Glute stretches (before and after) and slow strengthening of your inner leg muscles ie 1/4 single leg squats. I'm still getting better.

Thanks guys. Your pics are inspiring- looking to get that sparkle in my eyes, like you all have.

yes.

in my early 40s, and probably have 25 more to go. Not perfect, I love food but I am trying to make this a lifestyle change 80/20, so I never have to do this again! Add me if you'd like.

Awesome!! You like you've had a fantastic time, and enjoying a fabulous life

I'm 5"6 and hour glass shaped. I'm aiming for 130 , which was where I was before I had my children. My husband thinks that I was too skinny at 135, so beware your own perception. Looking at some of the success shots, I'd be happy with 140-145 with muscles, so my real measure is how my tummy and my arms look.

thank you

WW life member but haven't gone back as I didn't want to pay. I buy the magazine for inspiration and recipes, but I've found that some of the sample daily menus (posted in the inspirational stories) look dreadful on a nutritional basis- room for treats but very little protein?

awesome!!!

Did the doctors check Vitamin D and B12? I have low levels of both.

Exercise, unlike emotional eating, makes you feel better.

It may simply be that he's given you enough praise, in his mind, but not in yours. It just sounds like you need date night to reconnect and for sex to be initiated by you. I kind of disagree about the lingerie, as my DH has pissed himself laughing at some of the gear I've worn (it is so not romantic to be called a red…

As someone who struggles making this a lifestyle as well- I think you have to go to the why you are here question, and work from who you are, rather than make a radical change. so for me: - Why do i do this? to be a good example for my children, to wear pretty clothes, to not get puffed out doing simple things, to not put…

5"5. Started as 38E (16E), now 36D (14D). Aiming for 34C (based on my history, will need to lose another 9kg or 20lb to 62kg or 136lb). If I lose across my rib measurement, I have to up a cup size.

Haven't read the responses but she's a bridezilla and all she needs to do is pick a colour that suits you, choose the material and run around with a swatch.

I forgot to add- I increased my exercise, which probably reduced IBS from stress

IBS affects what I can eat, but beyond that has not affected my loss. Foods that I avoid are: cabbage, asparagus, cauliflower, bread. Since I cut down on these, my IBS has gone down in frequency- I still get IBS with PMS. I have started reading about the fodmaps diet.

thanks guys for the inspiration- you look great!

I dropped 2 cup sizes.

I had this problem and saw a naturopath. Basically, I had been running off adrenalin too long and it was going to crash sooner or later. Here's some info on it: http://www.drnorthrup.com/womenshealth/healthcenter/topic_details.php?topic_id=94

You look great and its great to hear that you've bloomed on the inside as well.

pregnancy X 2 boredom snacking lack of exercise not putting aside time for me.

Here's the article on SMH websites reporting instragram pulled their pages. http://www.smh.com.au/national/health/diet-teas-page-shut-after-health-horrors-reported-20130629-2p3v9.html

Get rid of them. You will look so much better in something that fits you better. It will motivate you further to keep the weight off and lose more.

my basic vegie soup is: 1 can of canned tomatoes (about 400-420g) 2 carrots 1 medium size onion 1/2 red pepper (no seeds) 1 potato (keep skin) 1/2 pumpkin (i like butternut) 250 ml of stock (optional) then add chopped vegies in season- so for us, I recently added - 1 zucchini - handful mushrooms add- some more water to…

After 13 years, 2 small kids, depends on how tired we are. So we can do nothing for a month other than sleep, or have sex about 3-4 times a week. daily in the first year lol

Yes- from Melb. feel free to add me

thank you for sharing your story- you are awesome taking back your power to be you.

smoking, not eating breakfast like ^^^, overconsumption of bread and white rice.

You are on your way by starting. Feel free to add me- still finding my mojo to make this a lifestyle change, rather than a diet.
