i also was going to say that if i eat a little dark chocolate i can satisfy myself verses anything else. I get dark hershey kisses and eat 4. Not bad calorie wise.

I watch Doctor Oz a lot. He had a show one time that showed different people eating same foods for a week. IT was a test. Some craved more of the fatty foods and protiens...some watned the carbs and sugars. He showed that everyone has different tastebuds. I guess there is a hormone in our body that goes crazy according to…

great accomplishment! Keep it up! It will only get better from here on out!

i have to say after all this argument about the margarine being 1 molecule away from plastic...i heard the same thing. I heard it from somebody who like real butter!!!!!!!!! lol! My granny who passed away. She fried her eggs in bacon too!!!!!! Even after hearing her say that...i stil am stubborn and buy margarine. I grew…

oustanding! You look fabulous! What a waistline you have...something i am looking forward to having again!!!! I keep old pants by my bed that are waiting for me. I try them on like once a month. You worked very hard for what you achieved, and i am hoping i can do the same. Thank you for your story!

i do weight watcher pts....so i am always over my calories. They are more about how many grams of fiber, protien, fat, and carbs you eat. THe new program anyways. You don't count most fresh fruit and veggies at all. There are a few, like corn, avocado, and potato...etc... I still put in my calories on quick track. I do…

any weight loss is good. Slow weight loss means that you are making life long changes...not just a quick fix. Your face looks smaller...and your cheast looks smaller and lifted. If you would have had same dress on...then we could see total transformation. Doesn't matter though...if you are able to wear new clothes, and the…

i don't pay attention to it...i am on weight watchers pts...so dont' count calories..rather how many carbs,fats, protien, and fiber. ON w.w. fruits and veggies are free. Fresh that is. Except for corn, potatoes, and avocado, and peas. I fill up on those...so if i had to pay attention to sugars in fresh fruit...i would go…

good for you! We all need to take time out for ourselves. I am a better mom to my kids when i get some me time!!! I try to do my workouts before they wake up! ;)

shoulders and smile

only 800-900 calories??? I would starve!!! When i weighed 140 i was eating 1300 a day. Why don't you try like 1200 caloreis and see what happens. Just for one week. Is 800-900 calories a drastic change from what you were doing in the past?? Are you just starting out??

i allow myself a cheat day...but for only 1 meal. I try not to go over board. You are right that if you cheat too much...it is like you crave more, and you just get lost in the cycle. For instance...i will cheat with take out pizza...but i get mushrooms on it...and put my own turkey pepperoni on it. I splurge on the crust,…

somebody posted something saying that unless you are on steroids you will not look like a man...i agree! IT takes a lot of litfting for a women to look that bulky. Men naturally have more muscle, so it doesn't take them that long to develope more and to get bigger. Just do what you feel is right. Muscle def. looks better…

Don't you think that some women are afraid of looking bigger or like a man?? Also they feel maybe that they will build muscles under fat and look really gross?? I think that is why we shy from it...but you just proved us all wrong!!!!!!!!!! I have a bowflex at home. My husband uses it...but i just do up to 10 lbs. with…

total inspiration to me! I always hear that weights are better and i know that when i do weights verses cardio...my heart pumps wayyy more. I have a video by Jillian micheals where you do weights and lunges together. You double your fat burn then cardio alone. My heart pumps way faster in those 6min. segments, then a 30…

JIllian Michaels will tear you up! She is awsome if you want to get toned!

I had to quit the gym too! I totally understand. The gym is such a time to release everything...away from home. I can tell you this though...i am still doing my thing. I have a exercise ball, i have weights, i have a trampoline, videos....and i try to find things on the inernet too. Just try to switch up your routine…

I agree with JJordon...do lots of lunges and squats...that burns more fat. The more muscle you use the better. Try JIllian MIcheals video that has exercises where you use a 3lb. weight with lunges and squats at same time. I do 1 6min. segment and add it to cardio. IN 6 min. ou will sweat...i kid you not! NO more trouble…

i hold on to treadmill for balance. You still get a good workout as long as you are not holding on tight. I notice on the treadmill climber comercials...they are all holding on..so there. The weirdest thing i ever saw at the gym was a 50-55 yr. old lady with booty shorts and knee high play boy bunny socks. She was top…
