Girl, you are gorgeous. Just remember what you tell yourself, your conscious and subconcious ultimately believes. Stop the negative self-talk, you are awesome, you are beautiful, you are amazing!! Your fiancee chose you out of all the girls in the world. He sees your beauty inside and out. The above posters are correct,…

Great Smile :)

Amazing transformation, you look like a new man!! Congratulations, lots of hard work right there & it shows!!

40 rocks! It brings confidence and the ability to speak with authority. You care less about what people think. Turning 40 has been a very liberating for me. I'm in way better shape and am so much happier than I ever was in my 30's. Don't look at it as you have all these things you haven't accomplished. Why can't you still…

Fage everyday, and for a treat, the new Yoplait greek yogurt whips. Has too much sugar for an everyday thing, but it's a nice treat once in a while, and comes in great flavors.

Thanks for the words of encouragement! My talk went great, seemed to be well received. Relieved it's over, lol! Half way there, can't wait to show you when I'm at goal! Every day stronger, every day a little better :-)

Keep it up, you are doing awesome!! :-)

That's awesome!! Keep up the good work :-)

Amazing job!! :-)

Hella yeah, weighted squats especially have made all the difference. I went from a flat pancake booty to a nice round firm booty. *kitten* to the grass as my trainer says, or you aren't doing them right ;-)

Holy wow, Superman indeed......nice traps & delts....envious!!

You can handle the Warrior Dash with what you're running & doing now. As far as working on pull-ups, try using bands for assistance, that's what I'm doing, I'm down to 1 band and can manage a couple without. My trainer also had me use the rope to help me build upper arm strength too. You can lay on the floor and using your…

I used to have pretty nails and nice soft hands. I'm an accountant, so my hands were always nice. Since I've started lifting, my nails are pretty short, and can't keep polish on to save my life. My hands are so rough and calloused now, you'd think I work construction. I'm kind of embarrassed to shake people's hands, but I…

If you get good running tights/leggings to workout in, there should be a liner built in, hence no need for underwear, and they won't be see thru.

What a huge transformation, I have no doubt you will reach your goal!! :-)

Very common, I do crossfit, and have had this issue with double unders and deadlifting. I've had substantial scarring due to childbirth 4th degree tears and reconstruction. I've done physio for pelvic floor, but these are still killer, and still cause me problems. I've resorted to wearing a panty liner at the gym so I…

Amazing transformation, you look great!! Keep it up, and can't wait to see when you're finally where you want to be. You are rocking it!! :-)

^^Absolutely this, heavy lifting and squats, squats and more squats, with some lunges thrown in, even better if you are carrying kettlebells.

I aim for 150grams of protein a day. This site is great resource. You can meal plan based on the macros you set, and if you don't like particular things you can exclude them so they don't show up again. I get my protein mainly from: chicken, salmon, eggs, cottage cheese, greek yogurt. I like beef too, but I know you don't,…

Who wears panties with workout pants? You can buy the kind that you don't need any. No lines, no ride up, no show. It's all good :-)

The perfect Trifecta: Sex, Weights & Protein Shakes. Oh hell yeah!!

Works in a carnival or haunted house during the Halloween season, and enjoys scaring little kids and grown ups alike? Drives an ice cream truck on the weekends :-)~ Sorry, clowns are kinda creepy :-/

I'm sorry you are having such bad luck with your trainer. I have a wonderful trainer, and our word is our honor with each other. No contracts. I will say I pay more per session than you are, but I've had 1 day where I was sick, he didn't charge me for the day, we just rescheduled. He's certified and professional. It has…

I just turned 40 this year, but don't act like it. Current conversation on my wall is about my 23 year old trainer and how I fantasize about licking frosting off his abs during my workouts. Anyone can feel free to add me, life's short let's do this thing and have some fun along the way ;-)

Anyone feel free to add me, I'm on daily, and try to be supportive & responsive to my friends. Love my mfing friends :) <3

Voted!! I hope you win, what a fabulous transformation!! :-)

My trainer has me use a neutral grip, one hand knuckles out, one knuckles in. I get a better grip that way. Guess it's personal preference :-)

I seem to bruise more easily as well....following for info :-) I have been lifting and have bruises on my legs and arms from the bar, but figure that's to be expected, however, if I run into the corner of my footboard or nightstand I get huge bruises too. Bigger or worse when dieting than not :\

You are definitely making great progress!! Keep up the hard work, it's paying off, you are looking fabulous!! :-)
