Can we all remember, she was TWENTY-FIVE here....She is now THIRTY-SIX!! Give the woman a break. Actresses get older too... PLUS she has given birth...Her muscle mass is NOT going to be what is was then.

I love Angelina. Do I think she looked a little thin? Yes. However, we are used to seeing a MUCH MORE MUSCULAR Angelina. She isnt doing the crazy action movies anymore. She isn't working out for HOURS a day. So yes, her muscle tone is gone. She has a GAGGLE of children now. I agree with the person who said, if she was a…

You fat looks good. You might be a little high in the carbs, but as a vegetarian, I am not surprised so I wouldnt be too worried. Drinking water will be very important for you, as your body will not be as likely to retain the water. I would also eat back your workout calories, as you are probably NETTING under the 1200,…

More info please and maybe we can get to the bottom of this: 1.) Do you eat back your workout calories? 2.) How much water do you drink? 3.) Are you using the designated Macros (how much Protein/Fat/Carbs) MFP gets up for your or do you customize? 4.) Are you near or on TOM?

First thing - DONT EAT AT APPLEBEES! Nothing there is good for your health. In addition, their sodium in everything is higher than most other restaurant chains out there. In general, go to smaller places that are more "Mom and Pop." Typically (not always), their food is so much more fresh. However, if you must eat at…

Yum....

My better half wears Hanes, except the boxer briefs and I know those aren't cut very high. I dont know how much your husband is stuck on the 'type' he wears.

Depends on who it is. If I have built a relationship with the person, "pet names" dont bother me too much. If I dont know you, or I feel like you are using the terms as more of a come on versus a compliment, there is a chance they'll be getting a PM not to do it again. Pet names are for people who EARN them (and visa…

This. I don't run frequently because I have problems with my left knee from an accident. However, I can use an elliptical all day without major pain in my knee.

Looking Good!!

Carbs almost give the body a fake sense of "fullness". This is not the medical terminology by any means. Its the sugar in many carbs that make you feel a certain way. Protein and Fiber are what make you feel full longer and over are more substantial. Honestly, I think MFP is WAY too low on the amount of protein AND fiber…

Holy Cow! What AN AMAZING story and such a POSITIVE outcome!! YOU are the type of person I look up too. You dont take "NO" as an answer for yourself. -=Claps=-

Just about any side can somehow be invented to be more low cal - Either it be the portion side or the type of food. Steamed veggies in general are definitely my favorite. However, some Pearl Cous Cous (or regular even) cooked in a light sodium chicken stock is always yummy on the side for a carb. I also LOVE baked potatoes…

Raised Baptist (but I am not overly religious). I didnt hear of "lent" till I hung out with my Catholic friends growing up. I LOVE all the seafood deals that come around during lent though! Yum Yum Yum!

Staples for my boyfriend and I when we go grocery shopping: Protein (Ground Turkey, Chicken, and Seafood) Vegetables (Bell Pepper. Spinach, Carrots, and Celery) Fruit (Bananas, Apples, and Mangos) Drinks (100% Fruit Juice, Almond Milk, Coconut Milk, Soy Milk, and carbonated water) Dairy (Low Fat Cheese Sticks and Yogurt)…

Just took a peek at your diary. Seems like you are eating the appropriate NET calories, so I dont see a problem. You are eating pretty low in fat, which could be the reason? I recently started paying closer attention to my FAT content and noticed I would lose weight quicker due to that. I wouldnt worry too much as long as…

You Rock

ME TOO!! She is my favorite. She is slim, but has great muscles.

My boyfriend is incredibly supportive. He also knows I need to be PUSHED sometimes when I am lacking. If he knows I need to workout, he will ride me on it. Some relationships probably couldnt handle this, but I know he is pushing me to better MYSELF for ME. He has lost 15 pounds this year and started gaining some great…

I have a disease that involves massive hormone treatments. With my treatments, I have been steadily gaining weight since 2007-08, these past two years the most, it would seem. I need to lose a total of 51 pounds of the weight gained. I have pulled myself off of most of my meds because I am going with a different approach,…

Looks good! I'll be making this in the near future!

All of this... Fat needs to go first! Otherwise, your ab workouts are useless in respect to visible results.

-=Shrugs=- To each their own, I guess.

Eyebrow raise?! I have had three Polars (upgrade as I find new wants and needs) and I've replaced my battery on my own no problem....

Seafood - Of any sort. All of it....At every meal....

I should really get back to these - as I didn't lose weight - but there was DEFINITE definition.... My shins ALSO hurt like hell. Its the damn jump roping. I switched to just doing jumping jacks anytime I was supposed to do jump roping and my shins stopped hurting. Thought I just was jumping funny - but it would seem that…

Great news!! On a side note - I told Nino to join MFP. This is how that convo went Sunday: Summer "You should join MFP - You could track your progress and major sure you are eating the right stuff (ect)." Three second pass. Summer "Nevermind, you aren't allowed to join." Nino "Why, do you talk badly about me?" Summer "Not…

GREAT job girl! Cant wait to have a success story like yours!!

Its THAT easy?
