Amazing results! You should be very proud! Thanks for sharing. :flowerforyou:

Congrats! Great job! :flowerforyou:

BWHAHAHAHAHA! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: This hits the nail on the head right here- there are lots of things you can do to lose weight... but the real question is are they healthy and sustainable? Good luck girlfriend! You can do it! :flowerforyou:

I always feel great when ppl comment to cheer me on. It doesn't even matter what they say- just that's its positive. I like to sprinkle in a little: Nice work! WOW! Look at you! super clean day (for diary) Kicking butt and taking names! And who can forget Dolvett's phrase "Hard work, Dedication" :flowerforyou:

A combination of cardio and strength training is the most efficient way to lose fat....so try incorporating some core strengthening moves (planks, squats, dead lifts, push ups, burpies, etc.) as well as your cardio. ... But abs are made in the kitchen! Try taking a very critical look at your eating habits. For me…

Congrats on your success so far! That's amazing. Best of luck on the rest of your journey. :flowerforyou:

KALE CHIPS!!!! Yellow squash (almost as good for you as legumes) My new obsession is french cut green beans w/ almonds- not sure why they taste so different to me cut lol.:flowerforyou:

I've done lots of Jillian's DVDs and I'm technically still obese. I started needing to lose about 60 lbs. It's absolutely feasible. She has tons of low impact modified moves as well. I say go for it!!!! The great thing about her series is that you can increase intensity as you get more fit. I would also suggest trying the…

Hey- different strokes, different folks. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable and don't listen to everything you hear. Do your own research. It looks like you've already had success so far- Congrats btw! So you know how to do it the "right" way. You've already purchased it so might as well give it a shot. If your body…

Congratulations you look amazing! Best of luck on the rest of your journey. :flowerforyou:

Yep- you should open your diary but please be prepared for very tough feedback. These forums are brutally honest but always w/ the best intention. Also- I'm not an expert... so I'll wait for the PTs to chime in but is it a good fitness choice to do HIIT everyday? And are you doing the same type of HIITs? If you are then…

Congrats! Great job!

Love that quote. What a motivational story! Thanks for sharing. Congrats on your progress and Good luck on your journey. :flowerforyou:

Also try adding some lean ground turkey w/ your chips and salsa. It's low fat, high protein, relatively low sodium and will fill you up faster while you're snacking. :flowerforyou:

Sorta hard to tell because of the angle of the first pic but it definetly looks like your neck is slimmer. MEASURE YOURSELF NOW!!! Try to take measurements of every important area- including neck, arms, ankle- places you don't think you'll notice a difference. Trust me- when you finish your journey you'll be very glad you…

Great job! Keep it up! :flowerforyou:

"walking heart attack" HA HA I Love it! :laugh: I've recently started getting better at being the bigger person in this situations. Now my response is always "This is what works for my body." when people criticize my habits. To each her own. :flowerforyou:

Love the definition in her legs!!! OMG :love: Hey random question- why do some women's abs look like that and some women's abs look like guy's 6 packs? Do people just do different exercises to shape their abs differently? Or are women genetically predisposed to have abs that sorta congregate in the middle or something?

Just sent you an invite. I'm 24 (turning 25 in May) and looking to lose about 65 lbs. total. I'm down 19 so almost a third the way there. Anyone else on this chain feel free to add me. I LOVE people who work out tons! Keeps me motivated. :flowerforyou:

I am constantly in a battle w/ my skin. I feel like some times it's great and sometimes it's bad. I take the following everyday: - GNC "Be Beautiful" hair skin nails pack - One- a-day Women's Active Metabolism - Yogi Skin DeTox tea I've noticed improvements since I've been working out to my skin. I also get in lots of…

Congratulations! :flowerforyou:

Try cutting in in half? I always take my multi-vitamins and 5 hair, skin nail pills (the B-beautiful pack from GNC) w/ my bfast which is usually a big plate of green veggies (spinach, green beans, or kale) and a sandwich (turkey, whole wheat, veggies.) I think all the fiber helps me digest the vitamins but it's just a wild…

Holy *edited* ! You look terrific! Great job dropping the weight and maintaining! :flowerforyou:

Congrats for starting the journey! That's a very big step! And you are very brave to go on these message boards and ask for help (as people can be very critical) usually for the best but occasionally just flat out harsh. I echo many of the things people say. - Lower sodium - Lower sugar - Minimize wheat/carbs - More…

You look amazing! Great job! So inspirational to me :flowerforyou:

*giggles* this post is FULL of people who are misinformed. OP- make sure you do your own research and avoid those dreaded myths- including the "starvation mode" boogey man and the "eat every few hours because it boosts your metabolism" unicorn. Read up on it. Access the situation. And listen to what works for your body. I…

Awesome job guys!
