Well, to be fair, I have not had the blessing of having children yet - but hope to soon (which is part of the reason why I was motivated to get fit in the first place) I can imagine after having kids the mission must be more difficult, so I think you've definitely made a greater achievement than I have done...and most…

Thank you! ...and your dress in your profile pic looks great too! ;-)

People will say you "look fine", but do we really just want to "look fine" and pass up the looking the best we can? I look fine at 150, I am actually lucky (or maybe not so) that my family genes "holds weight well" but it wasn't the BEST me. The last 15 is tough! I went from a good loss to about one pound per week, but…

Thank you!....And you WILL reach your goal!

Thank you everyone for all your support! It wasn't easy - I think the absoloute #1 thing is to stay DEDICATED, MOTIVATED and CONSISTENT - anything is possible for you in time with this! But I think that Big 10 pound difference has a lot to do with adding lean body mass while losing fat. My three main activities: 1. Good…

Thanks sister! I got it, lol. Also, man the difference is totally visible! Sistahs are doing it for themselves! lol.

I've experienced this as well! I think it is a reaction of self-reflection of what they would like to be doing themselves and have not yet started or are not doing, and as a result, the negativity portion comes from some guilt/jealousy, but also their perception that you are "judging" them for not exercising like you or…

Hi! I've been using my Polar FT7 for about a week and absoloutely love it! It is worth the $20 difference compared to the Polar FT4. I've tried it with circuit training (Jillian shred/ripped & firm express) as well as cardio, running, elliptical etc and I would say its fairly accurrate. With the circuit training it has…

I love P90X as well! My husband and I did it together last year and I ended up with good results while he ended up with AWESOME results. He not only lost 40lbs but got some really defined abs. You have to be committed though - the workouts are a little more than an hour to an hour and half long so you have to clear some…

I have tried both ways and I believe macronutrients do matter. Every individual's body is different, but I had slow progress with calories in/out. I don't do low carb - it is much more like high-protein and/or must be equal to or more than my carbs at the end of the day as well as my carbs have to be predominently complex.…

Holy Smokrels! You go sweetie! You are a wonderful inspiration.

Ibetancourt - with you and Kimberlygo I think I'm convinced to change my goal! I'm really looking to lose BF% rather than weight, so I think 125 will be my stopping point, everyone's make-up is different, but if you are exploring to go lower and look/feel good, then it could be a possibility for me as well. ;-)

Kimberlygo - thanks so much! exactly what I was looking for. Congratulations on your achievement! I hope to be there one day, yes, I think I would be more toned at 125, then at 130 - I'm sure it will take a while longer to get there. :-) Go dreamgurl! I couldn't even imagine being in a size 4 jean! lol. I have always been…

Thank you! I will try this variation immediately! I am always looking for healthy alternatives to long time favorites. Cauliflower is also good as a variation on Alfredo Sauce (w/o the cheese or cream). Thanks again!
