Congratulations! You oughta be proud of yourself. I like the 'five pounds at a time' approach. Very inspiring for those of us who are just getting started on this journey.

Skydiving! I want to do it again at the end of this summer! The place is in Santa Cruz, California and you land on a beach! Views were breathtaking - never seen anything so beautiful!

My summer go-to lunch smoothie. I drive home from work almost everyday for lunch to make this. Two big handfuls of spinach, steamed beets, fruits (mango, blueberries, strawberries) and unsweetened almond milk- give or take on the fruits depending on calorie needs. So filling! Try it out.

I love figleaves.com - fashionable lingerie and bras. Check it out!

Bollywood cool :-)

Met my BF of six years in college. I was a fresh of the boat African foreign student and he was the generous, outgoing kid who thought I had a British accent- go figure!

All-round American girl..

I simply just do have the appetite in the morning! I am in no way an expert but I have recently read and started drinking water(cold, icy water) or coffee early in the morning to trigger the sympathetic nervous system to keep the metabolic rate humming!

Great advice!! I especially like the idea of increasing calories for weight loss resuls. I am planning to start making protein shakes to increase my caloric intake to meet my TDEE.

Bravo! Well done! Great shape - you are looking great! Keep it up!

Try putting in Polenta for Ugali. Lentils for green-grams. Donuts for mandazi. Naan for chapati.
