"Are you hungrier for that junk food than that bikini body?" I'll admit, sometimes the junk food wins, but I always make sure that it fits into my calories. I don't want to deny myself something, but I also don't want to go overboard since it's really easy for me to slip back into hold habits. It's getting much much easier…

So far I've lost 20 lbs (a little before I joined) and they haven't gone down at all. They've gotten a little smaller around the sides, near my underarms, but haven't gone down a cup size. I think it's going to be different for everyone. Before I gained my weight, I was still VERY large chested (I even had a reduction, but…

Stir fry with green beans, peppers, steak, and rice noodles. I might throw in some curry paste too. I'm excited! I rarely eat red meat, so this is a definite treat for me!

I had this. Upping my protein and really focusing on getting it all helped. I also added another 100 calories onto my day (but I still go over sometimes to get all my protein and fiber, no biggie!). I also started using mustard seed oil with fenugreek and that's helped a lot. So many products seemed to make the shedding…

My 6', 175 lbs husband will pretty much eat anything, so his approval is anything that will fill up his plate. But I do have to make a lot of food to feed my big man and we're not exactly rolling in cash. One of the best purchases that I've made within the last few months (and probably all of last year) was Ten Dollar…

A little bit. I don't dye my hair and I already try to keep my teeth white. I'm growing out my hair to be able to put it in a ponytail, but I cut my own, so a new hairstyle isn't something I'm going to try since I'll probably mess it up really bad. I do plan on changing my wardrobe. I'm hoping to get back down to my own…

If you can get your hands on them don't forget about all the amazing fruits and vegetables from Asia (western as well as eastern!). Bok choy, bamboo, bitter melon, rambutan, jackfruit, dragon fruit (my personal favorite), burdock root, that yellow one that looks like an octopus (I don't know a name other than buddha's…

My first day of T25 Beta today!

Calorie deficit and exercising for me!

I have one of those little Hamilton Beach blenders and I can carry it with me if I have to, but I make these at home. I use the same cup and just rinse it out so it's less dishes to do, but I bet these would work for you on the go too. I workout when I get up, and I'm usually tired, so I make a kind of protein latte: 1 cup…

Balenciaga. Time of year?

Hawaii. Aloha!

I'm only going to list the ones I use. Resistance bands (a few sizes), loop resistance bands, and weighted gloves. I think I'm going to get a weighted vest too. I don't like clutter and I can travel with these things very easily. I do a lot of home workouts, so it fits my needs great.

American Hustle. It was FANTASTIC! Jennifer Lawrence was hilarious. All the actors were great. We sat next to a couple who were about our parent's age (who were in their prime in the 70's) and they got a big kick out of the fashion and decor.

Oh god, it didn't even register when I wrote it. Geez. :blushing:

I'm a 34 DD. I have a great sports bra (I liked Moving Comfort, but I normally go for Champion because they have shorter straps) that I wear when doing my exercises and I do low-impact. I originally started doing this because high-impact was hurting my bad knee, but found that my boobs not bouncing around was another great…

Falafel! I would love to deep fry them, but I find that baking or a shallow fry (if they're in patty form) is just fine. I like it also because I can make it as a full dinner. I try to make meatless meals that my husband will also enjoy and falafel is definitely one that's made it onto the list!

I just started fitting into my old jeans again, and they're all bootcut. I want straight leg. So I'm in the middle of converting them into either straight or skinny leg (since some are stretch and some aren't) and I'm also taking in the waist a little bit. A lot of my sewing is spent taking in my clothes these days. But I…

Just finished Alpha today! I really love the program. I didn't lose that much weight, but I lost a lot of inches and I'm excited to see what will happen with Beta and Gamma rounds. I'm even considering doing another round. I generally burned around 300 calories (according to my hrm), but there are so many variables to that…

You look awesome! They're all amazing, but the side pic in particular is so dramatic! Great job!

Check these out (there are 2 pages of them): http://www.blogilates.com/butt/ Free and you can really feel the burn! Oh and I know she has new on youtube that she hasn't added yet. It was only a few days ago.

I have a Polar FT4 and it has a chest strap. I just tuck it underneath my sports bra with the little monitor thing in between my boobs and it stays in place very well. If I'm doing something like burpies or some variation of that it can sometimes come out. But it's very easy to tuck back in. I think that any chest strap…

I like the Puma brand. To save a bit of money, I look for them in TJMaxx in the boys section. Usually they'll fit a girl with a shoe size up to 8 (I'm a 7 and they fit perfectly) and the boys section is usually cheaper than the women's. Great quality, very comfortable, cheap, and usually easy to find (I know you can get…

You did that in 8 months? Wow! What commitment! Great job! I'm sure you'll get down to your goal in no time. You've done such a fantastic job so far!

No. But I have this! http://www.skinnytaste.com/ And this! http://www.101cookbooks.com/ And this! http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/ And while it's healthy, although not low cal, this one is still my all time favorite! http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/ Something that helped me a lot was finding a site that listed fruits and…

I'm not doing it too much right now, but I did do it for a while. I happened upon this video on youtube where Adriana Lima show her workout (the jump rope is near the end): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffQf-U1aez8 It seemed like fun and it was, but it'll make sweat! The moves were hard at first, but after a while I got…

I love the success stories pictures when the same clothes are worn. You can really see such a difference. And I would say dramatic! I'm 5'2" so I know what a big difference that is! Look at those obliques! And your arms and hips look much slimmer. A lifestyle change rather than a diet is always key to success, so good for…

I bought "You Grow Girl" not too long ago and am totally wanting to grow a few herbs. I'm a total beginner and those seem pretty fool proof. I can't wait until I have a yard. I would love to grow some veggies as well.

The body, the hair, the confidence. It's a whole new you! You look so beautiful and happy. You should be immensely proud of yourself. Great work! Congrats!

Zuzka Light has a small space (and a hotel room, I think) workout on her youtube channel. It's cardio, and I don't think there's any equipment. As long as you have a good connection, her youtube workouts are fantastic. Talk about a burn!
