The Beauty Detox solution: eat your way to radiant skin, renewed energy and the body you've always wanted by Kimberly Snyder It's in my "to-read" book list for the summer

I definitely think you should be eating more than just fruits for lunch. Don't get me wrong, fruits are great for you and you can have them maybe as a side or dessert, but you're majorly lacking protein in that category. Maybe opt for some grilled chicken or some other sort of protein with veggies for lunch, that ought to…

loveee motivational sayings... you should look up this site http://greatday.com/ it provides great daily motivations :) lovedd the ones you provided btw

If you're sick you should give your body a rest. Eat mindfully and right, especially since you want to do your body good by eating healthy veggies, butternut soup, etc. Things that will make you feel good. But there's no need to make yourself exercise if youre sick

I have to agree with everyone else, having a big bottle of water next to me as I eat so I'm constantly taking big gulps to fill my stomach up more. Before I eat I drink at least a cup of water, and after I will try to do the same. You'll be surprised at how full your stomach feels after so you'll have no desire to stuff it…

roasted butternut with low-fat feta cheese, or just butternut soup

I LOVEE cinnamon ! haha i had the same reaction when i found out it also had carbs..i was like ..what!? lol but nothing to worry about honestly most of the time i forget to document it since its just a sprinkle..but it makes all the difference flavor-wise :D

First of all, congratulations on your success!!!! You have all the right to indulge a little tonight, but be careful with using food as a "reward" for weight loss..it's typically recommended that you reward yourself in other ways

All it means is your body's craving a little chocolate..this is coming from the biggest chocoholic alive! haha..just next time PLAN on eating chocolate instead of mindlessly going for it. This way not only will you not over-splurge, but you will enjoy it more than just mindlessly eating 2 spoonfuls. What I would do is…

Success is definitely more than just a number, when I FEEL like I'm successful, when I'm content with the choices I've made and when I KNOW that I've tried my hardest and given it 100% and learned something, that to me is success

Wonderful post :)! Heading to the gym to wake up and start the week off right!

Congrats!! It's amazing how much easier it gets with time! Just this weekend I went on a mini vacation out of the state and I thought I would go over b/c I would be out of my comfort zone and typical routine, but no..I just made healthy choices when we ate out and snacked on fruits and nuts throughout the day--ended up…

This was my breakfast today: 1 slice of nature's own sugar free whole wheat bread toasted with 1 tbsp of maranatha almond butter (i'm obsessed!!!) you can add 2 tbsp if you'd like topped with some cinammon and half a grapefruit you can add anything else to the toast too, maybe some sugar free jelly or something like that…

It definitely can't hurt you. The thing about water is that if you have it with every meal it also helps you feel fuller quicker and most of the time when we eat because we think we're hungry it's really our body telling us it's thirsty. I aim to drink a minimum of 8 cups of water a day. Start out small and start…

It makes me smile to see all of you beautiful people writing things you love and are thankful for. there are SOOO many things we take for granted--i feel like at the end of the day we need to look at everything we have and just smile and be thankful :heart:

you look absolutely stunning! congratulations :) all your hard work is paying off

Would it help if instead of setting up for example 3 main meals a day (breakfast/lunch/dinner) you set up your diary so that it's 5-6 small "snacking meals a day? You can plan it out so that each small meal is around 200-250 calories. That also helps your metabolism keep on going, and you could spread these out throughout…

Thank you guys!! Ahhh...you're all right :smile: I'm just gonna relax, have fun, and still make conscious decisions. I know I can do this, I just start overthinking it instead of enjoying the moment

I'm obsessed with both almond butter and sunflower seed butter....SO SO good :) next on my to-try list is cashew butter and walnut butter...i've heard great things. I honestly forgot what peanut butter tastes like and I don't really care for it any longer haha

cocoa roast almonds...delish :)

ahhh I need to try this since I'm basically obsessed with hummus...best thing ever

Beautiful video..thank you for sharing. Just goes to show, we can do anything we set our minds to <3

Success to me is being able to achieve my personal goals--whatever they may be. It's working hard enough and seeing the results, not only in the number in the scale, but also seeing the results that it has boosting my self-confidence. I'm just a much happier person when I accomplish things I set my mind to, particularly…

Wow, congratulations ! you look great..all your hard work is obviously paying off, it's amazing to see the changes, particularly in the face, etc :) great job

Wow, all i can say is CONGRATULATIONS!! Well-deserved, you've obviously been working hard!

Agreeeeed!!! it's definitely more noticeable on shorter people, I feel like the ideal weight would be around 120 lb to 115..I just have to get there...need to loose 20 more lb :)

Thank you ! I'm 5'4 so not tooo tall. In the first picture I'm wearing flats and the second heels which makes a difference. But I feel like at 145 my face just looked rounder, etc...

Haha finally fixed! this whole resizing/uploading pics is tricky! :)

WOW! Congratulations, you look amazing! keep up the good work :)
