After looking at everyone's success it's hard to feel like I had much of an challenge or an issue. Awesome work by everyone, this is always inspiring to come in and see all of these pictures. My transformation took about 4 months, but has been on going ever since I started over 2 and a half years ago. I hope I can be an…

I would not count the Mio Energy towards your water intake because it does contain caffeine. As for Mio in general I think it's amazing! I can easily knock back my 8 cups a water a day when using it in my water. Plus I get pretty picky when it comes to drinking tap water from certain places but Mio makes it that I don't…

I will be my own valentine. Either that or the new treadmill at my gym. :-D

I just put tuna on mine or some type of deli meat. Never tried anything different like the pizza recipe they advertise on the package.

My favorite kind of 6 pack!

Those overnight oats look fricken amazing! I'm wishing I saw this before I made a trip to the grocery store after the gym so I could buy the stuff to try it out. You are my hero for the week. My normal breakfast is spent driving to the office in my squad. That only consists of: Nature Valley Granola Bar (I vary the type…

I live on the oven roasted chicken breast on 9 grain wheat w/ provolone. I stack on the veggies (spinach instead of lettuce), mustard and sometimes get daring and add banana peppers and jalapenos. I usually get a footlong for my after workout meal and only eat half. I save the other half for lunch the following day.…

Not if you cover it with delicious maple syrup it's not!

Thanks! I'm currently down 43lbs from when I started to this morning.

Low intensity workouts help burn calories over a long period of time. They are the type of workouts you can do for a longer period of time. High intensity workouts help you burn fat. You do not want to do long workouts like this because you will start burning muscle instead of fat. Try keeping the workout low intensity and…

Before: Around 210lbs After: Around 165lbs

I'm bumping one more time because I am still curious.

Before Bed Time Bump!

Why did you cut out breads and pastas? Are you trying to cut carbs out completely? It comes down to will power and moderation. You have to force yourself to not eat chocolate. You need to keep yourself from getting comfortable and then gaining it back again. I still eat "bad" things, but I still have lost all the weight as…

That's because you eat babies..........and ICE CREAM!

Carbs kill kittens. Therefor I don't even look at them.

I was drinking Diet Coke religiously for the last 6 years.......and I lost 40lbs while drinking it and dieting. I've stopped drinking it all together now for a month and haven't dropped ANY additional weight while still dieting and exercising as I previously did. The weight doesn't melt off when you stop drinking it and I…

An annoying bump to help her out!

Welcome Presque!! I'm glad all the bugging paid off! ;-)

I hope you didn't eat that cake that you have in one of your profile pictures then.

I've lost all my weight off of eating healthy and watching my calorie intake. Calories are the only thing I care about when it comes to any of my meals. A diet is a diet. If you restrict eating a certain thing and then watch your portions of everything else you eat you will lose weight. Give the carb diet a try if your…

Someone made a good comment that caffeine is a diuretic and rides the body of water. If I drink tea/coffee I do not count it as water. The only thing I add to my water sometimes is Crystal Light packages that don't have caffeine.

3 accounts?! Wow! I hope 3rd time is the charm and I'd love to help!

Well what about the days you aren't working and not at class. Obviously you won't have the normal burn on a day off. Instead of setting your fitness level to active, set it to lightly active. Then just log the exercise and 30 minutes of walking to your workout journal. That way you can compensate for the days you are…

What if I give to much support? Is that a bad thing?!?!?!

Hello Mike! I'm always looking for new friends as well. Welcome to the forums!

I think you found it in the "Free" section.

I love chicken breasts. I'll buy the largest pack of FRESH chicken breasts I can get at WalMart (6-9 breasts). I'll go home and bake them right away using Mrs. Dash seasoning (sodium free). I store them in my refrigerator and feast on them for the next week!

I am not a lady :-(

How many calories is that? ;-)
