  • I have been through so many headphones/earbuds, ranging from $20 to $150, over the years. The best ones I've found are the Bose SoundSport wireless earbuds with Bluetooth. They have different sizes of silicon bits to fit your individual ear size, the way they're shaped helps them stick in your ears while you run, they are…
  • Holy moly! Awesome!!
  • Great job, you look fantastic, and I'm sure it feels amazing!
  • I eat tuna almost every day in a salad for lunch. I use those little Starkist pouches, usually the "sweet and spicy" one, which is pretty tasty, and the whole pouch is 90 calories. They have a few different flavors. Alternatively, if I make a little tuna salad at home, I just use a can of light tuna in water, add a little…

  • I think we all think our goal is unattainable at some point along the way. But it's not unattainable, you're not too fat, and you can do this. I started off about 360 pounds -- seriously, morbidly obese. It took me three years, but I lost almost 190 pounds. It's been about a year since then, and I am still…
  • Female; 5'9"; 36 Highest: ~360 (ugh) Lowest: Technically 6 pounds 14 oz., but since birth and adulthood, 170. Current: 172 Goal: 160 Trying so hard to get down to my goal, but I think the rest of my excess weight is just floppy skin. :\ I'm actually incredibly pleased to be where I am now, and am trying to find a happy…
  • Wow, that is a fantastic transformation, especially in just a few months. Way to go!
  • This has been a long process for me that I've learned so much from, so please excuse my long post. I just want to share the wisdom I think I've gained. :) 1. What was your starting weight and height? I started at 5'9" and about 360 pounds. 2. What is your current weight/goal weight? I am currently 175. My ultimate goal is…
  • Echoing a few others. If morning workouts are difficult, then do them in the evening, or whenever is most convenient for you. I will say, I love getting a workout done early. It makes me feel like I've accomplished something right away, it wakes me up for the day, makes me feel great and invigorated, and once I'm done, I…
  • You don't see differences because you see yourself every day and don't pick up on the subtle daily changes. I assure you, there is a big difference between your "before" and "after" photos. You've dropped a chin (I don't mean that to sound bad, it's true!) and are all-around slimmer looking. Your waist and bust are more…
  • I really like PMD Amplify XL from my GNC store in the "double chocolate explosion" flavor. It tastes pretty much like a chocolate shake. It's good on its own with water, and I also really like to mix it in with some plain oatmeal for my morning breakfast (add a banana for extra goodness). It's 140 calories per scoop (I use…
  • I used to drink at least three cans of Diet Coke a day. When I decided to cut soda from my diet, I really needed that fizziness, and water wasn't doing it for me. The vending machine at work has La Croix in it, and I rely on that when I really want a soda. It's carbonated flavored water. It's a little hard to get used to…
  • I would say keep grinding AND make changes. Try tweaking your calories to see if that works. If not, try changing up your exercise routine somehow. I don't know what your particular eating habits are, but maybe try cutting sugar down more than usual, or carbs. It's hard to say, honestly, because 1) everybody (and every…
  • Fantastic job! I hope you feel as great as you look!
  • Congratulations! Amazing job!
  • Hi there! Most people have already said what I wanted to say, but I wanted to chime in with some support. I have lost 180 pounds over three years. I still have about 15 to go, but it's made a huge difference in my life. If I can do this, YOU CAN. Don't be intimidated, don't be scared, just go out and do it. Make small…
  • You are fabulous and inspiring, and you look fantastic. Congratulations!
