The vegetable masala patties (frozen in a box of 4) are really good. heat in toaster oven, top w./ hummus, their cucumber yogurt dressing and fresh tomato...a great salad alternative for lunch. their raw almonds are the best/cheapest I buy a dozen bags at a time and their cheeses cant be beat, I buy the sliced and brie for…

That's hilarious. And cute. And a NSV!

Awesome transformation! You look so much younger too! Just make that face and I think you'll be fine ;)

Tell myself that it's not like I cant have an almond twist (or whatever im craving)ever again... Just not today. It will still be there later. I'm in a special phase right now, looking for change and transformation. And I look at the success stories. Maybe write your own success story from the vantage point of 6/12 months…

Did that DVD today and it is tough! Hubby and I ff past ten minutes of it do you are doing great! Don't judge your body on a bent, upside down pose! Never happens in real life!!!

All good common sense, thanks for pulling this together!

My kids are 10 and 5, but I had them later in life...at 35 and 39. Tummy? you can see mine in my profile pics... tummy is now going back to flat, but my small waist might be a thing of the past. I'm happy though, with my recent progress. and the bumpy skin look is going away slowly too.

You look so happy, and HOT! :)

Sautée like this then put in a toasted quesadilla w a little cheese and grilled peppers. Omg, the best!!

I love your story and your angelic face! just radiant , way to go!

awesome...you look amazing and 10 years younger! I love zumba and follow 2 teachers around who are so great! But I just got into MFP a month ago and the weight is finally coming off bc of what i'm eating now (or not eating!)

super cool!

Get a HRM and some DVDs that you are excited about.

I bought the Polar rs100 after trying out a friend's. I love it. The screen is larger, easier to read than the f4. I got it at amazon and it was really marked down.

Great job! very inspiring...would love to hear about your story, what you ate, how you worked out etc! congrats!

Haha. I like that he was so specific !!!

Maliasa, did you try it? What do you think? I brought my hubbie last weekend and he was dying! He's in good shape, used to be a runner, now a P90X convert...but it kicked his butt. He burned over 800 calories as did all the men.

that top is super cute! If you can, try getting a professional spray tan. before a pool party it is worth it! now I know why BB professionals all spray tan...you feel so much more fit in like 10 minutes :)

sounds like you are really moving and exercising, that's half the battle! When they weight drops you are going to be a hot mama! But I too had to admit that my abs were going to be found (and lost) in the kitchen!

My HRM shows about 520 cals after a 60 minute HARD sweaty Zumba class. I'm 5'7" and 137. hope that helps...

LOVE IT!

Super inspiring! I love that you said you were happy all along. So important!

can you share the article? curious...

I like the pink

Scale went up three years in a row at my annual physicals. I had to admit that exercise alone wouldn't keep my slim in my 40's...

I hear you... what I hear often is "you don't have any weight to lose!" I know its meant to be a compliment but then I feel I have to go into some explanation of how my weight has creeped up and I just wear it well..yada yada. I think people automatically feel that they should be doing something too...so they discourage…

A large fresh almond twist pastry with a full fat latte from the coffee shop. Almost everyday! Now I earn half a twist with a 2% latte when I kill it at the gym! :)

I finally thought of it this way... If i never wrote down what i spent every day and never could check at the bank how much i had, how long would i be able to keep in my head what my bank balance was? answer.. about a day! So its the same with food. I don't really remember unless i keep it logged. I do think that after a…
