Thank YOU for reminding all of us that if we work hard and make no excuses, and put our health first, we can all have great success! Way to go lady! You rock and are an inspiration!!

Maybe remind her that those special food days will not help with our goals and politely ask her to count you out from now on. Or bring in healthy options and share your new lifestyle with your coworkers.

Good job, you look fantastic! You also made a very beautiful pregnant gal!! Good job, you're very motivating!!!

I have gone through this too. I finally went down a pant size after about 15lbs lost. I have last about 50lbs and am now down from a size 16 to an 8! I'm not tooooo concerned about pant size though, I don't need to be a size 2, I just want to lose some more fat and feel healthy and fit. I hope you don't get down on…

Way to go :happy:

You're not a failure, so try hard to look at in a different light :) You are trying to do something good for yourself, and you should be applauded! Nothing happens over night, so keep working at the food logging and walk when you can. Have you considered Mall walking in the mornings before or after work? They're usually…

I guess I should have stated, but when I say Modesty, i mean I'm tired of seeing tons of young girls who may be really thin, but wearing clothing with their butt cheeks hanging out. I have a part time retail job, and it just seems like there are so many people who dress in clothes that show waaaaaay too much skin…

Sure! Count this lady in!!

Did you ever know that you're my heeeeroooooo?? LOL Awesome!!

HAHAHAHHAhahahahaha this just made me laugh so hard.

Agreed! Oh one day I hope of I have pretty lady abs!!

You will not get Man muscles by lifting unless you're juicing yourself up with steroids, so if you avoid that, I'm sure you'll just get nice and toned. I can't wait till one day that damn myth of women getting bulky from lifting goes away!!!! Good luck to you and may I suggest you do some research on weight lifting for…

Hi! I'm 5'3", and currently at 152lbs. I'm trying to get fit for my wedding!! Add me as a friend if you'd like :)

I see so many people wearing clothing that is too tight, too short, too small, etc all the time. I see it on large people, I see it on small people. Proper fitting clothing is sometimes a challenge for people, I know, I have been there too! I think that people just need to learn a little modesty and try wearing items that…

I really like the 17 day diet, and I'm going to re-start it again. I felt amazing on it, because I was eating so many nutritional veggies and lean proteins. The fruit you're allowed in the first 17 days was enough for me for carbs. Once you are into the 2nd 3rd and 4th phases and more of your carbs are added back, you are…

What she said!! Doctor territory here ;) Best wishes!

I'm in, I'm going to try my best to log honestly. I have logged a lot, then once a binge happens, I don't log it because of the shame and self hate. This should help me be more accountable!!

Hi, My name is Allison and I'm from London Ontario. I've managed to lose roughly 50lbs, but I'd like to still lose more body fat and get fit and toned. I figure I have at least 20 more lbs to lose before you can see muscles! I'm getting married in September 2013, and that was the kick in the *kitten* I needed to start…

You rock!! Keep motivating us by sharing your wonderful progress!!

I tried it on the advise of a Nurse friend of mine who had great success with it. I'm going to try it again soon, because I liked it, and it worked, and I wasn't always hungry, AND you eat really healthy food while on it. Seems pretty good to me!! And having it recommended by a nurse helps too ;)

You rock girl!

AWESOME!! They have muscles, but they're not roided up and freakish!

There's a smartphone ap called Sworkit that I would recommend you try, it gives you all kinds of no equipment workouts and times them etc. Really handy if you're not too sure what to do or where to start! :D Keep mixing it up so you don't get bored. Have fun!

Brown Rice past with olive oil, fresh tomato, Basil, and broccoli! Some Parmesan cheese :)

I strongly suggest NOT USING LEVER 2000!!! Or any bar of soap on your face. This will make the dryness and peeling worse!!Use something gentle and basic to cleanse 2x a day, not 3 as it will dry your face out too much (unless you worked out, then you should do a wash). Use a nice oil free moisturizer with SPF, and try…

I think this is a great idea, however, I have no pediatrician training. I can't see that it would hurt him unless you give him more than he needs. Obviously try asking a nutritionist if this is ok or a doctor. Having said that, there are a ton of ways you can add protein powder to his foods, and it comes in great flavors…

The most recent few we're, of course, some of the worst. Camping with my boyfriend, we drove to a spot to go take a hike. The guy from Parks and Rec somes over and asks us if we we're camping there, and if so we had to leave our car at the site, a looooong way away, but then he stopped himself to say, "oh sorry, if your…

You rock!

I know, she looks pretty small to me!! I'd love to have more muscle bulk! I have a hard time thinking you can get really bulky as a woman who is not on steroids anyhow, but to each their own!

Don't be sorry, that's what they're here for :)
