You're a definite knock out! I'm so proud of you...you look gorgeous! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your story!

You look FABULOUS!!!!! Way to go, and what a difference heavy lifting makes! I'm in Stage 1 of NROL4W and I'm loving it! In fact, I'm quite sore today from Tuesday's workout....I've got dead lifts today! I know you said you followed the book to a T.....did you follow his meal plans as well and/or add other foods as well?…

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to read my post and write a note of encouragement. You are all MUCH LOVED and APPRECIATED! I'm a member of a "tall group" here on MFP. If you'd like to join, here's the link: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/90-totally-tall-women-of-mfp

Wow! What an amazing difference. You're even more beautiful and YOUNGER now! Way to go...keep up the great work...thanks for sharing your story!

I'm dealing with this myself and have been going to a podiatrist for months....trying not to have surgery. If the pain is worse in the morning, I'd say go ahead and go see a podiatrist first. It's better to get things under control before your injure yourself further. It's hard listening to your body when it's in pain, but…

I appreciate it when someone takes the time to read my posts or look at my progress pictures and give a compliment or word of encouragement. I've read many success stories since I've been on MFP and looked at countless progress pictures. They've helped me to succeed myself. What great motivation especially when you're…

How old were you when you got engaged? 16 How long had you been together before getting engaged? 1 year, 3 months. We were engaged for 1 year How old were you when you got married? 17 (three months shy of my 18th birthday) Are you still together (if so, for how long)? Yes, 25 years this May

Oh my gosh! This made me laugh out loud. It's just hysterical! Thanks for your sweet compliment, thanks for putting a smile on my face, and making me laugh out loud. My son's (and husband) get a real kick out of what people say...so do I. You all bless my life abundantly and I could not have made it this far without such a…

I love http://www.skinnytaste.com/ Her recipes are amazing and she's great about posting several pictures for each recipe. One of my favorite books is Cooking Light's Mix and Match Low Calorie Cookbook. 1,500 Calories a Day. You can check it out here:…

I'll send you a private message ;-)

Thanks...I bought this one from JC Penney. You'll get into your little black dress before you know it! It's amazing what you can do in 3 months, six months, and WOW what a difference a year makes! Keep pressing on toward your goal!

My cardio is a mix of the following: Power walking (4.5 - 7.5 miles usually), step aerobics, step aerobics w/ weights, Biggest Loser Boot Camp, and Biggest Loser Cardio Max. I have just begun "The New Rules of Lifting for Women" (NROL4W) book by Lou Schuler. So, I've cut way back on cardio during Stage 1 of my…

Way to go! Great dedication and determination. Even though the weight loss on NROL4W has been small, your pictures from one month, to another, to another speak volumes for the program and your hard work. I'm in Stage one of NROL4W and so far, I'm loving it. My upper body strength is weak and needs much improvement. I'm…

You are SMOKIN' HOT girl! Way to go....job well done. I'm so proud of YOU!!!!!!

Thank you again for reading my post and your encouragement. I've gotten so many comments and messages that it's hard to keep up with how to reply to them. I do REALLY appreciate you taking the time to write. Please read my blog: http://www.transformingabetterme.blogspot.com/ for answers to your questions about my workout…

I do this routine at home...I'm in stage 1 of the workout. I have an Olympic set at home, a weight bench, cable machine with weights, dumbbells, power tower, aerobic step, and stability ball. So far, I haven't run into any exercise that I can't do at home yet. I LOVE the program and I highly recommend it! Someone above…

UNBELIEVABLE! You look simply AMAZING! Congrats on your hard work and dedication. Keep up the great work! APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

FANTASTIC! AMAZING! WONDERFUL JOB! Thanks for sharing your transformation. You look wonderful!

Thank you for reading my 1 year update and thanks for your sweet notes of encouragement and support. Trust me, it goes a long way! Many of you have asked me questions about my exercise routine and have asked how I've found the motivation to stay in it for the long haul. I'd like to encourage you to go to my my blog here:…

Girl! That is HUGE progress...and in 30 days! Incredible! Congratulations, and keep up the great work!

I'm in Stage 1 of New Rules of Lifting for Women and I'm loving it! =)

My pictures are already in another 5'11" post, but I'll add them here for you to see also. I am 5'11" with an hourglass figure and a small frame (my wrists are tiny and I only wear an 8-8.5 shoe). My progress so far is 45 pounds lost. I started a year ago and was about to go up to a Size 18 which was a turning point for…

Oh YUM-O!!!!! Thanks for the recipe. Definitely gonna try it!

YUM-O! Thanks....I'll definitely try this =)

QUESTION: I'm trying to get off of this plateau I've been on since October, and among other reasons, I'm hoping that weightlifting is a perfect solution to breaking my plateau. I've increased my calories to "maintenance" as Lou suggested in the book, and I just started NROL4W. So far, I've completed the first three…

I'm a big New Rules of Lifting for Women fan. The book is great and the workouts are FUN. I wish I would have started heavy lifting before I lost most of my weight. I've heard lots of people say that you don't need to wait until you lose your weight first. Had I started the heavy lifting 11 months ago, there's no doubt in…

I love Moe's. You can really get great tasting meals for low calorie counts too. In fact, I've eaten at Moe's weekly and lost 45 pounds doing so. Most days I skip the chips and queso, but I love Moe's fresh ingredients. I tend to get the Joey Jr Streaker with no rice and it's very low cal. For a family of four, it's better…

You look FANTASTIC! What an amazing transformation. You inspire us all! APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You ROCK and you look amazing! Way to go...keep up the good work and thanks for inspiring so many! APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My name is Jennifer (myboysmomx2), wife and mom to two great teenage boys. I'm coming up on my 1 year anniversary on MFP and I'm ready to begin weight training the right way. I loved the NROL4W book, and I can't wait to get started. I'm beginning my first Stage 1, Workout A workout today. I'm very excited. I look forward…
