You are beautiful, and once you start working at it, you will feel even more beautiful. You have to do this for yourself, not for anyone else (although it benefits them). I have a great Instagram friend you should follow if you're on there. Her name there is IAMStandsWithaFist I think. I'll find out and let you know --…

Anything I don't want to eat I don't have in the house. If it's not good for me, it's usually not good for anyone else, either. Just turn off the lights in the kitchen and make it an off-limits zone for everyone. :-) Good luck.

This thread...this picture, video, whatever you call it...it's all getting to me. Almost 12pm and I feel like running to Publix for Ben and Jerry's Phish Food Icecream. Aaaaugh!

Many others more expert than I, but weights will change everything -- for the better. You have a really aggressive plan -- you might want to scale it back so that if you don't do everything you've said, you won't feel like you failed. Personally, I do weights four days a week, yoga and hiking two times/week, and the "rest"…

Oh, I'm so glad all the answers didn't just confuse you more and that DavPul's answer got it for you. If you're lifting weights, and have a calorie deficit, you are going to lose weight. If you are lifting weights, you are going to feel great mentally (great confidence booster for women, I think), and pretty soon, your…

You're just beautiful, and don't let that scale rule! I can easily say that because I worried about that hunk of metal for so many years and finally just gave it up three years ago. The scale really doesn't matter if you like how you look! If I fit into the clothes I want to fit into, and look good while doing it, I'm…

Looks like a great workout!

Squats are the bomb! I admire you for posting those pics, Achrya -- I could never do that, but ladies, get to the squat rack!!! You might be shy, but just get over it! Start at home with no weight, then dumbells. Don't be afraid of the bar! The only thing you should be afraid of is bad form, but get help, or practice while…

Protein, and make sure you're eating the right fat from the right sources! Fat is important...it's amazing how filling 25 almonds are! Good luck!

Awesome results! I'm 49, lifted weights in my 20s, stopped at some point, picked it up again three years ago (literally, haha), and again, have never felt better. Lately I have worked a lot of CrossFit exercises in and body weight exercises. The only cardio I do is hiking up Kennesaw Mountain here in the 'burbs of Atl a…

YouTube, Buffmother (she's on YouTube), take a CrossFit class -- well worth the $. If you get a good place, they are VERY concerned about form, and if you don't have excellent form lifting heavy, you will hurt yourself and hinder your progress. But keep up the work because lifting heavy is AWESOME and you will see…

In fact, if you want my Jari Love DVD for FREE, email me your address and I'll send it to you. It's literally been sitting on my shelf for three years without being used! staci.w@mindspring.com

When I was just starting out I used Jari Love's Get Ripped and Chiseled (the purple DVD box). It was great (liked it better than all her other stuff, too); I found this at Amazon and it's cheap. You need some dumbells and that's about it (5-12 pounds if you're just starting). It was the basics, and it was challenging. In…

I don't have pics. Darn! But I have proof in how my clothes fit. I'm 49. I'm not ripped, but I can wear skinny jeans and I feel/look better than I ever have. There's so much written now on why lifting (and lifting heavy) does not make women bulky, so I hope you can find some of that info for your friend. Also, challenge…
