a day, have lost inches and even dropped a pant size. HOWEVER I have gained 4lbs!!! It's a complete downer, and I can't get over it. lol.

Here is some photo motivation. Still seem so far from my goal, now it's all about toning and getting these arms under control, lol. But yeah, go ahead and add me as a friend. :)

Hmm, this could be interesting for me. :)

Umm why do people think its okay to leave the house looking like that?!?

My go to sweet thing is honey popcorn. 1/8cup popcorn kernels 1tbsp honey 1tsp butter Throw it in a pot on high heat and when the kernels pop they get covered in the honey mixture. I let it cool in the bowl before eating and its delicious. Crunchy and sweet. Sometimes i add a pinch of salt for a sweet and salty taste.

Phew, finally finished reading everything. Alright so from everything I read, basically I need to start lifting more. This seems really intimidating to me because I honestly don't know where to start when I'm on my own. So I am going to need to find some help, if not a trainer than perhaps I can stalk someone at the gym to…

A Big thanks to everyone who has posted. I will be checking out some of these things for sure, though I cannot really afford it do you think it would be worth a personal trainer? I think you can pay for them for just one session and then continue the workout on your own from there? OR are there at home programs which would…

You lost me at 'progressive lifting program. I am really not even sure what that means! lol.

8 ?

Fun to party with.

:drinker: One Night Stand... Ohhh Yeah. :smokin:

Hug. :flowerforyou:

Your hips will be the fullest part of your body just before it narrows to your legs, or at least 7 inches below your natural waistline.

Ohh Lord Here Goes 5'6" 191 pounds. 36 - 35 - 46 Thanks to my weight loss and being pregnant my breasts are now essentially nipples on chest. LOL. My goal is to tone tone tone! Pregnancy and weight loss have not been good to my stomach. I would be happy where I am today if I had a more pulled together feeling in the…

Woohoo, took a while but figured out how to post all pictures. lol.

Alright... Think I got this now... Height is 5'6" Highest Weight Was 297 First Picture was at 280lbs Second Picture was at 230lbs Third and Fourth Picture is now at 191lbs 41 more pounds until goal!!

Update. lol.

It especially bothers me with fruit...I see people having fruit smoothies with every meal and then complaining that they can't lose any weight...well DUH. If you're consuming an entire day's worth (and then some) of fruit 3x a day you're not going to lose anything. What is fruit full of? Sugar. What does sugar do? Turn…

That's the thing, the body cannot distinguish between the two. Sugars occur naturally--they're made by plants through the process of photosynthesis--but they can also be made "artificially" by chemically modifying starches. Regardless of whether a sugar comes from nature or from the lab, your body processes it absolutely…

My son is two and a half years old, I have always been very strict on what I gave him. I was an extremely overweight kid, my parent's did not care what they fed us. My sisters and I suffered from this. When my son was born I made it my mission to keep him from sugar as long as possible. I made all of his baby food, he did…

Those legs!!!

Am big on blended drinks, i drink one every morning. The only thing is you REALLY have to pay attention because they add up fast in calories and sugar. Here is my fave blended drink which is roughly 340 calories. 1 cup raw Kale 1 cup raw Spinach Half an apple seeded with peel left on 8 blackberries 8 raspberries 1.5 cups…
