Pick out a really cute bathing suit from Victoria Secret. Make copies of it and tape them all over your house. Tell yourself that when you get where you can wear it, you'll order it for the summer. You're alot closer to wearing one of those suits than I am, so get off the pot the just do it!!!!!!

Use a tablespoon of p-nut butter, handful of nuts, or a tsp of a healthy oil on your salad to bump up the calories without getting that too full feeling.

I would say you need to eat more. Somes days you're way under where you should be. Also, there needs to be more lean proteins ,veggies, and whole grains. And everyday start with a big healthy breakfast, this is fuel to wake up the body to start burning fat. Be sure to drink at least 8 glasses of water each day. Hope this…

And that is why women feel they can't ever measure up, cause they compare themselves to a picture that isn't even real. This picture is beautiful!!!

You will love all the support and info you get here. Ask questions and you will get some really good feedback. To start, I suggest you measure yourself and grab a tight pair of jeans. This will get you through the times when the scale stands still. It happens, but when it does, seeing those inches come off and those jeans…

We aren't made from a cookie cutter so BMI and weight charts don't concern me. I'm a solid gal and have never looked like I weigh as much I do. As long as I'm healthy and fit, that's all that matters. We shouldn't let Hollywood decide for us what the perfect size is either. Everyone is different, just work at being the…

Strength training. Be sure to add core exercises like deadlifts, deep squats, and elevated split lunges. I'm getting real results doing these.

I think increasing your calorie intake might be key. If you're working out, you need those extra calories. If your body is not getting enough fuel, weightloss will stall.

I have found that since I switched to strength training, I can go on vacation for a whole week and eat all my favorites and maintain. I do try to get in a few workouts durning those days. In the past when I just did cardio, a vacation always meant a gain for me. So eating over doesn't always mean a sure gain, that's why…

This!!!!

You're counting your calories, but how many? You have to give fuel to your body to burn fat. If a fire runs low on wood it goes out. If your body runs low on fuel, it stops burning fat. You need those calories to support your workouts.

You look awesome!!!

Make sure to eat your exercise calories and cut out the junk. Chips, Pizza Hut, etc., you could maybe have for one meal a week as a reward, but the rest of the time you need lean protein, veggies, whole grains.

I hate that commercials are sooooo loud, I'm not interested is the crap they're selling anyway. I can't get to the mute button fast enough!!!

You are AWESOME!!!!! And Go *kitten*!!!!! My husband played for South Carolina in the 70's. We love Columbia and visit Lake Murray every year.

AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!

Ain't ever gonna happen to me, not with these hips!!! But, who cares, curves are beautiful! Just as long as they are firm and I'm healthy.

I'm seeing results since I added deadlifts, deep squats, and elevated split lunges. These really work the core muscles. I see the belly area shrinking as in my pants and underwear no longer cut into me.

Great job!!! And you helped her see things through a different light, one that will help her keep the weight off instead of putting it right back on by losing weight in an unhealthy manner. Awesome job!!!

You're under eating which is causing your body to hold on to what little fuel it's getting to keep from starving. Eat the calorie number MFP gave you when you signed on and then eat most of the extra calories you earn through your workouts. Your body needs fuel to burn fat, fuel is food!

I would never be happy if that was my main purpose. I just want to be healthy and firm. I'm working on building muscle so I can be a fat burning machine.

Eat half with an apple and plenty of water for lunch and the other half for dinner. Then let that be your splurge for the week.

Wow!!!! You look wonderful!!!!

What brand HRM did you purchase?

For me, I'm having better results eating back my exercise calories. I was stuck at the same number FOREVER!!!! But started losing once I began eating them back. I also do strength training and need those extra calories to support muscle building. Plus I love that I can eat so much!!!

Yes you are. The number MFP gives you when you fill out your profile does not, I repeat, does not factor in any exercise calories until you enter your exercise you have done for the day. What ever that number becomes, is the number of calories you need to eat. This allows you to lose weight and develop firm skintone. Why…

I get 1310 calories given to me by MFP for days I don't workout, then I add 363 calories, which I earn from 40 min. of circuit traning. That gives me 1673 calories to eat to support my workout, build muscle and lose weight. I ciruit train 4 to 5 days a week. Hope this helps.

I will bump up my calories by having p-nut butter on apple slices, healthy nuts, protein shakes, egg whites, and healthy oils. These should help you reach those numbers without having to eat junk. Take it easy on the portions. I have 20 nuts as a serving, 1 tsp. of oil as a serving. I tablespoon of p-nut butter as a…

You've done an awesome job!!!!!

You can eat more cause you are exercising. Therefore, you won't be hungry. Exercise calories are a wonderful thing, plus you will keep from losing muscle cause you're no longer starving yourself.
