Thank you!! I'm starting a free 30 day challenge, of any of you are interested. A Step by step how I achieved my goals. Add me on Facebook - Eddie N Irene Ortiz

Thank you...struggle makes success even sweeter, that quote us so true. Embrace the struggle, make it worth it learn from it and keep swimming. What's your ultimate goal? Say it out loud, tell people, even if its scary. I was scared if what people would say scared of failing, or making a fool of myself. But I did it…

<<<<<<<< I can't post pics but check out my profile pic. 145 to 115 in nine months. I placed 2nd in 2 bikini cariegories:) http://bit.ly/15WyfJj

Impressive, kudos!! Keep it up;)

I weight lift 6 day split and cardio 2 days. Your body is clay you can mold it, but only with weight lifting. You wanna look soft and melty do lots if cardio:-/

Thank you srogers89!! Hopefully it continues;)

I teach body pump, body flow, tkb, Piyo, yoga, Pilates and aqua lol. I'm always gonba lM always gonna love group fitness. It's good for all levels especially if you have a good instructor. They are fun, full body workouts that help you to get it done and get out. I would not be where I am today without group fitness!!

For m it's not the cover of a boOk. If I know your and you know what you're talking about I'll hire you. Now if you don't look the party my question is" if you can't motivate yourself how are you ginna motivate me?" no matter how knowledgable you are if you don't have the drive or push that I require then youre just not…

5'3" I range anywhere between 120-125 give or take, depending on TOM or sodium intake. Im more comfortable at 125-130 with some meat on my bones, but seeing that number on the scale messes with me:-/ lol

Psshh do it, your body your choice. Everyone is always gonna have something to say no matter what. Do u, and make yourself happy. For me after being over weight, breast feeding 3 children, working hard at getting into shape I deserve it. I believe what I believe and my relationship with the higher is mine alone. Only one…

Disgusted by tubgirl, offended no, my own curiosity. On a scale I'm a 7, offend me apologize and I'm over it. Continue to offend me and I'm done, its more a respect issue than being offended. Some people talk, act, walk different, it not wrong just different. Know your boundaries with people and its all good:)

I'm such a banana, but hey I look good for a banana lol...

Pros: It's tastes, good its filling, nutrient dense Cons: really expensive, not something u can sustain for a lufetime, greenberry tastes awful, chocolate is really good but once you stop the choc shake the real sugar cravings kick in. If you can afford it, its a great way to luck start you healthy lifestyle, but if you…

Short and simple....yes!! It's one thing to be nice because its just in your character but another to be nice because your trying to hard. Be u, desperation is what it comes off as. I'm nice, unless u make me mean lol

I usually 2 weeks surplus, lots of strength training and lil cardio. When I lean out I carbs cycle or cal zig sag and incorperate cardio...but more in circuits unless I'm teaching a class:)

Push ups, jumping jacks, Ben gay, rollers in your hair, singing at the top of your lungs listening to your ipod in the sauna Going into a group class and doin your own routine, some instructors won't say anything but I will. Not wearing deoderant Wearing shoes in the sauna Correcting people on form when your form sucks lol

I agree w/Lanna, do what you can when u can. As long as u do u will still get results:)

You guys are too funny! Any package has chemicals in it to preserve its shelf life. Exactly like what was said if it comes from the earth and you don't dip it or fry it eat it. Ie. Vegetable trays with ranch dip fruit trays with chocolate fondu, fish chicken battered and fried. But all your replies were entertaining, I…

Really?? why u gotta be so difficult lol

Both it confuses the body, do some research on zig zagging cal intake. It works:)

Just add me:)

Ooops not 599 I meant 500:)

Less isn't better, just track what you eat regularly to give you an idea where to start. But be honest about servings and portions, enter it into your mfp. When you know what you are intaking then subtract 500 from that number. If you have an intake deficit of 599 per day for 7 days(1 week) then your weekly intake deficit…

Wow it is truly an mind blowing to hear everyone, understand. And yes it goes both ways thin or heavy, either struggling to gain or lose. I didn't realize this till recently that its just as insulting to be called to skinny as to be called to fat:( It is harder done than said, I've been struggling with it for over 10years.…

I would initially be cautious and gradually increase since you have been at 1200 for a while. Not to much to fast, but you should not be ok with losing muscle. It's what keeps us strong and healthy, and the mire muscle you have the more calories you burn on a daily basis:)

Now this is exactly the mind set we should all have, kudos friends:)

Here is the link that helped me with my daily zig zag pattern. http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

Everyone us different, you have to figure out which is best for you. I believed everyone when they said eat those back and boy were they wrong. As long as I eat my goal intake I don't care what the net is. But what I do know is, going as low as 1200 will get you to lose up to a certain point, but you will eventually…

Things I learned the hard way on my journey: #2. It takes just as long learning to maintain as it does to lose weight. Once you get to our goal its not easy peasy from there, still takes work. But its worth it:) I gained 14 lbs in a month in may when my father in law passed:( It was hard to jump back on the wagon but I…
